COMMENTARY
Seeka is pleased to release its unaudited financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2025, delivering a record
profit after tax of $37.8 million. While all parts of the business reported improved results, New Zealand kiwifruit
volumes of 47.1 million class 1 trays were up on the previous corresponding period’s (pcp) 43.0 million trays, which
underpinned the improved results.
Improved growing conditions benefitted both Seeka’s New Zealand orcharding and post-harvest businesses, while
Seeka’s SeekaFresh business continued to build on its base. Seeka’s Australian business increased overall production
and earnings following a good growing season and the introduction of new produce lines.
EBITDA for the six months lifted to $83.5 million from $68.4 million in the pcp. Net profit before tax was up 32% to
$59.4 million, and net profit after tax of $37.8 million is more than double the pcp’s $17.1 million, noting that 2024
was impacted by a deferred tax adjustment from a legislated change to tax deductibility of non-residential buildings.
Seeka continues to focus on building balance sheet resilience by lowering debt, having reduced net bank debt by
$40.2 million to $130.6 million over the 12 months, with a further $64.8 million banked in July 2025 in the normal
course of business. While reducing debt, Seeka has continued to invest in its core business.
Seeka's financial performance benefitted from investments in post harvest automation with the company packing a
record 47.1 million trays of kiwifruit across its 11 New Zealand export sites.
Seeka has recently announced two significant automation upgrades for its Kerikeri and Huka Pak sites introducing
Reemoon technology to the New Zealand kiwifruit industry. These investments will enable Seeka to handle more
fruit through its existing facilities at lower unit costs.
All of Seeka's operating segments delivered higher earnings in the six-month period, and the business has continued
to maintain core business and invest in key technology enhancements.
Seeka chief executive Michael Franks says, “the operating results were pleasing noting they were the result of a
deliberate strategy enacted by the company. Seeka is well positioned for future growth with a strengthening balance
sheet and has automation projects underway to handle the anticipated growth in New Zealand's kiwifruit industry.”
DIVIDEND
Seeka's Board has declared a $0.15 per share dividend payable on 15 October 2025 to all shareholders on the register
on 18 September 2025. This will bring total dividends distributed in 2025 to $0.30 per share. The October dividend
will be fully imputed, and the dividend reinvestment plan will apply.

Chair and Chief Executive's report
Seeka's Board and management are delighted to present the Seeka Interim Report for
the six months ended 30 June 2025, with Seeka recording a $59.4 million net profit
before tax, compared to $45.0 million in the previous corresponding period (pcp).
Seeka’s financial results have benefitted from handling higher volumes along with
Seeka's strategies to lift performance to shareholders and stakeholders.
Net profit after tax of $37.8 million is well up on the pcp’s $17.1 million, which was
negatively impacted by a deferred tax adjustment from a legislated change to tax
deductibility of non-residential buildings
1
.
Seeka continued to reduce debt and build balance sheet resilience. Net bank debt of
$130.6 million is $40.2 million lower than at June 2024, with a leverage ratio of 1.57:1.
Seeka further lowered debt in July 2025 when it banked $64.8 million.

1. In interpreting Seeka’s results, note that legislation enacted in March 2024 removed the tax deductibility of depreciation on
non-residential buildings and had the effect of increasing Seeka’s deferred tax charge in the condensed statement of profit and
loss by $13.9m in the six months to June 2024 and by $12.5m for the full 2024 year.

All of Seeka’s business segments delivered higher earnings in the period
New Zealand kiwifruit volumes, the core of Seeka’s business, were up 10% with 47.1 million class 1
trays packed in New Zealand, compared to 43.0 million in 2024. Higher volumes were largely the
result of an excellent growing season and higher yields. This improved earnings for our orcharding
and post harvest business segments.
2025 volumes were within post harvest capacity, with Seeka closely managing capital expenditure
to focus on programmed capital maintenance while investing in automation where it delivers
efficiencies.
New packing solutions are being implemented for the 2026 season with machinery upgrades for
Kerikeri and Huka Pak. Incorporating Reemoon technology, Seeka’s automation investments are set
to deliver efficiencies by handling more fruit through the existing facilities at lower unit costs. Seeka
is also evaluating the trial of a fully automated “lights-out” coolstore that may deliver a step change
in returns on coolstore assets.
Inflationary pressures remain, including the major expenditure items of electricity and packaging.
Seeka is working to limit the impact of cost pressures on the business and its customers.
Seeka operates in a cyclical and seasonal industry, with higher earnings in the first six months of the
year.
Dividend
In the first half of 2025 Seeka paid $0.15 per share in dividends; $0.10 on 20 January 2025 and $0.05
on 15 April 2025.
A further dividend of $0.15 per share was announced on 19 August 2025, to be paid on 15 October
2025 with a record date of 18 September 2025. The dividend is fully imputed and the dividend
reinvestment plan will apply.

