Group Chair's statement
Delivering sustainable growth and value creation"Our task now is to accelerate the
execution of our Capital Markets Day strategy, to ensure we deliver on a consistent basis over the coming years."
Paul Duffy
Group Chair
Introduction
On 1 January 2026, I took up my role as Group Chair of Glanbia plc, having already served four years as a Non-Executive Director, succeeding Donard Gaynor.
Firstly, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Donard for his dedicated service and leadership of Glanbia over the past twelve years, including his five years as Group Chair. Donard made a valuable contribution during a period of significant evolution for the business.
Since joining the Board in 2021, I have seen firsthand the strength and clarity of Glanbia's purpose of delivering better nutrition. The Group enjoys a number of enduring strategic advantages: a high-
quality portfolio of brands and ingredients, strong positions in attractive health and wellness categories, a broad international presence and a values-driven culture underpinned by a highly committed workforce. Together, these strengths provide a robust foundation for sustainable long-term value creation.
Glanbia operates in a dynamic global environment and the Board remains focused on ensuring that the Group is well
positioned to navigate this landscape while continuing to pursue disciplined growth.
In recent months, I have engaged with leaders, colleagues and stakeholders across our key markets - strengthening my already well-established understanding of the business and sharpening my perspective on the strategic, operational and market dynamics that will define our next phase of growth. A consistent theme from these engagements is Glanbia's differentiated position in high-growth nutrition categories, underpinned by an exceptional portfolio that supports consumers in achieving their health and wellness goals. I am impressed by the strength of our customer relationships, the
depth of operational and technical capability across the Group and the resilience of our financial profile over the long-term. These attributes position the business well to deliver steady, long-term returns.
These reflections highlight both the scale of the opportunity ahead and the importance of disciplined, consistent execution to realise the full potential of our portfolio. As Group Chair, my priority is to ensure that the Board provides effective oversight, rigorous challenge and clear strategic
direction as the Group advances its growth
agenda. Glanbia remains firmly focused on delivering long-term, sustainable value for shareholders, customers and employees.
Results and 2025 performance 2025 was a challenging year for Glanbia as the business navigated headwinds, including a volatile macroeconomic environment, trade and tariff disruption and unprecedented whey input cost inflation. The business delivered a reduced financial performance in 2025, with adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") of
134.93 $c, a decline of 3.4% versus 2024 on a constant currency basis. Momentum improved in the second half of the year.
The Group's continued focus on
cash management delivered a strong performance, with an operating cash flow ("OCF") of $454.4 million (2024: $485.1 million), which represents an OCF conversion of 91.0% (2024: 88.0%). Delivery against our targets for 2026 will require focused execution, underpinned by strong governance, disciplined capital allocation and a continued focus on effective delivery. The Board will continue to closely oversee progress, ensuring that our new strategic priorities are translated into tangible outcomes.
Strategic Report Directors' Report Sustainability Statement Financial Statements Other Information 9
Strategy
In 2025, Glanbia unveiled a new set of strategic priorities and medium-term financial targets for the period 2026-2028. This refreshed strategy and new operating model brings greater focus to our high growth, high margin segments of Performance Nutrition and Health & Nutrition, while focusing on optimising returns from Dairy Nutrition as a scale dairy platform. The Group's transformation programme is progressing, with the objective of unlocking efficiencies that will be used to fund growth and drive shareholder returns. The programme is
focused on delivering operating efficiencies, accelerating digital transformation and streamlining our portfolio, to increase cash generation and support sustainable returns to shareholders.
Shareholder returns
We are committed to a framework
of progressive returns to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet. In line with our capital allocation policy, we returned €197.2 million to shareholders through our share buyback programmes during the year. The Board has recommended a final dividend per share of 25.67 €cent, representing a total 2025 dividend of 42.87 €cent. This is a 10%
increase on prior year and a payout ratio of 35.9%, reflecting our ongoing commitment to maintaining a consistent and progressive dividend policy. The Board has approved authority for an additional €100 million
in share buybacks in 2026.
Board, governance and leadership changes
Good governance is crucial for all businesses. While the executive leadership team is responsible for driving performance, the role of the Board is to provide appropriate support and challenge.
To support its oversight duties, the Board discharges some of its responsibilities through its Committees framework. This structure allows the Board to concentrate on strategy, performance, talent, governance and risk, and stakeholder engagement, thereby optimising the Board's collective time. The Committee Chairs report to the Board after each Committee meeting, ensuring effective communication and the ability to escalate matters to the agenda of the full Board, when necessary.
