Date: 20 August 2021

Subject:Annual Meeting

[Slide 1]

Chair

Morena and welcome to the inaugural annual shareholder meeting for My Food Bag as a

listed company. I am My Food Bag’s independent chair, Tony Carter.

[Slide 2]

Todays' meeting is being conducted online only as we adhere to the Alert Level 4

restrictions put in place by the Government earlier this week. We trust everyone is keeping

safe and well in their bubbles at this time. I’ll provide you with further instructions as we

progress through the meeting but if you encounter any technical issues please refer to the

virtual meeting online portal guide or you can phone the helpline on 0800 200 220.

[Slide 3]

Before we formally begin, I would like to start by acknowledging new and existing board

members, and I will invite each of them to introduce themselves briefly now.

[Jon, Sarah, Jen and Chris introduce themselves in this order]

We also have members of the My Food Bag Strategic Leadership team in attendance,

including:

-Kevin Bowler, Chief Executive Officer,

-Mark Winter, Chief Financial Officer, and

-Trish Whitwell, who will assist with Q&A later in the meeting.

2 | P a g e
We also have our auditors, EY, in attendance who will be available to address any questions

regarding the preparation of the financial statements. Finally, our share registrar, Link

Market Services, and members of their team are available today to help conduct the vote

and act as our scrutineer.

I have had it confirmed to me that the Notice of Meeting has been sent to shareholders and

other persons entitled to receive it and I have been advised that we have a quorum present.

On that basis, I am pleased to formally declare the meeting open.

As always, shareholders were given the opportunity to attend the meeting and vote or to

appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf. Proxies have been appointed for the purpose of this

meeting in respect of approximately 88 million shares, representing over 36% of our total

share capital. My fellow directors and I intend to vote all discretionary proxies we have

received in favour of the one resolution set out in the Notice of Meeting.

[Slide 4]

Turning to the agenda for today. Following my address, My Food Bag’s CEO, Kevin Bowler

will provide a business update before we move on to the more formal agenda items

regarding the acceptance of the FY21 financial statements and our single administrative

resolution regarding the auditor’s remuneration.

There will then be an opportunity for general Q&A. As always, I encourage shareholders to

exercise their right to vote and ask questions. You can send through your questions at any

time through the online portal, and I would encourage you to do so as early as possible as

this will allow us to answer these questions at the appropriate time during the meeting.

[Slide 5, then 6]

In FY21, My Food Bag embarked on the next stage of its growth journey – listing on both the

NZX and ASX. In doing so, we welcomed thousands of new investors, many of you

customers, who took the opportunity to be part of the My Food Bag whānau. This marked a

significant milestone for the business, having already navigated from being founder led, to

private equity control, and now to public ownership.

3 | P a g e
We have assembled a balanced, capable and energised board. Recognising that meal kits

currently represent a small part of a very large grocery market, we are committed to drive

MFB to the next level and grow our share.

We are very mindful of the performance of our share price over our first six months which

has been below what it has listed for. However, we would like to acknowledge those who

participated in the IPO and have stuck with us and continue to recognise the value in this

business. We assure you that the board and management remain focussed on executing on

the business strategy and the performance of the business. In the long run, we are

confident that the market will judge the business against its performance and potential.

And on both counts, our Board remains firmly confident.

There have been a couple of questions raised about the IPO that I thought I’d address head-

on rather than in Q&A later today. Firstly, there was some criticism of management selling

75% of their shares through the IPO. This was appropriate to allow management to fulfil

their tax obligations arising from the shares they received when they converted from

Options at the IPO and to help fund the exercise price of those Options. Fundamentally the

Board is comfortable that management earned the opportunity to realise some of the

significant value they have created for My Food Bag over a long period, including, if we take

the last year alone, through their commitment to help us grow and operate effectively

during the pandemic. We were also mindful of making this clear and outlined it in the offer

documents. As you will see from today's presentation and our annual report, My Food Bag

had a very strong performance in FY21 and this is a credit to the efforts of the management

team during the period. It is also worth noting that Kevin remains a significant shareholder

in My Food Bag.

The second question I’ve had is why the company, as opposed to the sellers, paid the offer

costs relating to the IPO. In my experience, and based on the advice that was received at

the time, this is not uncommon and there are a number of examples where the offer costs

4 | P a g e
have been borne by the company undertaking the listing, especially, as was the case for My

Food Bag, when the IPO was also being used to raise new capital for the business. We also

disclosed these costs to potential investors in the offer documents and this was factored

into the offer price.

