ArborGen Holdings Results for Year Ended 31 March 2024
ARBORGEN ANNOUNCES STRONG FY24 RESULT
30 May 2024: ArborGen Holdings Limited (NZX: ARB) (ArborGen or the Company) has today
announced its results for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 (FY24), reporting record sales
Revenue and an Adjusted US GAAP EBITDA result ahead of guidance.
FY24 Snapshot (in USD, comparatives to FY23):
• Seedling unit sales of 373 million, consistent with prior year. Advanced genetics seedlings made
up 44% of sales.
• Revenue $67.7m, up 21% on prior comparative period as a result of strong pricing and margins.
• 32% year-on-year increase in gross profit to $24.0m.
• Improvement in net loss after tax from $(2.5)m to $(0.2)m.
• Net debt (excluding capitalised leases) at $14.4m as at 31 March 2024, with borrowings reduced
to $20.0m.
• 39% increase in Adjusted US GAAP EBITDA
1
to $12.8m, ahead of guidance.
Strategic Momentum
The strong result highlights the value of the strategic reset undertaken three years ago, which saw
ArborGen divest its Australasian operations and expand in Brazil, while maintaining its strong
presence in its traditional US market. This has proven to be a winning formula, with Brazil
contributing 39% of ArborGen’s seedling sales revenue in FY24, up from 30% in the prior year.
Despite the challenging conditions in the US South, which have had ripple effects across the industry,
ArborGen’s US business also turned in a satisfactory result with solid pricing and margins delivering a
5% increase in revenue despite reduced volumes.
Cost inflation and economic headwinds have continued and were particularly pronounced in the US.
ArborGen has responded with a concerted effort to streamline the organisational structure, reduce
costs and enhance operating efficiencies. In line with this, the company has entered into a purchase
agreement to sell its in-vitro business for $4 million with settlement expected at the end of June
2024. The proceeds will be used to pay down debt and allow for investment into growth and
productivity opportunities. The company has also closed a nursery in the US. Together, these two
initiatives will free up cash for investment into higher return opportunities and realise around $1m in
savings per annum, positively impacting ArborGen’s bottom line.
FY24 Adjusted US GAAP EBITDA was a record at $12.8m (excluding $5.2m in one off, unusual and
other costs) and was boosted by increased sales revenue.
Noteworthy this year was the revitalisation and reinforcement of the leadership team, spearheaded
by Justin Birch who commenced as Group CEO in June 2023, followed by several other key leadership
appointments. A review of ArborGen’s business model and strategy has been undertaken, providing
a clear roadmap to achieve growth objectives.

Market Performance
ArborGen’s focus remains on its two regional markets, being the US South and Brazil, where it has
identified strong growth and commercial potential, and can build on its existing footprint and market
share.
CEO Justin Birch commented: “ArborGen remains a market leader in the US South, with a production
capacity of more than 350 million seedlings annually. Our strategic focus remains on bolstering the
adoption of higher value, advanced genetics seedlings throughout the region. These seedlings offer
customers the opportunity to achieve higher yields and returns from premium grade timber, meeting
the projected future market demand. Despite the flat market, we were able to increase our mix of
MCP sales and expand margins in FY24. The 2023 cone harvest was lower than expected due to the
freeze event in late 2022. This will result in a higher cost of seed to plant in FY25. Nonetheless, we
maintain sufficient inventory to meet projected customer demand. With an intensified sales focus
and energy, we aim to maintain our market share, continue the shift to higher value products and
grow our margins.
“In Brazil, we are leveraging our strong position in the pine and eucalyptus seedling markets to build
a sustainable, highly profitable business. Consistent with our growth aspirations, we have been
expanding our production capacity. This now sits at over 135 million seedlings per year, through our
own nurseries as well as contract growers. We are evaluating opportunities to further expand
production to meet growing demand in Brazil. In addition, we have identified promising
opportunities across the broader South America region. We are excited about the potential to
continue our growth momentum in Brazil and anticipate another strong performance in FY25.”
Outlook
Chair of ArborGen, David Knott, said: “Looking to FY25, we expect ongoing momentum in Brazil,
while the current conditions impacting US sales are expected to continue, resulting in flat year-on-
year sales volumes. Our team remains focused on transitioning customers to higher value products,
and we will continue to expand our production capacity to meet demand, particularly in Brazil.
“The increased investment into the expansion of our team, nursery improvements and other
strategic initiatives will be reflected in the FY25 year. This will be partially offset by savings from the
ongoing cost reduction programme including savings from the closure of the Taylor Nursery and the
sale of the in-vitro business.
“ArborGen is undeniably a market leader in advanced genetics seedlings and has a robust strategy in
place. Our momentum is building, and we are looking forward to another stronger year in FY25.”

Adjusted US GAAP EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes one-off and unusual items which may include
restructure costs, impairments and write downs on assets, acquisition/sale transaction costs and other one-off items. In
FY24, one-off and unusual costs were $5.2m comprising: a non-cash $1.8m provision for obsolete seed inventory, a non-
cash $1.0m VAT valuation allowance, and $1.9m CEO transition costs, the majority of which were non-cash equity grants,
(itemised as CEO transition costs, seed review and other in the Financial Statements), and other restructuring costs of $0.5
million. Management believes this measure provides useful information, as it is used internally to evaluate performance,
and it is also a measure that equity analysts focus on for comparative company performance purpose. See the Investor
Presentation for more information.

•Anticipate a return to more commercial production cycle
for pulp although long term trend suggests continued
decline in demand; recovery in saw timber projected by
CY2025
•ArborGen’s advanced genetics seedlings offer customers
the opportunity to achieve higher yields and returns from
premium grade timber (ie saw timber), meeting the

Market Overview
•The world’s largest producer and exporter of hardwood
pulp
•Rapid expansion in production capacity in response to
demand
•Decline in yields due to environmental and weather-
related factors - the market is seeking new clones with
higher yields that are also more resilient; this presents an
opportune landscape for ArborGen
•Our superior trees offer higher yields and higher wood
density than standard market clones, improved disease
and insect resistance, and good drought tolerance

OUR STRATEGY
•Leveraging our strong position in
the pine and eucalyptus seedling
markets
•Replicating our US strategy to
convert the market to products with
superior genetics - we are now one
of the largest commercial suppliers
in the country