EBITDA (pre-exceptional)
$499.1m
2024: $551.3m
I would like to sincerely thank all Board members for their contributions in 2025. During the period, there were a number of changes: Senan Murphy joined the Board on 30 April as an Independent Non-Executive Director, replacing Dan O'Connor, who retired on 30 April. William Carroll joined the Board as a nominee of Tirlán
Co-operative Society Limited (the "Society") on 12 June, replacing Gerard O'Brien who retired on 11 June. I was appointed Group Chair, effective 1 January 2026.
During the year, Committee compositions were refreshed to ensure ongoing alignment with best practice and the Group's evolving governance needs. These are discussed in detail in the Nomination and Governance Committee Report on pages 100-103.
Employee engagement
Employee engagement remains central to our leadership approach, strengthening our culture and informing our understanding of what matters most to employees. Through our annual employee engagement survey, we identify priority areas for improvement. The Board and management have considered the findings of our 2025 engagement survey and will build on existing strengths and address areas
for improvement in 2026.
Sustainability
We know that executing our sustainability agenda will help make Glanbia a stronger and more resilient business for the future. Our sustainability strategy, 'Better Nutrition, Better World' focuses on three key pillars: planet, people and performance. During 2025, we continued to make progress against our key targets. This is discussed
in more detail in our Sustainability Review on pages 46-53.
Revenue
$3.9bn
2024: $3.8bn
Looking ahead
The Board and leadership team are firmly focused on consistent delivery against our medium-term performance targets and creating long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders. I am confident that we can achieve this through disciplined execution of our strategy.
I am honoured to take up the role of Group Chair and excited about the opportunities ahead. I know that our colleagues across the organisation share the Board's commitment to unlocking Glanbia's full potential.
Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to express our sincere thanks to our employees and partners worldwide for their dedication, resilience and integrity.
Together, we remain focused on delivering better nutrition and building a strong, sustainable Glanbia for the future.

Chief Executive Officer's review
Delivering our next phase of growth"We are reshaping Glanbia into a more focused, higher-growth nutrition business. With a clear strategy, strong execution and exposure to attractive, growing markets and categories, we are well positioned to deliver sustainable earnings growth and long-term shareholder value."
Hugh McGuire
CEO Glanbia plc
Introduction
2025 marked an important year of strategic progress for Glanbia as we sharpened our focus on the highest-value parts of our portfolio and strengthened our foundations for long-term growth. We operate at the intersection of powerful consumer megatrends in nutrition - rising protein consumption, functional wellness, clean-label formulations and personalised health - and we are uniquely positioned to capture the opportunities these create.
Over the past year we accelerated our group-wide transformation - driving efficiencies and reshaping the Group to simplify and bring greater focus to our key growth engines, Performance Nutrition and Health & Nutrition, while also establishing Dairy Nutrition as our scale dairy platform.
We strengthened leadership across the organisation, adding key new roles and injecting capability and ambition.
Combined with the deep expertise already embedded in Glanbia, this positions us strongly for our next phase of growth.
Our purpose - delivering better nutrition -continues to align strongly with consumer demand and market opportunity.
Supported by our global footprint, a differentiated portfolio and a strong balance sheet, we are confident in our ability to deliver sustained long-term value creation for shareholders.
Results and 2025 performance 2025 was marked by a volatile macroeconomic environment, including trade and tariff disruption as well as exceptional whey input cost inflation, which represented a significant challenge for our Performance Nutrition segment. Notwithstanding these challenges, the business performed resiliently and we were pleased to deliver volume and like-for-like revenue growth across all three segments. We delivered adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") of 134.93 $c, a decline of 3.4% versus 2024 on a constant currency basis, driven by growth across our portfolio of better nutrition brands and ingredients, offset
by record whey inflation.
Cash flow generation is a key strength for Glanbia. In 2025 we delivered operating cash conversion of 91.0%, enabling us to increase the dividend by 10% and return
€197.2 million to shareholders via share buybacks. We continue to be ambitious for accretive M&A given our current debt
facilities of approximately $1.4 billion. Growth is my top priority for the business. Through our group-wide transformation programme, we have taken decisive actions across the business, and I am confident that we are well positioned to return to earnings growth in the year ahead.
