T&G Global Annual Report 20252
Welcome to our Annual Report.
This report covers the activities of T&G Global
Limited and our subsidiaries (together T&G) for
the 2025 financial year, from 1 January 2025 to
31 December 2025.
Our Annual Report provides our investors and
stakeholders with an overview of performance
and progress with our business strategy for
the year. It also presents an overview of our
Kaitiakitanga sustainability framework and is
prepared with reference to the Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI) Standards.
In October 2025, the New Zealand Government
announced changes to Aotearoa New Zealand’s
climate reporting regime. As a result, T&G will no
longer be a Climate Reporting Entity (CRE) once the
Financial Markets Conduct Amendment Bill comes
into effect in 2026. With T&G’s climate reporting
obligations due to change, T&G is adopting the
Financial Markets Authority’s interim relief under its
‘no action’ approach and also the NZX Regulation
Limited’s class waiver under the New Zealand Stock
Exchange Listing Rules. This means T&G is not
publishing a 2025 Climate-related Disclosure report.
T&G remains firmly committed to building a business
that thrives in a changing climate while reducing
emissions across our value chain. Within our
Kaitiakitanga sustainability framework, climate action
is a key focus area and while we will no longer publish
a Climate-related Disclosure report, our climate
commitments, related governance and management,
and our progress, will be shared in the Kaitiakitanga
section of our Annual Report.
For simplicity, throughout our Annual Report we
reference our consumer brands. When we do this,
it is in reference to:
■ “ENVY™” and “ENVY™ apples” mean ENVY™
branded apples and the variety Scilate
■ “JOLI™” and “JOLI™ apples” mean JOLI™ branded
apples and the variety PREMA019
■ “JAZZ™” and “JAZZ™ apples” mean JAZZ™ branded
apples and the variety Scifresh.

Tēnā koutou
Last year, we spoke of the momentum being gained in
our business as we put some challenging years behind
us. We expressed confidence in improved returns,
knowing we had put in the work to build resilience
into our balance sheet, invest in critical infrastructure,
lift efficiency and improve performance across our
operations. We also spoke of the integrated end-to-end
Apples business we have built, from orchard to market,
which is driving our T&G Apples strategy and growth.
The improved results we forecast have been delivered.
For the year ending 31 December 2025, the Group
recorded total revenue of $1.6 billion compared to
$1.4 billion in the prior year, with an operating profit
of $46.9 million compared to $12.7 million in 2024.
Apples revenue increased by 22% to $1.0 billion,
with an operating profit of $74.7 million compared
to $37.8 million in 2024. Apples now represents
67% of our total revenues, compared to 63% last
year, and we are confident of continued growth in
its contribution to our overall performance.

Chair and CEO review continued
Apples delivered excellent returns for growers
this season and prospects are positive. The global
premium apple market is large and continuing to grow,
particularly in emerging Asian markets. We’re well set
up for this, with our dedicated teams on the ground
building consumer demand and loyalty. Confidence
among licensed growers is strong, with the premium
apple category and our world-class integrated Apples
system providing an excellent long-term investment for
them given our track record in delivering high orchard
gate returns.
Trading conditions improved slightly for T&G
Fresh, although consumer demand was affected
by cost-of-living pressures. Despite this, the
business delivered strong operational improvements.
The business benefited from recent investments,
including the acquisition of Hinton’s stone fruit
business and the expansion of blueberries in
Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. T&G Fresh’s
streamlined growing footprint, efficiencies across
our supply chain and investments in new digital
tools all contributed to performance.
Revenue in T&G Fresh was $461.0 million compared
with $455.3 million in 2024, with an operating profit
of $19.6 million compared to $3.6 million in the
prior year.
Due to economic conditions reducing external growers’
planting activities, VentureFruit revenue decreased
8% to $9.0 million, compared to $9.8 million in
2024. It delivered an operating loss of $2.4 million,
compared to a profit of $1.6 million last year.
Strong momentum with our Apples strategy
As you will read in the Apples business commentary,
our strategy is delivering, reflecting comprehensive
and sustained investment to capitalise on the global
growth opportunity for premium, branded fruit.
Between 2024 and 2035, the global premium apple
category is expected to expand from $23.5 billion
to $52.7 billion – a Compound Annual Growth
Rate (CAGR) of 7.6% – with our premium apples
portfolio forecast to grow beyond this, at 8.4%
1
.
This is driven by rising urban growth and
disposable incomes, health-conscious lifestyles,
and demand for consistent quality fruit, with advances
in growing and post-harvest technology supporting
this growth. Our results this year confirm that these
opportunities are real and we have both the strategy
and the structure in place to capitalise on them.
Securing sustainable growth
Across our Apples supply chain, we continue to
strengthen each link so we are well placed to increase
sales and returns.
In July, we partnered with Roc Partners to expand our
Aotearoa New Zealand supply of premium export apples
through the development of two orchards planting
40 hectares of apples including JOLI™ and ENVY™
apples. This is an efficient use of capital, with an entity
managed by Roc Partners owning and funding the
development, while we lease the orchards and carry
out the re-development work.
“Our strategy is
delivering, reflecting
comprehensive and
sustained investment to
capitalise on the global
growth opportunity for
premium, branded fruit.”
We have allocated capex for investment next year
at both our Hawke’s Bay and Nelson post-harvest
facilities. In Hawke’s Bay, we will continue to invest in
our state-of-the-art facility and supply chain as apple
volumes increase. Likewise, with significant new ENVY™
and JOLI™ apple plantings coming on stream in the
Tasman District and Canterbury over the coming years,
we are expanding our Nelson site’s footprint to handle
increased fruit volumes and drive further efficiencies
across our supply chain.
We also restructured shareholding arrangements
in North America, increasing our shareholding in the
critical Asia export-focused business, Delica North
America, and reducing our holding in Oppenheimer,
the diversified North American produce company.

T&G Global Annual Report 202510
Chair and CEO review continued
With our new JOLI™ apple becoming commercially
available over the next few years, we are focused
on maximising its value. Very favourable consumer
testing confirms the appeal of JOLI™ apples, with
consumers rating them as “near perfect” and
indicating a willingness to pay a premium. With a
clearly differentiated brand positioning to meet the
unmet consumer need of family sharing, JOLI™
apples are well placed to capture consumers’
attention in high-value markets.
Berries opportunity
In berries, we are in an increasingly strong market
position thanks to investments in the development
of premium world-class berry genetics. Berries are
a high-growth category in our key global markets,
and this year saw considerable momentum in
securing our place.
Our investment to double our Queensland blueberry
farm to 40 hectares is delivering results, with
production reaching 500 tonnes this year and forecast
to increase to 1,000 tonnes in 2026. This investment
has positioned us well to supply premium quality
blueberries to consumers in Australia and Asia.
Closer to home, we are expanding production of our high-
yielding jumbo blueberries, alongside a new premium
strawberry variety, through our joint venture with Ngāpuhi
and Far North Holdings-owned Kaikohe Berryfruit
Limited Partnership in Te Tai Tokerau Northland.
We have accelerated our entry into the American
market by establishing two strategic relationships
which will expand access to VentureFruit’s berry
genetics in the Pacific Northwest and South America
from 2026 onwards. We’ve also identified berries for
commercialisation in the United Kingdom and Poland.
More operational efficiencies
The year also saw good progress in operational
efficiencies, enabling more of our financial resources
to be applied to achieving growth.
We looked carefully at our growing and supply chain
assets and considered how much they will contribute
to our future performance. This resulted in the
rationalisation of some T&G Fresh assets, such as the
sale of our Harrisville tomato glasshouse. Additionally,
in 2026 we plan to sell four small orchards in Northland
and our Chilean blueberry farm.
We also reviewed our North Island market and
coolstore locations, consolidating and upgrading
sites in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Tairāwhiti Gisborne
and Hawke’s Bay to better support our T&G Fresh
operations and supply chain. This provides us with a
lower cost-to-serve and improved revenues.
Bank support
With strong support from our banks, we have
successfully secured financing arrangements for
T&G’s ongoing business operations through to 2028.
This is a prudent step given the confirmation this year
that our majority shareholder, BayWa Global Produce
GmbH, intends to liquidate its shareholding within the
next two years. The Board and Executive team have
a strong working relationship with BayWa, which will
ensure their divestment process is well managed.
Outlook
We are really pleased with the result of the 2025 year.
It has been achieved through a well-considered and
executed strategy which is delivering resoundingly on
expectations, as the premium apple sector globally
enters a strong growth phase which plays to our
strengths. Importantly, our performance lift comes not
as a result of one-time events or unusually favourable
conditions. Instead, our results are due to strong
execution across the Group, consistent attention to
costs and efficiencies, and prior investments in our
growth strategy.
We expect more of the same in the coming year.
We anticipate that momentum from 2025 will
accelerate in 2026 and the benefits from investments in
our strategic plan will fuel significant growth. This will
benefit our business, growers, suppliers, customers,
consumers and, most importantly, our shareholders.

Apples continued
Uplift in Apples’ performance
This year, Apples contributed 67% of our total revenue,
up from 63% last year. Apples’ revenue increased
by 22% to $1.0 billion, and its operating profit was
$74.7 million compared to $37.8 million in 2024.
This performance confirms the strength of our growth
strategy and the investment made in building an
integrated end-to-end Apples business, from superior
varieties and modern high-performing growing systems,
right through to creating market demand. This world-
class system, combined with our capabilities, culture
and cost-management structures, enables us to adapt
well to challenges and generate long-term value for
shareholders and growers.
Our strategy is built to capture market share in the
fastest-growing part of the global apple category, the
premium segment, with T&G’s growth set to exceed
the market. Between 2024-2035, the global CAGR of
the mainstream apple category is expected to grow
at 4.4%, with the premium segment growing at 7.6%.
In contrast, T&G’s premium apples portfolio is expected
to grow at 8.4%
1
. The category’s growth is being driven
by rising disposable incomes and urbanisation, health-
conscious lifestyles, demand for consistent quality and
branded fruit, and advances in orchard and post-harvest
technologies.
The size of this growth opportunity informs our supply
footprint, ensuring we have the right level of high-quality
premium apples at the right time to meet consumer
demand. In 2025, export volumes from Aotearoa
New Zealand increased 29% to 4.55 million TCEs,
which equates to 82,000 tonnes of apples. This volume
was complemented by 9.2 million TCEs sourced from
our global growing network, with 60% of this grown in
the United States.
Looking out to 2035, global supply of our premium
apple brands will continue to increase to more than
26 million TCEs.

Strong grower returns
Our ability to grow markets and consumer demand,
and secure premium pricing while scaling volumes,
is an important strength of our Apples strategy.
This year’s positive performance enabled us to
deliver total returns of $172 million to our Aotearoa
New Zealand growers, an uplift of $34 million, or
25%, on last season. ENVY™ apple returns improved
by $0.70 per average TCE, while JAZZ™ apple returns
rose by $4.24 per average TCE.
For our ENVY™ growers, this translates to an average
Orchard Gate Return (OGR – revenue before growing
costs and after post-harvest costs) of $67,122 per
hectare, compared to $67,529 in 2024. Our top 20
growers averaged an OGR this season of $108,381 per
hectare compared to $117,543 in 2024. OGR in 2025
was impacted by some internal defects experienced
across a portion of our grower base.
By the same measure, JAZZ™ growers in Aotearoa
New Zealand achieved an OGR of $70,856 per hectare
compared to $37,345 per hectare in 2024. And our top
10 growers averaged an OGR of $98,814 per hectare
compared to $56,510 in 2024.
Commercial varieties also delivered strong returns.
Individual variety performance was led by Pacific Rose™,
with returns up 29% and Fuji up 27% on 2024. Within
the commercial varieties portfolio, we delivered an
average 5% lift in grower returns this year.
Across all brands and varieties, the team worked at
pace to move fruit into market, ensuring we maximised
pricing and returns.
Speed of execution also shaped our response when
a portion of the Aotearoa New Zealand crop, including
one of our brands, experienced some internal defects.
We moved quickly to isolate impacted fruit, understand
potential causation factors and ensure we continued to
deliver a great consumer eating experience. This year’s
performance points to the strength of our brands and
our integrated system in effectively managing and
minimising the effects of this issue.
Growing supply as we grow demand
With the global premium apple segment expected
to expand from $23.5 billion to $52.7 billion by 2035
1
,
we are working closely with growers to ensure supply
keeps pace.
One example this year is our collaboration with
Roc Partners. In August, our team began the re-
development of two Hawke’s Bay orchards, which have
since been completed, planting 40 hectares of JOLI™
and ENVY™ apples. Under the arrangement, a vehicle
managed by Roc Partners owns the land and funds
the development, while T&G is carrying out the re-
development and leasing the orchards.
The development covers approximately 10 hectares
of ENVY™ apples and approximately 30 hectares of
JOLI™. The orchards will be automation-ready, with 2D
horizontal trellis growing systems and drip feed sensor
irrigation. This system is designed to conserve natural
resources, support sustainable, high-quality apple
production, and ensure our orchards are resilient for
the future.

JOLI™ apples – set up for success
Over the next two years, the first of our premium JOLI™
apples will be harvested and sold in Asia. With three
premium brands in our portfolio, we are able to target
and grow distinct consumer segments and generate
strong returns at scale, year-round, with JOLI™ apples
expanding our reach into a new consumption occasion.
As an apple brand, JOLI™ taps into a valuable and
unmet market opportunity – the family sharing
occasion. With superior visual appeal, outstanding
taste, differentiated brand positioning and exclusive
availability, JOLI™ apples are set to transform
sharing into a new driver of category growth.
The brand, its positioning and its ability to command
premium pricing has been extensively tested with
consumers in multiple key markets. Across all critical
brand health metrics, the results were outstanding,
highlighting the brand’s relevance and appeal.
JOLI™ apples provide an exceptional eating experience.
It’s a large, deep red, crisp apple, which has consistently
tested favourably with consumers. Many described
JOLI™ as “very close” to their ideal apple experience.
Our consumer insights, together with JOLI™ apples’
strong orcharding attributes and our proven ability to
create global consumer demand, sets up the brand
well to deliver superior grower returns per hectare.
This is driving strong interest in right-to-grow licenses.
By the end of 2025, 273 hectares has been licensed
in Aotearoa New Zealand and as further root stock
becomes available, we aim to increase this to
approximately 1,500 hectares globally by 2035.

