Comvita Delivers First-Half Priorities as Turnaround Continues


Comvita Limited (NZX: CVT) today announces its results for the six months ended 31 December 2025. The period

reflects delivery against first-half priorities, a return to profitability, positive operating cash flow and improved

operating performance, with the Company’s turnaround continuing.


Financial Highlights (1H26 vs 1H25)

• Revenue: $118.0m, up 18.3%

• Operating expenses: $49.7m, down 13.6%

• Normalised EBIT

: $10.0m, up $10.7m

• NPAT: $4.6m, up $11.1m

• Operating cash flow

: $20.8m, up $10.9m

• Free cash flow

1

: $16.4m, up $14.4m

• Net debt

1

: $48.7m, reduced $32.9m

• Inventory: $68.3m, reduced $52.5m


Operational Progress

• New sales strategies implemented across SEA, China and the USA.

• Inventory normalising through disciplined procurement.

• Premium positioning maintained with focused innovation and new product delivery.

• Club-retail partnership outperforming sell-through expectations.

• Channel and customer mix continuing to diversify.

• Improved accountability, risk management and discipline across the global organisation.


Comvita Chair, Bridget Coates, said the first half reflected clear progress in stabilising the business while

recognising the work still ahead.


“We delivered against our first-half priorities, returning to profitability, generating positive operating cash flow,

and continuing to reduce inventory and net debt.”


“Operational discipline is strengthening, leadership capability is being rebuilt, and the Company is executing with

consistency. These are important foundations, but the turnaround is not yet complete.”


Ms Coates said recapitalisation remains the Board’s highest priority. “The process is progressing to plan, with the

Board focused on its core objectives – certainty, equitable participation for all eligible shareholders and minimising

dilution.”


“The Board has confirmed credible expressions of interest from both existing and prospective investors to support

and potentially underwrite the capital raise, including interest from an offshore strategic investor. The Board is

carefully assessing these options alongside continued constructive engagement with our lenders regarding

extension of banking facilities from April 2026 subject to the recapitalisation.”

Normalised EBIT, Free cashflow and Net Debt are Non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to Comvita FY26 Interim Results

Presentation for disclosure of normalisations. We monitor these non-GAAP measures as key performance indicators, in

assessing the performance of the core operations of our business.





She confirmed that full-year performance remains in line with normalised EBIT guidance of approximately $14.3

million (normalised EBIT pre IFRS 16 $13.5M), subject to trading execution and market conditions.


Chief Executive Officer, Karl Gradon, said the Company is operating with greater discipline and execution clarity.

“We are maintaining a rigorous focus on operating fundamentals - cost control, inventory management and

disciplined capital allocation.”


“At the same time, we are strengthening the drivers of long-term value - brand and innovation differentiation,

digital and direct-to-consumer capability, and major retail and strategic partnerships. The result of this work is

evident in our first-half performance.”


Mr Gradon said the Company is executing the turnaround while positioning for the next phase of category

development.


“As we continue to stabilise and strengthen the business, the Mānuka honey category continues to evolve – and

while this does present challenges, the long-term opportunity remains significant. Capturing that opportunity

requires innovation, diversification and clear differentiation.


“The work underway today is building strong foundations - not only to support sustainable growth, but to position

Comvita to lead this next phase of category development.


“I would like to acknowledge the strength of our leadership team and the dedication of all our global team, whose

focus and commitment have been central to the progress achieved over the past six months.”


Financial Performance

Revenue increased to $118.0 million, driven primarily by strong volume and sell-through in the US club-retail

wholesale channel, improving overhead recoveries and supporting profitability. This offset sales challenges in the

US club-retail digital channel and ANZ market, with other markets broadly stable overall.


Operating expenses reduced 13.6% to $49.7 million, reflecting continued cost discipline and benefits from FY25

cost-out initiatives. Transaction-related costs of $1.4 million were included in the first-half result. Normalised EBIT

improved to $10.0 million, reflecting improved operating leverage and portfolio diversification. NPAT was $4.6

million, representing a material improvement year-on-year.


Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Balance sheet strength improved during the period, supported by disciplined working capital management and

improved operating performance.


Operating cash flow of $20.8 million reflected improved earnings quality and cash conversion. Inventory

normalisation generated $22.5 million of cash inflow and materially improved the cash conversion cycle. Net debt

reduced by $13.7 million to $48.7 million (June 2025 vs. December 2025), ahead of expectations. Further working

capital improvements are not expected to the same level in the second half.


Banking Facilities

Constructive discussions continue with the Company’s lending syndicate regarding the extension of banking

facilities beyond April 2026, subject to completion of the recapitalisation plan. The Board thanks its banking

partners for their continued support.





Recapitalisation Process Update

The recapitalisation process is progressing to plan, with the Board focused on achieving its core objectives,

including ensuring certainty, participation for all eligible shareholders and minimising shareholder dilution.


The Board has confirmed credible expressions of interest from both existing and prospective investors to support

and potentially underwrite the capital raise. Expressions of interest have been at pricing levels above the current

market price.

2



This includes interest from an offshore strategic investor in the food and beverage sector to underwrite a capital

raising at a share price of $0.80 per share and a level materially above the minimum $25 million required to

position the company appropriately, providing the Company with increased financial flexibility.


If that option were progressed, the ultimate shareholding of the strategic investor would be determined by

participation of existing shareholders in the capital raise and may require shareholder approval and Overseas

Investment Office consent.


The Board is carefully assessing these options alongside continued constructive engagement with the Company’s

lenders regarding the potential extension of banking facilities.


The Board will keep shareholders informed in line with continuous disclosure obligations. Current timing for the

recapitalisation is aligned with the April 2026 banking facility expiry.


Outlook

Full-year guidance remains unchanged, with normalised EBIT expected to be approximately $14.3 million

(normalised EBIT pre IFRS 16 $13.5M) and remains subject to trading execution and market conditions.


While the first half delivered a strong result, the Company remains mindful of the key value drivers and challenges

still to come which will influence the full-year outcome. These factors are being closely monitored and actively

managed, including:

• Headwinds from ANZ and FX. Continued solid performance across other markets is currently offsetting

these pressures.

• Key commercial partner in North America - sell-through in line with forecasts.

• Manuka honey season – currently in line with expectations.

• Lunar New Year – managing for maximum profitability (not just revenue) with results not yet known.


Second-half performance is expected to reflect normal seasonal patterns.

COMVITA.CO.NZ

Interim Financial Statements 2026

Comvita Limited (the “Company”) is a Company domiciled
in New Zealand, and registered under the Companies

Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange

(“NZX”). The Company is an issuer in terms of the Financial

Reporting Act 2013 and Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013. The interim financial statements of the Group for

the six months ended 31 December 2025 comprise the

Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the

“Group”) and the Group’s interest in equity accounted

investees. The principal activity of the Group is apiary

and forest ownership and management; and research,

manufacturing and distributing of Mānuka honey, bee

products and olive leaf products.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

The Company is a FMC reporting entity for the purposes

of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and under part 7 of

the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. These financial

statements comply with these Acts and have been

prepared in accordance with the New Zealand Equivalents

to International Financial Reporting Standards and

International Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate

for profit-oriented entities.

The interim financial statements were approved by the

Board of Directors on 20 February 2026.

Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the

historical cost basis except for financial instruments

designated as fair value through other comprehensive

income and biological assets which are measured at fair

value. Fair values have been determined for measurement

and/or disclosure purposes on the same basis as those

applied by the Group in the financial statements as at

and for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand

dollars ($), which is the Company’s functional currency.

Amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand.

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of interim financial statements in

accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

requires management to make judgements, estimates

and assumptions that affect the application of accounting

policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,

income and expenses. Actual results may differ from

these estimates.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the

significant judgements made by management in applying

the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of

estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to

the financial statements as at and for the year ended

30 June 2025.

GOING CONCERN

It is the conclusion of the Directors that the Group is

a going concern and will continue in operation for the

foreseeable future and the financial statements have been

prepared on that basis.