Performance Nutrition delivered like-for-like revenue growth of 2.8% in 2025. This was driven by a 2.0% increase in volume and a 0.8% increase in price. The volume increase was largely driven by good growth in online and food, drug, mass ("FDM") channels, somewhat offset by challenges in the US club and speciality channels and declines
in non-core brands which have now been disposed of. Optimum Nutrition delivered a 6.4% increase in like-for-like revenue.
Optimum Nutrition and Isopure both delivered double-digit volume growth in the second half. Our teams executed with discipline and delivered sequential improvement through the second half,
demonstrating the resilience of our business.
Our newly created Health & Nutrition segment brings dedicated focus to providing high quality, specialist nutritional vitamin mineral premix solutions and great tasting natural and organic flavour systems
Strategic Report Directors' Report Sustainability Statement Financial Statements Other Information 11
across all product formats. Our focus is on high-growth end-use markets including active lifestyle nutrition, functional beverages and vitamins, minerals and supplements. Health & Nutrition delivered a strong performance in 2025, with
like-for-like revenue increasing by 6.8%. H&N delivered strong growth across premix and flavour solutions, with particularly good growth in Europe and Asia.
"We have a clear and disciplined plan to drive Glanbia's next stage of growth, supported by five strategic priorities that will guide resource allocation over the period."
Dairy Nutrition is our newly established, scale dairy platform. It combines our whey protein solutions and US cheese portfolio and is largely one integrated manufacturing footprint as well as the route to market for our joint venture supply of whey and cheese. Dairy Nutrition is a leading producer of whey protein solutions and American-style cheddar cheese. Dairy Nutrition delivered a strong performance in 2025, growing like-for-like revenue by 5.0%. This was driven by a 4.2% volume increase, as the business benefited from strong demand for protein solutions, targeting ready-to-eat bars and snacks; and strong demand for bioactives, including colostrum.
Refreshed strategy and mid-term targets
At our Capital Markets Day in November, we outlined our refreshed strategy and three-year financial targets for 2026-2028. Our clear and disciplined plan to drive Glanbia's next stage of growth is supported by five strategic priorities:
Continue to drive Optimum Nutrition globally, as well as growing our lifestyle brands.
Scale our Health & Nutrition business, strengthening our position as a leading solutions partner across priority
end-use markets.
Optimise Dairy Nutrition to maximise profitability across our scaled operations.
Expand internationally and leverage our global supply chain and commercial footprint.
Invest in innovation to ensure we remain at the forefront of rapidly evolving categories.
We are ambitious for growth. Our medium-term financial targets reflect the strength of our portfolio and the structural tailwinds in our categories. We expect to deliver annual organic revenue growth of 5-7% in Performance Nutrition and 4-6% in Health & Nutrition. We aim to deliver earnings growth ahead of revenue in both segments, supported by our group-wide transformation programme. Dairy Nutrition will deliver annual EBITDA in the range of
$150 to $160 million.
At a Group level, we are targeting annual
adjusted EPS growth of 7-11% constant currency and increasing our cash conversion target from 80% to 85%, underscoring the resilience and quality of our earnings. We will continue to invest with discipline to drive growth and enhance returns. Glanbia has maintained a progressive dividend policy since 1998, with a strong track record of shareholder returns. From 2020-25, we returned €1.2 billion to shareholders via dividends and share buybacks. We have increased our dividend payout ratio from 25-35% to 30-40% as part of our long-term capital allocation framework.
Group-wide transformation Twelve months ago, we launched an ambitious, group-wide transformation
programme, targeting $50 million in annual savings. Strong momentum across the programme means we are now on track to deliver $60 million savings annually by 2027.
The programme comprises four key pillars. First, we have simplified our operating model, establishing dedicated Dairy Nutrition and Health & Nutrition segments and strengthening capabilities within Performance Nutrition.
Second, we are delivering meaningful supply chain efficiencies by creating centres of excellence across procurement, engineering, planning and quality, and by accelerating automation across our manufacturing network.
Third, we are advancing our digital transformation, substantially completing the outsourcing of selected back-office functions while centralising and standardising processes, supported
by AI-enabled tools.
Finally, we are optimising our portfolio. In 2025, we completed the divestment of
SlimFast and Body & Fit, and expanded our capabilities and geographic reach with the acquisition of Sweetmix in Brazil, while also reaching agreement to acquire Scicore in India. These additions strengthen our ability to grow with key customers in strategically important markets.
