Wellnex Life Limited (ASX/AIM: WNX) ("Wellnex Life" or the "Company")
Executive Chairman, Ash Vesali is pleased to provide the following operational
and business update along with its Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31
December 2025 (all figures unaudited).

During the December quarter, the Company recorded customer cash receipts of
$5.1m, reflecting improved trading conditions and continued strength in core
brand Pain Away.

 Revenue       Q2 FY26       Q1 FY26       % Change
 Brands        $3.8 million  $5.1 million  (25.5%)
 IP Licensing  $3.3 million  $0.3 million  1000%
 Total         $7.1 million  $5.4 million  31.5%
 Gross Profit  $2.1 million  $1.8 million  16.7%

 

Brands sales declined to $3.8m in Q2 FY26, primarily due to the Company's
previously announced decision to consolidate and deprioritise non-core assets,
as part of a strategic focus on core brand and long-term profitability.

Net operating cash outflow for the quarter was $(0.16)m, a significant
improvement compared with $(2.98)m in the prior quarter. As of 31 December
2025, the Company held $0.98m in cash and cash equivalents and had total
financing facilities of approximately $11.65m, of which $9.65m had been drawn
as further referred to in 7 of Appendix 4c below.

 

The Company remains focused on its turnaround strategy, improving cash
conversion, and strengthening its balance sheet.

During the quarter, payments of $0.36m were made to related parties. These
payments relate to directors' fees, executive remuneration and associated
costs.

The Board is encouraged by the strong execution and sustained engagement
across the business. The Company continues to operate with increased focus and
discipline to further identify opportunities to enhance margins and reduce
costs.
