competitive category, delivering $7.0 million in sales (1HFY26), with gross
margin improving 7.9%.

Pain Away Heat patches scan at stores volumes grew 30.8% in Pharmacy versus
0.2% across all other Heat Patches and 1.4% for the total topical pain
category. This result lifted market share of patches format to 19.5% for this
period, a 3.8-point gain year-on-year.

Roll-ons grew 6% vs the 1.4% total topical pain category in Australia with our
two SKUs ranked #1 and #3 ahead of a third roll-on launch by the Company
planned in 2HFY2026.

Distribution momentum continues, with Priceline launching five new SKUs across
Australia, and each of Wellnex's three major pharmacy wholesalers have
confirmed four new product launches. Furthermore, Costco Australia and Costco
New Zealand will trial an exclusive heat patch in 2HFY2026.

We have taken decisive steps in consolidating some of our underperforming
SKUs. We will continue to supply the brands in line with our customer
commitments until they are sold or we enter into a discontinuation agreement.
We will cease all investments in these areas thereafter.

Note 1. General information

 

The financial statements cover Wellnex Life Limited as a consolidated entity
consisting of Wellnex Life Limited and the entities it controlled at the end
of, or during, the half-year. The financial statements are 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 69,
 574 Plummer Street
 Port Melbourne VIC 3207

 

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its
principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part
of the financial statements.

 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a
resolution of directors, on 27 February 2026.

 

Note 2. Material accounting policy information

 

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting
period ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.
Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial
Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

 

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the
type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these
financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for
the year ended 30 June 2025 and any public announcements made by the company
during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous
disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous
financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the
policies stated below.

 

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards
Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet
mandatory have not been early adopted.

 

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have
any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the
consolidated entity, other than as disclosed in the financial statements.

 

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 $1.793 million during the
half year ended 31 December 2025, incurred net operating cash outflows of
$3.142 million and as at 31 December 2025, recorded net current liabilities of
$4.252 million.

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 directors believe that the Company will be
able to continue as a going concern and accordingly the financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis, supported by the following
reasons:

 

 ●      The consolidated entity continues to stabilise as its turnaround trajectory
        remains on track and is increasing gross margins. In addition, the group
        closed Q2 FY26 operating at breakeven, providing a solid platform entering H2
        FY26 and putting the Group on a pathway to profitability, with growth expected
        to continue in 2H FY26.
 ●      The Company has received unsolicited preliminary interest from separate
        parties regarding the acquisition of certain of its assets. The Group
        continues to explore opportunities to monetise its brand assets if a
        commercially sensible offer is received.
 ●      A targeted cost reduction programme has been initiated and is targeting over
        $1 million in annualised operating savings.
 ●      The consolidated entity also has the ability to raise additional capital
        through its Australian and UK brokers, and they have provided non-binding
        support for additional capital raising as required, through a placement.
 ●      Ability to access additional debt facilities through established relationships
        with existing financiers, subject to customary negotiations and agreement of
        commercial terms.

 

In the event that the consolidated entity is unable to achieve the outcomes
noted above and not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required
to realise its assets at amounts different to those currently recognised,
settle liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and make
provisions for other costs which may arise as a result of cessation or
curtailment of normal business operations.

 

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

 

There was no significant or material change in the formulation and usage of
estimates and judgments made in preparing these interim financial statements
from those applied in preparing the annual report for the year ended 30 June
2025.

 

Note 4. 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.

Revenues of the consolidated entity are recognised at a point in time.

Operating segment information

 

During the financial year, the Group generated more than 10% of its revenue
from five individual customers, with total sales   to these customers
amounting to $9,907,000 (31 December 2024: $7,358,000). Apart from these, no
other customer individually accounted for more than 10% of the Group's
revenue.

Note 5. Non-current assets - intangibles

 

In accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, the Group assesses at each
reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset or cash
generating unit may be impaired.

 

During the half year ended 31 December 2025, impairment indicators were
identified in relation to the PainAway cash generating unit ("CGU").
Accordingly, an impairment assessment was performed with the assistance of
management's valuation expert.

 

The recoverable amount of the Pain Away CGU was determined using a value in
use ("VIU") model based on management approved cash flow forecasts covering a
five year period. Cash flows beyond the forecast period were extrapolated
using a terminal growth rate that does not exceed the long term expected
growth rate of the relevant industry. The carrying amount of the CGU includes
the Pain Away brand intangible asset together with directly attributable
working capital balances.

Key assumptions applied in the model include the following:

 

Forecast revenue growth:  9.8% - 14.7%

EBITDA margins:               22.5% - 30.4%

Terminal growth rate:         2.50%

Pre-tax discount rate:        21.5%

Based on the assessment performed, the recoverable amount exceeded the
carrying amount of the Pain Away CGU and no impairment charge was recognised
for the period. Sensitivity analysis was performed on key assumptions and no
reasonably possible change would result in an impairment.

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: $3,800,000 (reduced from $5,300,000 on 1
        August 2025)
 ●      amount drawn down as at  31 December 2025: $2,170,000 (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.

 

Related party loans

Amounts due and payable to related parties of the Company are $ 2,969,000.
Loans to related parties are unsecured, and during the period a 10% interest
rate was placed on the amounts borrowed by the Company.

 

The majority of the loans were extended to a repayment date of 20 April 2026
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.

facilities. The loans are secured against the assets of the Company and are
repayable 24 months following the first advance, bear interest payable of 14%