We will continue to review and refine our
portfolio to ensure we are well positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value.
Our people
Throughout 2025, I have taken great pride in the dedication and capability of our teams across the Group. During the year, we made several appointments to the Group Operating Executive. Sorcha McKenna joined Glanbia as Chief Strategy Officer, while Arnaud Schuh was appointed CEO of Health & Nutrition. Tom Tench and Steve Waters were appointed CEO of Dairy Nutrition and Chief Supply Chain Officer, respectively. Our Chief HR Officer, Sue Sweem announced her intention to retire
in 2026, after an outstanding career with Glanbia, to be succeeded by Aisling Zito. I extend my congratulations to all our appointees. Finally, I want to thank Brian
Phelan, who retired at the end of 2025, for his many years of exceptional leadership and dedicated service to Glanbia.
Looking to the future
Glanbia is at the heart of better nutrition. We believe in the power of nutrition to unlock potential in everyone. We are a protein powerhouse and our nutrition brands and ingredients help consumers all over the world achieve their everyday fitness, health and nutrition goals.
2025 was a year of significant change for our business.
Finally, I want to thank our entire team who have worked tirelessly this past year.
Thanks to your hard work and commitment, we are laying the foundations for a stronger business.

Enterprise-wide innovation
Protein continues to grow in demand and popularity because of its health and nutritional benefits. Glanbia is a protein powerhouse leveraging our protein technology and expertise across our B2B and B2C business. The Isopure ready-to-mix protein powder is an excellent example of group-wide innovation where H&N and DN worked to deliver a protein, premix and flavour solution for the Isopure brand within PN.
H&N worked with Isopure to ensure the ready-to-mix protein powder contained a very strong nutritional profile with 21 vitamins and minerals included in the blend, alongside great tasting flavour. We are taking advantage of the synergies across our segments to optimise end applications for protein, flavour and nutrition to create great tasting products and deliver excellent nutrition.
Transformation in action
Transforming for growthLast year, we announced an ambitious group-wide transformation programme to build a simpler, more effective operating model to deliver growth and efficiencies.
We initially set out with the ambition to save $50m+ annually but we have made significant progress and
are on-track to deliver $60m+ of annual savings by 2027. The programme has four key elements:
Annual savings by 2027
$60m+
1. Simplified our operating model
We have undertaken a significant these segments to focus on execution transformation in separating our against their own individual strategies. Glanbia Nutritionals business into Dairy We also reorganised and injected new Nutrition and Health & Nutrition, capabilities into our Performance recognising the fundamentally different Nutrition business to enable us to nature and trajectory of these compete better in new product formats businesses. This separation enables and accelerate our innovation pipeline.
2. Delivering supply chain efficiencies
We are progressing the centralisation of the Group's supply chain model to deliver synergies, drive excellence to support growth and accelerate procurement savings. A key element of our transformation programme is leveraging our 'One Glanbia' supply chain ambition to bring the benefits of global scale across all
our businesses.
Case Study
One global supply chain
We are centralising key activities including procurement, engineering, planning and quality into centres of excellence and driving efficiency through a mixture of automation and continuous improvement, initially focussed on our high-speed consumer goods lines. In addition, we are leveraging our global manufacturing footprint across PN and H&N through our combined blending capacity with over 60 blenders across ten manufacturing sites to develop tubs, bags and sachets for both businesses. By doing this, it significantly increases our capacity across our business to meet our growth ambitions, improve
agility and reduce cost. This will support our international expansion, especially as we scale.

3. Accelerating digital transformation
Digital transformation is fundamentally across our back-office functions, reshaping how we operate and compete while simultaneously deploying AI in the marketplace. We are driving and advanced analytics to power efficiency through intelligent front-office growth initiatives. automation and process optimisation
Case Study
Automating and modernising business support to drive efficiencies
In 2025, we implemented a suite of Finance and HR services and deliver best-in-class business process connected mobile-first experiences for automation technologies which included our manufacturing workers. This is a robotic process automation ("RPA") and scalable ecosystem designed to extend leading Finance and HR management into additional areas which will drive systems. This enabled us to automate and ongoing efficiency improvements and modernise business processes, outsource enhanced employee experiences.
