Key Highlights

The global avocado market was well supplied putting pressure on prices particularly in the latter part of the half year. At Kakuzi an anticipated significantly lower crop from our orchards and disrupted shipping routes has weighed heavily on returns with operating profit at half-year falling to Ksh 215.9 million (Half Year 2025: Ksh 394.9 million).

The macadamia market softened sharply on rising global supply and weaker demand, resulting in a half-year operating profit of Ksh 68.2 million, compared to a profit of Ksh 318.8 million in half year 2025.

Blueberry continued its trend of profitable growth, posting a half-year operating profit of Ksh 15.1 million (Half year 2025: Ksh 13.4 million), notwithstanding freight complexity caused by conflict in the Middle East.

Forestry operating profit significantly improved in the half year to Ksh 73.3 million (Half year 2025: Ksh 42.9 million) on continued strong demand for poles.

Tea and Livestock continue to perform in line with our expectations, with a slight strengthening of the tea market. Group profit before tax fell to Ksh 10.4 million for the half-year (Half year 2025: Ksh 435.2 million).

Trading Performance

The year-to-date trading in our two core crops has been negatively impacted by geo-political instability impacting key shipping routes into Europe, a lower anticipated overall avocado crop volume and a downturn in market demand for macadamia.

At the start of the year the shipping routes through the Red Sea were beginning to return to normal, however the increasing tension in the region eventually forced our major shipping line to revert to the longer and more complicated Cape of Good Hope route. The resulting increase in transit times, which have now reached the edge of what is technically possible for an avocado, have downgraded the quality and price expectations.

Climatic conditions during the third quarter of 2025, coinciding with the critical avocado fruit expansion phase, were exceptionally dry, and have resulted in less, and smaller, fruit than in a normal year.

While the Company maintains substantial irrigation and water storage infrastructure, the challenge lay less in water availability than in the speed at which application could be adjusted to an event of this severity. The rate of moisture depletion experienced during the third quarter of 2025 was, in the Company's experience, unprecedented, increasing water stress levels in our avocado orchards. Our established methodology has served the Company well under normal seasonal variation but as climatic events of this pace and magnitude are expected to become more frequent, a new approach is required. This experience underscores the importance of continuing to strengthen our climate-smart agricultural capabilities, enabling more timely and precise irrigation responses in the seasons ahead.

To this end, the Company is accelerating its investment in continuous, multi-point digital soil-moisture monitoring, providing real-time data across the orchards to complement, and over time supersede, periodic manual assessment. We regard this transition to automated, real-time monitoring as an essential element of the climate-smart agriculture required to manage the increasing climatic variability we anticipate in future seasons.

Macadamia production, given its different growing cycle, was less affected by the dry conditions described above; the challenge instead lay in the international market, which has once again been turbulent. High production volumes from Australia and South Africa, combined with a slowdown in Chinese demand as domestic production there continues to rise, and a softer USA market linked to the legacy of tariffs, have together resulted in lower sales and pricing.

Our forestry division has performed well. Demand for high quality poles continues to increase across all sectors which remains encouraging.

Likewise, blueberry operations have performed well, with production sold across domestic and export markets despite geopolitical headwinds in the Middle East. The operational expansion project is in full swing.

Our tea and livestock operations also performed steadily, and demand for our other diversified products remains encouraging.

Dividend

The Directors do not recommend the payment of an interim Dividend.

Overview & Operations

Our Farm of the Future initiative continues to bring agricultural technology and artificial intelligence to bear across our operations, and we intend to expand its application as these technologies mature. Looking further ahead, current forecasts point to an increased likelihood of an El Niño event bringing excessive rainfall later in 2026, a reminder that the climate risks for which we must plan run in both directions.

Avocados

The European market for avocados has been dominated by Peruvian supply, some 17% greater than last year. Record volumes in the 2nd quarter, towards the beginning of the 'normal' Kenyan supply window, placed the market under considerable pressure. These volumes have since reduced and prices have stabilized. Overall supply to the European market is approximately 10% greater than last year. The widely anticipated El Niño event may impact on supply as the year progresses.

Whilst we anticipate our own production volumes to also be significantly lower than last year, the overall Kenyan supply to Europe is trending at 42% lower than in 2025 and 62% lower than two years ago. This may indicate a market trend towards increased oil production, as opposed to fresh fruit exports, due to logistical issues from geo-political tensions in the Middle East. Kakuzi is also exploring opportunities in the 'long-life' avocado space.

The Chinese market is now duty free for Kenyan produce and market demand is increasing. This market is easily flooded by competing origins, thus reducing prices, so our exports to China are timed for periods where reasonable returns can be obtained.

