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.
