Me Today results for the six months ended 31 December 2022
Me Today Limited (NZX: MEE) has released its unaudited Group results for the six months ended 31
December 2022.
The result for the Group records net revenue of $3.60m compared to $3.66 for the six months ended
31 December 2021. The Group incurred a loss after tax of $5.81m in the period compared to $3.91m
in the six months ended 31 December 2021. The operating EBITDA loss for the period is $3.08m
before adjusting for the estimated loss on the current season’s harvest. Further explanation of the
result is included below with a reconciliation of the items between operating EBITDA and the net
loss after tax.
Gross revenue for the Group before the costs of marketing services provided by a customer was
$4.15m. This was split between the Honey segment of $2.51m, Me Today branded sales of $1.35m
and agency services revenue at $0.28m.
As advised previously the company received orders of $1.6m in respect to its BEE+ brand that will
ship in the first quarter of the 2023 calendar year. As a result, the sales for the second half of the
financial year will be higher than the first half and the operating loss will be lower.
The Group has now fully implemented the restructuring of the Beekeeping Division and has
consolidated its manufacturing site in Taupō. As described further below the Group continues to
create sales opportunities across its three core brands. The sales activity comes from new customers
and repeat business building with existing customers. With borders now opening post Covid the
Group is seeing increased activity internationally. In particular there is increased interest in China for
Mānuka honey, which we are seeing both domestically in NZ and in market in China. The Group
believes this will continue to build as the Duty-Free channel in New Zealand opens fully to Chinese
Tourists.
Taking into account the current sales pipeline, the Group believes it has sufficient funding to meet
operational requirements while it focusses on continuing to grow the business.
As discussed in December in terms of brands, we now have 3 focus brands, Me Today, SuperLife and
BEE+.
BEE +
The largest immediate opportunity the Group continues to have is with Bee+ through Access
Corporate Group (ACG) and its brand management division Access Brand Management (ABM). ABM
and the Me Today Group jointly own the Bee+ Mānuka honey brand.
Management have built a close working relationship with ABM and meet on a regular basis to
discuss the requirements of the BEE+ Brand.
The opening of borders internationally and within China continue to benefit trading in the BEE+
brand and discussions are ongoing with ABM in respect to purchase orders for the 2023 calendar
year.

