PROBIOTEC ANNUAL REPORT 20222 Contents Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders CEO Update Key Highlights Results Summary Strategy Corporate Governance Statement Financial Report Other Information Required by ASX 3 5 8 9 12 13 18 80 Registered office 83 Cherry Lane, Laverton North, Victoria 3026 Ph: (03) 9278 7555 Probiotec Limited ABN 91 075 170 151 Probiotec Limited and its controlled entities ACN 075 170 151 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 PROBIOTEC ANNUAL REPORT 20223 Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders Dear Shareholders, On behalf of your board of directors, it gives me great pleasure to present to you the 2022 Annual Report for Probiotec Limited (PBP). We are proud of what the group has achieved against a difficult operating backdrop. The performance over the past 12 months is testament to the defensible and resilient business model of Probiotec and to the commitment of the wider Probiotec team. The last 12 months have certainly tested us and thrown a number of challenges our way. In the face of unprecedented supply chain disruption, labour shortages, inflation and a myriad of operating challenges the company has continued to grow and deliver for shareholders. Tailwinds merging I believe as a result of the pandemic there has and will continue to be a fundamental shift in global supply chains. As such, the outlook for domestic manufacturing, especially in specialist industries such as the pharmaceutical industry in which Probiotec primarily operates, is materially improved. The pandemic has brought to the forefront the need for Australia to have increased sovereign manufacturing capability. Along with this, brand owners need to bring their supply chains closer to or within region to provide greater responsiveness and flexibility to the market and world events. We have seen widespread supply chain disruption and significant freight cost increases along with political and global instability. All of these events have fundamentally shifted the pendulum in favour of local manufacturing and supply or at least a diversification of supply chains resulting in more domestic supply. This onshoring of manufacturing has certainly commenced and we see this as an industry tailwind that is likely to benefit Probiotec for the foreseeable future. Strong financial and operational performance Record revenues of $182 million were accompanied by Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) of $32.8 million. These results demonstrate the robust and defensive nature of the PBP business. The results are a testament to the leadership of the PBP management team and the dedication and skills of our employees. Management remained agile in the operation of all PBP sites to ensure they remained safe and efficient as conditions evolved. The health and safety of PBP’s employees remains at the forefront of our thinking. Through the ongoing refinement of work practices, the flexibility of our work force, customer and supplier co-operation and nimbleness in execution we believe we are emerging from the pandemic in a stronger position than we entered. The pressures on management and the wider Probiotec team have remained at elevated levels and I wish to convey my PROBIOTEC ANNUAL REPORT 20224 sincerest thanks to the entire team who showed tremendous commitment over the past year. Their professionalism has prioritised safety, whilst we have seen delivery performance to our customers remain at the highest levels. Outlook for the future Whilst a level of uncertainty persists, the board and management expect to deliver growth in both sales and earnings again in FY23. In the short term, we see: • The continuation of the recovery and full year effect of cough, cold and flu category sales. We also believe that the category will sit above historical levels for the near future, given the ongoing nature of Covid-19 and the level of virus and transmission in the community; • New business wins which have been delayed during the pandemic have started to flow and will continue to flow into FY23 and FY24; and • Supply chain impacts, freight costs, and labour shortages continuing to provide operational and cost challenges albeit with management continuing to navigate these well. Looking to FY24 and beyond: • We are confident that onshoring industry tailwinds will continue to gather momentum and result in increasing opportunities for the group (across the breadth of our business); • We see significant breadth and depth of opportunity given the blue-chip nature of our client base; • We continue to win new business and build the future pipeline, and we expect further realisation and delivery of prior new business wins; • Realisation of synergies from site consolidation and further cost-out and rationalisation as the group comes together and the acquisitions completed over the past 2 to 3 years are fully integrated. Over the longer term, it continues to be our objective to become Australia’s leading manufacturer and packer of pharmaceutical, consumer health and FMCG products. We will continue to pursue value-accretive acquisitions; to invest in customer and site capabilities; to invest in and develop our people; to expand our relationships with Tier 1 customers; and to maximise opportunities that arise from the onshoring of domestic manufacturing. The achievement of this goal will require the continued support of all our stakeholders - customers, suppliers, employees and shareholders - and we are grateful for the opportunity to work with all of you and for your support. Conclusion As I enter my second year as Chairman, I am more excited than ever about the prospects of the company and look forward to contributing to the continuation of the growth journey we remain committed to. I wish to thank my fellow directors for their guidance, counsel and steady hands over the past year and look forward to continuing to take the company forward together. The results achieved would not have been possible without the leadership, vision and dedication of our CEO Wes Stringer, along with his entire executive team and all the staff at Probiotec. The entire team’s focus on excellence has again been demonstrated in this year’s result and the positioning of the company for the future. Yours sincerely, Jonathan