The appointment of 2 directors in August 2022 who helped steer us through change, Bruce Delacy as interim CEO, capital raised from the NREO and Placement, new CEO and director appointed in February, further changes to reduce the board size and appointments of industry experienced Operations Manager and Chief Financial Officer. The Group's net revenue from contracts with customers increased by 12% to $82.78 million (2022: $74.04 million). Revenue for the second half of FY23 was $44.58 million an increase of 17% from the first half of FY23. The Group incurred a loss after-tax of $9.11 million (2022: $19.78 million loss). Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was a loss of $0.2 million (2022: $4.62 million loss). The EBITDA in the second half of FY23 of $2.61 million represented a significant turnaround in the financial performance of the Group. During the second half of FY23, there was significant focus on improving farming activities, production, grading, and processing efficiencies, across the business. The re-instatement of our owned rearing facilities is progressing well with the first birds to be transferred to our laying farms in coming weeks. This is expected to reduce costs and achieve improved egg production. A number of new farm managers have been appointed as well as improvements in our farming operations. With greater focus across our grading floors and product plant improvements have also been achieved with further improvements identified. Cost pressures, like all businesses, remain high including labour, utilities, transport, feed and interest. We have sought to reduce unit costs by increasing efficiencies and obtain price increases to off-set these higher costs. In December 2022 we exited a large leased cage egg farm. While this is part of the Group's strategy to transition to non-cage production, occurring during a time of national shortage impacted egg supply and our ability to meet additional customer demand. The Group has entered into a contract of sale for a parcel of surplus non-arable land at Lethbridge, Geelong which on the satisfaction of a number of pre-conditions will deliver proceeds of $2.35 million, the majority of which will be applied to debt reduction. The Board thanks all our customers and suppliers for their continued support and our employees who are working hard to ensure the successful turnaround in the profitability of the Group.