Orcharding
Seeka’s orcharding business provides professional orchard management, leasing and long-term
leasing (orchard development) services. Seeka’s service to orchard owners secures a significant
proportion of kiwifruit, Kiwiberry and avocado handled by Seeka’s post harvest business.
Seeka grew 19.1 million class 1 trays in 2025, up 12% on the pcp’s 17.1 million trays.
Importantly, our orcharding business continues to grow, with Seeka investing in long term leases.
This includes co-investments with iwi and Kānoa to develop some 70 hectares of new kiwifruit
orchards in the Raukokore region. The initial orchards produced their first crop in 2025, with volumes
forecast to increase as the new orchards progressively enter full production.
Seeka leads the industry in the development of Kiwiberry. This adds a profitable and valuable
category to New Zealand’s horticultural industry.
EBIT for the six months of $7.9 million compares favourably against the pcp’s $1.8 million, benefitting
from stronger yields and improved margins.

Post harvest
Seeka’s post harvest business delivers harvest, packing, coolstorage, inventory management and
distribution for its grower customers covering kiwifruit, avocado, persimmon and citrus. The business
holds the majority of Seeka’s assets with kiwifruit the core activity.
Total kiwifruit volumes of 47.1 million trays was up 10% on the pcp's 43.0 million trays. Volumes
remained within Seeka’s capacity.
Seeka adheres to a strict capital maintenance programme of core infrastructure assets, with a
focus on coolstore plant and electrical switchboard upgrades which reduce Seeka’s risk profile and
associated insurance costs.
To increase handling capacity from existing facilities and improve efficiencies, Seeka is investing
in automation for harvest 2026 with new Reemoon technology confirmed for Seeka Kerikeri and
Seeka’s Huka Pak facility in Tauranga.
EBIT of $68.6 million compares favourably against the pcp’s $60.0 million, benefitting from the lift in
volumes and ongoing focus on efficiency and margins.

SeekaFresh
Seeka’s retail services business “SeekaFresh” markets and distributes locally grown and imported
produce to retail customers in New Zealand and abroad.
Despite tough local market conditions, SeekaFresh continues to optimise grower returns by
accessing high-value markets for the core kiwifruit, avocado and Kiwiberry categories. SeekaFresh is
also building its tropical imports business.
Seeka purchased the assets of Olivado during the six months. This has reset SeekaFresh’s avocado
oil manufacturing and marketing business, and while a minor transaction, it delivers local capacity to
process SeekaFresh’s oil grade avocado in Northland.
EBIT of $1.0 million compares favourably with pcp’s $0.6 million. The business continues to build in a
competitive environment.

