Wellnex Life Limited (ASX) ("Wellnex Life" or the "Company") is pleased to
release its Appendix 4E for Financial Year 2025 (FY25).

In FY25, Wellnex Life achieved continued revenue and margin growth whilst
further establishing a platform for future prosperity with the successful dual
listing on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. This allowed the
Company to strengthen its balance sheet with the settlement of the deferred
consideration for Pain Away and the convertible note saving the company c.$1.4
million in annual costs.

Total revenue for FY25 was $23.6 million which was an increase of 40.4% from
PCP (FY24: $16.8 million), with the increase in revenue primarily achieved
from Wellnex Life's brands, including Pain Away.

The Company also saw a rise in gross profit in dollar terms of 38.4% to $6.9
million (FY24: $5.0 million) which was in line with FY24 as a percentage of
revenue. This was despite a one-off increase in trade investment in 1HFY25
which resulted in gross margin decreasing to 23% with a more disciplined
approach to trade investment in the 2HFY25 increasing gross margin for this
period to 37%.

Total loss for FY25 was $15.6 million, which was impacted by non-cash and
one-off expenses of $11.7 million, primarily in relation to Pain Away and
other corporate activities including the dual listing on the AIM market of the
London Stock Exchange. The normalised EBITDA loss for FY25 decreased by 57.0%
to $2.2 million compared to PCP (FY24: $5.2 million loss).

Comments

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted
to $15.6 million (FY24: $13.7 million loss).

 

Revenue for the period was $23.6 million an increase of 40.4% on the prior
corresponding period (FY24: $16.8 million). The increase in revenue primarily
came from Wellnex Life's owned brands and in particular Pain Away which
included trading for the first time for a full financial year.

Wellnex Life's gross profit margins were in line with the previous year at
29.1% or $6.9 million (FY24: $5.0 million) but were impacted by a one-off
increase in trade investment in 1HFY25 which resulted in gross profit margins
for this period being 23% which subsequently increased to 37% in 2HFY25.

 

Loss for the full year of $15.6 million was up 13.6% on the prior
corresponding period (FY24: $13.8 million), with the loss in FY25 impacted by
non-cash adjustments and one off expenses of $10.7 million and finance costs
of $2.1 million.

 

The normalised EBITDA loss (excluding one-off expenses associated with the
acquisition of Pain Away, the UK IPO and non-cash expenses) for the period was
$2.2 million, a decrease of 57.0% on the prior corresponding period (FY24:
$5.2 million loss).

 

Wellnex Life expects revenue to increase strongly in FY26 with gross profit
expected to increase with a more disciplined trade investment plan, with the
growth to come from:

 

 ●      Continued growth of Wellnex Life's other brands
 ●      Expansion of the licensing partner arrangements with continued growth in the
        domestic market and international markets

 

Financial Position

The total net assets of the entity at 30 June 2025 were $11.3 million (at 30
June 2024: $6.1 million), an increase of 85.6%.

 

Wellnex Life during the period via its dual listing on the AIM market of the
London Stock Exchange, settled both the deferred consideration for Pain Away
and the outstanding convertible notes.

 

Wellnex Life's next step is to target increasing shareholder value by
continuing to grow its brands that will see a continuation of the
strengthening of the balance sheet and will allow it to accelerate the
company's growth in both revenue, margins and operational profitability.

 

FY25 - Transformational Year

 

Financial Year 2025 has laid the foundations for a pathway of Company growth
and maximising operational profitability, with increasing revenue and
strengthened balance sheet. The Company continues to see the benefit of Pain
Away with increasing revenue and net margins of c.50%.

The successful dual listing of the Company on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange, and the associated capital raising, resulted in the company
settling the deferred consideration of Pain Away and the outstanding
convertible notes of c.$13 million, in aggregate.

Revenue for the period increased by 40.4% compared to the previous
corresponding period to $23.6 million (FY24: $16.8 million), with gross profit
margin for the period at 29.1% or $6.9 million (FY24: $5.0 million). Gross
profit margin in the first half of the period was 23% or $2.7 million which
increased in the second half to 37% or $4.2 million. Wellnex Life will
maintain the disciplined trade investment plan in FY26, that will allow it to
maximise margins and operational profitability.

Wellnex Life in FY26 has many growth drivers across the business that are
expected to continue to increase revenue, maintain a healthy margin and a path
to profitability, with its growing brands and expanding licensing
opportunities.

 Wellnex Life Limited
 Notes to the Preliminary Report
 30 June 2025

 

Note 1. General information

 

The Annual financial report covers Wellnex Life Limited as a consolidated
entity consisting of Wellnex Life Limited and the entities it controlled at
the end of, or during, the year. The Annual financial report is presented in
Australian dollars, which is Wellnex Life Limited's functional and
presentation currency.

 

Wellnex Life Limited is a listed public company limited by shares,
incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal
place of business is:

 

 Building 2, Level 3, Suite 72,
 574 Plummer Street
 Port Melbourne VIC 3207

 

Note 2. Material accounting policy information

 

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates continuity of normal business activities and realisation of
assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The going concern
of the consolidated entity is dependent upon it maintaining sufficient funds
for its operations and commitments.

The consolidated entity made a loss after tax of $15,604,000 during the year
ended 30 June 2025 and the net cash used in operating activities was $666,000.
The cash balance as at 30 June 2025 was $497,000. The deficiency of current
liabilities over current assets as at 30 June 2025 was $8,373,000.

