Financial and Operational Highlights
· Solid H1 Revenue growth of 5.1% constant currency, supported by underlying volume growth of 1.4%.
· Total Group operating profit¹ of €17.4 million, an increase of 2.4% on the prior year.
· Agriculture:
o H1 profit performance was broadly in line with prior year, with growth in Ireland/UK and Latin America (LATAM) offset by a reduction in Central Europe (CE).
o Planted areas in the UK are ahead of prior year and crop development is progressing well. A continued move towards winter planting is evident in CE, building on last year's growth, with crop development progressing well across both countries. An expanded soybean and corn area in LATAM is driving volume growth despite a challenging environment.
o Weaker grain, oilseed and dairy prices continue to dampen farm sentiment, influencing timing and commitment to spend.
· Living Landscapes:
o Good H1 performance, with operating profit up 8.3%, driven by early season organic growth in the Sports and Landscapes businesses. Our Environmental business recorded a like-for like decline in H1 reflecting project timing delays; however, with the benefit of acquisitions, delivered year on year growth.
o Demand across Living Landscapes has had a robust start to the second half of the year.
· Associates and joint ventures made a strong contribution to the first half, reflecting sustained demand for animal nutrition products in the Irish market.
· Adjusted EPS of 4.55 cent (H1 2025: 5.17 cent) with H1 performance reflecting improved operating profit performance impacted by higher finance costs as a result of higher average debt. As in prior years, operating profit is second half weighted.
· Net bank debt of €283.5 million (H1 2025: €270.1 million), reflects seasonal working capital requirements and inventory positioning in advance of the introduction of CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) charges from 1 January 2026.
· Extension of the Group's €440 million sustainability-linked revolving credit facility by one year to 31 January 2031.
· Interim dividend has been maintained at 3.15 cent per share (H1 2025: 3.15 cent per share).
· Mr. John Hennessy was appointed to the Board on 1 January 2026 and will succeed Mr. Gary Britton as Chairman on 04 March 2026.
· Capital Markets Day to be held in London on 17 November 2026.
Commenting on Origin's interim results, Chief Executive Officer, Sean Coyle said:
"The Group delivered a solid first-half performance. Activity across both Agriculture and Living Landscapes was in line with expectations, establishing a strong operational base across our markets as we move into the more significant second half.
In Agriculture planting activity across our markets has set an encouraging platform for the remainder of the year, while on-farm sentiment remains cautious given output prices.
Our Animal and Soil Nutrition businesses had a strong performance, and our order books are well positioned for the second half. Despite the introduction of CBAM and broader geopolitical uncertainty, we have actively managed the factors within our control and continue to work closely with customers to ensure clarity on pricing, product availability and service delivery throughout the season.
In our Agronomy businesses well-established cropping areas across key markets provide a solid base for second half activity.
Living Landscapes had a good first half driven by Sports and Landscapes combined with acquisition-led growth in Environmental. The integration of recent acquisitions continues to progress well and provides a solid foundation for the second half of the year. We have an active pipeline of further acquisitions in this segment and remain excited about its performance and prospects.
Planting areas and crop conditions are good across our markets, and demand for animal and soil nutrition products has been solid. Consistent with prior years, significant levels of spring volumes are still to be delivered across all of our businesses and guidance for FY 2026 will be issued with our Q3 trading update on 11 June 2026.
We will host a Capital Markets Day in London on 17 November 2026, where we will set out our next five-year strategy, including our capital allocation framework and growth ambitions.
I am pleased to welcome John Hennessy to the Board and look forward to working with him as Chairman. I would like to thank Gary Britton for his considerable contribution to Origin as a Board member, particularly over the last three years in his role as Chairman."

