About SunRice’s structure
The structure of Ricegrowers Limited ABN 55 007 481 156
(“SunRice ”, “the Company”) contains Non -Standard
Elements, including:
1. The Company has a dual class share structure with
differential voting rights;
2. The Company’s Constitution imposes shareholding
limits on A Class Shares and B Class Shares; and
3. The Company’s Constitution outlines the composition of
the Board of Directors.
Details of these Non -Standard Elements are available on
SunRice’s website.
One of the conditions of the Company’s admission to the
official list of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in
2019 was the provision by SunRice of an undertaking to the
ASX that it would disclose, in its FY24 Annual Report,
whether it had considered removing the Non -Standard
Elements from its structure and operations, and if it had
decided not to remove the Non -Standard Elements for the
time being, its reasons for this.
In line with this obligation, SunRice disclosed in its FY24
Annual Report that it was conducting a strategic review
including a review of its structure and operations and that
this would include a review of the Non -Standard Elements
to assess whether the structure continues to be in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders generally.
As at the date of SunRice's FY26 Annual Report, the review
of the Non-Standard Elements is continuing. The Board
anticipates providing an update during FY27.
The Board considers that any changes to the Company’s
capital structure require careful consideration of a range
of strategic, commercial, and stakeholder factors. Should
any material recommendations arise from the Board’s
periodic reviews, they will be the subject of consultation
with the ASX and, where required, will be submitted to
shareholders for approval.
It should be noted that the interests of A Class
Shareholders are in achieving returns through Paddy
Prices. The interests of B Class Shareholders are in
achieving dividends on B Class Shares and improvement in
the market price of B Class Shares. The Directors are
required to act in the best interests of the Company as a
whole.
SunRice’s Directors have actively managed the interests of
both A Class and B Class Shareholders, in a listed
environment on both the NSX and ASX for almost 20 years
and the Directors believe they have demonstrated a strong
track record in balancing the interests of both classes of
shareholders.
In addition, the Board has adopted procedures to manage
any potential conflict or divergence of interests which may
arise, including establishing a committee of Non -Grower
Directors (the Independent Committee). These procedures
are set out in the SunRice Conflict of Interest Policy, which
is available on SunRice’s website.
For more details of the Non -Standard Elements of
SunRice’s structure see investors.sunrice.com.au.

This segment earns revenue from the sale
of primarily branded rice and rice -based
products, manufactured by the Group or
sourced from third party producers, to
retail, foodservice, and other industrial
customers in global locations (primarily the
US, Middle East, Pacific and Asia) outside of
Australia and New Zealand.
This segment earns revenue from the sale
of primarily branded rice and rice -based
products, as well as other grocery food and
companion animal nutrition products,
manufactured by the Group or sourced
from third party producers, to retail,
foodservice, and other industrial customers
in Australia and New Zealand.
This segment earns revenue from the bulk
sale of unbranded rice manufactured by the
Group primarily to government customers in
global locations (primarily in Asia). It also
earns revenue from the sale of branded and
unbranded animal feed products
manufactured by the Group to agricultural
customers in Australia and New Zealand.
This segment comprises the cost of central
functions and activities that are not directly
attributable to the operating segments. It
also captures centrally managed income
and cost items that are not allocated to the
operating segments. The timing, extent and
at times les recurring nature of these costs in
any given year, mean that the Corporate
segment’s results can be volatile.

FY26 Performance
SunRice Group’s FY26 earnings reflect the Group’s
focus on strategic growth and strengthening profit
margins, coupled with disciplined and agile execution
in a dynamic global environment marked by revenue
softening macro conditions.
Operating cash inflow: Increased to $141.8m in FY26
from prior $116.3m in FY25 driven by strong EBITDA
generation and a reduction in net working capital.
Investing cash outflow: Reduced in FY26 to $30.2m
from prior $62.2m, reflecting lower capital
expenditure, proceeds from non -core assets
divestment and no acquisition activity (FY25 included
the acquisitions of Simply Delish and SavourLife ).
Financing cash outflow : rose to $132m vs $38m PCP
mainly as operating cash inflow was used to repay
debt (while PCP relied more on borrowings for
acquisitions).

Capital Employed ($m) and ROCE 1
Positioned to
invest through
the cycle
ROCE 1 steady at 13.5%: Improving 3x since
FY21 low at 3.9%, reflecting efficient use of
capital across a structurally stronger, more
diversified earnings base.
Capital employed down to $809m (from
$853m), driven by lower working capital
and disciplined asset management,
including minor asset divestment.
Leverage at 1.1x from prior 1.5x, well below
target range of 2.0 –3.0x, providing flexibility
in balance sheet to support future growth.
Gearing ratio at 19%, well below target
ranges of 30 –40%, further supporting
balance sheet flexibility.
Investment: $36.6m in capital expenditure
for FY26 focused on continued
maintenance of core assets, lower vs PCP
due to offsetting divestment proceeds and
absence of M&A activity.

rebounding strongly to $105.2m in FY26,
highlighting effective cash recovery as
working capital unwinds.
Net working capital / Sales has remained
stable through the crop cycle ranging from
22-29% reflecting disciplined and
consistent working capital efficiency
relative to revenue.
