2Q26 QUARTERLY UPDATE
HIGHLIGHTS
Strong demand for SeaFeed™ driving robust sales performance, with over 118,000 head
committed, ahead of breakeven target expectations
Revenue to continue to increase as head of cattle are inducted into feedlots and supplemented with
SeaFeedTM
New multiyear agreement with Woolworths Group, Teys Australia and DIT AgTech to extend the
commercial rollout of SeaFeedTM
into grassfed grazing, through a large-scale trial in NSW
Progress on first regional mixing and distribution centre in Newcastle, NSW to facilitate more
efficient distribution of SeaFeedTM
Appointed to the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, a leading global initiative focused on
improving the sustainability of beef production
Admitted to ASX and commenced trading on 26th
November 2025
Sea Forest Limited (ASX:SEA) (Sea Forest or the Company) today announces its quarterly results for the
period ended 31 December 2025 (2Q26 or Q2).
FINANCIAL UPDATE
Revenue received from SeaFeed™ sales for the quarter totalled $587,000, an increase of 422% on 1Q26.
Since Sea Forest’s ASX listing on 26 November 2025, it has agreed to supply premium beef producer
Providore Global, bringing the cumulative total number of head under agreement at 31st
December 2025 to
118,000. These cattle are progressively being inducted onto SeaFeedTM
supplementation.
Sea Forest recorded net cash outflows from operating activities of $1.9 million, down 22% on 1Q26. This
includes $587,000 in cash receipts from customers, $1.1 million in staff costs and $87,000 in interest income
from cash and term‑deposit investments. The decrease was also primarily attributed to from the cost
reduction strategy leading into the IPO.
Payments to related parties and their associates during the quarter were $284,000. These payments
comprised of 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.
The IPO raised $20.5 million. Of this, $19.0 million was placed in term deposits with maturities ranging
from six to nine months, resulting in a cash balance of $9.8 million at period end and an aggregate liquidity
position of $28.9 million. This strong financial position provides a solid foundation for the Company’s long-
term growth strategy, product commercialisation and market expansion activities.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE
COMMERCIAL-SCALE TRIAL WITH WOOLWORTHS GROUP, DIT AGTECH AND TEYS AUSTRALIA
Sea Forest has entered into an agreement with Woolworths Group, DIT AgTech and Teys Australia for a
multi-year, commercial-scale trial of SeaFeed™ in Australian grass-fed cattle systems.
Under the agreement, the trial will be conducted at a commercial cattle operation in New South Wales. It
will evaluate both water-delivered and dry-lick formulations of SeaFeed™, with water dosing administered
via DIT AgTech’s uDOSE™ technology. Processing partner Teys Australia, which already uses SeaFeed™,
will provide supply-chain expertise to support commercial uptake.
The program is designed to assess SeaFeed’s™ ability to deliver productivity gains for grass-fed producers,
such as improved weight gain and feed efficiency, in addition to the well-established reductions in livestock
methane emissions. Should the trial confirm SeaFeed’sTM
efficacy for grass-fed cattle, it will materially
increase the addressable market for SeaFeedTM
, with more than 30 million head of grazing cattle in Australia
alone.
Trial outcomes will be independently verified against globally recognised standards. The collaboration is
intended to support broader commercial adoption of SeaFeed™ across the red meat sector.
FIRST DISTRIBUTION CENTRE
Sea Forest has committed to its first regional mixing and distribution centre, to be located in Newcastle,
NSW, to provide direct access to both key suppliers and customers.
Construction of the distribution centre is expected to be completed by 4Q26. The site will provide direct
cost savings and efficiencies for the Company and its customers allowing for SeaFeedTM
to be delivered in a
more timely, frequent and cost-effective manner to customers.
GLOBAL ROUNDTABLE FOR SUSTAINABLE BEEF
Sea Forest has been appointed to the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB), a leading
multi-stakeholder initiative focused on advancing the sustainability of beef production globally.
The GRSB was founded by the World Wildlife Fund in collaboration with several of the world’s largest beef
and food businesses, including McDonald’s, JBS, Cargill and Walmart.
As a member, Sea Forest will work alongside more than 500 organisations across 24 countries, spanning
producers, processors, retailers and allied service providers, to support coordinated climate action across the
beef value chain. The initiative is focused on delivering measurable outcomes across a range of
environmental and animal health objectives, including reducing the net warming footprint of beef by 30%
by 2030, ensuring the beef industry is a net positive contributor to nature, and promoting high standards of
animal welfare.
SOUTH AMERICA MARKET ENTRY AND OTHER COMMERICAL AGREEMENTS
As previously announced on 26 November 2025, during 2Q26 Sea Forest entered a landmark partnership
with Belterra Agroflorestas (Belterra), marking its entry into South America. Under the agreement, Belterra
will promote SeaFeed™ across its agricultural producer network in Brazil, the world’s largest livestock
market. The Company also signed a three-year agreement with Providore Global to supplement 12,000
head of cattle, further strengthening its domestic commercial pipeline. In addition, Sea Forest entered into a
Page | 3
strategic partnership with Oisix Ra Daichi Inc. (OISIX). in Japan, granting OISIX exclusive rights to
manufacture and distribute SeaFeed™ in the Japanese market.
Sea Forest Chief Executive Officer, and Co-Founder, Sam Elsom, said:
“The strong investor support we received through our successful IPO and ASX listing in November has
provided the capital and confidence to accelerate our growth plans, and that momentum is already evident
in our first few weeks as a listed company. Driven by strong demand for SeaFeed™, we exceeded our
breakeven target of having 100,000 head committed to SeaFeedTM
supplementation well ahead of
expectations, a major milestone for the business and a clear demonstration of the commercial traction
behind SeaFeed™.
“We also made important strategic progress. Our multi-year collaboration with Woolworths Group, Teys
Australia and DIT AgTech brings us together with leading industry partners across retail, processing and
technology, and represents a significant step in expanding SeaFeed™ into grass-fed systems at commercial
scale. We continued to build the foundations required to scale with our first regional mixing and
distribution centre in Newcastle, which will improve speed, efficiency and logistics costs. Lastly, our
appointment to the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef reinforces Sea Forest’s role as a meaningful
contributor to industry-wide and global sustainability outcomes.
“We enter the next quarter with strong momentum, a clear pathway and firm commitment to long-term
growth as we accelerate the commercialisation of SeaFeed™.”

funding. Reporting from the start of the half‑year ensures all expenditure drawn from this combined
funding base is captured consistently and reconciles directly to the statutory cash flow statement.
At 30 June 2025, cash reserves of $12.9 million including $0.3 million of restricted cash, were included in
the Prospectus Sources and Uses of Proceeds. Total offer costs were $2.1 million, slightly above the $2.0
million estimate with the $0.1 million variance reflecting additional professional and advisory costs
required to complete the offer and to meet regulatory disclosure requirements. Of these costs, $1.5 million
was offset against share capital and $0.6 million expensed in accordance with AASB 132. The variance does
not impact the Company’s underlying operating activities or strategic priorities.
The Company may also benefit from favourable future variances to working capital from R&D tax
incentives. Interest income and customer revenue were not included in the Prospectus Use of Funds
statement.
