SCALES INCREASES FY25 EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Scales Corporation Limited (NZX:SCL) today advises an increase in its earnings guidance for FY25.
Directors advise that Underlying Net Profit after Tax Attributable to Shareholders is now expected to
be between $40 million and $45 million, an increase on the previous guidance range of between
$37 million and $42 million.

Managing Director Andy Borland notes “We are seeing a strong first half of the year for the Group.
Our Horticulture division, in particular, has seen very good growing conditions which have resulted in
apple export volumes in excess of expectations. Both the Global Proteins and Logistics divisions are
trading positively, the latter also benefitting from strong export volumes. Whilst some geopolitical
uncertainties remain, we are pleased to be able to advise an increase in earnings guidance for the
year. We can also advise that Mr Apple’s Whakatu Coolstore has been sold and leased back to the
business. The sale, for $24 million, will settle in August this year.”

The increased guidance range implies:
• An Underlying Net Profit after tax range of between $55.5 million and $61.5 million; and
• An Underlying EBITDA range of between $97 million and $104 million

Scales Annual Shareholders Meeting will be held at 3.30pm today. The following documents will be
released immediately prior to the meeting:
• Chair and Managing Director’s addresses
• Presentation