Winning in key global markets
Winning in key global markets is crucial to achieving
our vision to be the world’s leading premium fresh
produce company. The steps to achievement include
unlocking markets selected for premium and potential,
getting close to customers with capability in-market,
and having the most efficient end-to-end supply chain.
Our Apples strategy is all about doing each one
of these steps exceptionally well. Whether it is
quality control on-orchard or in the packhouse, or
an in-store retail promotion, our team is committed
to achieving excellence.
A brief review of our markets shows this commitment
in action. While it has been a year of uncertainties,
given geopolitical and economic dynamics, we focused
firmly on maximising value and meeting customer and
consumer demand. This saw us respond quickly to
increased tariffs by further tightening internal levers
which are in our control and re-routing some volume
to other markets.
Asia
We achieved positive results in Asia, supported by
good market demand in China, Singapore and Thailand.
While the Thai market has been challenging and
modern retail trade subdued, ENVY™ apples continued
to grow, increasing sales by 39% with one of the largest
Thai retail chains. In Viet Nam, sales volumes were
constrained by a slower economy.
We built on an eight-year relationship with partners and
distributors in Taiwan, opening a dedicated local office
to secure continued growth for our premium ENVY™
apple brand.
Taiwan, with a population of more than 23 million
and ranking as the 22nd largest global economy, is a
high-potential, affluent market with strong demand for
premium products.
Our local office will support further growth opportunities
by enabling us to deepen our strong customer
relationships, increase the availability and ranging of our
premium apple brands, respond to market trends and
insights, and maintain high-quality standards.
Taiwan is our sixth office in Asia, joining existing offices
in China, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam and Japan.
In Japan, sales volumes of JAZZ™ apples grew 32%,
with 134,000 TCEs of Aotearoa New Zealand-grown
fruit sold in 2025. Our focus is on expanding the
brand’s reach with key retailers. Stronger partnerships,
supported by effective execution plans, are driving
increased visibility, consumer engagement and
performance in this key market.
In a further Asia development, we established a
Centre of Excellence across markets this year. The
dedicated team works closely with local market teams
to strengthen and rapidly scale sales and marketing
execution. It shares knowledge and a best practice
library of toolkits, templates and guidelines across our
Asia markets to increase opportunities for ENVY™,
JAZZ™, and over time, JOLI™ apples. This supports
our demand creation strategy by increasing ranging
across channels and customers, delivering excellent
in-store execution every day, and connecting with more
consumers. See the case study on page 25.
ENVY™ ranks among the top three apple brands across
five of our core Asian markets, with it being the leading
apple brand in Viet Nam, number two in Thailand and
number three in China. JAZZ™ is among the top three
most recognisable apple brands in key Asian markets,
including Japan, China and Thailand.
Asia also performed well for our commercial
varieties, accounting for 74% of sales, with the balance
of exports going to the United Kingdom and Europe.
Consistent quality across all varieties underpinned
commercial varieties’ sales performance, pricing and
grower returns.

North America
In North America, we have seen strong results, despite
the entire market being flat with high volumes of
commodity apples to sell. The value of our premium
ENVY™ apple brand and its reputation enabled us to
outperform the total fresh apple category in the United
States, in both frequency and buying rates, as illustrated
in the infographic below.
With an ambitious North American growth strategy,
we continue to build the scale and quality of our
programme to create demand ahead of supply.
This sees us deepening our consumer and customer
insights and the quality of our 365-supply and
distribution network.
In 2024, North American volumes were 5.5 million
TCEs, a 20% increase on the prior year’s 4.6 million
TCEs. More recently, the 2025 North American
growing season delivered near-perfect conditions,
with 5.4 million TCEs of exceptional fruit harvested in
October and November. It was the first commercial
harvest of New York State-grown ENVY™, with the
apples expanding the brand’s regional reach with
locally-grown fruit for the East Coast market. Looking
out to 2035, we aim to increase North American-grown
volumes to 9 million TCEs.

United Kingdom
Our JAZZ™ apple brand continues to dominate the
United Kingdom market, celebrating 20 years of
success in 2025. It is one of only three apple brands
in the United Kingdom that saw volume growth in
October 2025.
As illustrated to the right, British consumers are
purchasing JAZZ™ apples at an increased frequency,
notably higher than last year, with the average price
also increasing.
These results demonstrate both sustained demand and
a willingness among consumers to pay a premium for
the quality and consistency of JAZZ™ apples.
To meet increasing consumer demand in the market,
JAZZ™ apples are sourced from 27 growers across five
counties, with over one million trees planted across the
United Kingdom. It has earned the ‘UK’s Tastiest Apple’

Outlook
We have a significant opportunity ahead to
grow our global position. Although overall apple
consumption is growing modestly, the premium
segment is expanding rapidly, with consumers
willing to pay more for apples that consistently
deliver an exceptional taste and experience.
Our global integrated Apples business has been
built to capitalise on this opportunity, creating
demand at the right time to match supply.
In 2026, and in line with strategy, our Aotearoa
New Zealand crop of premium branded fruit
is forecast to increase by 25%. While spring
conditions were mixed in some areas, overall,
our orchards and those of our suppliers are well
prepared, with great quality fruit developing.
Over the coming years, volumes will continue to
increase, and this past season’s performance has
demonstrated that we are well positioned to drive
value growth through premium margins by moving
at pace to get fruit into markets and sold.
With strong momentum behind us, our Apples
business will continue to see significant
performance upside.

Winning in key global markets is a core pillar of our
strategy. By leveraging the capabilities, insights and
execution playbooks of our Centre of Excellence, this
year our Thailand office delivered solid results, with
ENVY™ apples delivering high-single-digit growth,
materially outperforming a category that declined by
approximately 20%.
This performance was achieved despite significant
macroeconomic pressure and softer consumer
demand across the broader apple category. ENVY™
apples continued to strengthen their position as a
leading premium brand, supported by disciplined
execution and strong retail partnerships.
A key driver of success was the establishment
of a joint business planning partnership with one
of Thailand’s largest national retailers, providing
nationwide coverage across supermarkets and
hypermarkets. Through this collaboration, the teams
aligned on clear “perfect store” standards, expanded
in-store ranging, and executed impactful point-of-

to drive higher consumer engagement.

T&G Fresh lifts returns
T&G Fresh’s revenue was $461.0 million compared to
$455.3 million in 2024, while its operating profit was
$19.6 million compared to $3.6 million in 2024.
This significantly improved result was achieved despite
difficult trading conditions, with soft consumer demand
in a slow economy. Unfavourable weather also impacted
supply of some produce through our markets, while
the wet and cold spring slowed the start of our stone
fruit season.
In response, the T&G Fresh team intensified their efforts
to drive sales while tightly managing costs through
focusing on controls, measurement and management.
Their focus on working as one team to achieve good
outcomes for our growers as well as our customers
paid off with improved performance. This focus on
managing costs, driving efficiencies across the supply
chain and reviewing how we can achieve the best
returns will continue into the new financial year.
Our result includes domestic and export returns
from our first stone fruit harvest of 1.4 million tonnes,
following the 2024 acquisition of Hinton’s stone fruit
business in Central Otago and the leasing of their 140+
hectare orchards and packhouse. This investment
supports our strategy of building our strengths in key
categories, and we have already invested in an additional
14 hectares of plantings to expand production.
We also saw positive effects from our 2023 decision to
more than double our Queensland blueberry farm to
40 hectares. While the farm’s initial crop last year was
affected by high temperatures, production this year saw
considerable improvements achieved with mitigation
techniques including pruning, sun protection, ventilation
and nutrient management.
To meet increasing domestic and export demand,
production volumes this year grew to 500 tonnes and
we are well on track to double this to 1,000 tonnes
next year.
Exports to Fiji and the Pacific Islands also contributed
to our year-end results, with improving tourism flows
and better economic conditions supporting demand.

Investing for growth
Investments in technology, continued efficiencies in
our supply chain, strategic regional investments and
selective withdrawals from some sites and categories
enabled T&G Fresh to grow its reach and returns.
An efficient, flexible supply chain, which brings growers
and customers closer together, is an important goal
of the T&G Fresh transformation programme. We are
aiming for high efficiency and a lower cost-to-serve, with
investments in technology an important component.
This year, we continued to improve appropriate cost
recoveries, with more robust controls and reporting
systems around revenue, margin and costs.
We also introduced more seamless electronic
transactions to support both growers and customers,
with digital tools simplifying ordering, consignment
and payment. Our online services platform was also
upgraded to give growers the ability to book their
produce in advance and have visibility of transactions
without having to wait for weekly statements.
A new digital sales app is enabling our team to engage
directly with customers in-store and within their trading
environments. The introduction late last year of M2X,
a best-in-class transport management system, is
helping to optimise the movement of produce across
our national network. This has supported better
utilisation of routes, trucks and sub-contractors,
increased load efficiency and cost recovery. We expect
to realise further efficiency gains and savings from the
transformation of our transport business in 2026.
T&G Fresh continued
As we have further strengthened and diversified our
channels strategy, we have also reviewed our market
locations, assessing them and our transport fleet
against current and future demand.
As a result, our Tauranga site is being developed
to support growth in the Bay of Plenty and Waikato
region, while our Hamilton site has been repurposed
as a transport cross dock. Hastings now services the
Hawke’s Bay and Tairāwhiti Gisborne regions, following
the closure of the Tairāwhiti Gisborne site.
Together, these sites form part of the largest market
network in the North Island. Their reorganisation,
combined with new digital tools, has enabled our
sales team to spend more time in the field with growers
and customers.

Perfecting our produce portfolio
Our produce portfolio is critical to our strategic goal to
‘lead Aotearoa’s fresh produce future’. It supports our
work to win in chosen produce categories and it also
supports our ability to build long term relationships
with customers and growers.
Investments such as our Queensland blueberry farm
and the Hinton’s business are examples of investing
in categories where we can lead, innovate and grow.
This year, we also continued to invest in growing our
scale and reach in the berries category.
As the exclusive licensee of VentureFruit’s premium
jumbo blueberries in Aotearoa New Zealand, we have
a unique marketing and sales window in Australasia,
with the berries available over the winter months.
We are further leveraging this advantage through a
berries joint venture established in July between T&G
Fresh and the Ngāpuhi and Far North Holdings-owned
Kaikohe Berryfruit Limited Partnership. See separate
case study on page 30.
While investing to grow our produce portfolio, we
have also rationalised some categories and sites.
Our Harrisville tomato glasshouse in Tūakau has been
sold. An agreement to continue to market and sell the
site’s crop enabled the new owner to retain the existing
growing team with their skill and knowledge.
T&G Fresh continued
Outlook
In the year ahead, we expect strong underlying
performance as we realise a full year of benefits
from our transformation programme, with its focus
on efficiency and low cost-to-serve.
This includes ongoing benefits from our transport
business, as well as the related refinements to our
North Island market network.
Our continued growth in berries, supported by
our Queensland investment and our Northland joint
venture, will help drive increased returns in that
category. We also expect improved returns in the
citrus category, following the rationalisation of our
Northland growing operations and our increased
focus on the higher-returning, late-season,
Afourer mandarin.
Sales of imported fruit will continue to benefit from
this year’s work to grow our range, quality and
margins, while we see continued strength in our
export sales, including those to the Pacific Islands.
Investments such as our
Queensland blueberry farm
(pictured) and the Hinton’s
business are examples
of investing in categories
where we can lead,
innovate and grow.
We are no longer growing the common rabbiteye
blueberries in our Northland operations, with our focus
now on our highly profitable jumbo blueberries, where
we hold an exclusive market position and advantage.
Additional jumbo berries have been planted in Kerikeri,
and in 2026 we intend to sell two small orchards that
grow rabbiteye.
Two of our Northland citrus orchards are also scheduled
to be sold, as we’ve consolidated operations to reduce
volatility in commodity categories to deliver stronger
returns. The lemon crop has been reduced and now
services the domestic market, and only the best blocks
of navel oranges have been retained. This has freed
up resources to focus on our Northland production of
premium late-season Afourer mandarins.

T&G Kaikohe Berryfruit Limited is leasing Kaikohe
Berryfruit’s 10-hectare site, including its orchards

Securing our place in berries
With strong global demand for berries, we are well
positioned to create value through our portfolio of
superior blueberry and Rubus genetics – developed
with the Bioeconomy Science Institute (BSI, formerly
Plant & Food Research) – which perform across cool
to moderate temperature climates.
This year, we invested in accelerating our growth in
this high-value category by introducing 20 advanced
selections into the United States, South America,
Europe and China. We also partnered with 15 leading
commercial testers to ensure scale, speed and success
across key international markets. In the United States,
alignment between our genetics, market needs and
grower demand has already resulted in the licensing
of a berry variety for production on the West Coast
and Pacific Northwest.
With significant consumption growth forecast in the
Americas, we have fast-tracked our market plan by
establishing two strategic relationships which put us
in a strong position to expand access to our varieties
in the Pacific Northwest and South America from 2026
onwards. One of these relationships is with California
Giant Berry Farms, who will receive their first plant
orders from us in 2026.
Beyond the Americas, we have identified berries
from our exclusive BSI portfolio which are suitable
for commercialisation in the United Kingdom,
northern Spain and Poland. Licensing negotiations
are progressing well.
We also secured exclusive access for T&G Fresh to
Plant Science International’s INSPIRE strawberry

variety was made 20 years ago – well before climate
change risk management became an expectation
– making this a timely and important milestone for
the partnership.
Since its launch in February 2023, TUTTI™ apples
have expanded rapidly, with over 600 hectares licensed
across Spain, Latin America and the United Kingdom.
This year, we appointed Joy Wing Mau as the exclusive
growing and sales partner in China to spearhead the
brand’s growth in that market.
Joy Wing Mau will plant 300 hectares of TUTTI™ apples
and leverage its capabilities to bring the TUTTI™ apple
brand to consumers across China. The license is
another milestone for the partnership and a significant
step towards the goal of expanding our TUTTI™ apple
programme to 1,200 hectares globally by 2030.
The Hot Climate Partnership, meanwhile, is developing
and testing other innovative products for growers
to support higher saleable yields and the ability to
continue to grow apples in an increasingly warmer
environment. Progress is tracking to plan, with 2025
consumer evaluation work underway and strong
customer requests for a late-season variety apple and
a red-skinned pear.
In the United States, growers are responding strongly –
driven by JOLI™ apples’ taste, orchard performance and
the strength of the ENVY™ apples programme. The first
10,000 commercial test trees will be planted in 2026,
with a target of 400 hectares by 2035.

partnership. Based on their strong eating qualities,
unique characteristics and disease resistance, a number
of new apple varieties have been short listed for global
testing, including in Aotearoa New Zealand and Europe.
Protecting our IP
Last year, we reported on steps being taken to protect
our IP in China. This year, we welcomed a judgement
from the Supreme People’s Court of the People’s
Republic of China upholding an earlier landmark ruling
regarding the protection of our Scilate apple plant
variety rights.
Scilate is the apple plant variety name behind our
global ENVY™ apple brand.
The earlier ruling by the Lanzhou Intermediate Court
of Gansu Province in November 2023, found the
defendant had infringed T&G’s IP rights by unlawfully
cultivating and selling Scilate variety plant material and
apples harvested from the illegally planted materials.
The Court awarded damages to T&G, recognising and
accepting the application to award punitive damages,
and requires the infringer to remove the illegal material.
This is an important decision in the protection of IP
rights in China and will benefit plant breeders, growers,
consumers, customers and the horticultural sector.
It also shows China’s strong commitment under its
newly strengthened Seed Law to safeguard plant
variety rights and put a stop to illegitimate production
and infringement.
Outlook
2026 will see us accelerate our vision to unlock
the full potential of plant variety innovation
through rigorous testing, flexible commercial
models and end-to-end capability.
We will continue to expand our berry presence,
including establishing a testing network in Central
and South America, as well as a breeding footprint
in North America.
Pre-commercial testing in Europe and Aotearoa
New Zealand will continue with United Kingdom-
bred disease-resistant apple varieties.
We expect to commercialise new apple and pear
varieties that meet consumer needs and provide
growers with “lighter touch” climate-resilient
and disease-resistant cultivars.
We look forward to the next steps with
New Zealand’s proposed Gene Technology Bill,
having made a submission to the New Zealand
Government’s Health Select Committee.
We believe there is significant opportunity with
modern genetic technologies such as gene editing
to not only speed up, but increase our ability to
meet consumer needs with varieties that perform
well for growers and consumers, while managing
our changing climate.

This year, we established a robust North American
testing network: six sites evaluating 34 apple
varieties, three sites testing five pear varieties, and
14 sites trialling three blueberry varieties. Spread
across diverse climates, these sites help pinpoint
the optimal growing environments for each variety.
In the United States, the apple industry is under
considerable strain, with many growers currently
operating at a loss. Demand for traditional varieties,
such as Gala and Red Delicious, is declining, and the
number of sales channels to market is diluting growers’
ability to improve returns. In contrast, our United States
ENVY™ apple growers consistently achieve strong
returns, enabled by the brand’s end-to-end system
connecting supply and demand. The premium brand’s
success helps illustrate future opportunities for our
apple varieties.
While the market will recover over time, pricing
and demand imbalances will take time to correct.
VentureFruit is uniquely positioned to lead this
next phase of industry transformation. Our model,
varieties and track record align directly with the
sector’s emerging needs, offering growers sustainable,
scalable and profitable alternatives.
Our pear varieties deliver superior eating quality,
higher yields, and tree architecture that enables more
efficient orchard management. Many older North
American orchards struggle with low yielding, slow
ripening, quick to spoil varieties, with a gritty texture.
Our test sites are designed to provide growers with
confidence to transition to our premium genetics.
DELIVERING TO
OUR STRATEGY:
We are already well ahead in our berries
strategy, with our exclusive blueberry and Rubus
varieties. Our portfolio provides testing partners
with an extensive range of superior mid-to-high
chill varieties, and together with our flexible
commercialisation strategies, we are well positioned to
meet growers’ and market needs in North America.

We want to be the world’s leading premium fresh
produce company, and we believe a high-performance
culture will enable this. It’s about encouraging and
equipping our people to be their best and to take
accountability for their results. In turn, we take
accountability for providing them with a safe working
environment, a strong sense of purpose, ample
opportunities to grow professionally, and remuneration
which values their work.
Employee survey
To keep our high-performance culture healthy, we
survey our people each year to check how they feel
about the business and how well we are ensuring
everyone has the right tools, knowledge and support
to perform at their best.
We survey each business unit, recognising that
roles, working environments and results are different
according to where you work and who leads you. The
results show us where we are doing well and, more
importantly, what we need to focus on to support the
high performance we seek.
This year’s final survey in October 2025 achieved a
very pleasing 87% participation rate, a 19% increase
on the year prior.
Our people score (similar to an engagement score)
rose by 2%, to 75%, putting us in the top quartile of
survey benchmarks.
Overall, results indicate we’re on the right track. Key
highlights include:
■Leadership: 75% of our team believe senior leaders
will implement our strategy effectively (+1%) and 76%
say leaders’ actions align with our mindsets (+1%).
■Development: 76% said they have the information
needed to do their job effectively (+2%), 73% said we
recognise the work of individuals (+4%), and 71% said
we provide effective training (+3%).
■Communication: 82% feel comfortable asking for
help (+2%), 73% receive practical updates to better
understand strategy and performance (+3%), and
71% feel motivated by communications from our
leadership teams (+1%).
■Culture: 81% feel their personal values and beliefs
are respected (+1%) and 81% feel comfortable being
themselves at work. The latter is down 1% but it is still
a strong result.
Asia Development Centre
We introduced an Asia Development Centre in
Singapore this year, designed around our sales and
leadership capabilities. The Centre builds on the
sales capability training programme developed and
delivered in 2024 for our global Apples sales team.
This programme supports our capability build by
helping embed our in-market strategy and establish
deeper strategic partnerships with key customers to
drive increased consumer demand for our brands in
global markets, particularly Asia.
The Centre is focused on assessing and developing
the sales and leadership skills needed to achieve our
Apples growth strategy. Strong, mutually beneficial
customer partnerships, are critical to grow the premium
apple segment, with a strategic approach taken to
building consumer demand. This requires excellent
execution every day of the year across in-store ranging,
prominent on-shelf positioning, distinctive branding,
and in-store sampling and merchandising. This
specialist Centre was designed and delivered in-house.
Emerging Leaders Programme returns
Our award-winning frontline leadership initiative, the
Emerging Leaders Programme (ELP), returned this
year after a brief pause in 2024.
Since its launch in 2019, the 12-week programme
has developed over 200 team members. Built in-
house by our people and culture team, ELP equips
frontline future and current leaders with skills such as
communication, continuous improvement, developing
people, and leading safety and wellbeing.
Past graduates presented to the 2025 cohort, sharing
the key role ELP has played in their career journey
to date. We had 24 participants from our Apples
business – 12 from growing and 12 from post-harvest.
Managers nominated both current leaders and those
with leadership potential, and with such high demand,
we now have a waitlist for future intakes.

Governance and management
T&G’s Board has overarching responsibility for
sustainability. It is assisted by three Board Committees:
■ The Sustainability Committee (SC) oversees our
Kaitiakitanga sustainability framework, including
strategy, targets, initiatives and policies, climate-
related risks and opportunities, and monitors
performance.
■ The Human Resources Committee (HRC) oversees
and monitors the people and culture framework,
including health, safety and wellbeing, and inclusion
and diversity.
■ The Finance, Risk and Investment Committee (FRIC)
oversees and approves annual corporate disclosures.
The Executive team is responsible for developing
and implementing our Kaitiakitanga sustainability
framework and management of material issues.
An executive steering committee comprising the
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Chief Operating Officer Apples, Managing Director
T&G Fresh, Head of Corporate Affairs and General
Manager VentureFruit, governs the development,
implementation and progress of the ‘our planet’
pillar of the Kaitiakitanga sustainability framework.
This committee is responsible for overseeing our
climate action and low impact operations strategies,
targets and initiatives, and monitoring performance.
It also discusses risk parameters in related areas,
identifies areas of alignment and opportunity across
the business, and makes recommendations to the SC.

Strengthening our health and safety culture
Last year, we ceased using Total Recordable Injury
Frequency Rate (TRIFR) as a measure of safety
performance because it is a lag indicator, and there is
an industry trend to move to lead indicators. This view
is supported by the Institute of Directors’ Health and
Safety Good Governance Guide, endorsed by WorkSafe
New Zealand.
Our focus remains on fostering a safety culture where
everyone knows how to look after themselves, looks out
for colleagues, and feels confident raising concerns that
will be taken seriously. This includes ensuring we have
robust controls in place for our critical risks.
Our critical risk areas are:
■ operating or working around motor vehicles
■ operating or working around mobile plant
■ working at heights
■ working in confined spaces
■ working with fixed machinery (such as packing
shed equipment)
■ working with or around hazardous substances
■ working with or around excavation/trenches
■ performing hot work, and
■ working near objects that may fall.
In 2025, we introduced a three-level assurance process
for critical risks:
■Level 1: Site-based critical risk control reviews
led by operational managers and health and safety
representatives
■Level 2: Internal assurance assessment led by the
Health and Safety team, and
■Level 3: Governance-level deep dives led by the
General Manager Health and Safety, Risk and
Compliance.
This year, our Aotearoa New Zealand business
underwent an external assessment against the
SafePlus performance criteria. SafePlus is a health
and safety improvement toolkit for businesses,
developed by WorkSafe New Zealand, ACC and the
Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
Assessors visited multiple T&G sites and engaged
with our Board, leadership team, managers,
supervisors, health and safety representatives, workers
and contractors. The assessment included deep dives
into risks related to hazardous substances, manual
handling and mobile plant.
We achieved an excellent result, moving from
a 2019 rating of Developing to a 2025 rating of
Performing. Independent assessors commented that
“T&G workers report significant progress on health
and safety matters over the last 3 to 5 years. They
acknowledge the positive communication and the
Company’s commitment to ensuring ‘Everyone Home
Safe, Every Day’.”

For employers, the anonymised symptom data is an
invaluable resource for informing future preventative
health and wellbeing planning and activities. It has
enabled us to expand the level of pastoral care we
offer, while achieving substantial time and resource
efficiencies. From a community perspective, it also
helps ease the demand on medical and urgent care
services in the region.
To the best of our knowledge, our health clinic and its
service is unique in Aotearoa New Zealand and it will
continue in the 2026 season.
We see the clinic as an important part of the pastoral
care we offer our valued RSE workers. It is an extension
of the manaakitanga we offer them each season,
which begins with an annual pōwhiri at a local marae.
Inclusion and diversity
Creating an inclusive and diverse workplace
While Aotearoa New Zealand is a small country, we
are big when it comes to diversity, with census data
showing some 200 ethnicities making a home here.
This diversity is reflected in our workplace. To ensure
our people feel safe, welcome and respected, we
have an Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) Policy, overseen
by the Board, and an employee representative
committee, which encourages and celebrates
inclusiveness and diversity.
This Policy applies to all employees, including our
RSE team. This year, we conducted an independent,
anonymous survey to gauge our RSE team’s views on
how well we are performing. We aimed to have our
entire RSE workforce of 800 participating and 71.9%,
or 575 people, completed it this year.
Our survey included questions specific to their role
as seasonal workers and their lifestyle during their
time with us. It covered pre-employment orientation
briefings, training on the job, expectations compared
with the reality of RSE work, access to a community
network through church, sports or the gym, their ability
to raise concerns, whether concerns were actioned,
and conditions such as accommodation, access to
healthcare, safety at work, and the ability to maintain
contact with family at home.
We are proud of the many positive results, with average
scores of 98% for health and safety, 97% for pay and for
treatment at work, 92% for the ability to raise concerns,
87% for the overall worker experience, 85% for holidays
and rest, and 76% for communication. Participants
reported they were treated with respect and their
cultural values were also respected, and 91% reported
they were generally happy with their accommodation.
The results confirmed we are on the right track in
our care of our RSE team members. This is positive
reinforcement of our I&D Policy and practices, and our
care and treatment of this valuable workforce.
Recordable injuries
Across our global business, Total Recordable Injuries
for 2025 were 134. This compares to 149 in 2024, a
reduction of 10%. 143 injuries were reported in our 2024
Annual Report, however, there were six late or upgraded
injuries after publication.
Health clinic returns for RSE workers
Overwhelmingly positive feedback on our pilot health
clinic for our Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE)
workers in Hawke’s Bay saw its return for the 2025
season and recognition through the Manaaki Award at
the 2025 Horticulture New Zealand Industry Awards.
Manaaki means care, support and respect, and the
clinic at our Whakatu apples packhouse certainly meets
the definition. Open to all Hawke’s Bay RSE employers
and their RSE workers, it operates five days a week over
the season, with people usually seen within 10 minutes,
or waiting no longer than 30 minutes at peak times.
In 2025, it cared for 1,900 patients over a five-month
period, a significant increase on the 660 people treated
in last year’s pilot.
The clinic is an investment that creates value for RSE
workers, their employers and the wider community.
For workers, barriers to accessing healthcare are
removed. The clinic is in a familiar packhouse setting,
staffed by medical practitioners who understand the
demands of harvesting apples. Easy access means
continuity of care is established, with the workers
encouraged to be more proactive about their health.

Inclusion and diversity initiatives
Throughout 2025, our Aotearoa New Zealand I&D
Committee organised a number of activities to
celebrate our diverse workforce. They included:
■ Matariki celebrations across many sites, with the
largest in Hawke’s Bay. Our traditional wearable
arts show expanded into a festival for more than
300 Hawke’s Bay orchard and post-harvest team
members who enjoyed a hāngī lunch and cultural
performances at our Whakatu site.
■ A team participating in Sweat for Pride in June, raising
$4,433 for rainbow communities through a collective
7,682 minutes of exercise.
■ Celebrations of culture and diversity through
New Zealand Sign Language Week, World Autism
Awareness Month, Pink Shirt Day, Diwali, Te Wiki o te
Reo Māori and Vanuatu Bislama Language Week.
Welcoming our RSE team with a pōwhiri
This year was our third annual pōwhiri in Hawke’s
Bay, a tradition that has become a meaningful part of
how we welcome our RSE team for the apple season.
Hosted by Ngāti Kahungunu at Kohupātiki marae, the
pōwhiri enabled T&G to welcome RSE team members
from Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands
and Vanuatu. The ceremony also strengthened our
ties with mana whenua and marked the arrival of new
and returning RSE team members to our business,
to Hawke’s Bay, and to Aotearoa New Zealand.
This cultural exchange continues to be a special way
to begin the busy harvest season each year.

Our planet
The development this year of our Environmental Policy
underscores the importance of a strong and healthy
environment to our business, stakeholders and future
generations.
The policy forms the foundation of the Company’s
related governance system. It details our environmental
commitments and how we will work in partnership with
our people and stakeholders to consider environmental
impacts, address related issues, and continually
improve performance.
It is supported by our Code of Ethics, which sets out
our behavioural expectations for employees. In relation
to T&G’s wider value chain, the principles of our
Environmental Policy are embedded in our Supplier
Code of Conduct, which sets out the expectations for all
suppliers.
Climate action
Climate targets
Since 2017, we have had a target for reducing our scope
1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To ensure
we are taking meaningful climate action, we have set
near-term Science-based Targets (SBTs) for scopes
1, 2 and 3, which were validated by the Science-based
Target initiative (SBTi) in 2024 (see Figure 2). Using
a base year of 2021, these targets align with the Paris
Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
These targets are ambitious. With T&G’s scope 1
and 2 emissions containing some hard-to-abate
areas, including heavy fleet vehicles and natural gas
consumption, the commercial availability of cost-
efficient and operationally compatible technology will be
important in helping to achieve our targets. For T&G’s
most material scope 3 categories, we acknowledge
that achieving our SBTs will be challenging, but we are
working to a best endeavours approach.
Restating our emissions
The sale of T&G Fresh’s Harrisville glasshouse
materially changed our operational boundary. In line
with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate
Accounting and Reporting Standard (revised Edition,
2015) (the ‘GHG Protocol’), SBTi methodology and our
base year restatement approach, we have recalculated
and restated our 2021 base year and all subsequent
years’ emissions. There is no change to our validated
SBTs. All of the GHG emissions and tracking against
our SBTs discussed here reflect these changes.
SBT progress
In 2025, our scope 1 (not related to Forest, Land and
Agriculture – FLAG) and scope 2 (market-based)
emissions decreased 5%, from 24,025 tCO
2
e in 2024 to
22,844 tCO
2
e in 2025. This is a 22% reduction against
our SBT to reduce related emissions by 42% by 2030,
from our 2021 base year.
Scope 3 emissions are complex, as they encompass a
wide range of activities across our global value chain.
This year, we made considerable progress in capturing
and measuring our scope 3 emissions across the
material areas of the GHG Protocol’s 15 categories. With
the forthcoming changes to Aotearoa New Zealand’s
climate reporting regime (see page 2), in 2026 we will
continue to collate our scope 3 emissions.

Energy strategy
It is critical that we have affordable, reliable and
sustainable energy that supports our commercial goals
and operational needs. We are developing a long-term
energy strategy, which focuses on how we can reduce
costs, minimise volatility, adopt renewable energy,
and enhance energy efficiency and system resilience.
Within it, we are also exploring energy transition options
for T&G Fresh’s glasshouses. The strategy will be
completed in 2026.
Climate-related risks and opportunities
We continue to deepen our understanding of T&G’s
climate-related risks and opportunities, ensuring they
are embedded in our strategy. Transitioning to a low-
emissions, climate-resilient future remains a core focus
of our long-term direction.
T&G’s Risk Management Policy, together with the Risk
Management Guideline and the Risk and Compliance
Framework, provides the overarching framework for
assessing, monitoring and managing all risks, including
climate-related risks.
The Risk and Compliance Framework supports the
identification and management of strategic, project,
climate-related and operational risks, and enables the
delivery of T&G’s objectives within the defined Risk
Appetite. Climate-related risks are integrated into T&G’s
risk management processes through the Three Lines
of Defence model, the Risk Appetite Statement and the
T&G Risk Matrix.
This year, we commenced the transition of our climate-
related risk assessment approach from the traditional
likelihood and consequence model to the widely
recognised best practice framework of exposure,
vulnerability and impact. While these elements were
previously considered, our updated approach makes
them more explicit within the assessment process.
In 2026, we will further refine this methodology and
continue to strengthen our programme of work relating
to climate-related risks and opportunities.
Low impact operations
Water security
With an ambitious growth strategy, it is essential that
our operations have long-term water security. In 2025,
we began developing an Apples water strategy, initially
focusing on T&G’s Hawke’s Bay operations. Key areas
of focus include continued efficiency improvements and
sustainable water management, and on-orchard R&D.
For our Aotearoa New Zealand sites, a water
consumption baseline has been established and
improvements made to some water meters.
Protecting and enhancing our natural resources
In 2025, Worldwide Fruit, our United Kingdom
subsidiary, increased its focus on regenerative
practices across its global supply base, with particular
emphasis on soil health, water efficiency, ecosystem
resilience and investing in regenerative farming proof-
of-concept model farms. This area of focus supports
Worldwide Fruit in continually reducing its impact on
the environment and being customers’ first choice. A
key example is the model farm Chandler & Dunn, one
of Worldwide Fruit’s long-standing grower partners
in Kent, in the United Kingdom, established this year.
The farm is focused on forming the operational and
measurement foundations needed for a transition to
regenerative growing.
Shaped through expert collaboration, the farm features
a selection of perennial grass and flower seed mixes,
complemented by good orchard management practices
and investment in regenerative equipment, such as a
direct drill and a side-discharge spreader for non-living
mulches. Fortnightly performance tracking and weekly
biodiversity observations have been introduced to link
farm inputs with outcomes across Chandler & Dunn’s
trial and control orchards. Baseline soil data from
assessments inform future compost, mulching and
biochar strategies, providing valuable, auditable and
transferable insights, which will support Worldwide Fruit
in future supplier engagement.
Understanding our packaging
As noted in the 2024 Annual Report, packaging was
a key area of focus this year. A packaging audit was
conducted across 20 Apples markets and our T&G Fresh
business, with a focus on retail materials. In Apples,
the audit is largely complete and captures material
types, variations and packaging suppliers. The next step
involves building robust global market requirements
and identifying opportunities to optimise and simplify
packaging while reducing costs. In T&G Fresh, following
the audit we have begun to simplify packaging, starting
with Beekist tomatoes and the move to a single label on
punnets. This will reduce materials and costs, and create
efficiencies in the packhouse.

Responsible partnerships
Human rights and modern slavery
Ethical and mutually beneficial partnerships across
our global value chain are one of the goals of T&G’s
Kaitiakitanga sustainability framework.
In October, we finalised and published our Human
Rights Policy, reinforcing our commitment to respecting
and upholding the rights of all people across our
operations and value chain. The policy embeds human
rights considerations into how we work, striving to
create a safe, fair and inclusive environment, build
trust with our stakeholders, and contribute positively
to the communities where we operate. The policy also
sets clear expectations for employees, contractors,
suppliers and partners to uphold these principles in
our workplaces and throughout our supply chain.
We have developed a comprehensive human rights
and modern slavery e-learning module, to be rolled out
in 2026, to support employee understanding of human
rights and modern slavery risks in supply chains, and
T&G’s commitments and responsibilities. The training
will be mandatory for identified employees based on
the relevance of their role.
Our commitment to human rights extends across
our global operations, including our United Kingdom
subsidiary, Worldwide Fruit. In 2025, Worldwide Fruit
made progress in enhancing its human rights due
diligence processes to better address risks in their supply
chain. This included extended site visits informed by
climate and human rights risk assessments, and direct
engagement with workers and stakeholders. A specialised
training course was also developed, with delivery
scheduled for next year. It will equip team members to
conduct deeper, more effective risk evaluations.
Looking ahead to 2026, across the Group we will
integrate human rights considerations into T&G’s
broader risk management processes, enabling more
consistent identification, assessment and prioritisation
of human rights and modern slavery risks alongside
other material business risks.
Supporting fair labour standards
Consistent with T&G’s operations, Worldwide Fruit
is also committed to supporting growers in upholding
fair labour standards and ensuring safe, appropriate
conditions for all workers. At Worldwide Fruit, this
includes conducting farm visits, inspections, and
capacity-building initiatives through the seasonal
workers task force and other industry resources.
By taking a proactive approach, Worldwide Fruit
aims to ensure that all workers, regardless of
their employment route, are treated fairly, housed
appropriately and supported throughout their time
on United Kingdom farms.
Healthy communities
New Zealand Food Network
This year, we donated almost 430,000 kilograms of
fruit and vegetables to the New Zealand Food Network
(NZFN). T&G Fresh is proud to be a founding donor of
NZFN, Aotearoa New Zealand’s national food rescue
and the country’s largest food support charity. NZFN –
who celebrated their 5th birthday in 2025 – connects
food donors with food hubs and charities, ensuring
that donated and surplus food goes to people in need
through their network of more than 60 food hubs across
the country.

Healthy Family Project
In the United States, we continued our partnership
with the Healthy Family Project through our premium
ENVY™ and JAZZ™ apple brands. In 2025, we
contributed USD$27,370 to support their mission of
increasing produce consumption and helping families
access healthier food options, including a donation to
non-profit organisations providing nutritious food to
families in need.
Fruit & Vegetables in Schools
We continued to support the Fruit & Vegetables in
Schools programme in 2025. The programme, which is
funded by Health New Zealand – Te Whatu Ora, provides
daily fresh produce to children in low socio-economic
schools across Aotearoa New Zealand. It covers 21
regions, supplying 565 schools – approximately 25% of
all primary schools in the country. Through T&G Fresh,
we supplied more than 100,000 parcels of fresh fruit
to 307 schools, with apples, bananas and mandarins
making up a significant proportion.
JAZZ™ Foundation
Established in 2014 by Worldwide Fruit, the JAZZ™
Foundation supports young people in local communities
by providing financial assistance to sports teams,
aspiring athletes, mental health charities and youth
groups. Throughout 2025, the Foundation received
257 applications and granted 29 awards. Since its
establishment, the JAZZ™ Foundation has donated
more than £50,000 to community initiatives, helping
to fund school sports kits, equipment, and entry and
travel costs.
Garden to Table
As a long-standing partner of Garden to Table, we’re
proud to support their work empowering children
across Aotearoa New Zealand to grow, harvest, prepare
and share great food. In 2025, the programme reached
318 schools and more than 33,000 children, resulting in
more than 1.3 million meals grown, cooked and eaten.
This year, we welcomed a Garden to Table class from
Haumoana School to one of our Hawke’s Bay orchards,
helping bring the curriculum to life through practical
pruning sessions and learning about pests, diseases
and day-to-day orchard operations. We also sponsored
Garden to Table’s annual seedling sale, with 146 schools
taking part – their biggest sale to date. Recent feedback
from principals in the Garden to Table programme
reinforces the value of the programme, with 100%
saying it strengthens their school’s culture and identity,
and 90% noting it supports mental health and wellbeing
through outdoor learning and social connection.
Kaitiakitanga continued
Garden to Table has been
empowering children across
Aotearoa New Zealand to grow,
harvest, prepare and share
great food for over 15 years.

Corporate governance
The Board is the governing body of T&G Global Limited
(the Company) and its subsidiary companies.
Role of the Board
The Board is responsible to shareholders for T&G’s
performance. This encompasses setting objectives,
formulating strategies to achieve these objectives,
identifying significant business risks, and implementing
policies to manage these risks. Additionally, the Board
oversees establishment of the overall policy framework
and monitors T&G’s ongoing performance and its
management. The Board also ensures that effective
internal financial control procedures are in place.
The day-to-day management of T&G is delegated by
the Board to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The
Board is dedicated to acting with integrity and expects
high standards of conduct and accountability from
all personnel.
Board membership
There are no Executive Directors across the Board,
but a broad mix of skills and industry experience
relevant to the guidance of T&G’s businesses.
The Board has a process to regularly assess the Board’s
composition to ensure it has the relevant skills and
business experience necessary for the Board to fulfil its
governance responsibilities and effectively contribute to
the strategic direction of the Company.
The Board believes that it is important to have a Board
consisting of members with diverse backgrounds,
experience and skills.
Carol Campbell and Rob Hewett are Independent
Directors for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules.
Each year, the Board considers the independent status
of the Independent Directors and has determined
that Carol Campbell and Rob Hewett continue to be
independent.
The Board has considered Carol’s tenure and
determined that this does not affect her independent
judgement on any issues before the Board or in her
ability to act in the best interests of the Company and
represent the best interests of all shareholders.
The table below summarises the current key skills and
experience of the Board.

T&G Global Annual Report 202555
Conduct of the Board
The Board has adopted a formal Code of Ethics which
sets out the expected standards of professional conduct
of its members.
The Board meets at regular intervals and conducts
its affairs to ensure matters can be discussed openly,
candidly and confidentially. Any potential conflicts
of interest relating to Directors are identified and
disclosed. Affected Directors are usually not permitted
to vote on any related matter where a conflict exists.
The Company operates a Share Trade Policy that
prohibits Directors and other affected parties to trade
T&G shares at any time when they are in possession
of material information and during periods which are
deemed by the Board to be ‘closed’ periods. These
closed periods customarily include the end of the six
and 12-month reporting cycles, and until such time as
profit announcements have been publicly disclosed.
Closed periods include any additional period when the
Board is engaged in matters that are likely to have an
impact on the market value of T&G’s shares.
Board access to advice
The Board has established a procedure whereby
Directors and Board Committees have the right,
in connection with their duties and responsibilities, to
seek independent professional advice at the Company’s
expense, with the prior approval of the Chair.
Independent professional advice includes professional
legal and financial advice, but excludes any advice on
the personal interests of a Director.
The Board regularly invites key managers and
Executives to attend and present at Board meetings,
and interaction with Directors is routinely encouraged.
Board Committees
The Board has three constituted Committees; the
Finance, Risk and Investment Committee (FRIC),
the Human Resources Committee (HRC) and the
Sustainability Committee (SC), with each Committee
operating under Board approved charters.
The FRIC meets four times a year and is responsible
for all matters related to the oversight of financial
accounting and reporting of the Company, external and
internal audits, risk management, and the monitoring
and appraisal of investment activities. The FRIC ensures
that management has established procedures and
processes to identify, escalate, manage and monitor
principal business risks and opportunities in accordance
with the Company’s Risk Management policies.
It ensures that effective systems of accounting
and internal control are established and maintained,
overseeing internal and external audit programmes,
and liaising with T&G’s independent auditors.
The FRIC is chaired by Carol Campbell and comprises
Rob Hewett and Philipp Trachtenberg. The FRIC
members also meet separately with auditors as
required.
The HRC is responsible for reviewing, approving and
monitoring T&G’s health, safety and wellbeing policies,
including T&G’s I&D Policy, which addresses the
promotion of diversity and inclusiveness throughout
the business.
The HRC regularly visits T&G facilities to review
health and safety practices and procedures, ensuring
a safe environment is maintained for all those who
work at T&G. The HRC is tasked with ensuring T&G’s
remuneration strategy, policies and practices are fair
and reasonable, and demonstrate clear alignment to
T&G’s strategic objectives as well as corporate and
individual performance. Other duties involve assisting
the Board with succession planning for the CEO and
senior management through a programme aimed
at identifying and developing potential candidates.
The HRC meets four times a year and is comprised of
Rob Hewett (Chair), Carol Campbell and Tobias Priske.
The SC is responsible for overseeing T&G’s
Kaitiakitanga sustainability framework, including
its climate action strategy, targets and initiatives,
climate-related risks and opportunities, and T&G’s
Environmental Policy. The SC monitors performance
in these areas through standing agenda items, and
oversees sustainability disclosures. The SC meets four
times a year and comprises Benedikt Mangold (Chair),
Carol Campbell and Tobias Priske.

