Select Harvests Limited

Half Year Results Announcement and Western Australia Project Update

21 February 2013

Select Harvests today announces results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2012 with a Net Loss After Tax of

$19.5 million, including a $27.9 million after tax write down on its Western Australia Almond Orchard project. The

write down follows the completion of a full economic and horticultural review.

Excluding the impact of the Western Australia write down, 1H13 Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) increased 40% to $8.4

million, driven by higher almond crop yields, strong almond prices, operational improvements and lower debt levels

in the business.

Overview of Results:

Reported:

Reported Net Loss After Tax of $ 19.5 million, including the impact of Western Australia write down (after

tax) of $27.9 million

Non-cash write down on Western Australian Almond Orchard Project of $39.9 million (pre tax)

Operating cash flow of $11.5 million (1H12 $11.7 million)

Result excluding impact of write down of Western Australian project

Net Profit After Tax +40% to $8.4 million (1H12 $6.0 million)

Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) +53% to $14.4 million (1H12 $9.4 million)

Profit Before Tax (PBT) +94% to $12.0 million (1H12 $ 6.2 million), with interest expense down by 28%

as a result of lower debt and interest rates

Balance Sheet

Net Debt $61.2 million (1H12 $82.5 million), reduced by 26% over the last 12 months

The Directors announce an interim dividend (fully franked) of 3 cents per share, payable on 26 April 2013 and with

a Record Date of 8 March 2013. The dividend is lower than last year as directors seek to conserve balance sheet

capacity.

A more detailed summary of the result is included in the appendix to this announcement.

Commenting on the result, Paul Thompson, Managing Director, said “The underlying result reflects the combined

benefits of excellent growing conditions, improved market prices for almonds and a strong focus by management

on productivity, cost control, cash flows and reducing debt. The harvest has now commenced and the weather

outlook is encouraging. Assuming harvest conditions remain favourable, we are on track for a significant

improvement in full year underlying earnings”.

“While the write down from the Western Australian Almond Orchard Project is extremely disappointing, following the

outcome of the full economic and horticultural review, the priority for management is to maximise value from the

assets. Our business aim is to free up capital, strengthen the balance sheet and provide more flexibility to invest in

the growth of our company orchards business, which will ultimately improve the performance of Select Harvest’s

integrated almond business”.

Almond Division

Excluding the impact of the WA write down, Almond Division EBIT of $12.1 million (1H12 $7.9 million) increased

53% year on year, in spite of the loss of orchard management fees from Olam from 1 July 2012. Company

orchards EBIT was $8.9 million (1H12 $2.5 million), an increase of 260%. This was driven by a combination of

factors including new management’s yield, quality and cost initiatives, a greater emphasis on benchmarking,

customised orchard management practices to optimise tree health and productivity and the 2013 crop valuation,

which at the half year is based on best estimates of yield, almond price and costs.

An estimate of the yield for the 2013 crop has been developed based on 8,736 acres (3,540 ha) of planted almond

orchards in NSW and Victoria. The projected yield is 8,850 MT (1H12 5,830 MT), an increase of 52% on last year’s

projection. The crop forecast excludes the impact of the orchard acquisitions announced in January and February

2013.

An almond price for the 2013 crop of $6.08/kg has been estimated. This compares to a latest estimate 2012 crop

price of $5.05/kg ($4.94 estimated at time of 30 June accounts), a projected increase of 20% year on year, inclusive

of the impact of currency. To date, over 30% of the 2013 crop yield projection is committed to sales contracts

supportive of the almond price estimates. Currency hedging is in place against these commitments.

Production costs have benefitted this year from improved productivity and better than anticipated processing of the

2012 crop. Benchmarking of orchard programs, costs and yield outcomes remains a key focus for the management

team to ensure industry best practises are in place. Notably, orchard operating costs have been maintained in line

with prior year whilst absorbing incremental costs of temporary water, which are now part of the orchard costs,

following the sale of the majority of the permanent water rights in FY12. New technologies, including “leaf pressure

moisture testing” have recently been implemented to help optimise the timing of harvest across each orchard.

Managed Orchard EBIT of $3.2 million (1H12 $ 5.5 million) was down 39% due to the lost orchard management fee

income from Olam. The first half result includes a component of fee income for the processing of the residual 2012

Olam crop which will fall out in the second half of FY13 as Olam takes this activity in house.

