Consolidated revenue growth of 32% ending the year on $50,064,218 (FY21: $38,009,411) driven by the JC Tanloden business with hay production volumes up 51% on FY21 and ending the year with sales of 96,581 tonnes (FY21: 63,912).
A number of unfavourable contracts entered into by previous management including high priced hay contracts and out-of-the-moneyforeign exchange positions.
The strengthening of commodity and other prices that began in FY21 accelerated substantially in FY22. Domestic hay prices increased in line with all soft commodities and the significant interruptions to global supply chains resulted in sea freight cost increases of 87% per tonne when compared to FY21. Passing these higher prices onto customers in Asian markets has been challenging and largely achieved, though has come with the risk of some demand destruction.

Review of results and operations1

personalWingara AG Limited is an owner and operator of value-added,mid-stream assets specialising in the processing, storage and m rketing of agricultural products for export markets.

The 2022 financial year (FY22) saw significant improvements in business performance but was impacted by a number of macroeconomic and social impacts well beyond the control of the business. These negative impacts included:

The impact of COVID-19 throughout the year and in particular the arrival of the Omicron variant has created labour shortages at both JC Tanloden and Austco Polar. For the JC Tanloden business, significant plant downtime in the last four months of the financial year was caused by staff unable to come to work. This also impacted critical preventative maintenance activities and the commissioning of new equipment to lift plant performance. The Austco Polar business had a number of its key customers (particularly abattoirs) interrupted by labour shortages, which substantially impacted our blast freezing volumes and plant throughput; and

ForNotwithstanding these complexities, the new management team lead by CEO James Whiteside (who commenced on 1 July 2021) has, in a short period of time, strengthened the commercial position of the company by focusing on supplier and customer relationships, resetting operating processes and controls and steadily improving its reporting transparency.

Key achievements in FY22 include:

1 Throughout this report, certain financial information is presented which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards ('AAS'), such as EBITDA and EBIT. Earnings before interest and income tax (EBIT) reflects profit for the year prior to including the effect of net finance costs, income taxes and loss from operations held for sale. Earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) reflects profits for the year prior to including the effect of net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortisation and loss from operations held for sale. The individual components of EBITDA and EBIT are included as line items in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Reference to results before significant items excludes the financial impacts of capital raise and share placement costs, share- based payment expenses, project related costs, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, impairment of receivables and one-off legal fees. The Directors consider that

these measures are useful in gaining an understanding of the performance of the entity, consistent with internal reporting.

Wingara AG Limited Directors' report 31 March 2022

Continued focus on margins and operating processes has resulted in growth across all financial performance

metrics in our Continuing Operations (excluding Austco Polar, see next paragraph) before significant items including Revenue (up 43%), Gross Profit (up 75%), EBITDA (up 74%) and EBIT loss (down 470%). only

Strong working capital management resulting in year-on-year reduction in Net Debt, ending the year on $6,284,066 (FY21: $8,861,157).

In addition, during the first half of FY22 management announced that it had completed a strategic review of Austco Polar Cold Storage and determined that this business is non-core to the Company's future growth strategy given the substantial growth opportunities available through JC Tanloden. Accordingly, a business broker has been engaged to run a sale process to realise the business' value. Austco Polar's results from operations for the twelve months ended 31 March 2022 and 2021 have therefore been re-presented as results from operations held for sale.

This was driven by higher production volumes for the year of 96,581 MT (FY21: 63,912 MT) as a result of higher machinery uptime and increasing daily production hours.

Gross profit ended the year on $16,071,803 (FY21: $9,186,341) representing an increase on prior comparative period of $6,885,462, or 75%.