Wenig Chairman of the board PROBIOTEC ANNUAL REPORT 20225 CEO Update Dear Shareholders, In what has been another challenging but very successful year I am immensely proud of the entire Probiotec team for their dedication and commitment to excellence. Record revenue and earnings were achieved again against the backdrop of the ongoing covid-19 pandemic, geopolitical issues, supply chain disruptions and inflationary cost pressures. Key Achievements Record revenue: $182.3m Record EBITDA: Underlying¹ $32.8m Net Debt / EBITDA <0.8 times² business shown to be highly resilient with an exciting platform in place the commitment, effort and professionalism of our management team has delivered an outstanding set of results for fy22 and the platform is set for the future:  covid management was again strong with all sites operating continuously throughout the entire year  strong new business wins have begun to flow and the growth of the future pipeline is expected to accelerate  onshoring tailwinds continue to gain momentum with global supply chains re-aligning due to freight, political issues and ongoing disruption  strong cost control has been exhibited against an inflationary environment operational summary despite a range of challenges thrown at us including supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and labour shortages to name a few, the group has delivered an outstanding result. record revenues were converted into record earnings. strong cash flows were also delivered, which saw net debt reduce over the year. late in the year, we saw the return in demand for cold & flu products as restrictions were lifted, and i am proud of our operational performance to meet this rapid increase in volumes and our ability to continue to maintain the high level of delivery performance to our customers that probiotec has become known for. whilst the financial results were pleasing, we have also kept an eye to the future with significant investment in new equipment to improve both capacity and capabilities, which we forecast will be needed to meet the businesses trajectory. we have also invested in a range of cost-out, efficiency programs and upgrades across our operating and information systems, which we continue to focus upon and invest in. sales and new business development we have invested heavily in additional sales resources over the past year, and this is reaping benefits with our future sales funnel showing promise. we have also invested in a stand-alone resource to further accelerate the esg objectives of the group as we see sustainability as a key responsibility and a pillar of our future success. as a group we now have access to the majority of global and local pharmaceutical and fmcg companies with the goal being to continue to grow our overall business with this broader customer base. this cross fertilisation as we refer to it internally, has begun to deliver a myriad of new business wins, with a range of further discussions on foot. global supply chains have seen considerable disruption coupled with material increases in global freight costs. whilst probiotec has navigated this backdrop, it has caused a shift in supply chain planning and long-term strategic sourcing with many of our customers. this thematic is a key focal point for our team and our customers, where we expect to see continued interest from our clients looking at securing their supply lines and localising more of their supply within australia. cost out and consolidation the past 12 months have seen a range of cost out initiatives delivered. the focus has been ramped up on automation, it systems and efficiency programs. this will be a persistent short, mid, and long term initiative of the group. the current footprint of the group results in significant duplication in operating costs, especially across nsw, with four operating sites. we are well progressed in our plans to consolidate our nsw sites into a state-of-the-art new custom-built facility that is forecast to deliver material savings to the group. this is an incredibly exciting project for the group and will bring a range of efficiency gains, “a record year with the platform set for sustained growth." 1 underlying results exclude amortisation of acquisition related intangibles ($2.5 million), fair value gains ($2.8 million) and non-recurring / transaction costs ($0.9 million). 2 based on underlying ebitda above. probiotec annual report 20226 capacity increases and a world class, ultra-competitive site to fruition. in addition to this, we expect to see continued margin and efficiency improvements from sharing and implementing the best systems and processes from each of the sites and leveraging the differing skill sets and experience we possess across the group's sites. future my confidence in the future of probiotec has never been higher. the platform we have built and the high performing team we have assembled is being supported by a number of macroeconomic tailwinds. whilst uncertainty remains the norm, we are confident of delivering growth in sales and earnings in both the short and long term. we believe we are well positioned for the future with a focus on our key strategic pillars:  organic growth  maximizing opportunities from onshoring and domestic manufacturing tailwinds  cost out and site consolidation synergies  acquisitions in addition to this, we have seen the return of our cough, cold and flu revenues after they were suppressed primarily due to covid related restrictions, and we forecast these to remain strong for the foreseeable future. all the above provides me with a great sense of purpose and confidence to take the business forward and continue to deliver on our strategy for our shareholders. closing i would like to extend my sincere thanks to our shareholders again for your continued support. on behalf of the leadership team, i once again would like to extend my gratitude to each and every staff member of the probiotec group. your dedication, efforts and professionalism over the past 12 months continues to take the business forward and allows us to deliver into the future. in closing i would also like to thank the board of probiotec whose support, guidance, leadership and watchful eye is greatly appreciated in these volatile times, and i look forward to continuing to work
