leading sustainable nutrition and wellness company, is pleased to report its June 2026 quarterly
activity report and Appendix 4C (“Q2 FY26”).

• Positive revenue momentum heading into Q3 FY26, supported by new B2B and retail
channel opportunities
• The Healthy Chef revenue increased 20% on pcp and 26% qoq
• Advancing The Healthy Chef’s expansion into longevity and metabolic health through

Natalie Butler, CEO and Executive Director, commented:
"Q2 FY26 represents another quarter of progress as we continue to execute our strategy to improve
the quality of earnings and build a more profitable business. Revenue grew 5% on the prior
corresponding period, while gross margin expanded to 45%, reflecting disciplined portfolio
management, an improved channel mix and continued focus on premium brands.
The Healthy Chef continues to perform strongly, with revenue increasing 20% on the prior
corresponding period and further supported by its expansion into Priceline Pharmacy. We were also
encouraged by the continued momentum in our Metabolic Burn and Protein Water ranges,
supporting our strategy of growing higher-margin premium functional nutrition products.
During the quarter, we continued to simplify the business and reduce our operating cost base. This
contributed to a material improvement in underlying operating cash flow compared with the prior
year. While reported cash flow was impacted by one-off AGM costs and out-of-cycle payments, the
underlying trajectory of the business continues to improve.
As we enter Q3 FY26, we remain focused on delivering sustainable revenue growth, maintaining
disciplined cost management supporting the positive underlying operating cash flow.
Q2 FY26 Overview
Elixinol generated revenue of $4.3 million in Q2 FY26, an increase of 5% compared with the prior
corresponding period (pcp). Performance during the quarter reflected the Company's continued
focus on higher-margin revenue streams, disciplined portfolio management and an improved sales
channel mix.
Strong performance from The Healthy Chef portfolio
The Healthy Chef delivered revenue of $1.15 million, up 20% on pcp and 26% qoq, supported by
continued strength in e-commerce and the expansion into Priceline Pharmacy. The brand
represented 27% of total Group revenue during the quarter, compared with 23% in Q2 FY25,
demonstrating an increased contribution from premium brands and owned channels.
The rollout into Priceline Pharmacy expands The Healthy Chef’s presence in a high-traffic retail
network, increasing brand awareness and consumer access.
Metabolic Burn continued to perform strongly following its Q1 FY26 launch, with early consumer
demand supporting The Healthy Chef’s entry into the emerging pre-GLP-1 nutrition category.
Protein Water also delivered continued momentum during the quarter, reinforcing the Company’s
strategy of growing its portfolio of premium nutritional products.
The Company is progressing The Healthy Chef’s expansion into longevity, metabolic health and
healthy ageing, targeting the growing “Peptide curious” consumer seeking credible support for
appetite, muscle preservation, recovery and sleep without pharmaceutical injectables. Following
the strong early response to Metabolic Burn, the Company is developing precision functional
nutrition products using clinically studied bioactive peptides and other advanced ingredients.
Gross margin expansion
Elixinol continued to improve revenue quality during Q2 FY26 through its focus on higher-margin
products, owned brands and disciplined channel management.
Gross margin increased to 45% in Q2 FY26, compared with 38% in Q2 FY25, reflecting portfolio
optimisation, reduced exposure to lower-margin contracts and SKUs, and a greater contribution
from higher-margin e-commerce sales.
Gross profit increased 26% on pcp to $2.0 million (Q2 FY25: $1.6 million), primarily driven by a
36% increase in gross profit from the Australian business.
Cash flow and operating performance
Customer cash receipts totalled $3.9 million during Q2 FY26, an increase of 9% compared with the
previous quarter.
Meanwhile the Company’s operating cost base decreased by 23% compared with the prior
corresponding period. This included a 23% reduction in employee costs, a 25% decline in
distribution costs, 32% less marketing expenditure and a 15% improvement in administration and
corporate costs.
Net operating cash outflow for the quarter was $0.58 million. This result included non-recurring
costs and impacts from out-of-cycle payments relating to prior periods, interest payments to
secured loan note holders and costs associated with the Company's Annual General Meeting. After
those adjustments (per the chart below), the underlying operating cashflow for Q2 is positive $0.05
million. This represents the third consecutive quarter of positive underlying operating cash flow
and an improvement of approximately $0.71 million compared with Q2 FY25, when the underlying
operating cash outflow was $0.66 million.
The Company remains focused on delivering sustained positive underlying operating cash flow,
supported by revenue momentum, increased contributions from higher-margin products and
channels, and a structurally lower operating cost base established during FY26. Recent portfolio
optimisation and channel expansion initiatives are expected to provide additional support for
revenue growth over the coming quarters.
Cash on hand as at 30 June 2026 was $1.0 million.
Payments to related parties and their associates of $0.13 million, as disclosed in Item 6.1 of the
Appendix 4C, relate to Director fees and executive director remuneration.
Gavin Evans, Chair, commented:
"The Board is pleased with the continued progress delivered during Q2 FY26. Over the past twelve
months, management has successfully repositioned the business around stronger brands, higher-
margin revenue streams and a significantly leaner operating cost base. These initiatives are now
translating into improved financial performance, improving underlying cash generation and a more
resilient operating platform.
Importantly, the Company's performance over the past three quarters demonstrates a fundamental
improvement in the quality and sustainability of the business. Expanding gross margins, disciplined
cost management and improving operating cash flow provide a solid foundation for long-term value
creation.
We are particularly encouraged by the continued momentum of The Healthy Chef, which is benefiting
from strong consumer demand for premium wellness products, while our retail, e-commerce and
B2B channels continue to provide multiple avenues for growth.
Looking ahead, the Board remains focused on disciplined capital allocation and accelerating organic
growth, particularly through The Healthy Chef's position in the rapidly expanding precision nutrition
category, including bioactive peptides and other science-backed functional ingredients. We also
continue to assess strategic acquisition opportunities that complement our existing portfolio,
enhance our capabilities and create long-term shareholder value."
2. Underlying operating cash excludes financing costs, payments for income taxes and other items (timing adjustments
and nonrecurring items). This is not an ASX Appendix 4C measure.

Note: if the entity has reported positive net operating cash flows in item 1.9, answer item 8.5 as “N/A”. Otherwise, a
figure for the estimated quarters of funding available must be included in item 8.5.
8.6 If item 8.5 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:
8.6.1 Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating
cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
The Company expects underlying net operating cash outflows to improve during the second
half of 2026. The initial order for the Priceline rollout has been delivered and is expected to
support improved cash collections. The Company also expects continued benefits from
margin improvement initiatives, overhead reductions, SKU rationalisation and supply chain
and procurement optimisation, which are anticipated to further improve EBITDA and
operating cash flows.
8.6.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
The Group has access to additional funding through existing e-commerce working capital
facilities and other financing facilities that may be redrawn as required. An increase in the
ScotPac inventory finance facility has been finalised during July 2026, providing additional
funding capacity. In addition, shareholders approved the Company's capacity to undertake
an equity capital raising at the AGM held on 27 May 2026, with that approval remaining
valid until 27 August 2026. The Company believes these funding sources provide
appropriate flexibility to support its operational requirements.
8.6.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business
objectives and, if so, on what basis?
The Company expects to continue its operations and meet its business objectives. This
expectation is supported by forecast improvements in operating performance and cash
flows, together with access to existing working capital facilities, financing arrangements and
available funding capacity to support ongoing operations.
Note: where item 8.5 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.6.1, 8.6.2 and 8.6.3 above must be answered.