India again continues to show promise as an emerging avocado consumer, however, despite the large population consumption trends remain low.

Europe remains the key market destination and given the difficult logistic routes, created by the Middle East conflict the profitability of fresh produce sales into this region will be diminished this year.

Macadamia

Macadamia recorded a half-year operating profit of Ksh 68.2 million, a marked reduction from the Ksh 318.8 million profit achieved in the same period last year. Saleable kernel production was in fact slightly ahead of last year at 428 tonnes (Half year 2025: 413 tonnes), reflecting the continued maturing of our orchards, which now cover 1,410 hectares. However, sales volumes fell to 212 tonnes (Half year 2025: 252 tonnes) on the back of lower demand.

Short term global oversupply as well as the legacy impact of tariffs on imports has resulted softer offtake from the USA. This has pushed our average net selling price down to US$9.72 per kilo for the half-year (Half year 2025: US$11.56 per kilo), a decline of 16%.

We continue to believe that the long-term fundamentals of macadamia demand, underpinned by its health credentials, remain intact, and we are monitoring the recovery of key markets closely. In the meantime, our value-added range continues to perform well; demand for our cold-pressed macadamia oil and our ready-to-eat roasted and coated nut range remains encouraging and provides some insulation from the volatility of bulk kernel pricing.

Other Products Tea

Our Kaboswa tea operations recorded a half-year loss of Ksh 21.7 million compared to the Ksh 27.5 million loss reported for

the same period last year. Green leaf production increased to an equivalent 939 tonnes of made tea (Half year 2025: 827 tonnes) and the net price realised for made tea also improved. The wider tea industry, however, continues to labour under a persistent oversupply, and we do not expect a meaningful recovery in international prices until Kenyan production levels rebalance with demand. There is reasonable confidence that this rebalancing is taking place.

Our value-added range was extended this half-year with the launch of a new packet loose tea product. Sales remain modest at this early stage, but we expect the forthcoming introduction of tea bags to broaden the appeal and reach of this range further.

Forestry

Our forestry division performed well, with a significant rise in half-year profits to Ksh 73.3 million (Half year 2025: Ksh 42.9 million). Demand for our sustainably grown wood products, particularly treated poles, remains strong across the agricultural and conservation sectors. Firewood and timber sales were also ahead of last year. This continued strength provides a valuable and increasingly diversified counterweight to the volatility we are experiencing in our export crops.

Livestock and Farm Market

Our livestock and arable operations broke even, a modest improvement on the Ksh 4.0 million loss for the same period last year. Our breeding herd continued to grow steadily, closing the half-year at 4,012 head of cattle (Half year 2025: 3,949), and beef sales through our Boran Barn butchery and restaurant, which remain popular outlets for our farm-to-fork produce, were broadly in line with last year. Demand for our other value-added products through the Kakuzi Farm Market remains encouraging.

Blueberry

Our blueberry division delivered a half-year profit of Ksh 15.1 million, a modest improvement on the Ksh 13.4 million profit recorded in the same period last year, continuing its trend of profitable growth as our superfoods diversification strategy matures.

Total production for the half-year was lower than the same period last year, reflecting the timing of harvests from our existing 10 hectares of mature plantings. Construction of the new expansion is progressing well and will materially increase our productive hectarage once established.

Export shipments have been disrupted by the continuing conflict in the Middle East, our key export destination. Domestic sales, however, remained resilient. We are working with our marketing partners to continue the market diversification and remain confident in underlying demand for quality blueberries, both domestically and internationally.

Community and Stakeholder Engagement

Kakuzi's approach to stakeholder engagement remains anchored in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. Our independent grievance mechanism, SIKIKA ("Be Heard"), continues to provide employees and community members with an accessible, internationally benchmarked channel for raising concerns, with independent reports published openly.

Education and Human Capital Development

Education remained a priority during the period. We supported ten academic scholarship beneficiaries, funded eight teachers' wages to strengthen learning continuity, facilitated industrial attachments for students, and donated classroom furniture to schools and special institutions. These interventions improve access to quality education and contribute to long-term human capital development within neighbouring communities.

Health and Wellbeing

Through the Tabasamu ("Smile") programme, employees received menstrual health awareness training, promoting dignity and workplace inclusion. We also donated sanitary towels to schoolgirls and collaborated with healthcare and emergency response stakeholders to strengthen community preparedness.

Water and Sanitation

Investments included the construction of five ablution blocks in schools and vocational institutions, alongside water harvesting and storage projects that improved access to clean water and sanitation services.