The primary processing plant in Northern Victoria is now operating with improved efficiency. A pasteuriser has

been installed to support processing of the 2013 crop, making Select Harvests the first in the Australian almond

industry to have the capability to supply “in-house” pasteurised almonds to its customers.

To assist in understanding the Select Harvests almond orchard portfolio (owned/ leased and managed), refer to the

portfolio summary included as an appendix to this announcement.

Western Australia Project

Select Harvests’ strategy has been to diversify the geographical location of its orchard portfolio by expanding its

Company Orchards. An initial feasibility study, which commenced in 2005, supported by independent expert

advice, was supportive of the potential to grow and process almonds in a 10,000 acre ( 4,048 hectares)

development in Western Australia. It was anticipated other parties would join Select Harvests in this investment.

The Company proceeded with the initial Greenfield development in Western Australia resulting in 3,949 acres

(1,599 hectares) being planted. However a number of factors have compounded to impede the development:

Following the GFC there has been a lack of interest from potential investors in almond orchards,

particularly greenfields developments, resulting in the Project having significantly lower scale compared to

the original strategy.

Select doesn’t have the financial capacity to develop the entire project

Horticultural challenges, including impact of climate and soils

Unforeseen and uncontrollable cost increases such as the cost of power and water extraction being in

excess of 50% higher than the East Coast

At 30 June 2012 the Company booked an impairment provision of $20 million to reflect the valuation impact caused

by the quantity, quality and costs of farming relative to the capital invested. A formal independent expert review of

all horticultural and economic aspects of the project was initiated. The review is now complete and has found that

terrain and soil conditions have been more challenging than anticipated, while water requirements and the power

costs associated with the project have proved to be significantly higher than expected.

The book value of the Western Australia almond orchard assets has been written down, and management will now

plan to realise the optimal value of this asset, which may include a sale as a going concern.

Orchard Acquisitions

Consistent with the Company’s strategy to acquire established orchards on the East Coast, Select Harvests

completed two acquisitions in Wemen, Victoria in January/February 2013 to bring Select Harvests total Company

Orchards (owned and leased) to 10,022 acres (4,057 ha). The acquisitions represented the opportunity to acquire

high performing orchards with attractive yield profiles located close to the company’s state of the art processing

facility. The Company will continue to look at opportunities to invest in yielding orchards on the east coast where it

makes financial sense to do so.

The half year result does not include the impact of the 1,286 acres (521 ha) of orchards acquired in

January/February 2013. The benefit of these acquisitions will be reflected in the full year result, where EBIT

derived from ownership will more than offset the loss of management fees relating to these orchards, the impact

being earnings accretive, applying prevailing crop yield and almond price projections.

In addition to the Company Orchards, Select Harvest also manages 1,427 acres (528 ha) of almond orchards on

behalf of 3rd parties. Combined with the Company Orchards and Managed Orchards, this brings the total Select

Harvests almond portfolio to 11,449 acres (4,635 ha).

Also in February, the Company renegotiated a long term processing and marketing agreement for 1,782 acres (721

hectares) of mature orchards with an existing investor grower effective March 31st.

Food Division

The Food division achieved Net Sales of $74.7 million, an increase of 2% compared to last year. EBIT increased

15% to $4.0 million. Improvement in underlying profitability is largely due to margin mix and cost reduction

initiatives coming through. Working capital across the food business has reduced by 14% year on year, driven by

the continued efforts on range rationalisation and supply chain management.

The management team will continue to focus on refining the product range, quality and development of insight

driven strategies to grow market share, reducing costs and improving returns on capital employed.

Debt and Cash flow development

The Company has deliberately targeted debt reduction, asset optimisation and the balance sheet. As a result, the

sale of permanent water rights in 2012 and strong operating cash flows has enabled the company to maintain the

capacity to take advantage of a number of acquisition opportunities that have emerged.

The gearing ratio is 44.3 %, after the impact of the WA write down. Excluding the impact of the WA write down,

gearing is at 36.9%, compared to 47.6% at the same time last year.

