Select Harvests Reports Challenging FY2023 with Focus on Recovery in FY2024

Nov 24, 2023

Select Harvests Limited (ASX: SHV) reports a challenging FY2023 with a net loss after tax (NPAT) of (AU$114.7) million, significantly impacted by lower crop volumes and market pricing. The almond crop of 19,771 MT, though higher than the 1H estimate, faced adverse weather conditions, resulting in a lower quality profile. The almond price decreased to AU$6.42/kg. Operational challenges included increased crop costs due to supply issues and elevated chemical pricing.

The company's Business Improvement Program aims to enhance processing plant efficiency, targeting 40,000 MT capacity in FY2024. Despite a subdued almond market, Select Harvests managed a strategic approach, securing premium markets. The net bank debt/equity ratio stood at 46.2%, and the company remains focused on financial discipline and working capital management. The outlook for FY2024 anticipates favorable growing conditions, increased processing capacity, and additional profitability from external grower almond volumes.