4. Optimise our portfolio
We are actively optimising our portfolio to focus capital on our highest-growth opportunities. We successfully divested SlimFast and Body & Fit during 2025, enabling us to strategically reinvest in high-potential markets, including our
acquisitions of Sweetmix in Brazil and Scicore in India.1 Sweetmix establishes our Health & Nutrition platform in Latin America. Scicore will deliver critical
in-market manufacturing capacity to serve both Performance Nutrition and
Health & Nutrition across a rapidly expanding region. These targeted moves strengthen our presence in high-growth geographies and demonstrate our commitment to value-accretive M&A
as a cornerstone of our growth strategy.

Strategic relevance
Revenue growth is a key indicator of how the Group is succeeding in developing through investment in organic growth and the ongoing acquisition programme.
In addition, there are a number of key components of Group revenue
(price, volume and acquisitions) which are actively monitored to provide greater insight into performance.
Performance
In 2025, revenue was $3.9 billion (2024: $3.8 billion), an increase of 2.3% on a constant currency ("cc") basis (2.8% reported) versus 2024.
Revenue increase versus 2024 was driven by volume growth of 3.7%, pricing increases of 0.5%, net acquisitions/disposals of 0.1% and partially offset by 2.0% relating to the 53rd week adjustment.
Strategic relevance
Revenue volume growth is an important metric for the Group as it represents the underlying growth in sales to customers excluding any impact of price. Volume is further broken down by segment to understand the brand growth within PN, H&N and DN.
Performance
Overall volumes increased by 3.7% in 2025 versus 2024.
Volumes in PN increased by 2.0% and was driven by growth in Optimum Nutrition.
Volumes in H&N increased by 7.4% and was driven by growth in both premix and flavour solutions.
Volumes in DN increased by 4.2% and was driven by strong whey protein demand.
Strategic relevance
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation ("EBITDA"), pre-exceptional items, is the key performance measure for the wholly-owned segments of the Group. The exclusion of depreciation and amortisation aids comparability between our segments.
EBITDA margin is a key metric to ensure that growth is being driven in a responsible manner by maintaining margins within an
acceptable range. The strategy for the Group is to focus on higher growth and higher margin products within PN, H&N and DN.
Performance
EBITDA was $499.1 million in 2025, a decrease of 9.4% cc, and a decrease of 9.5% reported versus 2024, mainly due to higher whey input costs in PN.

Strategic relevance
Profit after tax is the measure of the profit generated by the Group for the year, post tax and post exceptional items.
Performance
Profit after tax comprises pre-exceptional profit of $283.9 million (2024: $310.3 million) and exceptional costs of $100.6 million (2024: $145.6 million). The $26.4 million decrease versus 2024, in pre-exceptional profit after tax, is driven by lower profits in PN. The $18.6 million increase in profit after tax is driven by lower exceptional charges in the year.
Strategic relevance
Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is an important IFRS reporting metric and relates to EPS of the Group post tax and post exceptional items.
Performance
Basic EPS was 73.16 $c, an increase of 19.7% cc and a reported increase of 15.7% versus 2024, driven by lower exceptional costs.
Strategic relevance
Adjusted EPS is an important measure of the profitability of the Group as it represents the underlying profit per equity share
in issue.
Performance
The Group reported adjusted Earnings Per Share of 134.93 $c, a decline of 3.4% cc (decline 3.6% reported) versus 2024, with
the backdrop of strong demand for protein, premix and flavours, rising input costs, tariff headwinds and continuing geopolitical volatility.
Performance condition of Glanbia's Annual Incentive Scheme.
Both EBITDA and OCF are presented on a pre-exceptional basis.
Performance condition of Glanbia's Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Strategic relevance
Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE") measures the efficiency of the Group's organic and acquisition investment programme as well as the utilisation of its assets.
Performance
ROCE decreased by 110bps to 11.3% (2024: 12.4%), due to lower profitability driven by higher input costs in PN.
Strategic relevance
Operating Cash Flow ("OCF") conversion is a measure of the Group's ability to convert trading profits to cash, which is then available for strategic investments and dividend payments.
Performance
OCF conversion was 91.0% in 2025 (2024: 88.0%) which is ahead of the 80% OCF conversion target for the year.

Climate change is impacting all of society. At Glanbia, we are committed to doing our part by focusing on our most material areas. Our 'Better Nutrition, Better World' sustainability strategy prioritises energy efficiency and renewable electricity procurement for our operations.