Me Today Brand
With Me Today we continue to invest in establishing the brand locally in New Zealand and
Internationally.
In New Zealand the brand continues to have a strong presence in pharmacy and grocery stores
nationally. The trading model in the latest six months has changed as compared to the December
2021 period with further investment into the retail partnership meaning a decrease in New Zealand
net revenue as a result of the accounting treatment of marketing spend which is deducted from
gross revenue.
In Ireland Me Today continues to be listed in approximately 200 retail stores across independent
pharmacies, Chemist Warehouse and Tesco. The focus within the Irish market is in building the
relationship with Tesco and Chemist Warehouse. In the six months to 31 December 2022, sales in
Ireland were $158k versus $433k in the comparative six month period. The sales in the December
2021 period included pipefill in stocking the Irish distributor.
The Group is reviewing its strategy of investment for Me Today in international markets to limit
spreading its resources too widely. Outside of NZ and the Irish market investment in brand will be
limited to the US, Japan, UAE and Australia. Each market is reviewed continuously to ensure brand
growth is achieved.
SuperLife
SuperLife provides the Group with a Mānuka honey brand that competes in different parts of the
market to both Me Today and BEE+.
As we have advised previously SuperLife has customer and distributor relationships across a number
of international markets. The opportunities within these markets continue to change as the sell
through rate of products is established.
The largest opportunity for SuperLife currently is the relationship with a US grocery chain. Initial sell
through has been positive and a full calendar year forecast has been received. Sales to the customer
are expected to be greater than NZD $1m for the 2023 calendar year. Discussions on how to expand
out the range are taking place with this retailer.
Outside of NZ and the USA, the focus markets for SuperLife are Germany, Romania and the UAE with
sales and reorders into these markets over the past six months.
Investment into the SuperLife brand and International markets will focus around markets where
ongoing sell through of product is being established.
Beekeeping Operations
The Group’s restructured beekeeping operation now has 4,000 hives in the North Island with two
branches operating out of Turangi and Masterton. The industry over the past few years has had a
surplus of Mānuka honey resulting from seasons of strong production and lower demand driven by
Covid. The 2023 season has been significantly impacted by the weather and industry wide
indications are that the season production will be well below average. The 2023 season honey is
currently being harvested, volumes and quality are currently unknown. The Group however expects
3
that the wholesale value of honey for the 2023 season at harvest date will be less than cost requiring
a write down in the year ending 30 June 2023. The exact amount of the write down will not be
known until all testing and processing has been completed. A decision however has been taken to
write down the expected value of the harvest by $0.86m in this period.
The key aspects of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the six months to
31 December 2022 are explained further below:
• The operating EBITDA loss for the Group was $3.08m, split between the business divisions as
follows.
o The Me Today sale of goods and agency services segment operating EBITDA loss was
$1.33m compared to an EBITDA loss of $1.06m for the 6 months ended 31
December 2021.
o The King Honey segment operating EBITDA loss (before adjusting for the estimated
loss on the current season’s harvest) was $1.06m which was consistent with the six
months to 31 December 2021.
o The listed company and shared services operating costs were $0.69m compared to
$0.63m for the 6 months ended 31 December 2021.
Deducted from operating EBITDA were expenses amounting to $2.73m resulting in a net loss after
tax of $5.81m.
The $2.73m of expenses consisted of the following.
• Write down of the 2023 season harvest $0.86m
• Finance Costs (net) $0.29m
• Fair Value loss on Biological Assets $0.54m
• Depreciation and Amortisation $0.25m
• Amortisation of customer relationship asset $0.54m
• Restructuring costs $0.15m
• Write Down of Assets held for sale $0.10m
Total Expenses deducted from EBITDA $2.73m
Further explanation of these are provided below.
o Write down of the current season Harvest
As explained above the Group has taken the decision to write down the value of the
current season harvest by $0.86m due to the impact of the weather on the harvest.
Full details of the harvest will not be known until all processing and testing is
complete later in this financial year.
o Amortisation of the Customer Relationship Asset
The Group completed a valuation of intangibles acquired at acquisition. The ABM
contract was separately identified and has been valued at $9.3m at acquisition date.
The Group has determined 8 years as the appropriate useful life for this asset
4
resulting in an annual amortisation charge of $1.08m. Half of this amount of $542k
has been included in these consolidated financial statements.
o Closure of beekeeping branches and Consolidation of the Taupō Production Facility
The following costs have been incurred as a result of the decision to close the three
beekeeping branches and the consolidation of the Taupō Production Facility.
• The ongoing reduction in hive numbers has resulted in a biological asset fair
value loss of $0.54m.
• Property, plant and equipment and biological assets with a combined
carrying value of $0.52m have been identified as assets held for sale. These
have been assessed at fair value resulting in a write down of $0.10m.
$0.128m remain unsold as at 31 December 2022.
• Restructuring costs of $0.15m have been incurred in relation to closing
beekeeping branches and consolidating the Taupō Production Facility.

Me Today Limited
Condensed Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2022