Financing
Seeka has focused on debt levels, leverage ratios and building financial resilience. Seeka sold its last
Northland orchard and has carefully managed capital expenditure. The Sharp Road accommodation facility
that was held for sale has been retained by the company.
Net bank debt at 30 June 2025 totalled $130.6 million, down $40.2 million on 30 June 2024. The resulting
leverage ratio at 1.57 : 1 is much improved from previous years. Seeka is focused on gradually reducing debt.
Sustainability
Good progress has been made on Seeka’s sustainability strategy and targets, with a focus on lowering
Seeka’s carbon footprint and impact on the environment. Seeka continues to retrofit coolstore systems with
natural refrigerants, and 2025 gas leaks were lower than at the same point in 2024. Energy audits have been
rolled out across major sites, and later in 2025 the next phase of solar will be installed at Seeka’s Peninsula
site.
Seeka donated kiwifruit to the NZ Food Network to help feed families and Seeka continues to contribute to
the rural communities we operate in.
People
Seeka people have continued to outperform. Our people are the source of our success and across our
business they remain dedicated to strategy and outcome delivery. The quality of our people is the true
measure of our business.
We continue to focus on safety and wellbeing, including a heightened safety awareness programme, and to
date there have been no serious harm injuries in the business in 2025.
Our people and capability practices have evolved, and in addition to approximately 650 permanent
employees and 1200 other seasonal staff, Seeka employs more than 1200 RSE employees, which requires
extensive planning, deployment and pastoral support.
Seeka continues to support the development of our people with development programmes, cadetships and
opportunities for career advancement. Seeka’s performance over the last six months has been achieved by
the efforts of our people, and we thank them for their effort and endurance.
Our people are key to the culture that we enjoy.

Forward focus and outlook
Seeka has rebuilt following the disruptions of Covid-19 followed by poor growing seasons. The
company successfully managed the challenges and built on last year’s improved performance to
once again deliver record results in the first half of 2025.
Seeka operates in a seasonal industry, with a significant portion of our earnings delivered in the first
six months of the year. Given the strong interim result, we expect full year profit before tax to be in
the range of $35.0 million to $39.0 million compared to 2024’s $29.7 million.
While it is too early to make a reliable prediction on the 2026 crop, 2025 winter chill in most regions
has been better than at the same point last year. This lifts the probability of a good kiwifruit season in
2026.
Your company and its people have worked hard. We thank our people, stakeholders and growers for
their diligence and support. And we thank you for your continuing interest and support.

CONDENSED INTERIM REPORT | JUNE 2025 | SEEKA LIMITED18
Reporting entity and statutory base
The condensed interim financial statements presented are those of
the condensed consolidated Seeka group. Seeka Limited is referred
to as Seeka Limited or the Company. The group is referred to as the
Group, Seeka, or Seeka Group.
Seeka Limited is a profit-orientated company registered in New
Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and a Financial Markets
Conduct (FMC) Reporting Entity for the purposes of the FMC Act
2013. Seeka Limited is listed and its ordinary shares are quoted on the
NZX main board equity security market (NZX Main Board).
Nature of operations
Seeka is a produce business operating in New Zealand and Australia.
In New Zealand the Group provides orchard management, orchard
leasing, post-harvest and retail services to New Zealand’s kiwifruit,
avocado, citrus, persimmon, and Kiwiberry industries. Seeka
manufactures and sells the Kiwi Crush™ and Kiwi Crushies product
range along with avocado oil. The Group also provides retail and
ripening services for imported tropical produce, and operates a
wholesale market.
In Australia, Seeka owns, leases and operates orchards and
associated post-harvest assets, making the Group one of the largest
producers and suppliers of Australian kiwifruit and nashi pears, a
major supplier of European pears, plus other fruits, including plums
and jujube dates.
Statement of compliance and basis of preparation
Group condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the
interim reporting period ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared
in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (NZ GAAP) and comply with the New Zealand International
Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other reporting
standards as applicable to profit-oriented entities. Specifically, Group
condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. This condensed
consolidated interim financial information does not include all of the
information required for the full annual audited financial statements
and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, which have been
prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
condensed financial statements are set out below.
The condensed financial statements were approved by the Board of
Directors (the Board) on 20 August 2025. The Directors do not have
the authority to amend the condensed financial statements after issue.
Summary of significant accounting policies
Other than detailed below, the accounting policies applied are
consistent with those of the annual audited financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2024, as described in those annual
financial statements.
Where a change in the presentational format of the financial
statements has been made during the period, comparative figures
have been restated accordingly.
Going concern assumption
The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis.
The Directors have considered the ability of the Group to operate as a
going concern for at least the next 12 months from the date of signing
these condensed financial statements.
The Directors have concluded that the Group will continue to operate
as a going concern and the condensed financial statements are
prepared on that basis.
Seasonal nature of Group operations
Seeka's core business is providing supply chain services to New
Zealand and Australia's horticulture industries. A high proportion of
Group revenue is generated and cost of sales incurred in the autumn
when produce is harvested and prepared for market. Approximately
70% to 90% of Group gross profit is recorded in the condensed
interim report. Seasonal fluctuations impact the timing of gross profit,
particularly the amount and quality of kiwifruit inventory remaining in
store at 30 June.
Goods and services tax (GST)
The condensed statement of profit and loss and condensed
statement of comprehensive income have been prepared so that all
components are stated exclusive of GST. All items in the condensed
statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the
exception of receivables and payables, which include GST invoiced.
Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the
entity
In May 2024, the External Reporting Board (XRB) introduced NZ
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (effective
for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027). This
standard replaces NZ IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.
The standard reclassifies items in the statement of profit and loss
into new categories, defined as profits from operating, investing,
and financing activities. The standard requires goodwill to be
shown separately in the statement of financial position, cash flows
from interest and dividends received to be shown as investing
activities and interest and dividends paid as financing activities in
the statement of cash flows, and the additional disclosure of any
Management Performance Measures (MPMs).
The Group expects this to impact the layout of its statement of
profit and loss, statement of cash flows, and related reconciliation of
net operating surplus after taxation with cash flows from operating
activities shown in the notes to the financial statements. The
statement of financial position is expected to be minimally impacted.
An additional note to the financial statements relating to specific
MPMs, where the Group will disclose the earnings (EBITDA), and
a reconciliation from earnings (EBITDA) to operating profits is
expected to be disclosed.
If the Group were to early-adopt this new standard, the operating
profits for the six months to June 2025 would be approximately
$67.3m. The operating cash flow would be $71.6m, compared to
$62.9m, with the balance being substantially recognised in financing
cash flows. There would be no change to net profit before tax or net
increase / decrease in cash or cash equivalents.
There are no other accounting standards that are not yet effective
that will have a material impact on the Group financial statements.
Basis of preparation
This section sets out the Group's accounting policies that apply to the interim financial statements for the interim reporting period
ended 30 June 2025. Accounting policies that are limited to a specific note are described in that note.

