Further Trading Statement

Sea Harvest Group Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number: 2008/001066/06)
Share code: SHG ISIN: ZAE000240198
("Sea Harvest" or "the Group")


FURTHER TRADING STATEMENT

Sea Harvest is currently finalising its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are
expected to be released on the Stock Exchange News Service ("SENS") of the JSE Limited ("JSE") on
or about Tuesday, 3 March 2026.

Shareholders are referred to the trading statement published on SENS on Tuesday, 25 November 2025
in terms of which shareholders were advised that the Group was satisfied that a reasonable degree of
certainty existed that, for the financial year ending 31 December 2025, basic headline earnings per
share ("HEPS") from total operations would be more than 200% higher than the reported HEPS for the
prior comparative period.

Shareholders are further referred to the announcement published on SENS on Friday,
21 November 2025 in terms of which shareholders were advised of the Group's proposed disposal of
Ladismith Cheese. In accordance with IFRS 5: Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations, Ladismith Cheese has been classified as held for sale and presented as a discontinued
operation in the financial results for the year ended 31 December 2025. As a result, including for
comparative purposes, earnings per share ("EPS") and HEPS now reflect total, continuing and
discontinued operations.

The Group's results for the current year show a significant improvement compared to the prior
comparative period notwithstanding certain impairments, and is primarily attributable to:

•     higher catch rates, significantly improved pricing and efficiency gains in the hake business;
•     efficiency gains in the pelagic business;
•     increased milk flow in the dairy business; and
•     a keen focus on cost control across the Group.

In accordance with section 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE, shareholders are advised
that the Group expects to report for the financial year ended 31 December 2025:

                                31 Dec 2025        31 Dec 2024           Expected         31 Dec 2024
                                                                         range of
                                  Expected           Restated            increase          Reported
                                results range         (cents)            based on           (cents)
                                   (cents)                             31 Dec 2024
                                                                        (Restated)

                                                                           (%)

    Basic HEPS – Group               216 - 222              55          293 - 303                 55

    Continuing Operations            192 - 196              36          434 – 444                N/A

    Discontinued Operations            24 - 26              19            25 - 35                N/A



    Basic EPS - Group                  79 - 86               72            10 - 20                72

    Continuing Operations             95 – 101               53            80 – 90               N/A

    Discontinued Operations         (16) – (14)              19       (185) – (175)              N/A

The difference in HEPS and EPS is largely attributable to:

•   the impairment of the Australian segment as a result of the 50% effort reduction in the Shark Bay
    prawn fishery;
•   the impairment of the Aquaculture segment as a result of the mothballing of the Kleinzee and
    Whale Rock abalone farms and depressed consumer demand in China and Hong Kong; and
•   the impairment of the Cape Harvest Food segment as a result of the proposed disposal of
    Ladismith Cheese, with the assets' carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value less cost to
    sell.

The financial information and any forward-looking statements in this announcement have not been
reviewed or reported on by the Group's auditors.
