Sea Forest Limited (ASX:SEA) (Sea Forest or the Company) today announces its quarterly results
and cash flow for the period ended 31 March 2026 (3Q26 or Q3).
FINANCIAL UPDATE
Revenue received from SeaFeed™ sales for the quarter increased 92% vs 2Q26 to $1.1 million,
reflecting solid growth in contracted SeaFeed™ supplementation volumes across Sea Forest’s
customer base.
At 31 March 2026, the Company had 118,000 head under agreement, with cattle progressively being
inducted onto SeaFeed™ supplementation.
Sea Forest recorded net cash outflows from operating activities of $1.1 million, an improvement of
44% on 2Q26.
Payments to related parties and their associates during the quarter were $318,000. These payments
comprised remuneration for executive and non-executive directors, including superannuation, all paid
in the normal course of business and excluding reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses.
Sea Forest ended the quarter with a cash balance of $8.4 million (2Q26: $9.8 million) and an
aggregate liquidity position of $27.4 million (2Q26: $28.9 million). This strong financial position
provides a solid foundation for the Company’s long-term growth strategy, continued product
commercialisation and market expansion activities, including the development of regional distribution
facilities.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE
THEORY AND SEA FOREST LAUNCH LOW-CARBON REGAL WOOL FOLLOWING
SUCCESSFUL METHANE REDUCTION PILOT
Following a successful pilot with Sea Forest and Congi Farm, global fashion brand Theory, part of the
Fast Retailing and Uniqlo Group, launched its first low-carbon Regal Wool Collection, with Sea Forest
continuing to commercially supply SeaFeed™ to support the program.
This marks one of the first instances of a global fashion brand implementing SeaFeed™ within a
luxury wool program demonstrating growing demand from multinational brands for scalable, farm-
level emissions solutions.
SeaFeed™ has been supplemented to 10,000 head of sheep within Theory’s supply chain. While Sea
Forest expects revenue from wool to remain modest relative to its beef sector operations, this initial
deployment provides a pathway for growth given Fast Retailing’s broader supply chain.
The commercial launch follows a 120-day methane reduction pilot conducted from April to August
2024, during which SeaFeed™ was supplemented to 2,000 head of Merino sheep through lick blocks.
SeaFeed™ comprised just 1% of the animals’ diet and achieved a 43% reduction in enteric methane
emissions, independently reviewed and verified in line with ISO VM0041 and ISO 14064-2 standards.
Over the trial period, SeaFeed™ mitigated approximately 54.5 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide
emissions.
Sea Forest Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Sam Elsom, said:
“Building on the momentum from our first half, we delivered another quarter of solid revenue growth
as we continued to scale SeaFeed™ supplementation across our customer base. Combined with
improvements in net cash outflows and a strong cash position, we are well positioned to continue
executing on our growth strategy.
"The Theory partnership is a milestone we are genuinely proud of. It demonstrates SeaFeed™’s
relevance beyond beef and highlights growing demand from global brands for real, scalable
emissions solutions at the farm gate.
"Since quarter end, we have continued to build commercial momentum, signing new agreements with
Avondale Ag and New Agriculture Pty Ltd. The New Agriculture agreement is particularly exciting as it
includes exploring the opportunity to expand SeaFeed™ supplementation beyond feedlots and into
the customer’s 200,000 head of cattle grazing system, representing a significant step into Australia's
30-million1 head grazing sector. The construction of our Newcastle distribution facility is also
progressing as planned and should be commissioned by the end of this financial year.
“We enter the final quarter of FY26 with strong progress and growing international engagement. The
Australian Government’s decision to prioritise a new ACCU method for methane-abating livestock
feed additives is a game changer for Australian producers and a significant policy tailwind for
SeaFeed™, expected to strengthen the commercial case for adoption and support demand over time.
We remain focused on scaling SeaFeed™ and delivering on our long-term growth strategy.”
APRIL TRADING UPDATE: TWO NEW CUSTOMER AGREEMENTS
Since quarter end, Sea Forest has continued to build commercial momentum with two new customer
agreements.
As announced on 20 April 2026, Sea Forest entered into an exclusive 12-month agreement with
Avondale Ag, a family-owned farming enterprise, to supplement 5,000 head of feedlot cattle.

On 23 April 2026, Sea Forest also entered into an exclusive 36-month agreement with New
Agriculture, a climate-focused global investment manager of nature-based real assets, to supplement
an 8,000-head of feedlot cattle and extending the opportunity to supplement SeaFeed™ across New
Agriculture’s breeding and backgrounding systems in Northern and Southern Australia, which have a
combined capacity of over 200,000 head of cattle.
Together, these agreements bring the cumulative total number of head of cattle under agreement to
131,000 as at 29 April 2026.

statement.
