Investor Presentation summary
9 Sep, 2025Company overview and strategic advantages
Operates as one of the world's largest vertically integrated olive oil producers, with major groves and mills in Australia and the USA, and owns leading brands Cobram Estate® and Red Island®.
Proprietary Oliv.iQ® system enables higher yields, lower costs, and superior sustainability compared to global peers.
Holds approximately 2.6 million olive trees in Australia and 794,000 in California, with significant processing, storage, and R&D infrastructure.
Achieves average olive oil yields nearly nine times the global average per hectare, with production costs 30% lower than the world average.
Focuses on premium, high-quality EVOO to optimize returns and reduce commodity and currency risk.
USA growth opportunity and market dynamics
USA operations expanding rapidly, targeting ~2,000 hectares of company-owned groves by 2026 and 3,600 hectares by 2027.
Olive oil consumption in the USA has grown at a 4.5% CAGR since 1990/91, now the world's second largest consumer, but per capita use remains low.
Over 95% of olive oil sold in the USA is imported; demand for locally produced, high-quality Californian EVOO is rising.
Cobram Estate® is the 9th highest selling olive oil in USA supermarkets and the fastest growing Californian olive oil brand, with 33% value growth in the past year.
Californian olive oil currently represents only 3.4% of USA supermarket olive oil sales, indicating significant growth potential.
Capital raising and use of funds
Institutional Placement aims to raise up to $175 million, with an additional Share Purchase Plan (SPP) targeting $10 million.
Funds will be used primarily for land purchases and development of new olive groves in California, supporting expansion to 3,600 hectares and over 9 million litres of oil at maturity.
Two Joint-CEOs are selling 2 million shares to repay director loans and associated taxes, representing 22% and 19% of their holdings respectively.
Placement and SPP priced at $3.20 per share, a slight discount to recent trading prices.
SPP open to eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand, capped at $30,000 per shareholder.