Performance
In 2025 we reduced Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions in our operations by 8.8% from the previous reporting year (2024). Glanbia's target is a SBTi validated target aligned with a 1.5 degrees Celsius climate scenario.

Maintain the highest possible global safety standards using LTIR and sites with no Lost Time Case ("LTC")
as key benchmarks.
Strategic relevance
The health and safety of our employees is inherent in our Glanbia values and is reflected in our organisational goal of "Zero Harm". The proportion of sites achieving at least industry-standard safety performance, based on the North American Industry Classification ("NAIC") benchmark, and the reduction in injury severity, as evidenced by LTIR progression, are established global indicators of safety performance. Glanbia
is committed to achieving zero LTCs and ensuring that all sites reach and maintain a minimum of industry-benchmark performance for lost-time injuries.
Performance
In 2025 Group LTIR was 0.6/200,000 hours, bettering the 2024 performance of 0.9/200,000 hours, remaining below our NAIC food industry benchmark of 2.6. 59% of manufacturing locations had zero LTC, a consistent performance with the prior year. Sites below the NAIC performance maintain robust improvement plans, which are supported and monitored by leadership.
Employee engagement score
69
Objective
Measure employee engagement and listen to our team members to understand where we have opportunities to improve.
Strategic relevance
Employee engagement is a key enabler of performance. At Glanbia we acknowledge that people who are engaged, motivated and supported perform to the best of their ability, find a greater sense of meaning in what they do and contribute to Glanbia's success.
Performance
In our 2025 'Your Voice' survey, overall engagement score was 69, a decrease of four points year-on-year. This decrease came in the context of significant organisational change and transformation, including changes to our operating model, ways of working and systems. We were encouraged by a two-point improvement in communication scores, reflecting focused actions taken during the year to enhance consistency of messaging. Employee engagement will be a focus in the
year ahead.
Q&A with our Chief HR Officer, Sue Sweem
Our culture and values
Q.
What are your key highlights for 2025?
2025 was a year of momentum and transformation, as we embedded new ways of working and prepared our organisation for its next phase of growth. We made meaningful progress in evolving our organisation, managing change in a people-centric way and ensuring teams were supported as we rolled out our new operating model. We advanced our digital transformation programme, strengthening the tools, insights and capabilities that enable our people to perform at their best. In parallel, we also continued to evolve our HR organisation, with the announcement of a new leadership structure. These changes are designed to ensure HR is fully aligned to enable success against our business strategy and support our new Group operating model - three focused business segments, a dedicated supply chain function and our corporate functions - while continuing to operate effectively as 'One Glanbia' team.
Q.
How does the Group assess employee engagement and what were the key outcomes in 2025?
Facilitated by our culture of continuous listening, we assess employee engagement and identify priority improvement areas through our annual employee engagement survey, "Your Voice".
In 2025, our engagement score was 69, a decrease of four points year-on-year. This decrease came in the context of the Group's global transformation programme, including significant changes to our operating model, ways of working and systems.
Notwithstanding this movement, we were encouraged by a two-point improvement in communication scores, reflecting focused actions taken during the year
to enhance consistency of messaging and the frequency of organisational updates during a period of significant change.
As we look ahead to 2026, strengthening employee engagement will remain a central priority. Our efforts will focus on building leadership and line-manager capability
to enable meaningful two-way communication, as well as enhancing the systems that empower employees to share feedback and see clear follow-through. At the same time, we will continue to advance our wellbeing and belonging agenda, recognising how critical these elements are in enhancing resilience, fostering a positive culture and supporting high performance across our workforce.
Q.
How is Glanbia strengthening its talent and leadership agenda to support the Group's growth priorities?
Our talent and leadership agenda remains fundamental to delivering Glanbia's strategy. This year, we advanced our
multi-year approach to building organisational capability, strengthening alignment and reinforcing leadership accountability. We broadened access to career development, skills-building and leadership education across all segments, ensuring employees at all levels have opportunities to grow and upskill in support of our future focused needs. We also completed a refreshed global talent review, supported by enhanced workforce insights and improved engagement mechanisms, ensuring our talent processes are
fully aligned with our evolving organisational structure.
Q.
As you prepare to retire, what are your reflections on your time at Glanbia?
As I look ahead to retirement, I'm proud of the progress we've made in transforming both Glanbia and our HR organisation.