Turning now to My Food Bag’s trading across FY21. Trading was dominated by a swing to

online purchasing, accelerated by COVID-19, as well as the introduction of individual recipe

selection for some of our range which also increased the frequency in which customers

bought from us.

Additionally, in FY21 management invested time and energy in improving systems and

processes adding an end-to-end enterprise resource planning platform. Costs were tightly

managed, with notable improvements across the supply chain resulting in improved

contribution margins throughout FY21.

My Food Bag is an innovator and a disrupter; and this current fiscal year has been no

exception. Already this year the company has introduced recipe choice for Bargain Box

customers, introduced heart healthy recipes in partnership with the New Zealand Heart

Foundation, and launched the My Food Bag Kitchen offering a wider range of new products

for My Choice customers, and most recently, we extended choice to our Fresh Start

customers.

While FY21 was clearly a very successful year commercially; I’d also like to acknowledge and

thank all our team for working so hard in challenging and uncertain times throughout the

year dealing with the effects of COVID-19 and keeping one another and their wider whanau

safe and healthy. My Food Bag played its role as an essential business during this time and

continues to do so today, helping thousands of Kiwis by continuing to deliver fresh and

healthy meals through the various lockdowns and changes of alert levels.

5 | P a g e
Thanks to Kevin and management for guiding the business through the change to public

ownership. Given the context of FY21, this was no easy task and they have remained

focussed on the business priorities and performance throughout.

After four months trading in FY22, the company is in the position to reaffirm its FY22

revenue and earnings forecast, as outlined in the PFI provided to investors in connection

with the IPO. Alongside our confidence in the business’ performance, we also advise that we

expect to pay a full year dividend of $0.07/share, 40% payable in December 2021.

Confirmation of the interim dividend payment will be made at the time of our half year

results in November.

I will now invite the CEO, Kevin Bowler, to address you.

CEO

[Slide 7, then slide 8]

Tēnā Koutou and welcome, thanks Tony.

FY21 has been a massive year for My Food Bag. We have been an essential service helping

Kiwis navigate the pandemic; we have undertaken one of the most significant new listings

on the stock exchange in recent years and we have delivered significant growth.

[Slide 9]

Importantly, we have achieved all key FY21 PFI metrics provided to investors in connection

with the IPO. During the year, we delivered more than 4.8 million meals to our customers,

and in doing so, generated $190.7m revenue which was a 24% increase year-on-year. We

continued to grow our 13-week active customer base to more than 66,000 customers by the

end of FY21.

We delivered pro forma EBITDA of $29.0m which was $12.7m (or 78%) greater than the

prior year.

We successfully achieved a step change in contribution margin, growing +4.3 percentage

points to 25.6% in FY21. This, coupled with the scalable nature of our business, contributed

to our EBITDA % improvement of 4.6 percentage points to 15.2%, which was ahead of FY21

PFI.

We are very pleased with our FY21 results.

[Slide 10]

FY21 started with the government’s decision to move New Zealand to Alert Level 4 for the

first time in response to the uncertain effects of the Pandemic. This immediately lifted

demand for MFB’s service to levels that challenged the business’ ability to meet supply for a

period of a few weeks. As an essential service, our teams worked tirelessly with our

7 | P a g e
partners to meet as much of this new demand as we could over April and May 2020 in

particular.

Of course, this was being achieved while under stringent new operating conditions requiring

social distancing, increased use of PPE, staggered operating shifts, and a lot of education

aimed to keep everyone safe as we learned more about the risks posed by the Pandemic. I

am very proud of how we tackled this challenge, and my thanks go to our staff and our

suppliers, who ensured we kept delivering fresh and healthy meals to Kiwi doorsteps

throughout various alert levels. These strict operating conditions give us confidence that My

Food Bag can continue to play its part in safely helping to deliver food to Kiwis during any

future periods of lockdown such as we are experiencing now.

Through the middle of FY21 we completed two vitally important tasks. We implemented a

new end-to-end ERP platform centralising data and information and providing more visibility

of business performance and added controls. And secondly, we completed a deep review of

our supply chain updating and improving our supplier contracts, resulting in strong

improvements to contribution margins without affecting ingredient quality.

Our customer offer was continuously reviewed and improved throughout the year with

personalised recipe choice offered to My Food Bag customers at the end of the first quarter

of FY21, who in turn embraced the change by buying more from us each quarter.