Livelihoods and Local Enterprise

Over 70 members of community self-help groups received beekeeping and enterprise development training, while procurement from local suppliers exceeded Ksh 18.5 million. In partnership with Murang'a County under the National Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (NAVCDP), we supported avocado value chain development through farmer training and distribution of subsidised seedlings, strengthening smallholder productivity and long-term agricultural livelihoods.

Environmental Stewardship

Environmental conservation remained central, with over 40,000 trees planted across our operations and 300 indigenous seedlings donated during World Environment Day. We also engaged communities in sensitization forums on human-wildlife conflict and supported child protection platforms, reinforcing our role in ecosystem restoration and social resilience.

Commitment to Responsible Citizenship

Collectively, these initiatives demonstrate Kakuzi's commitment to creating shared value through responsible business practices. By investing in education, health, livelihoods, environmental stewardship, and transparent dialogue, we continue to strengthen community resilience, reinforce our social licence to operate, and contribute to long-term sustainable value creation for shareholders and stakeholders alike. We recognise that meaningful engagement also means being transparent about the challenges we continue to navigate, and we remain committed to reporting openly on both our progress and the work still ahead.

Strategic Goals & Developments

Our strategic priorities remain unchanged in substance, even as the operating conditions in which we pursue them continue to shift: growing our production of avocado and macadamia superfoods as our existing orchards reach maturity, diversifying into new superfoods and new geographic markets, adding value through our Kakuzi Farm Market and processing capability, and continuing to strengthen our sustainability and social performance.

The volatility experienced this half-year, in both our avocado and macadamia markets, reinforces the importance of this diversified strategy. Blueberry and forestry have again demonstrated their value as counterweights to the cyclicality of our two larger export crops, and we will continue to invest in both.

We remain guided by the belief that a long-term view, sufficient diversification, and disciplined execution are what allow Kakuzi to withstand short-term shocks, whether from markets, weather, or geopolitics, while continuing to build sustainable shareholder and stakeholder value.

The notes on pages 12 to 19 are an integral part of these consolidated and separate interim financial statements.

Notes
  1. General information

    Kakuzi Plc is incorporated in Kenya under the Kenyan Companies Act 2015 as a public limited liability company and is domiciled in Kenya.

  2. Basis of preparation and changes to the Group's accounting policies
    1. Basis of preparation

      These interim financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These interim financial statements are presented in the functional currency, Kenya Shillings (Shs), rounded to the nearest thousand, and prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the carrying of biological assets and agricultural produce at fair values less costs to sell.

      These unaudited interim consolidated and company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated and company financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025 ('last annual financial statements'). Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant for an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements. Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with presentation in the current year.

      The Consolidated and Company statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are presented as one and the same since the subsidiaries are dormant and did not have any transactions during the period.

    2. Use of judgements and estimates

      In preparing these interim consolidated and company financial statements, the Directors have made judgments and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and income and expenses. Although these estimates are based on the Directors' best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.

      The significant judgements made by the Directors in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

    3. New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group.

      The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated and company financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the last annual financial statements, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2026. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

      Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2026, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

    4. Costs that incur unevenly during the financial year are anticipated or deferred in the interim only if it would be also appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the financial year.

    5. Income tax expense is recognised based on the annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The annual tax rate used for 2026 is 30% (2025 was 30%).

      Notes (continued) 2 Basis of preparation and changes to the Group's accounting policies (continued)
    6. Comparatives

      Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

  3. Segmental reporting - Group

The Executive Directors are the operating decision makers of the Group. They make decisions based on the review of the operating segments reports.

The Group operates in two geographical areas in Kenya, Makuyu and Nandi Hills, and under several operating segments. The principal operating segments currently consist of Avocados and Macadamia whose reported sales are greater than 10% of combined sales of all operating segments and Tea and Forestry whose assets are more than 10% of combined assets of all operating segments. The business activities of livestock, joint projects and blueberries are included under "all other segments" as they relate to agricultural operations and do not meet any set criteria for individual reportable segments. There is no single customer whose revenue amounts to 10% or more of the Groups revenue.

The Group derives all revenues from contracts with customers for the transfer of goods at a point in time.

Segment assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, biological assets, inventories, receivables and prepayments. Unallocated assets are cash, financial assets, property, plant and equipment, and inventories relating to Main Office and Engineering Stores. Segmental liabilities consist primarily of payables and accrued expenses. Unallocated liabilities are taxes, payables, accrued expenses and non-current liabilities.

3. Segmental reporting (continued)

The segment information for the reportable segments for the six months period ended 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025 is as follows:
