BLIS Technologies Limited
Annual Shareholder Meeting 2026
Chair’s Address
Slide 1 - Introduction
Good morning, and welcome everyone to the BLIS Technologies Limited Annual Shareholder
Meeting for 2026. My name is Alison Stewart, and I am Chair of the Board for BLIS Technologies.
On behalf of my fellow directors, our Chief Executive, Scott Johnson, and all of the BLIS team, it is my
pleasure to welcome you all here today in person and to those of you attending online.
This is my first Annual Shareholder Meeting as Chair, having taken on the role in October 2025. I
would like to acknowledge Geoff Plunket, who stood down as Chair last October after just over four
years in the role, and who retired from the Board in March 2026 after eight years of service. Geoff's
leadership was instrumental in advancing BLIS' strategic growth and strengthening our governance,
and on behalf of the Board and the wider BLIS team, I thank him sincerely.
Slide 2 – Question and Voting Process
Today we are providing both an in person and online attendance option for shareholders. It is
pleasing once again to have so many shareholders join us online today, and to see so many of you in

A quick Health & Safety note - for those of you here with us, in the unlikely event of an emergency
the building needs to be evacuated, please evacuate via the emergency exit doorways indicated.
Follow the signs to the main staircase and out to the front entrance by the nearest assembly point.
Slide 3 – Meeting Agenda
The agenda for this morning will include an overview from myself of the company’s performance for
the year to 31 March 2026. Scott Johnson, our CEO, will then provide you with a deeper review of
the results, and on progress against our strategic plan.
There will then be an opportunity for shareholders to ask questions. We will first take questions
from those in attendance here today and then any questions posted online that have not already
been covered by responses to previous answers.
Following this we will then move to the formal business of the meeting. At that point I will outline
the process for the discussion and voting on the three resolutions set out in the agenda.
At the meeting’s conclusion, for those of you here with us we would be delighted if you would join
the directors and the BLIS team for light refreshments and further discussions.
Slide 4 – Board of Directors - Introductions
Before reviewing the company’s performance, I would first like to introduce our Board. Their profiles
are available on the BLIS Technologies website and are also included within the annual report.
Myself, Alison Stewart, joined the Board in September 2018 and became Chair in October 2025. I
bring substantial experience in research, development and innovation within the international
biotechnology industry.

in Nelson, with a background in advertising, marketing and governance.
Dr Barry Richardson joined the board in 2018. Barry has a science background and brings both BLIS
specific and international biotechnology and nutritional dairy industry experience to the board.
Paul Munro was appointed to the Board in March 2026 and is currently Chair of the Audit and Risk
Committee. Paul brings extensive financial, commercial and governance experience, including his
prior role with Deloitte as a Corporate Finance Partner and CEO of Christchurch City Holdings
Limited, and his current directorships of Scales Corporation Limited, New Zealand King Salmon

Symrise Care and Wellness and was previously CEO of Probi. Anita has a background in
pharmaceuticals and has held leadership positions in various global consumer healthcare companies
and is a board member of both the International Association of Probiotics (IPA) and IPA Europe.
Slide 5 – FY26 Summary - Results
It is pleasing to report that BLIS had strong revenue and underlying earnings growth for the year
ended 31 March 2026. Revenue for the year was $14.7m, a 16% increase on the prior year.
Underlying EBITDA was $1.8m, up 83%, and underlying net profit after tax was $1.6m, up 90%.
These underlying results adjust for a one-off supply chain cost increase of $0.9m incurred during the
year. On a reported basis, EBITDA was $0.9m, compared to $1.0m in FY25, and net profit after tax
was $0.7m, compared to $0.8m in FY25.
The financial year was marked by disciplined commercial execution, meaningful progress on key
strategic partnerships, and the resolution of the significant intellectual property matter that had
carried over from FY25.
Revenue growth was underpinned by strong growth across our B2B ingredient and private label
revenues, together with continued B2C momentum, particularly in the New Zealand wholesale
channel.
BLIS continues to be in a strong financial position, with cash and short-term deposits of $8.5m at 31
March 2026. This is down from $9.7m in FY25, reflecting an investment in inventory during the
period
Management is currently refreshing the company’s long term growth plan and capital requirements
for presentation to the Board in December. Following the Board’s consideration, we expect to
update shareholders on this plan.
While these long term capital requirements are yet to be confirmed, the Directors have agreed not
to propose a distribution.
In reviewing the capital structure of the company, the Directors announced yesterday to invoke the
Minimum Shareholding Provisions set out in the NZX Listing Rules and the Company's constitution.
BLIS recognises that it is difficult for some shareholders to sell small parcels of shares because the
cost of brokerage can be disproportionately high relative to the value of their shareholding.
Maintaining a large number of small shareholdings also involves ongoing registry and administration
costs for BLIS. The Board considers that the implementation of a minimum holding requirement will
assist BLIS to maintain an efficient share register.
Thanks for your attention I will now hand over to our CEO Scott Johnson.

CEO Address
Slide 6 – CEO Address (Handover to Scott)
Thank you, Alison,
Good morning everyone, and thank you for joining us today, whether you're here in person or
participating online.
On behalf of the Leadership Team, I'd like to thank all of our shareholders for your continued
support of BLIS.
FY26 was an important year for our business. It was a year where we demonstrated that BLIS can
continue to grow while remaining disciplined in how we operate.
Although our reported earnings were impacted by a significant one-off increase in supply chain
costs, the underlying performance of the business strengthened materially.
During the year we grew revenue by 16%, strengthened profitability on an underlying basis,
expanded our intellectual property portfolio, progressed our China regulatory programme, further
strengthened our partnership with Probi and finished the year with a strong balance sheet.
Just as importantly, we continued investing in the long-term capabilities that will support future
growth.
Today I'd like to take you beyond the headline result and explain what is happening inside BLIS,
where we are seeing growth, and how we are continuing to build a stronger and more scalable
business.
Slide 7 - BLIS Executive Team
Before discussing the business in more detail, I'd like to introduce the BLIS Leadership Team, who
are here today representing all areas of the business.
● Richard Wingham – Chief Financial Officer
● Jennifer Walker – Chief Revenue Officer
● Dr John Hale – Chief Technology Officer
● Ashleigh Childs – Head of People, Culture and PMO
● Melissa Drysdale – Head of Quality
BLIS Technologies Limited
399 Moray Place, Dunedin, New Zealand, 9016
blis.co.nz
info@blis.co.nz
Together they bring expertise across science, commercial, finance, operations, quality and people.
Every result we are discussing today reflects the work of this team and the wider BLIS organisation.
I'd like to thank them, and all of our employees, for their commitment throughout FY26.
Slide 8 – Global market snapshot
Before discussing our own performance, it's useful to step back and consider the market we operate
in.
The global probiotic dietary supplement market continues to experience strong structural growth.
Consumers are increasingly focused on preventative health, microbiome science and clinically
supported products – trends that align directly with BLIS' strengths.
The market is estimated at approximately $14 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach more than
$24 billion by 2031. Asia-Pacific remains the largest regional market, followed by North America and
Europe.
BLIS already has commercial positions and established partners across all three regions. Our
opportunity is not simply to participate in a growing category; it is to convert our science,
intellectual property and partnerships into sustainable commercial growth.
Slide 9 – FY26 Financial performance
Turning now to our financial performance.
As Alison has outlined, FY26 represented another year of strong revenue growth, with revenue
increasing 16% to $14.7 million.
Underlying EBITDA increased 83% to $1.8 million and underlying net profit after tax increased 90%
to $1.6 million. These underlying measures adjust for the one-off $0.9 million increase in supply
chain costs and provide a clearer view of the operating performance of the business.
We also finished the year with cash and deposits of $8.5 million. That balance sheet strength gives
us flexibility to continue investing in science, product development, strategic partnerships and the
capabilities required for future growth.
For me, the important point is that the underlying business strengthened while we continued to
invest for the future.
Slide 10 – FY26 Financial performance
This slide provides more insight into the quality of that performance.
BLIS Technologies Limited
399 Moray Place, Dunedin, New Zealand, 9016
blis.co.nz
info@blis.co.nz
Revenue is becoming increasingly diversified across both geography and channels. EMEA
represented 31% of FY26 revenue, New Zealand 30%, Asia-Pacific excluding New Zealand 24%, and
North America 15%.
Our channel mix also continued to move toward B2B, which represented 68% of revenue in FY26,
with B2C at 32%.
Operating cash flow reflects a deliberate investment in inventory to protect continuity of supply
following the one-off raw ingredient price increase.
Beyond the financial metrics, we continued investing in the foundations of the business. During the
year our science team contributed to 20 publications relating to our strains, attended or presented
at 17 conferences, and we secured two new patents. Our China regulatory programme also
continued to advance.
These are important investments because they strengthen the science, IP and market access that
underpin BLIS' long-term competitive position.
Slide 11 – Revenue and Market Performance – B2B
B2B remains the largest part of our business and was the primary driver of growth in FY26.
B2B revenue increased 22% to $9.9 million and now represents around 68% of total company
revenue.
Ingredient revenue was $7.3 million, up 17%, supported by strong EMEA orders, new customer
launches and the establishment of a new South Korean customer.
Royalty revenue increased 17% to $1.3 million, while private label revenue increased 67% to $1.3
million, led by growth from our Chinese partner into the offline professional health market.
What is encouraging here is that growth is not dependent on a single customer, market or revenue
stream. We are increasingly building multiple sources of commercial growth around our core science
and strains.
Slide 12 – Revenue and Market Performance – B2C
Turning to our consumer business.
B2C complements our B2B strategy by building the BLIS brand, creating direct consumer
engagement and providing valuable consumer insights that can also support our wider commercial
proposition.
BLIS Technologies Limited
399 Moray Place, Dunedin, New Zealand, 9016
blis.co.nz
info@blis.co.nz
B2C revenue was $4.8 million. New Zealand wholesale was the standout performer, growing 20%,
with strong product ranging and an increasing focus on dental products. Amazon US continued to
grow despite tariffs, and our BLIS webstore also grew.
China cross-border e-commerce reduced following a deliberate pricing reset and the managed exit
of smaller daigou resellers as part of our evolving China strategy.
We are focused on building a healthier and more sustainable consumer business rather than
pursuing revenue at any cost.
Slide 13 – Intellectual Property and Market Risks
One of the important achievements of FY26 was strengthening the foundations of the business.
We resolved the intellectual property matter with Bluestone Pharma and Lactosan, with the relevant
patent applications now jointly owned, and secured a five-year extension to the existing BSP supply
agreement.
We also secured two new patents covering antiviral applications of BLIS K12 and BLIS M18 and
enhanced formulations combining our probiotic strains with specific prebiotic sugars.
Our China regulatory pathway continued to advance, with the key clinical trial underway, and we
expanded our agreement with Probi across the USA, Canada and certain EMEA markets, as well as
into pet nutrition.
Collectively, these developments strengthen BLIS' competitive position and create additional
pathways for future commercial growth.
Slide 14 – Strategic focus and Execution
Our priorities remain clear and consistent.
We continue to focus on our core strains, BLIS K12 and BLIS M18; deepen our partnership with Probi;
progress the China regulatory pathway; and invest in research, innovation and the BLIS brand.
What I hope you can see from the progress we've made is that BLIS is becoming a stronger and more
scalable business.
We are building more routes to market, deeper global partnerships, a stronger technology and IP
base, greater supply resilience and a brand that can support both our B2B and consumer businesses.
Those are the building blocks we believe can support the next stage of BLIS' growth.
BLIS Technologies Limited
399 Moray Place, Dunedin, New Zealand, 9016

info@blis.co.nz
Slide 15 – BLIS Strategic plan
Our strategic plan provides the framework for how we build that business.
Our purpose remains being the best at developing probiotic solutions for the health and wellbeing of
global consumers, and our vision is to be recognised globally as the preferred partner and leader in
oral probiotic innovation.
We deliver on this by creating technology blocks, growing global partnerships and building the BLIS
brand, underpinned by the right people, secure supply, and quality processes and systems.
These are not separate initiatives. They are interconnected capabilities that allow us to turn our
science into sustainable commercial growth at greater scale.
Our values – Our Mana, Customer First, Make It Happen and One Team – continue to guide how we
work and how we build the company.
Slide 16: ESG and Culture
Strong and sustainable businesses are built on strong cultures.
During FY26 we progressed our B Corp assessment, maintained our MyGreen Lab GREEN
certification, continued investing in leadership capability through our Leading at BLIS programme,
and achieved seven years without a lost-time injury.
We also completed a full external health and safety audit, with all recommended actions addressed.
We were also proud to be shortlisted for the 2026 Best Places to Work Awards and to win the Forbes
Packaging Marketing Award for our BLIS M18 campaign at the Natural Health Products NZ Industry
Awards – external recognition of both the strength of our culture and the quality of our work.
I'd like to thank every member of the BLIS team for their contribution to these outcomes and for
helping create a culture we are proud of.
Slide 17: Supply Chain
The one-off raw ingredient price increase reduced reported earnings during FY26, but securing
continuity of supply was the right decision for the business and our customers.
Management responded by increasing inventory and progressing work with an additional
fermentation partner to strengthen long-term supply resilience.
BLIS Technologies Limited
399 Moray Place, Dunedin, New Zealand, 9016
blis.co.nz
info@blis.co.nz
Combined with the extended BSP supply agreement, these actions broaden our supply options and
leave BLIS in a stronger operational position.
As the business grows, secure and scalable supply becomes increasingly important, and this remains
a key area of focus.
Slide 18 – Closing and outlook
I'll finish by looking briefly at FY27.
For the quarter ended 30 June 2026, BLIS reported unaudited revenue of $5.1 million and EBITDA of
$1.1 million.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on accelerating growth in key markets through the right partners,
advancing research and development and IP protection, investing in the BLIS brand, strengthening
our operating capabilities, and maintaining financial discipline.
Our expectation remains for FY27 revenue growth of between 10 and 15 percent.
We enter FY27 with confidence. Demand for science-backed oral probiotics continues to grow, and
BLIS is well placed to benefit from that growth.
FY26 demonstrated that the underlying business is strengthening. We have more routes to market,
stronger partnerships, an expanding science and IP base, and a strong balance sheet from which to
invest.
Our focus now is on converting those foundations into sustainable, profitable growth and continuing
to build a larger and more scalable BLIS.
Finally, I'd like to thank our employees, customers, commercial partners and shareholders for your
continued support.
FY26 was a strong step forward for BLIS, and we look forward to updating you on our continued
progress throughout FY27.
Thank you.
