Company’s first seven months of trading operations.
• December result remains within the range of monthly trading outcomes achieved during the

• December trading impacted by seasonal rainy conditions in South Sulawesi, resulting in
reduced supply availability and higher farm-gate pricing.

relationships.
• Company continues to focus on scaling operations and positioning the business for growth in
2026, including supply chain development and export readiness.
Results Overview
The Board of BPH Global Ltd (ASX: BP8) advises that it has recorded gross revenue of IDR
1,882,500,000 (approximately A$171,136) for the December trading period (15 November to 14
December 2025). This brings aggregate gross revenue for the first seven months of trading to
approximately A$1.77 million (IDR 20.6 billion), reflecting the Company’s continued progress in
establishing and scaling its Indonesian seaweed operations.
The December result compares with A$551,627 (IDR 5,930,000,000) reported for the November
trading period (15 October to 14 November 2025), which represented a record monthly result.
Trading Context
While the December revenue was lower than the immediately preceding month, the result remains
within the range of monthly trading outcomes achieved during the Company’s first six months of
operations (see the November trading period announcement). As previously noted in earlier
updates, monthly trading volumes are subject to seasonal and market-related variability, which is
typical for the Indonesian seaweed industry.
Seasonal Factors Affecting December Sales
The reduction in sales during the December period was primarily attributable to seasonal factors
impacting supply and pricing conditions in South Sulawesi, including:
• The November–December rainy season in Makassar, during which rougher sea conditions
make seaweed farming more difficult. This typically results in smaller harvests and reduced
supply availability.
• Higher farm-gate pricing, with farmers in many cases selling seaweed at prices above the
resale prices achievable by the Company under existing customer contractual arrangements,
constraining economically viable trading volumes during the period.
These conditions are consistent with historical seasonal trading patterns and do not reflect any
deterioration in underlying demand for the Company’s products.

Operational Focus and Growth Strategy
During the December period, and continuing into the current quarter, the Company has remained
focused on building scale, strengthening its operational platform, and preparing for expanded
operations in 2026. This includes continued investment in:
• expanding and diversifying sourcing networks;
• optimising warehouse, logistics, and quality control processes in Makassar;
• deepening relationships with domestic and international customers; and
• progressing preparations for increased direct export activity under the Company’s
Indonesian Seaweed Export Licence.
The Company views the December period as part of a normal annual trading cycle, while longer-
term initiatives aimed at improving supply resilience, pricing flexibility, and margin sustainability
continue to advance.
Managing Director Commentary
Managing Director Matthew Leonard commented: “After delivering a record result in November, the
December period reflected normal seasonal conditions in the Indonesian seaweed sector. While
volumes were lower, the result remains consistent with the range of outcomes achieved during our
first six months of trading.
Importantly, the business has now generated approximately A$1.77 million in gross revenue over its
first seven months of operations, demonstrating strong early commercial traction. Our focus during
this period has been on positioning the Company for growth in 2026 by strengthening supply,
expanding customer relationships, and building a scalable operating platform capable of supporting
higher volumes and improved margins over time.”
Outlook
BPH Global remains focused on long-term growth and value creation, with management continuing
to execute on its strategy to scale operations, increase the proportion of higher-margin direct sales,
and expand export activity.
The Company will continue to provide monthly updates on sales volumes from its Indonesia-based
seaweed operations.
This announcement has been approved for release by the Board.