A highlight has been evolving HR to become a more strategic and modern function - removing silos, building strong centres of excellence, establishing our People Success Organisation and creating a more consistent, high-quality employee experience globally.
I'm also pleased with the progress we've made in supporting employee wellbeing, including the introduction of more family-friendly and flexible policies that
better reflect how our people live and work today. Above all, I'm grateful for the culture we've built and sustained together - one that puts people at the centre, focuses on living our values, builds leadership capability and supports growth.
As I hand over to the next generation of HR leadership, including the appointment of Aisling Zito as Chief HR Officer designate,
I do so with real confidence in the strength of the team and a strong sense of optimism for Glanbia's future.

Optimum Nutrition launches digital tools: Coach Optimum and Protein Calculator
Highly engaging digital experiences help educate consumers
Extensive consumer research in multiple markets uncovered the insight that consumers are looking for simple, easy to understand answers to basic questions around the consumption
of sports nutrition products - ideally
in a digital format that feels personal to them rather than broad education that might not be as relevant.
To help consumers answer these questions, Optimum Nutrition has launched two "world first" digital tools that are featured on the brand website and brought to life in social media.
Both initiatives are live in multiple markets, with high completion rates, very strong engagement and hundreds of thousands of consumer questions answered. Further expansion of both tools is expected in 2026.
Coach Optimum
The AI driven "Coach Optimum" answers individual questions from consumers based on the education content published by the brand. The most popular questions from consumers continue to be around protein dosage and more recently consumers are increasingly interested in creatine.

PN Americas
PN Americas, which represents 63%¹ of PN revenue, saw LFL revenue¹ increase by 1.3%. This was driven by strong growth in online and FDM channels, and increased distribution, somewhat offset by declines in the specialty channel and competitive challenges in the club channel in the first half of the year. Growth was volume led with price increases implemented in the fourth quarter.
Optimum Nutrition improved sequentially during the year with strong volume growth in the second half of the year and US consumption growth of 3.4%².
PN International
PN International, which represents 37%¹ of PN revenue, saw LFL revenue¹ increase by 10.5%. Growth was driven by strong
volume and pricing growth in the Optimum Nutrition brand across protein powders and
energy in key priority markets including the UK, Australia, India and China, and was supported by the PN's flexible supply chain and global footprint, enabling local innovation across key regions.
In 2025, local market brand activation coupled with elite athlete advocacy has helped Optimum Nutrition to continue to connect with consumers across the world.
Case Study
Accelerating sustainable growth: Performance Nutrition's success story in India
PN has accelerated its momentum of sustainable and profitable growth in India, one of the fastest-growing sports nutrition markets globally. The business in India continues to deliver double-digit revenue growth and rising profitability, supported by deeper channel penetration, consumer-led innovation and strong local in-market talent and expertise.
The vast majority of our products are manufactured locally which strengthens speed to market, enhances supply-chain resilience and enables innovations tailored to Indian consumer needs. This model has improved competitiveness while supporting
long-term profitability.
The combined strength of Optimum Nutrition and Isopure strengthens PN's position - in both performance and lifestyle nutrition segments. High impact brand activation has helped Optimum Nutrition achieve a reputation for quality and authenticity. The partnership with Royal Challengers Bangalore of the Indian Premier League franchise as well as individual partnerships with Indian cricket star Rishabh Pant (pictured) and fitness professional Jeet Selal, have expanded the brand's reach. Isopure, through its collaboration with Rashmika Mandanna (pictured) strengthened Lifestyle credentials.
PN has also built winning distribution models in channels of the future. Its fast-growing D2C business serves more than 350 cities in India every month with advanced marketing technology capabilities. In quick commerce,
PN is a key category-building partner, driving availability, customised pack architecture and data-driven execution.
A robust business model, two strong brands and leadership in emerging channels position PN for continued success in India in the years ahead.

What we do
In 2025, H&N was established as its own segment comprising the premix and flavours platforms.
H&N is a global B2B partner to brands, delivering custom premix solutions and natural and organic flavour systems that improve the food product functionality, taste and nutrition profile. The business has a global, scaled manufacturing footprint, deep product formulation and application expertise, primary market insights and science-backed innovation capabilities -including functional optimisation of nutritional ingredients and market leading capabilities in flavour and protein chemistry.