T&G Global Annual Report 202556
The Board continues to expand its climate-related
capabilities through knowledge-sharing, engagement
with internal and external subject matter experts and
participation in events. Three Directors have previously
completed Cambridge Institute for Sustainability
Leadership programmes and two Directors are
members of Chapter Zero, a global network of directors
committed to taking action on climate change.
The Board has not, at this stage, established a
Nominations Committee, owing to a belief that Director
appointments are of such significance that they should
be a direct responsibility of the full Board. This matter
is kept under review.
Interests register
The Company and each of its subsidiaries are required
to maintain an interests register in which particulars
of certain transactions and matters involving the
Directors must be recorded. The interests registers
for the Company and its subsidiaries are available for
inspection at its registered office. Details of all matters
that have been entered in the interests register of
the Company by individual Directors during the year
are outlined in the statutory information section of
this report and should be read in conjunction with the
individual Directors’ profiles.
T&G management structure
T&G’s organisational structure is focused on its
four business divisions, being Apples, T&G Fresh,
VentureFruit and Other Business. These operations
are managed separately with direct reporting to the
CEO and to the Board, which exercises overall control.
Risk identification and management
T&G has adopted a system of internal control, based
on written procedures, policies and guidelines,
which is supported by the internal audit function that
reports to the FRIC. The Board acknowledges that it is
responsible for the overall internal control framework.
In discharging this responsibility, the Board has in
place a number of strategies designed to safeguard
T&G’s assets and interests and to ensure the integrity
of reporting.
Procedures are in place to identify areas of significant
business risk and to remediate and effectively manage
those risks. As required, the Board obtains advice from
external advisors.
While the Board acknowledges that it is responsible for
the overall control framework of T&G, it recognises that
no cost-effective internal control system will preclude
all errors and irregularities.
Directors’ and officers’ insurance
T&G has in place directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance covering Directors acting on behalf of T&G.
Cover is for damages, judgements, fines, penalties,
legal costs awarded, and defence costs arising from
wrongful acts committed while acting for T&G.
The types of acts that are not covered are dishonest,
fraudulent and malicious acts or omissions; wilful
breach of statute, regulations or duty to the Company;
improper use of information to the detriment of T&G;
and breach of professional duty.
Tax strategy and governance
T&G’s tax strategy has been developed in line with
its commitment to operate in a manner that is fair,
honest, ethical and legal, and the acknowledgment that
collecting and paying tax is an important contribution
to society. T&G implements this strategy through
T&G’s Tax Risk Management Policy and Operating
Model Guideline, which have been designed to provide
a framework for tax risk management and control
processes. T&G’s tax strategy encompasses the
following principles:
■ Effectively managing tax risks and opportunities by
operating within a framework of prudent and proactive
tax risk management and high-quality tax governance
procedures, giving consideration to T&G’s reputation.
■ Ensuring tax positions are at least more likely than
not to be correct and are supported by well-reasoned
and documented conclusions. External advice and/
or certainty on tax positions is sought from tax
authorities where appropriate.
■ Developing a positive working relationship with tax
authorities by having an open, honest and proactive
approach and making voluntary disclosures where
incorrect tax positions are unintentionally taken.
■ Participating in the development of tax policy where
appropriate.
■ Meeting all relevant statutory tax obligations,
ensuring integrity in the reported tax disclosures, and
making tax payments accurately and on time, in each
jurisdiction in which T&G operates.

CEO remuneration
The CEO’s remuneration reflects the scope, complexity
and risk profile of this role and is set by the Board based
on comparison to market data of CEO roles of other
similar sized companies.
Gareth received gross remuneration of $1,328,465

be entitled to an annual cash reward of 40% of base
salary for 100% achievement of target and capped

T&G Global Annual Report 202561
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of T&G Global Limited
OpinionWe have audited the consolidated financial statements of T&G Global Limited and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’),
which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2025, and the income statement, statement of comprehensive
income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages 66 to 136, present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2025, and its financial performance and cash flows for
the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to IFRS Accounting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’) as issued
by the External Reporting Board and IFRS Accounting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board.
Basis for opinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (‘ISAs’) and International Standards
on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1
International Code of Ethics
for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand)
(‘PES 1’) issued by the
New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (‘IESBA
Code’) as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with PES 1 and the IESBA Code.
Other than in our capacity as auditor and other assurance services provided relating to the solvency return for
the captive insurer, limited assurance engagement over the Group’s GHG Inventory Report, limited assurance
procedures on the interim group reporting pack to the Parent and the provision of non-assurance services to the
Corporate Taxpayers Group of which the Group is a member, we have no relationship with or interests in the Company
or any of its subsidiaries. These services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Company and Group.
Our businessOur yearOur performanceHigh-performanceKaitiakitangaFinancialsAppendicesIntroductionGovernance
T&G Global Annual Report 202562
Audit materialityWe consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of misstatement in the financial statements of the Group
that in our judgement would make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person
would be changed or influenced (the ‘quantitative’ materiality). In addition, we also assess whether other matters that
come to our attention during the audit would in our judgement change or influence the decisions of such a person
(the ‘qualitative’ materiality). We use materiality both in planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the
results of our work.
We determined materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole to be $15 million.
Key audit mattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.
KEY AUDIT MATTERHOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER
Biological Assets (Note 8)
The Group’s Biological Assets of $46.7 million (2024: $36.3 million)
predominantly represent produce such as apples, tomatoes, citrus
fruits, blueberries and stone fruit, growing on bearer plants (e.g. trees
and vines) at balance date.
Biological assets are measured at fair value less estimated point-of-
sale costs. This has been calculated by the Group using discounted
cash flow models.
The discount rate used in the fair value models takes into account the
risk of unknown adverse events including natural events, the possible
impact of diseases and other adverse factors that may impact on the
quality, yield or price.
The valuation of biological assets is a key audit matter due to the
subjective judgements and assumptions in the valuation models,
many of which are specific to the location of the asset and therefore
unobservable in the market. These unobservable inputs and
assumptions include the forecast production per hectare per annum
by weight, prices expected to be received, costs expected to be
incurred and a discount rate reflecting the risks inherent in the crops.
Our audit procedures were focused on the higher value biological
assets, or where, in our professional judgement, there is a greater level
of uncertainty associated with the cash flow forecasts.
We held discussions with management to understand if there were
changes in market or environmental conditions, or other risks inherent
in the current crop valuations.
We engaged our internal valuation specialist to consider whether the
valuation methods applied were reasonable.
We compared the forecast production per hectare, forecast prices, and
forecast costs to the approved budgets for the relevant fruit growing
activities, and assessed the historical accuracy of the Group’s forecasts.
With input from our internal valuation specialist, assessed the discount
rates assumed in the model and evaluated changes from the prior year.
We performed a sensitivity analysis to assess the impact that a change
in the discount rate would have on the valuation of the biological assets.
We checked the mechanical accuracy of the discounted cash flow
models.

KEY AUDIT MATTERHOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER
Property, Plant & Equipment Valuations (Note 10)
The Group’s commercial and orchard land and improvements, and
buildings (collectively ‘land and buildings’) total $232 million as at
31 December 2025 (2024: $204 million). A valuation gain on the
Group’s land and buildings for the year ended 31 December 2025
totalled $11 million.
The Group’s land and buildings are measured at fair value less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses at balance date.
Revaluations have been performed by independent registered valuers
on a systematic basis and with sufficient regularity to ensure that the
carrying values do not differ materially from their fair value.
The Group has obtained independent valuations of its land and
buildings in the current year. Land and buildings are valued using
a combination of market comparison, income capitalisation, and
depreciated replacement cost methodologies.
The valuation of land and buildings is a key audit matter because
changes to key assumptions used in the valuation methods could have
a material impact on the carrying amount of land and buildings, with
changes recognised in either other comprehensive income or profit
or loss, as appropriate.
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s process for valuing the
land and buildings.
We evaluated the objectivity, independence, and expertise of the external
valuers engaged to perform valuations.
On a sample basis:
■ We considered whether the underlying assumptions used by the
external valuers are consistent with our knowledge of the properties in
their specific locations;
■ We assessed comparable sales data used in the valuation reports to
independent sources; and
■ We compared capitalisation rates used, as applicable, to market
reports to check that those rates reflected market trends.
We performed sensitivity analysis to assess the robustness of the
methods used by the Group’s external valuers on the valuation of land
and building.
Other informationThe directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Annual Report that accompanies the consolidated financial statements and the audit report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether it is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If so, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Our businessOur yearOur performanceHigh-performanceKaitiakitangaFinancialsAppendicesIntroductionGovernance
T&G Global Annual Report 202564
Directors’
responsibilities for the
consolidated financial
statements
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the directors determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for assessing
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s
responsibilities for the
audit of the consolidated
financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs and ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located on the
External Reporting Board’s website at:
https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1-1/
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Restriction on useThis report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken so that we might
state to the Company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than
the Company’s shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements
General information
This section describes the principles and general accounting policies used in the
preparation of the financial statements. Accounting policies that relate to specific
line items on the income statement and balance sheet are described in their
respective notes.
1. Basis of preparation
Reporting entity and statutory base
T&G Global Limited (the Parent) and its subsidiary companies (the Group), are
recognised as one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading growers, distributors,
marketers and exporters of premium fresh produce. Key categories for the Group
include apples, berries, citrus (lemons, mandarins and navel oranges), tomatoes and
stone fruit.
These consolidated financial statements presented are for the Group which
comprises the Parent, its subsidiaries and joint ventures as at 31 December 2025.
The Parent is registered in Aotearoa New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993
and is a FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Market Conducts Act 2013 and the
Financial Reporting Act 2013.
The Parent is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Aotearoa
New Zealand and is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. The address of its
registered office is Building 1, Level 1, Central Park, 660 Great South Road, Ellerslie,
Auckland 1051.
BayWa Global Produce GmbH (the Immediate Parent) and BayWa Aktiengesellschaft
(the Ultimate Parent) are the parents of the Group and are based in Munich, Germany.
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with
New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS)
and other applicable New Zealand Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate for
profit-oriented entities, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements
of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
These consolidated financial statements are expressed in New Zealand dollars which
is the presentation currency of the Group. All financial information has been rounded
to the nearest thousand ($’000) unless otherwise stated.
Measurement basis
The measurement basis adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial
statements is historical cost except for certain assets and liabilities, identified in
specific accounting policies, which are stated at fair value.
Basis of consolidation
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which the Group gains control until the date on which
control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses
between the Group’s companies are eliminated.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries and joint ventures have been aligned where
necessary to ensure consistency with policies adopted by the Group.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the
assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the
equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair
value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement.
Our businessOur yearOur performanceHigh-performanceKaitiakitangaGovernanceAppendicesIntroductionFinancials
T&G Global Annual Report 202574
ffiēāfiōāēāfiōāāfifiāō continued
1. Basis of preparation continued
Identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed
in a business combination, are measured initially at fair value at the acquisition
date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an
acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s
proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable assets.
Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. If the business combination is
achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the Group’s previously held equity
interest in the acquiree is initially remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date
through profit or loss.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest and fair value of the
Group’s previously held interest (if any) over the net identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets
of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.
Basis of accounting
Material accounting policy information is set out within the notes to which those
policies are applicable and are designated with a
symbol. All other material
accounting policy information is set out on the following page. There have been no
significant changes made to accounting policy information during the year. Refer to
Note 2 for discussion on interpretations approved and effective in the current year,
and other standards approved but not yet effective for the Group in the current year.
Foreign currency translation
The assets and liabilities of the Group’s subsidiaries that do not have New Zealand
dollars as their functional currency are translated to New Zealand dollars at foreign
exchange rates ruling at balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of these
foreign operations are translated to New Zealand dollars at rates approximating the
foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
Exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign operations are
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency
translation reserve.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Non-
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at
fair value are translated to New Zealand dollars at the foreign exchange rate on the
dates that the fair value was determined.
Fair value estimation
Where fair value measurement has been applied, a symbol designates the
paragraph describing the valuation method used.
The Group uses various valuation methods to determine the fair value of certain
assets and liabilities. The inputs to the valuation methods used to measure fair value
are categorised into three levels:
■Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
■Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is,
derived from prices).
■Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (that is, unobservable inputs).
Goods and services tax (GST)
The income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of
cash flows have been presented with all items exclusive of GST. All items in the
balance sheet are stated net of GST, except for receivables and payables, which
include GST invoiced.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group makes estimates and judgements concerning the future. The resulting
accounting estimates may, by definition, not equal the related actual results. The
estimates and judgements that have a potential risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are
discussed within the notes to which those judgements are applicable and are
designated with a
symbol.

2. New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations
New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted in the current year
Amendments to NZ IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
(NZ IAS 21) - Lack of Exchangeability
The Group has adopted the amendments to NZ IAS 21 for the first time in the current
year. The amendments clarify how an entity should assess whether a currency is
exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability
is lacking. When the Group reports foreign currency transactions in its functional
currency, and at the date of initial application, concludes that its functional currency
is not exchangeable, the amendment requires disclosure of the following: the nature
and financial impacts of the currency not being exchangeable; the spot exchange rate
used; the estimation process; and risks to the Group because the currency is not
exchangeable. The Group has assessed the exchangeability of currencies in which it
operates and concluded that all currencies were exchangeable at the reporting date.
Accordingly, the amendments had no impact on the Group’s financial statements.
Amendments to NZ IAS 12
Income Taxes (NZ IAS 12) – International Tax Reform –
Pillar Two Model Rules
New Zealand enacted the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2023-24, Multinational Tax,
and Remedial Matters) Act on 28 March 2024, which included changes to adopt the
OECD’s Global Anti-Base Erosion Pillar Two Rules as part of a global initiative to
subject multinational groups to at least a 15% tax rate. The New Zealand Pillar Two
rules apply to the Group from the financial year 2025. In addition, Group subsidiaries
operate in jurisdictions that have also enacted Pillar Two. These laws create
potential Pillar Two tax liabilities for the Group in New Zealand and in other relevant
jurisdictions where the Group operates.
The Pillar Two legislation includes simplified rules in the form of temporary safe
harbour regulations for each jurisdiction, which means that no tax increase is payable
if certain conditions are met. The safe harbour calculations demonstrated this
requirement was satisfied in the vast majority of jurisdictions of the Group, meaning
that no additional taxes arise. For any jurisdictions where the temporary safe harbour
requirements were not met, the Group has performed a preliminary assessment of
the potential exposure, taking into account the jurisdictional Pillar 2 tax profile. Based
on this assessment, the Group does not expect any resulting Pillar Two top-up tax to
be material for the financial year 2025. As such, the Group has not recognised a Pillar
Two provision for the financial year 2025.
No Pillar Two provision was recognised in the financial year 2024 on the basis of the
safe harbour calculations. While the New Zealand legislation did not yet apply to the
Group in the financial year 2024, the Ultimate Parent and Group subsidiaries operated
in jurisdictions that had already enacted Pillar Two with effect from 1 January 2024.
The Group is making use of the temporary exemption resulting from the
implementation of the Pillar Two regulations, which was included in the amendment
of NZ IAS 12 published in May 2023, under which it does not have to recognise
deferred taxes in relation to Pillar Two.

