provides stability; DTC
supplements deliver higher
margin upside
• Australia ranks top-10
globally for per-capita
wellness spend
Diversification across food,
supplements and ingredients
lowers volatility while
preserving growth.

everyday spending
Accelerate DTC Where
Growth and Margin Are
Highest
EXL is executing against the Wellness Megatrends
• Retail wellness categories
remain early and
underdeveloped
• We partner with buyers to
lead innovation and grow
categories, not just shelf
space
• Focus on products that bring
excitement and education
into everyday food aisles
Retail-led, frequency-driven
growth
• Hemp demand grows
steadily as awareness and
distribution expand
• As a leading player, we
benefit disproportionately as
the category scales
• Focus on quality, reliable
supply, key retail
partnerships and margin
improvement over time
Long-term demand,
disciplined execution.

Metabolic Burn: Capturing the GLP-1 Curious Consumer
Interest far exceeds usage
400–500k Australians use GLP-1s today,
but interest is much larger. Global data
shows 2–3x more consumers are
interested, limited by cost, access, and
long-term concerns.
A large pre-GLP-1 market
~9 million Australians are engaged with
metabolic health. Many are GLP-1 curious,
ineligible, not ready, or seeking a natural,
TGA-regulated alternative or complement.
A credible bridge
Metabolic Burn supports energy, glucose
metabolism, and fat conversion through a
clinically informed formula. It fits before,
instead of, or alongside pharmaceuticals
Protein Waters: Leading Growth in the Protein Category
A fast-growing market with a
clear winner
Australia’s protein supplements market is
tracking to ~$1.1B by 2034. Protein water is
the growth leader at 8.3% CAGR, ahead of
traditional powders.
Right format, right consumer,
right time
Consumers want lighter, clean protein they
can drink anytime. Protein water delivers
everyday hydration without the heaviness
of shakes.
Healthy Chef as category
innovators
With three functional protein waters,
Healthy Chef is positioned at the premium
end of the fastest-growing segment,
offering benefits beyond basic protein.
Research and Markets, Australia Protein Supplements Market Forecast (2024)
Building a Stronger Brand
in a SKU Rationalised
Retail Environment
In partnership with
Innovation validated by Coles
World-first sustainable formats and cross-
category collaborations are launching with Coles,
demonstrating retailer confidence in
Mt. Elephant’s ability to drive growth.
Brand refresh built for today’s
retail reality.
We’re evolving Mt. Elephant to be clearer,
bolder, and more competitive at shelf, helping
it win space as buying decisions get tougher.
From niche free-from to
mainstream wholefood
We’re softening the health message to meet a
larger conventional audience. wholefood,
better-for-you credentials remain, but taste,
indulgence, and convenience lead the
experience.