[Slide 11]

In FY21 My Food Bag launched what we hope to be a long-running relationship with Garden

to Table, a national charitable enterprise helping primary schools establish vegetable

gardens to use the planting, caring for, harvesting, cooking and eating food as a practical

basis for learning. As a business committed to healthier families, we think our goals are

truly complementary and look forward to putting more back into Kiwi families and

communities through this relationship.

8 | P a g e
While we’re vigilant about reducing the use of packaging, and switching to sustainable

alternatives wherever available, we also know soft plastics are necessary to keep food safe

and fresh, between our suppliers and a customer’s plate.

There is a lack of options and inconsistencies offered by councils around New Zealand for

customers to divert their soft plastics from landfill. So early in FY22 we released a system in

partnership with The Packaging Forum and Future Post where customers can buy a bag from

us to fill with all their household’s soft plastics, and have it picked up by NZ Post, and

ultimately end up as up-cycled fenceposts or garden sleepers. 7,400 customers have

adopted this solution and we hope to see this continue to grow over time.

[Slide 12]

We have entered into an agreement to lease a new facility in Christchurch which we are

well into planning and is scheduled to be ready in early FY23. It’s a purpose-built facility in

an excellent location from a distribution point-of-view, that will position us well for our

future growth.

[Slide 13]

From a trading point of view, Tony has signalled that we are on track to deliver the PFI

demand and earnings forecasts per the FY22 PFI, being a revenue forecast of $186.4m and

EBITDA forecast of $34.2m.

We are encouraged by recent trading which is at similar levels to the comparable period last

year, following New Zealand moving down to alert level 1 in 2020.

Compared to the same period last year, our High Value Customer base remains healthy, and

we’ve managed to maintain this strong base of customers which grew significantly

throughout FY21.

This provides us with a good basis for our confidence in achievement of the full year

revenue, which you may recall, was slightly down vs FY21.

9 | P a g e
We’re six weeks from completing the first half of FY22, and like a lot of kiwi businesses

we’re seeing some food commodity inflation pressure in areas like red meat and produce.

We’ve offset this partly by continuing to improve supply chain terms across more

categories, and through a small price increase in July.

[Slide 14]

Trading through FY21 gave us confidence in customers’ reaction to added personalisation,

and alongside this we have used the time to optimise operational changes to accommodate

offering recipe choice. Off the back of this evidence, we introduced Bargain Box choice this

past April, and have extended personalisation features to Fresh Start earlier this month.

[Slide 15]

We have spoken about expanding our offer beyond meal kits and have recently taken a

small step to introduce this wider offer to our My Choice and Fresh Start customers. We’ve

called the offer the ‘My Food Bag Kitchen’ with the proposition that as a customer you can

now buy the go-to products our chefs use in the My Food Bag kitchen. So far kiwis are loving

things like desserts, winter soups, and my personal favourite Bacon.

The two Kitchen metrics we’ll be watching closely are attachment rates and average order

value as we scale the offer over coming months by offering a wider range of go to products.

We’d expect to see the attachment rate continue to rise with the basket size lifting our

overall average order value over time, taking a greater share of New Zealanders’ substantial

grocery spend.

[Slide 16]

The My Food Bag Kitchen is going to provide more insight into our customers’ willingness to

buy a wider range of their household needs from us and will help inform the pace and

direction of future growth through new products, or for that matter, acquisition

opportunities.

Since launching the Kitchen in July – we’ve seen some very promising early signs. Add-on

attachment, which is the % of customers who add at least one additional product to their

core meal kit box, has more than doubled for those who have access to the Kitchen on our

10 | P a g e
My Choice products. We’re also seeing the basket size of customers continuing to increase

as we continue to grow the number of products available to purchase.

[Slide 17]

The Kitchen, combined with My Food Bag's strong platform for growth, including its well

positioned balance sheet and much-loved brand, continues to provide the foundation for us

to pursue growth opportunities and disrupt wider categories and channels.

[Slide 18]

By way of summary:

-We completed FY21 slightly ahead of PFI and re-affirmed our forecasts for FY22, and

we are encouraged to have retained the pull forward in demand from COVID-19.

-We have doubled down on the benefits of personalisation by expanding our choice

offer to Bargain Box in April and very recently added the choice feature to Fresh

Start.

-We have demonstrated a move to introduce a wider range of products through the

My Food Bag Kitchen in the past couple of months, with promising early signs.

I will hand back over to Tony to address the remaining agenda items before we take any

questions.

Thank you.