Standards, amendments and interpretations on issue not yet effective
Implementations of NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial
Statements
(NZ IFRS 18)
NZ IFRS 18
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was issued in
May 2024 by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to replace IAS
1
Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1). It is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early adoption permitted.
The standard sets out new requirements for the presentation and disclosure of
information in general purpose financial statements to help ensure they provide
relevant information that faithfully represents an entity’s assets, liabilities, equity,
income and expenses. The Group intends to apply the standard when it becomes
mandatory from 1 January 2027. The Group has performed an initial assessment and
identified potential changes in the presentation and disclosures, mainly affecting the
primary financial statements.
There are other standards, amendments and interpretations which have been
approved but are not yet effective. The Group expects to adopt other standards when
they become mandatory. None are expected to materially impact the Group’s financial
statements other than those referred to above.
Financial performance
This section explains the performance of the Group and details the contributions
made by the Group’s operating segments. It also describes how the Group earns
its revenue and addresses other areas that impact on profitability such as other
income, other expenses, and taxation.
3. Segment information
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting
provided to the chief operating decision-makers. The chief operating decision-makers
have been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the
Executive team of the Group.
The chief operating decision-makers assess the performance of the operating
segments based on operating profit, which reflects earnings before financing income
and expenses, share of profit from joint ventures and associate, other income, other
expenses and income tax expense. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s
length basis and segment results include items directly attributable to a segment.
No single external customer’s revenue accounts for 10% or more of the Group’s
revenue.
Operating segments
The Group comprises the following main operating segments:
Operating segmentSignificant operations
ApplesGrowing, packing, cool storing, sales and marketing of
apples worldwide.
T&G FreshGrowing, trading and transport activities within New
Zealand and Australia, and exports to the Pacific Islands,
Australia and Asia. This incorporates the New Zealand

4. Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group records revenue from the following sources:
Sale of produce
Revenue from the sale of produce is recognised either on dispatch or when the
produce has reached its destination, depending on the terms and agreements
with customers and when there is supporting evidence that control and ownership
of the produce has transferred to the customer.
Commissions
The Group acts as an agent in certain revenue generating transactions where it
facilitates the sale of produce into markets and customers. Commission revenue
is recognised in these instances when there is supporting evidence that control
and ownership of goods have transferred to the end-customer.
Services
The Group derives the majority of its service revenue through the provision
of cool storage and packing services during the growing and selling seasons.
Revenue from the provision of services is recognised simultaneously as the
services are being performed over the length of the contract or at a point-in-time
depending on the specifics of the contract.
Our businessOur yearOur performanceHigh-performanceKaitiakitangaGovernanceAppendicesIntroductionFinancials
T&G Global Annual Report 202580
ffiēāfiōāēāfiōāāfifiāō continued
Royalties
The Group recognises revenue from royalties from sales of the Group’s licenced
apple varieties. Royalties are recognised at the point-in-time the sale of licenced
apple varieties occurs.
Sale of licences
The Group records revenue from the sale of right-to-grow licences for its
premium apple varieties. A right-to-grow licence transfers the right to grow a
variety over an approved number of hectares, and the right to gain access to the
varietal plant material to growers who enter into an agreement with the Group.
Revenue from the sale of licences is recognised at the point-in-time control of
the licence transfers to a grower, which has been determined as when a grower
enters into a right-to-grow agreement with the Group. As the right-to-grow the
variety and access to varietal plant material are conferred to the grower at the
point-in-time the right-to-grow agreement is signed, revenue is recognised at this
point-in-time.
Principal and agency arrangements
The Group holds arrangements in which it acts as the principal and other
arrangements in which it acts as the agent. The following factors have been used
by the Group in distinguishing whether it acts as the principal or the agent in
specific arrangements:
■Primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to provide the goods or services
to the end customer.
■Inventory risk before goods are transferred to the end customer.
■The discretion to establish the price of goods and services above.
4. Revenue from contracts with customers continued
The key accounting judgment applied by the Group is around the determination of
the performance obligations in the right-to-grow licence agreements, when these
obligations are satisfied, and when revenue is recognised. The Group identified
two distinct performance obligations in its sale of right-to-grow licences:
■Transferring a right to obtain plant material
■Transferring a right to use brands
The right to obtain plant material is separately identifiable from other goods and
services contained in the right-to-grow and growing agreements with growers.
A grower can benefit from obtaining the plant material as once the grower is in
possession of plant material, they can plant the variety and grow fruit to generate
future economic benefits. These rights are conferred to the grower on signing
of the right-to-grow agreement and growing agreement. It is at this point in time
that the Group considers its performance obligation satisfied, and revenue is
recognised at this point in time.
When a grower enters into the agreements, the Group also transfers the right
to use certain brands when selling the variety of apples. The right to use a
brand is separately identifiable from other goods and services contained in the
agreements, and a grower can benefit from using the brand as this leads to
economic benefits for the grower. Access to the Group’s brands is an obligation
that is satisfied at a point in time and revenue is recognised as royalties at the
time licenced apple variety sales occur.

Other income
The Group recognised income from other operating and non-operating activities
during the year.
Insurance proceeds recognised of $3 million relate to the Group’s material
damage and business interruption (MDBI) claim resulting from Cyclone Gabrielle
in 2023. The judgment applied by the Group relates to the determination of which
aspects of the MDBI claim the Group has virtual certainty of coverage, in line with
the requirements of NZ IAS 37
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets
(NZ IAS 37), and therefore the ability to recognise a receivable at
balance date.
Of the total claim recognised in 2023, 2024 and 2025 of $27.9 million, $5.3 million
is recorded as a receivable as at 31 December 2025.

7. Taxation
Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the relevant taxation authorities based on the current
period’s taxable income and any adjustments in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial
reporting purposes.
Income tax is recognised in the income statement apart from when it relates to
items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case
it is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

In addition to the Group tax charge, tax of $6.7 million is charged (2024: $12.4 million
charged) directly to other comprehensive income.
(B) Reconciliation of prima facie taxation and tax expense
The taxation expense that would arise at the standard rate of corporation tax in
New Zealand is reconciled to the tax expense as follows:

Non-taxable items 82 34
Total (5,851) (3,057)
The tax charge for the year of $5.9 million (2024: $3.1 million tax charge), equates
to an effective tax rate of 27% (2024: -45%). T&G’s effective tax rate is lower than
the New Zealand statutory corporate tax rate of 28% due principally to the different
corporate tax rates applicable for T&G’s subsidiaries operating in foreign jurisdictions
which is partially offset by expenses of a capital nature in New Zealand. In 2024, the
rate of -45% was due principally to the removal of the tax deduction for building
depreciation, and expenses of a capital nature in New Zealand, partially offset by the
different corporate tax rates applicable for T&G’s subsidiaries operating in foreign
jurisdictions and the tax impact of the property sale in ENZA Fruit New Zealand
(Continent) NV.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities
on a net basis. Net deferred tax balance of $20.1 million (2024: $15.6 million) is represented by deferred tax assets of $25.7 million (2024: $19.6 million) and deferred tax
liabilities of $5.6 million (2024: $4 million). The Unrelieved Trading Losses of $68.2 million largely comprises New Zealand carried forward tax losses incurred in the current
and prior periods. It is expected there will be sufficient future earnings in New Zealand to utilise the deferred tax assets in New Zealand.

business which ceased trading in 2023 of approximately $0.8 million (2024: $0.8 million)
which are available indefinitely for offset against future profits in the Fruitmark
Australia business.
Operating assets
This section describes the assets used to operate the business and generate
revenue for the Group. Operating assets include biological assets, property, plant
and equipment, and intangible assets.
8. Biological assets
Biological assets consists of unharvested fruit growing on bearer plants, and are
stated at fair value based on their present location and condition less estimated point-
of-sale costs. Any gain or loss from changes in the fair value of biological assets is
recognised in the income statement.
Point-of-sale costs include all other costs that would be necessary to sell the assets.
The fair value of the Group’s apples, tomatoes, citrus, blueberries and stone fruit
are determined by management using a discounted cash flow approach.
Costs are based on current average costs and referenced back to industry
standard costs. The costs are variable depending on the location, planting and
the variety of the biological asset. A suitable discount rate has been determined
in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The fair value of
biological assets at or before the point of harvest is based on the value of the
estimated market price of the estimated volumes produced, net of harvesting
and growing costs. Changes in the estimates and assumptions supporting the
valuations could have a material impact on the carrying value of biological assets
and reported profit.

T&G Global Annual Report 202589
ffiēāfiōāēāfiōāāfifiāō continued
8. Biological assets continued
The following significant assumptions and considerations have been taken into
account in determining the fair value of the Group’s biological assets:
■Forecasts for the following year based on management’s view of projected cash
flows, including sales and margins, adjusted for inflation, location and variety
of crops.
■The Group has unhedged projected cash flows from sales in foreign currencies.
These have been translated to the Group’s functional currency at average
exchange rates sourced from financial institutions based on forecasted sales
profiles.
■Discount rates to adjust for risks inherent to the crop, including natural events,
disease or any other adverse factors that may impact the quality, yield or price.
■Any significant changes to management of the crop in the current and following
year.
Valuation process
Within the Group’s finance team are individuals who work closely with the Group’s
key biological asset categories during the year. These finance team members are
also responsible for performing valuations of the Group’s biological assets for
financial reporting purposes.
Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the Chief Financial
Officer and the finance team at least once every six months in line with the Group’s
reporting requirements.
The main level 3 inputs used by the Group are derived and evaluated as follows:
■Production yields, including tray carton equivalents per hectare and tonnes
per hectare, are determined based on historical production trends for each
orchard and forecasted expected yields based on the underlying age and health
of the orchards.
■Annual gate prices represent management’s assessment of expected future
returns for the biological assets based on historical trends, current market
pricing, and known market factors at balance date.
■Discount rates are determined by reference to historical trends and loss events,
and an assessment of the time value of money and any risks specific for the
current crop being valued.
■The fair value of biological assets and the level 3 inputs to the fair value model
are analysed at the end of each reporting period.
As part of the analysis, the level 3 inputs are reviewed and assessed for
reasonableness with reference to current market conditions. The calculated fair
value of biological assets is also reviewed to determine if it is a fair reflection of
management’s expected returns for each crop type.
The cash outflows used in the fair value calculation include notional cash flows for
land and bearer plants owned by the Group. They are based on market rent payable
for orchards of similar size.

Fair value measurement
Techniques applied by the Group which are used to value biological assets are considered to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Inputs are not based on observable
market data (that is, unobservable inputs). There have been no transfers between levels during the year.
The unobservable inputs used by the Group to fair value its biological assets are detailed below:

8. Biological assets continued
As the yield per hectare and gate price or export price per TCE increases, the fair
value of biological assets increases. As the discount rate used increases, the fair value
of biological assets decreases.
For the Group’s apples crop, an increase or decrease of 10% in the discount rate
would result in a fair value change of $1.3 million (2024: 10% change in discount rate
would result in fair value change of $1.1 million).
For the Group’s tomatoes, citrus, blueberry and stone fruit crops, an increase or
decrease of 10% in the discount rate would not have a material impact on the fair
value of the crop.
For the Group’s apples crop, an increase or decrease of 10% in volumes would result
in a fair value change of $3.0 million and $2.9 million respectively (2024: 10% increase
or decrease in volumes would result in a fair value change of $2.1 million). For the
Group’s tomatoes crop, an increase or decrease of 10% in volume would result in a
fair value change of $0.8 million and $0.7 million respectively (2024: 10% increase or
decrease in volumes would result in a fair value change of $1.5 million).
For the citrus, blueberries and stone fruit crops, an increase or decrease of 10% in
volumes would not have a material impact on the fair value of the crop.
Risk
Being involved in agricultural activity, the Group is exposed to financial risks arising
from adverse climatic or natural events that could impact on the Group’s biological
assets through damage to crop caused by severe weather events. As a result of
severe weather events in prior years, in 2023 the Group increased its discount rates
used to calculate the fair value of its biological assets. The discount rates were
assessed in the current year and were deemed appropriate.
The Group continues to work with research partners to develop and commercialise
new categories of fruit that can thrive in a warming climate, for example, apples
branded as TUTTI™, the world’s first specifically bred hot climate-tolerant apple variety.
Financial risk also arises through adverse changes in market prices or volumes
harvested, and adverse movements in foreign exchange rates.
Price risk is minimised by close monitoring of commodity prices and factors that
influence those commodity prices. The Group also takes reasonable measures to
ensure that harvests are not affected by climatic and natural events, disease, or any
other factors that may negatively impact on the quality and yield of crop. Foreign
currency risk is mitigated by using derivative instruments such as foreign currency
hedging contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure.

5125 Roxburgh, Ettrick Road, Ettrick, Central Otago District
In February 2024, the Group’s management committed to sell the commercial
land and building at 5125 Roxburgh, Ettrick Road, Ettrick, Central Otago. On
reclassification of the property as a non-current asset held for sale, the net book
value of the property was reduced to market value less costs to sell with $1.47 million
through asset revaluation reserves.
The property remains unsold as at 31 December 2025, though the Group’s
management is still committed to sell and has approved the Group in continuing to
market the property for sale at the same terms as previously agreed.
The Group’s management is in active negotiations with the prospective buyer, who is
currently in the process of obtaining funding to secure the purchase at a price no less
than the Group’s management-approved price. Management has assessed that the
property still meets the requirements of being classified as held for sale at the same
price, and therefore continues to classify the property as a non-current asset held for
sale as at 31 December 2025.
24.39% Investment in Grandview Brokerage LLC
In August 2024, the Group’s management committed to sell 24.39% of its investment
in Grandview Brokerage LLC for $18.22 million. The sale was completed on 1 January
2025. Refer to Note 24. On the same date, the Group acquired an additional 40%
interest in Delica North America, Inc. from Grandview Brokerage LLC for $18.22
million, increasing its ownership interest from 50% to 90%. Refer to Note 22. The
transactions were settled on a net basis and did not result in any cash consideration
being paid or received by the Group.

10. Property, plant and equipment
Commercial land and improvements, orchard land and improvements, and buildings
are stated at their fair value less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Revaluations
The Group’s policy is to revalue commercial land and improvements, orchard land
and improvements, and buildings every three years with valuations being performed
by independent registered valuers based on the price that would be received to
sell the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants under current
market conditions. Valuation assessments are performed earlier than every three
years if market evidence suggests that property values have moved materially since
the time of the last valuation assessment.
All property valuers used are members of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers,
with the exception of the valuer appointed in the United Kingdom who has the
appropriate expertise as required in the jurisdiction.
The revaluations are conducted on a systematic basis across the Group so that
the asset revaluations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the
carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined
using fair value at balance date. Where valuations are not obtained for land and
improvements, and buildings, the carrying values of these assets are reassessed for
any material change.
Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is
credited to the property’s revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses
a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised as an expense, in
which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease
previously expensed. A decrease in carrying amount arising on the revaluation of
such land and buildings is charged as an expense to the extent that it exceeds the
balance, if any, held in the property’s revaluation reserve relating to a previous
revaluation of that asset.
Depreciation
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, other than commercial and orchard
land which is not depreciated, is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to expense
the cost of the assets, or the revalued amounts, to their expected residual values
over their useful lives as follows:
AssetTime
■Commercial land improvements15 to 50 years
■Orchard land improvements15 to 50 years
■Buildings15 to 50 years
■Bearer plants7 to 40 years
■Glasshouses33 years
■Motor vehicles5 to 7 years
■Plant and equipment and hire containers3 to 15 years
Impairment
Items of property, plant and equipment are assessed for indicators of impairment
at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit
or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case
the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease and to the extent that
the impairment loss is greater than the related revaluation surplus, the excess
impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Revaluations
The methods and valuation techniques used for assessing the current market
value of commercial land and improvements, orchard land, improvements and
buildings by external valuers are disclosed on the following page. Changes in the
estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation approaches could have a
material effect on the carrying amounts of the properties, with changes in value
reflected either in other comprehensive income or through the income statement
as appropriate in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy.
The following table presents the valuers and valuation techniques of the most recent
valuation of the Group’s commercial land and improvements, and buildings. The last
revaluation was carried out in December 2025.

