FINANCIAL REVIEW

PFT delivered $2.7 million in sales for Q3 FY22, a 23% increase on the previous corresponding period. The significant increase in sales is a result of our increased product offering, and expanded distribution. Notably, the Plant-based foods segment, encompassing Lauds and The Cashew Creamery, grew at 368% Q3 FY22 v Q3 FY21.

PFT spent a total of $3.84 million on business activities during the March quarter; a 0.7% increase on the prior quarter. Expenditure for the quarter comprised of approximately $2.14 million for product manufacturing and operating costs, $1.42 million for staff costs, $0.20 million for administration and corporate costs, and $0.08 million for advertising and marketing.

On capital expenditure for the quarter, PFT spent $0.14 million to bring YTD capital expenditure to $1.76 million.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

The quarter saw strong demand across PFT's product portfolio. Key operational highlights include:

Woodbridge Smokehouse: Delivered a very strong Q3 with sales up 28% vs PCP driven by our growing distribution channels within Australia and Asia, and robust consumer demand.

Daly Potato Co: Sales were strong as demand for potatoes grew with the arrival of the Summer salad season. The homestyle coleslaw in Woolworths continued to grow with another period of strong revenue growth. Daly Potato Co entered a partnership with the Tasmanian AFL State League with a sponsorship of the league's competition live stream. The partnership has already been a success, reaching the brand's target market around Tasmania and across Australia.