Adjusted diluted earnings per share
Origin delivered adjusted diluted earnings per share3 in H1 2026 of 4.55 cent compared to 5.17 cent in H1 2025. On a like-for-like basis (excluding the impact of currency movements and acquisitions) the underlying decrease in adjusted diluted earnings per share3 was 1.05 cent.
Group revenue
Group revenue for H1 2026 increased by 2.5% to €852.6 million (H1 2025: €831.7 million). On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by €42.4 million (5.1%).
Excluding crop marketing, revenue grew by 4.3% (€32.0 million), driven by underlying volume growth of 2.3% and a 1.0% contribution from prior year Living Landscapes acquisitions. A 3.0% foreign exchange headwind was more than offset by pricing movements of 4.0%, primarily reflecting higher price levels for global fertiliser raw materials.
Operating profit1
Operating profit¹ for H1 2026 was €15.1 million (H1 2025: €14.9 million), an increase of 1.3%. On an underlying basis, operating profit was 2.0% lower year-on-year. Foreign exchange movements had a marginal positive impact of 0.2% on reported operating profit.
Associates and joint venture2
Origin's share of profit after interest and taxation from associates and joint venture amounted to €2.3 million, a €0.2 million increase on H1 2025, reflecting strong demand for animal feed in H1.
Exceptional items
€3.7 million exceptional costs (net of tax) in the period consist primarily of costs in respect of the facilitation of payments to suppliers which had been previously suspended in accordance with international sanctions in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Net bank debt and financing costs
Net bank debt5 at 31 January 2026 was €283.5 million compared to €270.1 million at 31 January 2025 and is 2.44 times EBITDA4 for the twelve months to 31 January 2026.
The increase in net bank debt, for the 12-month period ended 31 January 2026 is largely driven by an increase in working capital.
During the period, the Group exercised its option to extend its €440 million sustainability-linked revolving credit facility ('RCF') by one year to 31 January 2031. Subsequent to the period end, confirmation was received by each lender extending the RCF facility to 31 January 2031, with one further option remaining to extend by a further year.
Net finance costs amounted to €11.3 million compared to €10.0 million in H1 2025. The increase in net finance costs in the period was primarily driven by higher average net debt levels year on year. At period end, the Group's key banking covenants are as follows:

Working capital
Following the seasonal investment in working capital in the period, the net cash outflow from operating activities was €200.7 million (H1 2025: €175.3 million). Working capital at 31 January 2026 amounted to €235.8 million compared to €200.8 million in the prior period. Investment in working capital in the period was largely driven by an increase in inventory in advance of the introduction of CBAM charges in January 2026, in addition to volume related increases in trading. The period end working capital position includes a €5.7 million balance due to sanctioned parties which had been previously suspended in accordance with international sanctions imposed by authorities in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Sustainability
The Group continues to align its product and service offering with evolving customer requirements and regulatory developments across its markets, delivering practical, technically-led solutions that support productivity, environmental performance and compliance.
During the period, integration of recent acquisitions further strengthened our environmental and ecology platform, extending our capabilities across habitat creation, biodiversity services and environmental advisory. Within Agriculture, innovation continues across biostimulants, adjuvants, micronutrients and soil nutrition, improving input efficiency and supporting sustainable land use. The Group remains focused on delivery of its Science Based Targets transition plan, supported by continued investment in fleet electrification, facility upgrades and enhanced data and reporting systems.
Interim dividend
We are pleased to announce that an interim dividend of 3.15 cent per share will be paid on 19 June 2026 to shareholders on the register on 29 May 2026.