The principal valuation approaches used by the valuers during their valuations
of commercial land and improvements, orchard land and improvements, and
buildings, and the impact of a change in a significant unobservable valuation input
are described below:
Principal valuation approach and
description of approach
Relationships of
unobservable inputs
to fair value
Depreciation replacement cost approach
Under this approach, a cost to replace improvements
with modern equivalents is established. From
this, an allowance is deducted to allow for market-
based depreciation, encompassing physical
deterioration, functional obsolescence and economic
obsolescence. To the value of improvements, an
estimate of market value of land is added.
The higher the replacement
cost after adjustments, the
higher the fair value.
Income capitalisation approach
This approach capitalises the actual contract and/or
potential income at an appropriate market derived
rate of return. Capitalisation rates applied range from
7% to 7.1%.
The higher the capitalisation
rate, the lower the fair value.
Market comparison approach
This approach considers the sales of comparable
properties. These sales are analysed on the basis
of land value per square metre after allowing for
any improvements. Comparison against the subject
property includes making adjustments where
necessary for differences in:
■Availability of services and access
■Planning considerations
■Size, shape and contour
■Location
The higher the sale price
per square metre after
adjustments, the higher the
fair value.

Fair value measurement
Techniques applied by the Group which are used to value certain classes of
property, plant and equipment are considered to be level 3 in the fair value
hierarchy. Inputs are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable
inputs). There have been no transfers between levels during the year.
The following values represent fair value at the time of valuation, plus additions
and less disposals and accumulated depreciation, since the date of valuations.
Management have assessed that these values represent fair value.

Climate considerations
The Group has identified climate-related risks that could impact on the Group’s
property, plant and equipment through damage to commercial and orchard land and
buildings due to severe weather events, or decline in the value of the Group’s bearer
plants as existing crop could be grown in areas with declining land suitability for
horticultural activity.
In prior years, the Group wrote off assets damaged as a result of Cyclone Gabrielle
and incurred higher insurance costs to ensure it had optimal insurance programmes
in place. There was no significant event that resulted in a financial impact this year.
The Group continually assesses its risk in this area and looks for opportunities to
diversify growing regions or invest in new crop varieties that will thrive in hot and
warming climates. Continued investment in protection structures, such as hail
netting, also mitigates the risk of damage from severe weather events.
11. Intangible assets
Intangible assets, except for goodwill acquired by the Group, are stated at cost
less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Software, licences and capitalised costs of developing systems are recorded
as intangible assets, unless they are directly related to a specific item of
hardware and recorded as property, plant and equipment, and are amortised
over a period of three to eight years. Costs relating to Software-as-a-Service
arrangements that only provide the Group the right to access the suppliers
software are expensed as incurred.
Acquired brands are amortised over their anticipated useful lives of 10 to 25 years
where they have a finite life.
Goodwill is recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill
and any other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for
impairment at each balance date.

Impairment tests for goodwill
The discount rate used for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing is based
on a calculated weighted average cost of capital adjusted for risks specific to the
cash-generating units. The weighted average cost of capital is based on the cost
of debt and cost of equity weighted accordingly between the relative percentages
of debt and equity. The cost of debt is the actual cost of debt and the cost of
equity is calculated using the capital asset pricing model.
Goodwill held by the Group relates to past acquisitions of the Status Produce Group,
the Delica Group (including Delica Limited, Delica Australia Pty Limited and T&G
Vizzarri Farms Pty Limited) and Worldwide Fruit Limited.
Change in cash-generating units
During the year, the Group reassessed the identification of its cash-generating
units. This reassessment followed an internal restructuring of the Group’s operating
segments, which resulted in changes to the way management monitors performance
and allocated resources. This revised structure aligns with the Group’s current
internal reporting framework.
As a result, goodwill that was previously allocated to the ENZAFruit New Zealand
Limited cash-generating unit and the Worldwide Fruit Limited cash-generating unit
has been aggregated into the Apples cash-generating unit. The remaining cash-
generating units have been combined and aggregated into the T&G Fresh cash-
generating unit.

The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates as to future
profitability of the relevant cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated and the choice of a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of
those cash flows, based on the last approved budget projected for a further three years plus a terminal value at the end of the fourth year.
The key assumptions used for the value-in-use calculations are as follows:

Prior period comparatives have been re-presented to ensure comparability in the key assumptions at the revised CGU level.
The calculations support the carrying amount of recorded goodwill. Management believes that any reasonable change in the key assumptions used in the calculations would
not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.
Climate considerations
The Group has identified climate-related risks that could impact on the Group’s intangible assets through impairment of goodwill and plant variety rights if the Group’s current
key crop varieties reduce in viability due to the warming climate. The Group’s operations were impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle in the 2023 financial year, though this did not lead
to any impairment of the Group’s intangible assets in the previous financial year.
The Group is the strategic commercialisation partner of the Hot Climate Partnership, and in 2023, commercially launched the world’s first specifically bred hot climate-tolerant
apple. It will continue looking for opportunities to harness unique plant varieties to mitigate the risk of crop variety obsolescence due to the impact of climate-related risk.

Funding
This section focuses on how the Group funds its operations and manages its
capital structure.
12. Leases
The Group as a lessee
The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment. The Group recognises
a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease
arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases and leases
of low-value assets where the Group recognises the lease payments as an other
operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Right-of-use (ROU) assets
ROU assets comprise of the initial measurement of the corresponding lease
liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any
initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
Wherever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a
leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset
to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is
recognised and measured under NZ IAS 37
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Asset
. The costs are included in the related ROU asset, unless those
costs are incurred to produce inventories.
ROU assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life
of the underlying asset. The estimated useful lives of ROU assets are determined
on the same basis as similar owned assets within property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
The Group applies NZ IAS 36
Impairment of Assets to determine whether a
ROU asset is impaired and accounts for any identified loss under the same
policy adopted for property, plant and equipment.
Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the
measurement of the lease liability and ROU asset. The related payments are
recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that
triggers those payments occurs and are included in other operating expenses
in the income statement.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments
that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate
implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its
incremental borrowing rate (IBR).
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
■Fixed lease payments, less any lease incentives;
■Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured
using the index or rate at the commencement date;
■The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to
exercise the options; and
■Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the
exercise of an option to terminate the lease.
Our businessOur yearOur performanceHigh-performanceKaitiakitangaGovernanceAppendicesIntroductionFinancials
T&G Global Annual Report 2025105
ffiēāfiōāēāfiōāāfifiāō continued
Key judgement areas include:
■The discount rates applied; and
■The assessment of whether options to extend or terminate a lease will be
exercised.
Discount rates used include the Group’s IBR. The Group’s IBR is the average
of the borrowing rates obtained from financial institutions as if the Group had
purchased the leased asset, with the term of the borrowing similar to the lease
term. The weighted average rate applied for each leased asset class are:
Asset20252024
■Orchard land8.57%8.57%
■Property8.57%8.57%
■Glasshouses8.57%8.57%
■Motor vehicles 4.73%4.73%
■Plant and equipment 6.70%6.70%
The assessment of whether a lease contract will be extended or terminated at the
end of the lease contract is dependent on the asset class and type. For property
leases, this will be determined by the Group’s intention to exercise a contractual
right of renewal at the end of the initial lease term.
The Group has applied the following practical expedients when entering into a
new lease:
■The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar
characteristics;
■Not recognising ROU assets and liabilities for leases with a term of less than
12 months;
■Not recognising ROU assets and liabilities if the underlying leased asset is
considered a low-value asset; and
■For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-
value assets, the Group has opted to recognise a lease expense on a straight-
line basis as permitted by NZ IFRS 16
Leases. This expense is presented within
other operating expenses in the income statement.
Lease liabilities are presented as a separate line in the balance sheet and are
subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on
the lease (using the effective interest method) and reducing the carrying amount
to reflect the lease payments made.
The Group remeasures the lease liability if:
■The lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise
of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by
discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate;
■Lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate, in which case the
lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using
the initial discount rate; or
■A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as
a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting
the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

Climate considerations
The Group has identified climate-related risks that could impact on the carrying value of the Group’s right-of-use assets through either damage to growing operations as a
result of severe weather events, or decline in land suitability for growing existing crop categories due to adverse temperature changes.
The Group continues to explore diversification of growing regions to mitigate the impact of decline in land suitability and damage as a result of severe weather events.

Working capital
This section reviews the level of working capital the Group generates through its
operating activities. The working capital items described below include trade and
other receivables, inventories, and trade and other payables.
19. Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any expected credit loss
allowance.
The following categories of trade and other receivables are subject to the expected
credit loss model:
■Trade receivables
■Loan receivables
■Related party receivables including receivables from Ultimate Parent and
associates of the Ultimate Parent
■Receivables from joint ventures
The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses
which uses a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, related
party receivables and receivables from joint ventures as they all display the same
risk profile. Related party receivables are mainly trade in nature and are on terms
consistent with external customers.
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of
default, loss given default and the estimated exposure at default. The Group
considers an event of default as occurring when information obtained (internally
and externally) indicates a debtor (this includes trade receivables and receivables
from related parties) is unlikely to pay its creditors including the Group. The
assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical
data adjusted by forward looking information relating to the debtor and general
economic conditions of the debtors. As for the estimated exposure at default, this is
represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date.

Although the Group has a number of receivables aged more than 30 days past due,
the risk of financial loss is mitigated as the Group has a policy of only dealing with
creditworthy customers and requires security to be taken for advances to third
parties. Creditworthiness and customer limits are determined by reference to credit
ratings and country ratings provided by the Group’s credit insurer. The Group’s
exposure and the credit ratings of its customers are continuously monitored.
All trade and other receivables are individually reviewed regularly for impairment as
part of normal operating procedures and provided for where appropriate.

19. Trade and other receivables continued
The Group has numerous credit terms for various customers. These credit terms vary
depending on the services provided and the customer relationship. A receivable is
considered impaired if there has been any indication of significant financial difficulties
for the customer or default or late payments more than 90 days overdue, unless there
are prior arrangements.
The Group makes advances to customers, suppliers and joint ventures. All advances
are within the agreed credit periods. The Group’s policy requires security to be
taken for advances to third parties. This security ranges from charges over property
and assets, to personal guarantees. The Group does not hold any collateral over
these balances.
Included in the provision for expected credit loss allowance are individually impaired
receivables amounting to $0.4 million (2024: $0.1 million) for certain balances being
past due. The remaining loss allowance balance represents the expected amount of
default from customers as well as advances made to customers, suppliers and joint
ventures over their lifetime based on historical trends of defaults from customers and
forward looking information.
The following table details the risk profile of amounts due from customers based on
the Group’s provision matrix. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does
not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the
provision for expected credit loss allowance based on past due status is not further
distinguished between the Group’s different customer base.

24. Investments in unlisted entities
The fair value of the Group’s investments in unlisted entities is determined using
an income-based valuation approach.
As the unlisted entities are not publicly traded and there are no observable
market prices for identical or comparable instruments, fair value is determined
using a capitalisation of maintainable earnings methodology. Maintainable
earnings before interest and tax are multiplied by an appropriate earnings multiple
to determine enterprise value. Enterprise value is adjusted for net debt to derive
the equity value.
The earnings multiple applied is determined using the forecasts of the unlisted
entity for the following year based on management’s view of projected cash flows,
including sales and margins, adjusted for inflation. Discount rates are used to
adjust for risks inherent to the performance of the unlisted entities.
Valuations are performed at each reporting date using financial information
provided from the financial reporting team of the unlisted entities and reviewed
by senior finance management, in line with the Group’s reporting requirements.
The key unobservable inputs used in determining fair value are detailed below:
Unobservable input2025 (’000)
EBIT$16,241
EBIT multiple12.6x
Average net debt$76,842
Fair value measurement
Techniques applied by the Group which are used to value investments in unlisted
entities are considered to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Inputs are not
based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
Effective from 1 January 2025, the Group sold 24.39% of its shareholding in
Grandview Brokerage LLC, reducing its ownership interest from 39% to 15%. As a
result, the Group no longer has significant influence over Grandview Brokerage LLC
as defined in NZ IAS 28
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.
As such, the Group discontinued the application of the equity method and remeasured
the retained 15% interest to fair value on the date significant influence was lost.
The retained interest has been recognised as a financial asset in accordance with
NZ IFRS 9
Financial Instruments and has been designated at fair value through other
comprehensive income. The investment is classified as Investments in unlisted
entities on the balance sheet and is classified as a level 3 financial instrument in the
fair value hierarchy. If the Group changed the EBIT multiple, an increase or decrease
of 1.0x with all other variables held constant would result in a fair value change of
$2.4 million.
Subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income are not subsequently
recycled to income statement and dividends received from the investments are
recognised in the income statement.

26. Financial risk management
The Group is subject to a number of financial risks which arise as a result of its
activities, including importing, exporting and domestic trading. Treasury activities
are performed by a central treasury function and the use of derivative financial
instruments is governed by the Group’s policies approved by the Board. The Group
does not engage in speculative transactions.
Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and has exposure to foreign currency risk as
a result of transactions denominated in foreign currencies from normal trading
activities. Major trading currencies include the Australian Dollar, United States Dollar,
Euro, Japanese Yen and British Pound.
The Group’s foreign currency risk management policies are designed to protect
the Group from exchange rate volatilities as they relate to future foreign currency
payments or foreign currency receipts, and the protection of profit margins at the time
foreign currency exposures are created or recognised.
To manage foreign currency risk, the Group utilises hedging instruments in the
form of spot foreign exchange contracts, forward foreign exchange contracts, and
currency options. Any other financial instrument must be specifically approved by the
Finance, Risk, and Investment Committee (FRIC) on a case-by-case basis. Contracts
are entered into within parameters determined by the Group’s Treasury Policy and
contracts generally do not exceed two years.
For hedges of highly probable forecast sales and purchases, as the critical terms of
the hedge contracts and the corresponding hedged items are the same, the Group
performs a qualitative assessment of hedge effectiveness. It is expected that the
value of the contract and the value of the corresponding hedged item will change in
opposite directions in response to movements in underlying exchange rates.
The main source of hedge ineffectiveness in the Group’s hedging relationships are
in the timing of cash flows, and differences in the timing of implementation of hedge
contracts.

The Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts and currency options to manage
these exposures with the main exposure relating to its Apples export business. As at
31 December 2025, the Group held foreign exchange contracts and currency options
with a contract value of $461 million (2024: $483 million).
The below tables highlight the foreign exchange cover in place, average exchange
rates, notional foreign currency and New Zealand dollar value of the contracts as at

Contracts are entered into within parameters determined by the Group’s Treasury Policy and contracts generally do not
exceed two years, except if specifically approved by the FRIC. Inconsistencies to parameters determined by the Group’s
Treasury Policy are approved by the Board of Directors. Policy dictates that by the end of December 2025, hedging should be
in place for 10%-70% of 2026’s remittances, 0%-50% of 2027 remittances, and 0%-20% of 2028’s forecasted remittances.