1. General information
Me Today Limited (‘the Company’) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New
Zealand.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements presented are for Me Today Limited and its
subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’).
The Group produces, sells, and markets health and wellbeing products or acts as an agent on behalf of
other health and wellbeing suppliers. The Group also produces and sells premium Mānuka honey.
2. Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the 6 months ended
31 December 2022 have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (‘NZ GAAP’), with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim
Financial Reporting (‘NZ IAS 34’), with International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting
(‘IAS 34’), and with the requirements on the NZX Listing Rules.
Me Today Limited is a company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC reporting entity
under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is listed on the NZX Main Board.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the notes of the type
normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 which have been
prepared in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ
IFRS’) and International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars which is
the Company’s functional and presentation currency, rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.
This is the first time the Group has reported interim results for the six months to 31 December following
the recent change of balance date from 31 March to 30 June. As a result, this is also the first time the
Group has reported the financial results for the 6 months to 31 December 2021 as shown in the
comparatives. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including the financial results for
the 6 months to 31 December 2022 and 2021, are unaudited. The comparative information as at 30 June
2022 and for the 15 months then ended, is audited.
2.1. Basis of measurement
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for biological assets which are measured at fair value less cost to sell. Historical cost is generally
based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
2.2. Impact of COVID-19
The international and domestic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the ongoing lockdowns in
China, continued to have an impact on the Group’s performance during the period.
Retail domestic sales have continued to be impacted by the reduced number of tourists in New Zealand.
King Honey’s most important customer relationship currently is the partnership relating to the Bee+ brand.
This brand is well established in the Chinese market with an extensive reach created by the brand
principal and distribution partner. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in China, including lockdowns,
impacted on the volume of sales through this distribution partner. The financial impact of the downsizing of
the King Honey operations, which commenced in the previous financial period, is linked to this
underperformance of Bee+ distribution in the Chinese market.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on trade receivables.

2.3. Going concern
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
assumes that the Group has the intention and ability to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.
The Group incurred an after-tax loss of $5.8 million in the 6 months to 31 December 2022 (6 months to
31 December 2021: $3.9 million loss). The Group’s net cash outflows from operating activities during the 6
months was $4.6 million (2021: $6.0 million net cash outflow).
At the reporting date the Group had cash of $2.31 million (30 June 2022: $5.37 million), working capital of
$19.5 million (30 June 2022: $22.1 million) and net assets of $19.0 million (30 June 2022: $24.1 million).
The Group had bank loans of $7.03 million (30 June 2022: $7.03 million), and a subordinated note
payable of $5.3 million (30 June 2022: $5.2 million) which is due for payment to the previous owners of
King Honey in June 2024.
The considered view of the Board is that, after making due enquiries and considering relevant factors,
there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will have access to adequate resources and
commitments from its borrowers, that will enable it to meet its financial obligations for the foreseeable
future.
For this reason, the Board considers the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements for the 6 months ended 31 December 2022 to be appropriate.
The Board has reached this conclusion having regard to circumstances which it considers likely to affect
the Group during the period of at least one year from the date of approval of these interim consolidated
financial statements, and to circumstances which it considers will occur after that date which will affect the
validity of the going concern basis.
The Directors are satisfied, based on their review of the Group’s current financial forecasts, that, during
the 12 months after the date of signing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, there
will be adequate cash flows available to meet the financial obligations of the Group as they arise. This
consideration is made with reference to the following events:
The Group’s banker, Bank of New Zealand, has confirmed that it will keep the Group’s existing bank
facilities in place (refer note 13) subject to further review no later than 31 August 2023 in conjunction with
the FY23 audited financial statements and FY24 budget. Facilities will remain on an interest only basis
until 31 August 2023. The requirement for an amortisation programme will be considered at that time in
conjunction with the FY24 budget. The bank also confirmed covenant requirements were amended to
extend the suspension of earnings-related covenants until 31 August 2023 at which stage the covenants
will be aligned with the FY24 budget.
The Group currently has available overdraft facilities of $5 million to support seasonal operating cash
flows.
Strong commercial relationships continue to be developed with new customers with ongoing expansion
into international markets.
3. Changes in Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in the accounting policies and methods of computation used in preparing the
condensed interim consolidated financial statements compared to those used in preparing the audited
consolidated financial statements for the 15 months ended 30 June 2022. For details of the accounting
policies for the 15 months ended 30 June 2022 please refer to the 2022 Annual Report.

The Group produces, sells, and markets health and wellbeing products (‘sale of goods’ segment) or acts
as an agent on behalf of other health and wellbeing suppliers (‘agency services’ segment). The Group
also produces and sells premium Mānuka honey (‘honey’ segment).
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports reviewed and used by the

The Group’s honey production operations have seasonal influences. Over winter, hives are downsized
and operating costs are primarily spent on maintaining hives and operations. Honey production occurs
from early spring to late summer with the majority of honey harvest occurring from January to March.
Operating costs increase during the honey production and harvest months. Beekeeping costs are deferred