Ireland and the United Kingdom delivered revenue growth of €7.5 million in the period. The operating loss reduced from €1.2 million in H1 2025 to €0.9 million in the current year. As in prior years, earnings are weighted towards the second half of the financial year.
Trading was supported by strong demand for fertiliser ahead of the spring application season, with growers advancing purchases in anticipation of price movements, alongside a recovery in UK winter cropping areas and sustained demand for animal nutrition through Q2, supporting both volume and pricing progression.
However, in the UK, there has been a cautious approach to pre-season purchases of seed and crop protection, due to the ongoing impact of soft crop prices on grower sentiment.
Sustainable Agronomy
Agronomy revenue increased by 1.6% during H1 2026, driven by fertiliser demand and global pricing. Improved planting conditions and an earlier harvest supported autumn drilling, resulting in winter wheat area rising approximately 4% year-on-year to c.1.7 million hectares and oilseed rape increasing to c.0.25 million hectares (c.19% year-on-year growth). Crop establishment across key cereal regions has been reported as satisfactory.
Growers selectively brought forward some of their fertiliser purchases in anticipation of price movements, while input commitments across seed and crop protection remained disciplined. Lower output price levels and tighter farm margins continue to influence sentiment within the arable sector, with farmers maintaining prudent working capital management.
Total autumn and spring plantings for the 2025/26 production year are expected to be largely in line with prior year at just over 4 million hectares.
Soil Nutrition
Soil Nutrition delivered a good first-half performance, supported by globally firmer fertiliser pricing and pre-season demand across Ireland and the UK.
Fertiliser markets strengthened through the period, reflecting tighter global nitrogen supply and the phased introduction of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ("CBAM"), which applies a carbon cost to certain fertiliser imports into the EU to align them with EU carbon pricing. This has contributed to greater price differentiation between EU and non-EU product, contributing to increased pricing across the market.
In Ireland, improved visibility on CBAM implementation and pricing trends led to increased order intake ahead of the main spring application window. Market dynamics continue to reflect grassland-led demand and evolving regulatory measures.
In the UK, purchasing behaviour remained more progressive through the winter, with selective forward buying ahead of price movements. Consistent with our agronomy operations, lower crop prices and margin considerations continue to influence purchasing behaviour.
Across both markets, the Group enters the second half with a strong short term order book and appropriate inventory positioning to meet expected customer demand.
Animal Nutrition
Feed Ingredients delivered a good H1 2026 performance and growth against a strong H1 2025 performance. John Thompson & Sons Limited, the Group's 50%-owned associate, also delivered a good performance. Feed demand remained strong over H1 supported by resilient protein prices, although milk prices have reduced in recent months.

Continental Europe delivered a solid start to the year, with revenue growth of 5.9% in the first half, primarily reflecting volume growth and price inflation in Romania, reflecting global fertiliser prices. Operating profit reduced to €0.6 million for CE in the seasonally quieter period, reflecting lower volumes in Poland, an underlying improved operating performance in Romania and the impact of provision for credit risk in Romania.
Underlying volumes (excluding crop marketing) increased by 1.8% across the region, supported by stable cropping areas and satisfactory winter crop establishment. Soil moisture levels have improved entering the spring period, providing a more supportive agronomic backdrop following recent volatility in seasonal conditions.
Poland
Poland made a robust start against a strong prior-year comparator. Lower volumes in certain categories reflected competitive market dynamics and more measured farmer purchasing, particularly in fertiliser, with procurement activity weighted toward later in the season. Trading momentum improved toward period end, with stronger run-rates and a healthy order position heading into the seasonally more significant Q3.
Autumn and winter plantings are broadly in line with the prior year harvested area at approximately 5.3 million hectares, with winter crops generally well established and total cropping area for 2026 anticipated to remain broadly consistent with last year at approximately 8.8 million hectares.
Romania
Romania delivered an improved first-half performance, supported by growth across product categories and a continued rotation toward winter cropping (+4.4% YoY; +21% vs 2024), as growers seek to mitigate spring drought risk following recent dry seasons. Total cropping is expected to remain broadly stable at 8.2m hectares. Farm sentiment remains cautious but is gradually improving as soil moisture conditions have stabilised over winter, supporting crops into the spring, while confidence continues to be tempered by the impact of recent droughts on farm cash flow and continuing credit challenges in the market.

Latin America delivered a solid underlying performance with volumes up 3.1%, driven by continued growth in Controlled Release Fertiliser (CRF) and biological products offset partially by lower volumes in some speciality product categories. Operating profit increased 5% to €11.3 million, with volume growth and cost management being partially offset by the negative mix impact from the higher weighting of lower-margin CRF sales.
Brazil's cropping fundamentals remain supportive, with soybean planted area projected at approximately 49 million hectares (up 3.8% year-on-year) and production forecast at 181 million tonnes. Safrinha (second crop) corn plantings are underway with total planting areas expected to be in line with prior year. While expanded planting underpins demand for crop inputs, a cautious approach to credit sales is being proactively adopted given market challenges. Lower output pricing has resulted in more disciplined purchasing and market pricing.
Currency movements in the Brazilian Real had a modest translational impact on reported euro results with underlying performance in local currency remaining robust.