Outlook

The outlook for FY13 remains positive and the harvest began this week with reports of good yields of bright,

sizeable kernels. The full exposure to the almond value chain through an increase in Company orchards will

provide strong leverage to earnings and cash flows given the maturity profile of the Company orchard portfolio. The

current yield and almond price projections, if realised, will benefit the full year earnings accordingly.

The reduced future investments in the Western Australia Project will provide improved balance sheet capacity

through substantial cash flow savings and will free up significant management time. Combined with the now

minimal capital expenditure commitments required in the outlook period, this will position the company well to

deploy those cash flows to other more certain and higher returning commercial opportunities that will boost group

processing capacity utilisation and return on capital. In this regard, the Company will continue to evaluate

opportunities to increase the orchard portfolio where it makes financial sense to do so.

The objective of growing almond processing volumes through establishing new contracts with third party growers in

the Sunraysia and Riverina districts will remain a key focus, aimed at improving capacity utilisation and helping to

encourage new almond industry investment in areas that are in need of processing capacity.

The Company continues to focus on the “One Select” performance improvement program, including a focus on

culture, process, growth, innovation, cost savings and working capital reductions. Positive outcomes have been

delivered across the business and significant opportunities for continued improvement remain.

Looking forward, Select Harvests’ integrated business model leaves the Company well positioned to take full

advantage of the positive dynamics of the international almond market to increase shareholder returns.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparation of half-year report This general purpose interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2012 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2012 and any public announcements made by Select Harvests Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. 2. COMPARATIVE INFORMATION The Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows provide comparative information for the half-year ended 31 December 2011. The Balance Sheet provides comparative information as at 30 June 2012. Where necessary, the comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned to be consistent with the current year disclosures. 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The consolidated entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. In addition to those critical accounting estimates and assumptions disclosed in the Group's previous annual financial report, the estimates and assumptions that have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Inventory - Current Year Almond Crop The current year almond crop is classified as a biological asset and valued in accordance with AASB 141 "Agriculture". In applying this standard, the consolidated entity has made various assumptions at the interim balance date as the current year almond crop is only partially through the growing season. The main assumptions include future almond selling prices of $6.08 per kg and almond yield based on a crop estimate for Company Orchards of 8,850mt. The actual outcome of these assumptions will not be known until the almond crop is brought through to harvest and sold.

WA Project expenditure Following a formal independent expert review of all horticultural and economic aspects of the Western Australia Greenfield orchard development, it has been found that the growing conditions have been more challenging than anticipated and water requirements and power costs have proved to be significantly higher than expected. The assessment, based on experience so far, is that commercial crop yields can only be achieved in this geographical area, with significant future investment and this would not be without a high level of horticultural risk. As a result of the review a decision has been made to impair the carrying value of the assets, with write downs of biological assets of $26,147,387 and impairment losses of property, plant and equipments of $13,760,204 recognised. The remaining amount capitalised on the balance sheet of $5,000,000, consisting of land and irrigation infrastructure, plant and equipment represents the estimated recoverable amount of the assets, less cost to sell. A number of judgements have been made in determining the estimated recoverable amount of the assets, including considerations in relation to the nature of the assets, the location of the assets and the alternate uses of the assets. It is reasonably possible, on the basis of existing knowledge, that outcomes in the future that are different from the assumptions could require an adjustment to the carrying amount, either positive or negative. 4. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE On 21 February 2013, the Directors declared a fully franked interim dividend of 3 cents per ordinary share to be paid on 26 April 2013 to shareholders registered at 5.00pm on 8 March 2013. On 17 January 2013 Select Harvests purchased 690 acres of almond orchards in Northern Victoria for $4.3 million cash consideration, which included $3.0 million for the orchard assets and $1.3 million for title to the 2013 crop. On 4 February 2013 Select Harvests purchased 596 acres of almond orchards in Northern Victoria for $3.3 million, which included $2.7 million for the orchard assets and $0.6 million for title to the 2013 crop. Details of the purchase consideration are as follows: Purchase consideration Cash Paid $2.0 million Deferred consideration $1.3 million The following assets and liabilities were acquired in both of the above transactions: Property, plant and equipment Biological assets – almond trees Inventory Deferred tax liability The fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired are in the process of being determined at the date of this report.