Performance
1. Segment information
The Group’s operating segments engage in business activities that earn revenues, incur expenses and are reported in a manner consistent with
the internal reports provided to the chief decision makers, being the Directors, who regularly evaluate the allocation of resources alongside
operational outcomes, such as EBITDA and EBIT, and are responsible for setting strategic direction.
The Group has five operating segments:
–Four New Zealand segments express the range of complementary services delivered to New Zealand’s produce industries and the retail sector.
–A single Australian operating segment covers the integrated supply chain service for the Group’s Australian-grown fruit.
Direct segment revenues and operating costs are allocated to each segment. Administration costs, overheads, grower service costs and other
income from the sale of assets recorded in the statement of profit or loss are allocated to Other segments. Transactions between segments are
conducted on normal commercial terms and at market rates and are eliminated on consolidation.
Segment information is prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
New Zealand segments
Orchard operations
The Group provides on-orchard management services to orchard owners who produce kiwifruit, avocado, citrus and Kiwiberry crops.
The Group produces kiwifruit, avocado, citrus and Kiwiberry from:
–Short term leased orchards (typically three-year rolling contracts) whereby the Group recovers costs and shares any profits with the orchard
owners.
–Long term leased land which the Group has developed into productive orchards, provides capital funding, owns all crops for the term of the
lease, and shares profit with the landowner after all costs are recovered from crop proceeds.
–Owned orchards whereby the Group incurs growing and harvest costs and receives all orchard income from crop sales.
Post harvest operations
The Group provides post harvest services to the kiwifruit, avocado, citrus and persimmon industries. This includes all crops from the Group’s
orchard management and lease operations, plus crops from independent orchard owners.
Retail service operations
The Group provides fruit marketing services in New Zealand and internationally, particularly in the Australian and Asian markets. This includes
fruit from the Group’s New Zealand based orchard and post-harvest operations. In New Zealand the Group also provides retail and ripening
services for imported fruit, and operates a wholesale market.
Retail service operations include the production and selling of Kiwi Crush™, Kiwi Crushies and avocado oil to the retail sector and hospitals, along
with post harvest services for Kiwiberry.
Other segments
This represents the Group’s aggregated administration, grower services and overhead sections recorded in the condensed statement of profit or
loss, and impairment and revaluations of other assets not attributed directly to any other segment. It also includes the gain on sale from assets
that had been classified as held for sale, and are not attributed directly to any other segment.
Australian operations
The Group grows, provides post harvest services, and retails all produce from orchards the Group owns or leases in Australia. The main products
are kiwifruit, nashi pears, European pears, jujubes and plums which are primarily sold in Australia.
This section focuses on the Group’s financial performance and details the contributions made from the individual operating segments.
EBITDA and EBIT
EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, impairments and revaluations. EBITDA is an indicator of profitability and
reflects operating cash flow generation.
EBIT is earnings before interest and tax; an indicator of profitability that excludes interest and income tax expenses.
Non-GAAP financial information does not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial
information presented by other entities. The Board considers EBITDA and EBIT as useful measures of financial performance for both investors
and management as they are indicators of the Group's operating profitability that remove the impact of tax and the interest expenses associated
with debt and leases (EBIT), along with depreciation, amortisation, impairment and revaluation expenses associated with the Group's large
investments in fixed and leased assets (EBITDA).