Living Landscapes delivered a good first-half performance, with operating profit increasing 8.3% to €4.1 million. Growth reflected strong contributions from Sports and Landscapes, with Environmental like for like performance behind last year due to the timing of projects but showing growth with the inclusion of acquisitions.
Sports had a good performance in the period which benefited from sustained demand for performance-led and technical solutions, driven by a focus on surface recovery post the impact of last summer's drought and a push to ensure year-round playability across professional and municipal facilities.
Landscapes also had a good performance, supported by expanded product capability following recent acquisitions and ongoing investment in green infrastructure.
Environmental activity was robust in the period supported by compliance-driven demand, including Biodiversity Net Gain. The timing of contract awards and mobilisation impacted like for like profitability in the first-half, with earnings expected to be weighted toward the second half. Jon Garner succeeded Mark Webb in the period as Managing Director of Environmental. Jon has been a key part of the Environmental team following the acquisition of GE Consulting in 2024 of which he was the founder and Director.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
for the six months ended 31 January 2026
1 Basis of preparation
The Group condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34), as endorsed by the EU. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared as information for the shareholders and do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements in respect of the year ended 31 July 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs. The financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025 are available on the company's website www.originenterprises.com. Those financial statements contained an unqualified audit report.
The Group condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 January 2026 and the comparative figures for the six months ended 31 January 2025 are unaudited and have not been reviewed by the Auditors. The summary financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025 represent an abbreviated version of the Group's full accounts for that year.
A comprehensive review of the Group's performance for the six months ended 31 January 2026 is included in the financial highlights included on pages 3 to 10. The group's business is seasonal and is heavily weighted towards the second half of the financial year.
2 Going concern
The Group condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting. The Directors have considered the Group's business activities and how it generates value, together with the main trends and factors likely to affect future development, business performance and position of the Group. Having reassessed the principal risks facing the Group, the Directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage these risks successfully. There are no material uncertainties that cast a significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern over a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements.
The Directors report that they have satisfied themselves that the Group is a going concern, having adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In forming this view, the Directors have reviewed the Group's forecast for a period not less than 12 months and the long-term plans, and have taken into account the cash flow implications, including capital expenditure, and compared these with the Group's borrowing facilities.
3 Accounting policies
The Group condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies as set out on pages 141 to 148 of the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2025.
There is a new standard which is also effective from 1 August 2025. The following amendments, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC'), are effective for the Group for the first time in the current financial period and where relevant have been adopted by the Group:
· Amendments to IAS 21 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates': Lack of Exchangeability
The amendments listed above have had no material impact on the Group condensed interim consolidated financial statements during the period. The Group has not applied early adoption of any standards for which the effective date is not yet required.

for the six months ended 31 January 2026
4 Reporting currency
The Group condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in euro (denoted by the symbol '€') and rounded to the nearest thousand, which is the functional currency of the parent. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end date are translated to functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.
The principal exchange rates used for translation of results and balance sheets into euro were as follows:

5 Segment information
IFRS 8, 'Operating Segments', requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ('CODM') in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.
The Group has determined there are two operating segments as follows:
Agriculture
This segment includes the Group's wholly owned Business-to-Business Agri-Inputs operations, Integrated Agronomy and On-Farm Services operations in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Poland, Romania, and Brazil. In addition, this segment includes the Group's associate and joint venture undertakings.
Living Landscapes
This segment includes the Group's wholly owned Sports, Landscapes and Environmental operations, providing a range of consultancy, inputs and technical solutions in sports turf management, landscaping, and environmental conservation.
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment operating profit as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group's CODM, being the Origin Executive Directors. Segment operating profit is used to measure performance, as this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the Group's segments.