Exchange rate sensitivity
Reasonable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates were determined based on a review
of the last two years’ historical movements. A movement of plus or minus 10% has
therefore been applied to the exchange rates to demonstrate the sensitivity to foreign
currency risk of the Group.
The following sensitivity is based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence
at the balance date. The impact of a plus or minus 10% foreign exchange movement
on New Zealand dollars against all trading currencies, with all other variables held
constant, is illustrated below:

Equity(44,327)(45,322)36,23836,584
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at both fixed and floating
interest rates.
Interest rate risk is identified by forecasting cash flow requirements, short-term
through to long-term. Short-term seasonal funding is provided by a syndicate of six
banks. These funding arrangements are negotiated at the start of each season, on
behalf of apple growers who bear the interest cost.
The Group has floating rate borrowings used to fund ongoing activities which are
repriced on roll-over dates.
As at 31 December 2025, $154 million of interest bearing loans are subject to interest
rate repricing within the next 12 months (2024: $180 million).

Interest rate derivatives
The Group’s treasury policy allows up to 100% (2024: 100%) of forecasted term
facility debt to be fixed via interest rate derivatives to protect the Group from exposure
to fluctuations in interest rates. Accordingly, the Group has entered into interest rate
swap contracts under which it is obliged to receive interest at variable rates and to pay
interest at fixed rates.
Swaps currently in place cover approximately 88% (2024: 75%) of the forecasted
core debt. The fixed interest rates average 4.1% (2024: 3.7%). The variable rates are
set at the bank bill rate 90 day settlement rate, which at balance date was 2.5% (2024
4.4%). The contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable each
90 days as appropriate, and are settled on a net basis. As at 31 December 2025, the
Group held swaps with a contract value of $135 million (2024: $135 million).
Hedge effectiveness is tested by matching critical terms for prospective testing
and cumulative dollar offset for retrospective tests. The potential sources of hedge
ineffectiveness are timing of cash flows, and differences in timing of implementation
of the hedge contract.
26. Financial risk management continued
Interest rate sensitivity
At 31 December 2025, $154 million (2024: $180 million) of loans are at fixed rates
for defined periods of up to three months, after which interest rates will be reset.
Additionally, the Group has overnight deposits that are subject to fluctuations of
interest rates. If the Group’s loan and deposit balances at 31 December had remained
the same throughout the year and interest rates moved by 1% then the impact would
be a $1.5 million gain or loss on pre-tax profits (2024: $1.8 million).
A 1% (2024: 1%) sensitivity has been used as this is what management estimates is
a likely range within which interest rates will move for the year.
(iii) Commodity price risk
The Group does not trade in commodity instruments and therefore is not exposed
to commodity price risk.
Our businessOur yearOur performanceHigh-performanceKaitiakitangaGovernanceAppendicesIntroductionFinancials
T&G Global Annual Report 2025126
ffiēāfiōāēāfiōāāfifiāō continued
Credit risk
In the normal course of business, the Group is exposed to counterparty credit risks.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at 31 December 2025 is equal to the carrying
value for cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, derivative financial
instruments and a guarantee claimable of $6.5 million (2024: $3.4 million) in the
event the guarantee in Note 28 is called. Credit risk is managed by restricting the
amount of cash and derivative financial instruments which can be placed with any one
institution and these institutions are all New Zealand registered banks with at least a
Standard & Poor’s rating of A. The financial condition and credit evaluation of trade
and loan receivables, receivables from joint ventures, associates and related parties
are continuously considered.
Due to the nature and dispersion of the Group’s customers and growers, the Group’s
concentration of credit risk is not considered significant.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring cash flows and forecasts
and matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Group also
maintains adequate headroom on its loan facilities.
Policies are established to ensure all obligations are met within a timely and cost-
effective manner.
The table on the next page analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant
contractual maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance date to
the contractual maturity date. For the purpose of this table, it is assumed that year
end interest rates applicable to the term loan will apply through to expiry of the term
loan facility, even though the Group has the option to repay the loan prior to its expiry
date. For cash flow hedges, the impact on the profit and loss is expected to occur at
the same time as the cash flows occur.
The amounts disclosed for financial guarantees are the maximum amounts the Group
could be forced to settle under the arrangement for the full guaranteed amount if that
amount is claimed by the counterparty to the guarantee.

Capital risk management
The main objective of capital risk management is to ensure the Group operates as a
going concern, meeting debts as they fall due, maintaining the best possible capital
structure and reducing the cost of capital. Group capital consists of share capital,
other reserves and retained earnings. To maintain or alter the capital structure, the
Group has the ability to review the size of dividends paid to shareholders, return
capital or issue new shares, reduce or increase debt, or sell assets.
There are a number of externally imposed bank financial covenants required as part
of seasonal and term debt facilities. These covenants are calculated monthly and
reported to the banks on a monthly and quarterly basis.
The key covenants are as follows:
Financial covenantsRequirement imposed
Contingent liabilitiesContingent liabilities of the Group shall not at any time
exceed 6% (2024: 6%) of total tangible assets of the Group.
Interest cover ratioThe interest cover ratio of the Group shall at all times be
equal to or exceed 2.25 times (2024: 2.25 times).
Leverage ratioThe leverage ratio shall not exceed the specified ratio as
at the end of each quarter. This ratio ranges from 4.00:1 to
4.50:1. (2024: 4.00:1 to 4.50:1).
Seasonal facility stock
and debtors cover ratio
Seasonal facility stock and debtors cover ratio of the Group
shall at all times be equal to or exceed 1.50:1 (2024: 1.50:1).
Tangible assets of
Guaranteeing Group
The total value of the tangible assets of the Guaranteeing
Group are not less than 90% of the total tangible assets of
the Consolidated Group, calculated as if Worldwide Fruit
Limited, Delica North America, Inc. and T&G Vizzarri Farms
Pty Limited are associate companies and not subsidiaries of
the Group.
The Group complied with all financial covenants during the year.

Seasonality
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the risk profile at 31 December is not representative of all risks faced during the year. Seasonality causes large fluctuations in the
size of borrowings and debtors.
Financial instruments by category
The classification of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities depends on
the purpose for which the assets were acquired or liabilities were incurred.
Management determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at
initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every balance date.
Financial assets and financial liabilities classed as measured at amortised cost
are carried at amortised cost less any impairment. Financial assets measured at
amortised cost includes cash and cash equivalents which comprises cash balances
and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an
integral part of the Group’s cash management are included in current liabilities in
the balance sheet and as a financial liability measured at amortised cost, unless
there is a right of offset, and included as a component of cash and cash equivalents
in the statement of cash flows.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially
recognised at fair value. Realised and unrealised gains arising from changes in fair
value are included in the income statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities classed as derivatives for hedging are
recognised at fair value. The Group recognises the effective portion of changes in
the fair value of derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges
in other comprehensive income (OCI). Gains or losses relating to the ineffective
portion of a cash flow hedge are recognised in the income statement. Amounts
taken to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged
transaction affects the income statement.
Investments in unlisted entities are carried at fair value and classified as fair value
through other comprehensive income as they are not held for trading. Unrealised
gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other
comprehensive income, except for dividends from those investments which are
recognised in profit or loss. When investments in unlisted entities are sold, the
accumulated fair value adjustments are recycled directly through retained earnings.

Fair value measurement
Techniques applied by the Group which use methods and assumptions to
estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are considered to be level
2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of derivative instruments designated in a hedging relationship is
determined using the following valuation techniques:
■Foreign currency forward exchange contracts have been fair valued using
quoted forward exchange rates and discounted using yield curves from quoted
interest rates that match the maturity dates of the contracts.
■Foreign currency option contracts have been fair valued using observable
option volatilities, and quoted forward exchange and interest rates that match
the maturity dates of the contracts.
Interest rate swaps are fair valued by discounting the future interest and principal
cash flows using current market interest rates that match the maturity dates of
the contracts. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market
data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or
indirectly (that is, derived from prices). There have been no transfers between
levels during the year.
The estimated fair values of all of the Group’s other financial assets and liabilities
approximate their carrying values.
26. Financial risk management continued
27. Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are used to hedge exchange rate and interest
rate risks. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value.
Any resulting gains or losses are recognised in the income statement unless the
derivative financial instrument has been designated into a hedge relationship that
qualifies for hedge accounting.
Cash flow hedges
Cash flow hedges are currently applied to forecast transactions that are subject
to foreign currency fluctuations and future interest cash flow on loans. The Group
recognises the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial
instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income.
These accumulate as a separate component of equity in the cash flow hedge
reserve.
Gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge are
recognised in the income statement in other operating expenses. Amounts taken
to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction
affects the income statement in revenue and cost of goods sold.

Non-cancellable operating leases receivables
The Group as a lessor
Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other
leases are classified as operating leases.
Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a
straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. All properties leased to
third parties under operating leases are included in the ‘Buildings’ category within
‘Property, plant and equipment’ on the balance sheet. They are depreciated over
their expected useful lives on a basis consistent with similar property, plant and
equipment.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at
the amount of the Group’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is
allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return
on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Appendix 2:
Materiality: defining what matters
Our materiality assessment
Materiality assessments are widely used in business to inform strategic sustainability
priorities, ensuring they reflect the needs of stakeholders and the topics and issues
that matter most to them. They are also a prerequisite for sustainability reporting
referencing the GRI Standards. T&G conducted its assessment in 2022. From this, the
top five material topics for T&G are:
Sustainable financial
performance
Ensuring sustainable financial growth and performance,
made up of the three pillars: economic, environmental and
social. Returning fair value to growers.
Product qualityDelivering a high-quality, premium product to customers and
consumers.
Resilient and ethical
supply chain
Supply chain management, including mitigating supply chain
risk (e.g. modern slavery).
Customer and
consumer needs
Meeting customer requirements. Consumer preference
and brand awareness. Impacts from changing customer or
consumer needs, impact from unstable economic environment.
Climate change and
resilience
Understanding and adapting to the impacts on the business
directly, or indirectly, from a changing climate, such as
increased temperatures, extreme weather events and
increased biosecurity risks.
These material topics help inform our business and sustainability strategies and
actions. T&G’s wider business strategy incorporates management of topics including
sustainable financial performance, product quality, and customer and consumer
needs. The remaining topics are incorporated in our Kaitiakitanga sustainability
framework.
Information on the process we undertook to determine our materiality assessment
can be found on pages 149-150 of the 2022 Annual Report. This can be found on the
investor section (https://tandg.global/investors/reporting/) of our website.

MARKET UPDATE
27 February 2026
Premium apple demand underpins positive T&G Global result
At a glance:
• Total revenue: $1.6 billion, up from $1.4 billion
• Operating profit: $46.9 million, up from $12.7 million
• Net profit before income tax $21.9 million, up from $6.8 million loss
• Net profit after income tax $16.0 million, up from $9.9 million loss
T&G Global Limited’s strategy to capture the global opportunities in the premium apple market
clearly demonstrated its value in the year ended 31 December 2025.
Demand for ENVY™ and JAZZ™ apples in North America, the United Kingdom and across Asia
saw the business grow revenue by 14% to $1.6 billion, with an operating profit of $46.9 million, an
increase of 269% on the prior year.
Dedicated in-market teams successfully grew consumer awareness, preference and sales. This
rewarded the confidence shown by growers in T&G’s premium apple portfolio, supported by an
integrated orchard-to-market supply chain designed to get apples to consumers in peak condition.
T&G Global Chair, Benedikt Mangold, said in all key markets, demand for premium, branded
apples continued to grow, with the global category forecast to rise to $52.7 billion by 2035 – a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.
“We are confident our premium branded apple portfolio can exceed this, with a projected CAGR of
8.4% over the same period. Urban growth, higher disposable incomes and health-conscious
lifestyles are underpinning demand for fruit which is consistent in quality, appearance and flavour,”
said Mr Mangold.
Apples revenue rose 22% to $1.0 billion, with the business achieving an operating profit of $74.7
million, compared to $37.8 million in the year prior.
Chief Executive Officer, Gareth Edgecombe, said continued investment in T&G’s end-to-end
Apples supply chain ensured the business was confident of its ability to increase sales volumes
and drive value growth. Investments included partnering with Roc Partners to develop 40 hectares
of orchards planting ENVY™ and JOLI™ apples, with T&G leasing the orchards.
“Across Aotearoa New Zealand, we have now licensed 273 hectares of our premium new JOLI™
apple. The brand taps into a valuable and unmet global consumer opportunity – the family sharing
occasion, and through consumer testing, JOLI™ apples have performed exceptionally well with
consumers indicating their willingness to pay a premium. By 2035, we expect to have 1,500
hectares planted globally,” said Mr Edgecombe.
“With increased supply of our premium apple brands, we have allocated capex at our Hawke’s Bay
and Nelson post-harvest facilities so we are well placed to manage increased volumes as new
plantings come on stream.”
Trading conditions improved slightly for T&G Fresh, with cost reductions and operational
efficiencies helping to offset consumer demand, which was constrained by cost-of-living pressures.
T&G Fresh revenue was $461.0 million compared with $455.3 million in 2024, with an operating
profit of $19.6 million compared to $3.6 million in the prior year.
“The result benefitted from the 2024 acquisition of Hinton’s stone fruit business
and the expansion of blueberries in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, which align with T&G
Fresh’s focus on investing in categories we can lead, innovate and grow,” said Mr Edgecombe.
“At the same time, we’ve achieved sustainable performance gains through an ongoing focus on
supply chain efficiencies across T&G Fresh.”
VentureFruit delivered an operating loss of $2.4 million, compared to last year’s profit of $1.6
million. This business’ revenue was $9.0 million, down from $9.8 million in 2024.
Despite economic conditions reducing external growers’ planting activities, VentureFruit made
excellent progress scaling its business in apples and berries.
“With strong global demand for berries, VentureFruit has accelerated its growth in this high-value
category by introducing its portfolio of superior blueberry and Rubus genetics into North America,
supported by an extensive testing network and two new strategic partnerships.
“At the same time, it has introduced berry genetics into South America, Europe and China, and
secured exclusive access for T&G Fresh to plant INSPIRE strawberries in Northland, alongside our
exclusive high-yielding jumbo blueberries at T&G Kaikohe Berryfruit Limited Partnership,” said Mr
Edgecombe.
VentureFruit continues to license its portfolio of premium apple varieties and brands, including 300
hectares of TUTTI™ apples to Joy Wing Mau in China this year.
Mr Mangold said the year’s results were very pleasing, coming from a well-considered and
executed strategy that is delivering on expectations as the premium apple sector globally enters a
strong growth phase.
“Importantly, our performance lift comes not as a result of one-time events or unusually favourable
conditions. Instead, our results are due to strong execution across the Group, consistent attention
to costs and efficiencies, and our prior investments in our growth strategy,” said Mr Mangold.
“The momentum achieved this year with our growth strategy will accelerate next year to benefit our
business, our growers, suppliers, customers, consumers and shareholders.”