The Group recognised a profit of $4.6m for the six

months ended 31 December 2025. Inventory has decreased

by $20.7m from $89.0m at 30 June 2025 to $68.3m

at 31 December 2025.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group had drawn debt

facilities of $59.1m of a total group facility of $89m

(30 June 2025: $71.6m of a total group facility of $94m).

An amendment and waiver letter in respect of the

syndicated facility agreement with lending partners was

signed on 11 December 2025 which included the extension

of the maturities of the Company’s two expiring banking

facilities through to 30 April 2026, and the granting of

further covenant waivers for the 31 March 2026 testing

date. The Company also agreed to a temporary covenant

related to minimum EBIT for the six months ending 31

December 2025 which has been met, along with staged

facility reductions through to the end of March, which

are achievable.

The Directors have carefully considered the ability of the

Group to meet its liabilities as they fall due and continue

to operate as a going concern for at least the next 12 months

from the date the financial statements are authorised

for issue. In reaching their conclusion, the Directors have

considered the following factors:

• Current assets exceed current liabilities by $55.3m

as at 31 December 2025;

• Cash flow forecasts for the 12 months following the

approval of these financial statements have been

prepared and indicate sufficient cash flows to meet

obligations as they fall due;

• The Group has returned to profitability for the six months

ended 31 December 2025 and the strategic forecast is for

that to continue, albeit subject to execution risk;

• The Directors have made due enquiry of Management

into the appropriateness of the assumptions underlying

the strategic forecast; and

• The Comvita Board and Management team are

progressing the Company's recapitalisation pathway.

This workstream is on track to meet its milestones.

Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared

on a going concern basis. However, the above events and

conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties

that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to

continue as a going concern in the event the capital raise

is not successful and alternate funding cannot be secured.

If these are not achieved, the Group may be unable to

realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal

course of business. The financial statements do not include

any adjustments that may be required should the Group

be unable to continue as a going concern.

Figures in the tables reflect information regularly reported to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on those key segments.

Segment results that are reported to the CEO include costs directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can

be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly head office expenses.

Segment information is presented in the financial statements in respect of the Group’s contribution segments which

are the primary basis of decision making. The contribution segment reporting format reflects the Group’s management

and internal reporting structure.

Performance is measured based on contribution, which is a measure of profitability that the segment contributes to

the Group. Contribution is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is most relevant

in evaluating the results of certain segments. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arms-length basis.

05. Tax
The Group has recorded a profit before tax of $4.3m for the half year ended 31 December 2025, with a corresponding tax

benefit of $0.3m. The tax benefit primarily arises from the re-recognition of New Zealand deferred tax assets that were

derecognised in FY25.

Based on the half-year performance and current profit forecasts, management has reassessed the recoverability

of deferred tax assets relating to New Zealand tax losses carried forward and determined that partial re-recognition

of $2.3m is appropriate at 31 December 2025, as it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the

New Zealand tax jurisdiction to utilise the tax losses carried forward.

of our business.

Recapitalisation Process Advancing
Recapitalisation process remains the Board’s most critical priority to deliver by April 2026

•Banking Facilities

•Constructive engagement ongoing with lending syndicate regarding extension beyond April 2026, subject to

recapitalisation.

•Board acknowledges continued support of banking partners.

•Recapitalisation Process

•Progressing to plan. Board focused on core objectives: certainty,equitable shareholder participationandminimising

dilution.

•Credible expressions of interest received fromexisting and new investorsto support and potentially underwrite the raise.

•Interest received atpricing above current market level.

•Includes potential participation from anoffshore strategic food and beverage investor to underwrite a capital raising at a

share price of $0.80 per shareand a level materially above the ~$25M minimum. Final strategic investor shareholding

would be dependent onexisting shareholder participation and may requireshareholder and OIO approval.

•Options under active assessment alongside continued lender engagement.