Through H&N's breadth of capabilities and global footprint, it co-creates innovative and tailored products for leading global and mid-tier customers in high-growth end-use markets such as active nutrition,
functional beverage and vitamins, minerals and supplements ("VMS"). H&N also leverages innovation and formulation capabilities across the Glanbia portfolio
to formulate premix, flavours and proteins into consumer products.
Financial performance 2025 H&N total revenue increased by 11.5% with a 6.5% increase from the impact of acquisitions, somewhat offset by the
impact of the 53rd week of 1.8%. H&N LFL revenue increased by 6.8% in 2025. This was driven by a 7.4% increase in volume, offset by a 0.6% decrease in price. The volume increase was driven by good growth across both premix and flavour solutions businesses, with particularly strong growth in Europe and Asia. The price decrease
was driven by certain pass through pricing with customers.
H&N EBITDA increased by 16.7% versus prior year to $115.8 million and EBITDA margin increased by 80 basis points to 18.4%. This was predominantly due to the addition of

The Group completed the acquisition of Sweetmix for initial consideration of
$41.4 million plus deferred consideration. Sweetmix is a Brazil-based nutritional premix and ingredients solutions business that enables H&N to continue to expand in Latin America. The Scicore acquisition was announced in November 2025 and completed post year-end for total consideration of approximately
$16.4 million. Scicore is a manufacturing facility in India, providing in-market manufacturing for both H&N and PN.
Glanbia is focused on supplying clean label, natural and organic flavours to the growing active nutrition, functional beverage and VMS categories.
We successfully integrated Flavor Producers during 2025, combining the Flavor Producers and Foodarom teams to create one flavour team as part of the Health & Nutrition segment. We have a clear growth
plan for the next five years, which was the catalyst for a significant capital investment to create a state-of-the-art centre of excellence for spray
dried flavours in Sharonville. This project will be completed by the end of 2026.
In line with Glanbia's commitment to innovation, we also commenced plans to expand our applications centre in Sharonville to create a customer collaboration centre for beverage, bringing together the combined product capabilities of Health & Nutrition in one place to partner
with our customers to create great tasting and nutritious beverages.

Flavour innovation in food and beverages
At Health & Nutrition, we create solutions uniquely tailored to each of our customers. Our commitment to customer-focused innovation is brought to life through our flavour specialists who combine their technical expertise, creativity and close collaboration to translate the customers vision into bespoke flavour solutions. Our flavours can be natural and organic which is a growing trend in today's market as customers and consumers seek clean label products.
One of our recognised points of difference in the market is great tasting protein fortified food and beverage products. Given the increasing demand for protein, there is a rising interest from customers to add protein to their products and we are seeing many new product formats including an emerging category - protein coffee. Our goal is to optimise the taste profile of the protein product and overcome the flavour challenges from higher protein contents.
Our unique partnership with Dairy Nutrition puts us in an ideal position. Protein scientists, process scientists and flavour chemists collaborate to develop optimised solutions and support the growth of our customers.
Optimised premix for applications with higher moisture content
Challenge: A customer desires a premix to focus on cognitive benefits and offset the product bitterness.
Solution: A proprietary double encapsulate was developed that decreases interactions between vitamins and minerals and provides a secondary layer for improved flavour
and stability.

Strategic global growth through acquisition and investment
2025 was a milestone year in the development of our global footprint. We added manufacturing capability on two continents through acquisitions in Brazil and India and initiated a project to double our capacity on
a third, through organic investment in China.
In Q3, we announced the acquisition of Sweetmix, an established independent premix business located in Sorocaba, near São Paulo in Brazil. Sweetmix serves local and international customers across a range of segments
including functional beverages, infant formula and supplements.
In Q4, we announced our intention to acquire Scicore, a nutritional products manufacturing business operating from a recently commissioned plant in Ahmedabad, Gujarat in India. This transaction closed in January 2026.
Later this year we will begin supplying premixes to our customers from this facility, which will also be used to produce consumer sports nutrition products for Optimum Nutrition and other Performance Nutrition brands.
Finally, we broke ground on a project to add a second building to our existing premix plant in Suzhou, China, which will increase our production capacity at the site more than two-fold. Like in India, the new production facilities will have dual purpose to serve PN and H&N.
Collectively, these investments demonstrate our confidence in the growth potential of these regions and our long-term commitment to
delivering the highest levels of service and quality to global customers in every market.
