Clean Seas H1 FY23 Results – Media Release

20 Feb 2023 23:10 CET

[ADELAIDE], 21 FEBRUARY 2023



• Positive Operating EBITDA of A$1.6 million (A$1.04/kg) for H1 FY23 compares to
a loss of A$9.9 million in H1 FY22, driven by price increases and operational
cost reductions
• Pricing up 40% to A$22.43/kg in H1 FY23. Increased and converging Fresh and
Frozen prices, up 20% and 79% respectively, driven by demand outstripping supply
and the transition away from an overstocked live fish biomass and frozen
inventory position
• Production costs down 11% to A$13.22/kg in H1 FY23 due to optimisation of live
fish biomass achieved despite increased feed, labour and fuel costs, and lower
than expected growth in the early part of the current growing season
• Reduced sales volumes reflect sell-through of all clearance frozen inventory,
partially offset by 18% increase in harvest volumes
• Positive operating cash flows of A$3.5 million in H1 FY23 and increased net
cash position to A$6.8 million
• Statutory NPAT loss reflects H1 being predominantly winter non-growing season
and expected to be positive for FY23 once the summer growing season is completed
in H2