Turnover
The Board considers turnover a useful measure of the Group's operating activity as it represents the total transactional value of goods and
services provided to external customers during the year. As such turnover includes the value of fruit sales made on behalf of growers and suppliers
where the Group acts as the agent, and is considered the supplier by the purchasing party. This includes all produce sales both local and export.

Assets under construction are assets that are yet to be capitalised and are not depreciated. When the asset is ready for use it is transferred to the
appropriate asset class.
Land and buildings
Land and buildings are revalued to their estimated market value on at least a three-year rolling cycle (excluding assets under construction), plus
any subsequent additions at cost, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. In New Zealand valuations are undertaken by CBRE Group Inc.,
independent registered valuer.
In Australia, valuations were completed at 31 December 2024 by Opteon (Goulburn North East Vic) Pty Limited, independent valuers based in
Victoria, Australia.
As at 30 June 2025, the Directors believe there are no indicators that would suggest that the carrying value of land and buildings differs materially
from their fair value and as a consequence there is no need to revalue this class of assets at 30 June 2025.
Impairment
In the six months to 30 June 2025, impairments include $0.46m of poor performing pears cut out in Australia, and $0.59m of post harvest assets
following the removal of old equipment, to be replaced later in the year (Jun 2024 – Nil, Dec 2024 - $0.30m).
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
At 30 June 2025, the Group reviewed the carrying value of its land and buildings, considering current market conditions and input from its external
valuer. Management concluded there were no indicators of impairment or material differences from fair value.
In line with Group policy, independent valuations will be obtained at 31 December 2025.

At 30 June 2025 Seeka's market capitalisation was less than its net assets which is an indicator of impairment. The Group has performed an
impairment test to ensure that future cash flows of the Group support the fair value of the assets.
Goodwill balances are assessed annually for impairment. The impairment tests are performed using a value in use calculation model.
The recoverable amount is based on the net present value of the five-year after-tax cash flow projection (value-in-use), with a terminal value
beyond five years. Cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions
used for the analysis of the net present value of forecast gross margins are determined based on forecast crop volumes, past financial
performance and the Board's expectation of future market dynamics, plus the Group's current year forecasts and five year financial plans.
The Group's goodwill and asset value are supported by historical profitability, increasing volume forecasts, and forecast growth of the kiwifruit
industry and returns.
No impairment was noted as a result of the impairment test.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The impairment tests require judgement to determine the appropriate forecast cash flows and inputs into the calculations. The primary estimates
relate to the forecast EBITDA growth rates, discount rates, WACC and terminal growth rates.

How unobservables impact
estimated fair value
Land and buildings$ 280.05 mAn annual revaluation is used to
estimate fair value, which is performed
on at least one third of land and
buildings on a rolling 3-year cycle
by an independent valuer using
three different approaches; income
capitalisation approach, discounted
cash flow approach, and sales approach.
Of the three approaches, the income
capitalisation approach and discounted
cash flow approach are given the most
weighting due to the low quantity of
comparative sales. See accounting