These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt
as to whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and
therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in
the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial
report.

Notwithstanding these results, the accounts have been prepared on the basis
that the consolidated entity will continue its business activities (and that,
therefore, the consolidated entity is a going concern) for the following
reasons:

 

 ●      the consolidated entity since the acquisition of Pain Away is generating high
        margin revenue that will generate positive cashflow for the business and we
        are also seeing growth in our other brands;
 ●      the extension of the Haleon arrangement into the UK in the first half of FY25
        will generate significant revenue and cashflow for the business;
 ●      the consolidated entity holds significant inventory including in some cases 12
        months' supply to manufacture products, with the inventory held at 30 June
        able to generate circa $3 million in sales;
 ●      the consolidated entity also has the ability to raise additional capital
        through its lead Australian broker and they have provided support that they
        will raise additional capital as required, through a placement.
 ●      the consolidated entity has the ability to significantly curtail expenses. As
        at 30 June 2025 the Company has received representations from key sources of
        finance and its key management personnel stating their ability, if required,
        to provide financial support for a period of at least 13 months from the date
        of signing this report.

 

Note 3. Operating segments

 

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business
activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including
revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the
same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's
chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be
allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete
financial information is available. Management will also consider other
factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line
manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of
directors.

 

During the 2024 financial year the consolidated entity acquired the assets of
Pain Away. The business operates in the same business and geographical segment
as the rest of the Group, being a provider of high quality Australian made
health and wellness products throughout Australasia. All revenue and assets
generated during the financial year were generated in Australia.

All revenues of the consolidated entity are recognised at a point in time for
all revenue types.

(1) As at 30 June 2024, the group completed the acquisition of the Pain Away
brand for total consideration of $21.36m.

 

Intangible assets consist of the Group's brand assets which are amortizing
over 20 years. As at 30 June 2025 these brand assets were represented by the
Group's acquisition of Pain Away which was acquired during the year for a
purchase price of $21.36m. The directors have reviewed this asset for
indications of impairment as at 30 June 2025 and have concluded that this
asset has no indications of impairment. In concluding this, the directors
considered the following factors:

 

(a)  the underlying financial performance of the Pain Away brand
cash-generating unit;

(b)  external evidence of fair value of the asset in the Australian market;
and

(c)  the overall market capitalization of the Group relative to its net book
values represented in the Statement of Financial Position.

* Provision for convertible note is to provide for reconciliation of
convertible payment and redemptions.

 

Related party borrowings

Amounts due and payable to related parties of the Company are $2,595,000.
Loans to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable at
call and carry no equity conversion features and therefore are at terms that
the directors consider are no more favourable to the related parties than at
market terms.

Trade and debtor facility

In July 2021, the Company entered into a secured revolving trade and debtor
facility with Scottish Pacific, with the key terms of this facility as
follows:

 

 ●      total value of financing facility: $5,300,000
 ●      amount drawn down as at 30 June 2025: $2,350.000
 ●      interest rate: Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (BBSY) plus 4%
 ●      this financing facility is secured by general and specific security deeds over
        all of the Company's assets and has first ranking over the consolidated
        entity's inventory and receivables.

 

Convertible Notes

 

During the financial year and as part of the UK initial public offering, the
Company redeemed the outstanding convertible notes and issued a total of
4,209,777 fully paid ordinary shares to settle $2.74 million of Notes and
interest with $4.59 million paid in cash to settle the outstanding liability.

Acquisition of Pain Away brand asset

On 18 December 2023 the Company announced the completion of the asset
acquisition of Pain Away brand asset. Pain Away is the largest
Australian-owned topical pain relief brand and second largest provider of
topical pain relief products in Australia in market share terms. The business
develops and manufactures topical pain relief products focused on joint and
muscle pain using all natural ingredients.

The deferred consideration was payable in two equal tranches of $2.9m and
$2.75m in October 2024 and April 2025. The deferred consideration was fully
settled during the period.

 

Details of the acquisition are as follows:

 

                                                             Fair value
                                                             $'000

 Remaining deposit amount paid in the 2024 Financial Year    (13,300)
 Less: deferred consideration                                (5,650)
 Less: shares issued by company as part of consideration     (1,360)

 

Note 9. Events after the reporting period

 

Subsequent to the end of the financial year and to support the continued
growth in the business, and to provide greater financial flexibility alongside
its ScotPac invoice discounting facilities, the Group has entered into a loan
facility via Reach Wholesale ("Reach") for the amount of $2.825 million (the
"Facility"). The Facility, which is secured over the assets of the Group's key
subsidiaries, is for a 24-month term at an interest rate of 14% for the term
of the Facility. The coupon before arrangement and administration fees payable
to Reach is broadly similar to the Group's existing financing facility
arrangements.

 

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2025 that has
significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's
operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's
state of affairs in future financial years.

 

Note 10. Loss per share

 Diluted loss per share    (53.33)    (1.62)

 

The dilutive impact of shares, options and rights has not been included in the
weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of calculating
diluted EPS as it does not meet the requirements for inclusion in AASB 133
'Earnings Per Share'. The rights to these shares, options and rights are
non-dilutive as the consolidated entity is loss generating. During the period
the Company consolidated the securities of the company on a ratio of 50:1, so
an a like for like basis the loss per share on both a basic and diluted value
was 1.07 cents.
