FONTERRA SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND 2025 ANNUAL MEETING
15 DECEMBER 2025

FSF CHAIR’S ADDRESS


It has been another great year for Fonterra, delivering a third consecutive year of strong profit.

Fonterra’s normalised continuing operations’ operating profit was $1.4 billion, and normalised

earnings per share came in at 71 cents per share.

Based on the strong result, Fonterra declared a total dividend of 57 cents per share which

flows through to unit holders as a distribution of 57 cents per unit.

This was made up of an interim distribution of 22 cents per unit and a final distribution of 35

cents per unit.

In addition to the strong operating performance, the progress on the Consumer divestment

has also positively impacted the Fund’s performance.

In October, Fonterra shareholders voted in favour of the divestment of the Consumer business

for $4.22 billion to Lactalis

Fonterra is targeting a tax-free capital return of $2 per share to shareholders and unit holders

with a timeline of its distribution still to be confirmed.

Peter and Miles will speak further to Fonterra’s operational performance and divestment in

their presentations.

Before I move on to discuss the Fund’s performance in more detail it is important to

acknowledge the role of the Board of FSF Management Company.

The Board has statutory responsibilities for the activities of the Management Company and

the Fund. These include monitoring compliance with regulatory requirements and ensuring

that unit holders’ interests are managed and protected in accordance with the constituent

documents that relate to the Fund.

Directors of the Fund have no role in the governance or operation of Fonterra.

Although we have no decision-making role in these areas, we do consider it important to

actively represent the interests and views of unit holders to Fonterra, and we do that.

The Board has discussed and engaged where appropriate with Fonterra management on the

divestment of the Consumer business and its implications for the Fund and unit holders.

We have also continued to hold regular education sessions on areas of particular interest.

This provides more transparency on activities within Fonterra and the markets in which

Fonterra operates. Helping to further building our understanding of the key drivers that can

impact the performance of the Fund.

As mentioned, Fonterra’s strong performance, and progress on the divestment of its

Consumer business is reflected in the total shareholder returns for the 12-months of 68%.

Contributing to the 68% is 300 cents in unit price appreciation and 57 cents in distributions.

Over the same period, FCG and the S&P NZX50 Index returned 50% and 5%, respectively.



It is pleasing to see the strength of cash distributions over the past couple of years, and based

on the 2026 Quarter 1 results released a fortnight ago, Fonterra is well positioned for another

solid performance.

Looking at the composition of the register, there continues to be a healthy shift from retail

investors and supplying Fonterra farmers to private wealth and institutions.

The drop off in units held by supplying farmers is an ongoing trend reflecting Fonterra Co-

operative shares can no longer flow through to the Fund under Fonterra’s capital structure.

Of the 65% or 70 million units held by retail investors, just under 30 million are held by former

supplying farmers. When combined with the nearly 7 million units held by supplying farmer

shareholders, around 30% of the Fund is held by current or former supplying farmers. This is

a material decrease on the prior year where roughly 40% of the Fund was held by this group

and roughly half the year before.

The Fund Board are pleased to see this improving spread of ownership type, which supports

liquidity through different investment horizons and trading behaviours.

Not unexpected is the slight reduction in units held geographically in Australia, a reflection of

delisting FSF from the ASX at the start of the year.

Lastly from me, I will briefly touch on some of the key Fund statistics.

The cap on the Fund is a permanent feature of the capital structure and there has been no

change in the 107 million units on issue.

Fonterra’s market capitalisation is up $2.6 billion to $9.6 billion, and the Fund’s market

capitalisation is $886 million, up $322 million.

The Fund’s increase in market capitalisation is due to an increase in the unit price, from $5.25

this time last year to a closing unit price of $8.25 last Friday.

The Fund size as a percentage of the total Fonterra shares remains unchanged year-on-year

at 6.7% due to there being no buyback of Fonterra shares over the last year.

FONTERRA SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND 2025 ANNUAL MEETING
15 DECEMBER 2025

FONTERRA CHAIR’S ADDRESS


Good morning everyone.

2025 was a milestone year for Fonterra.

The team was proud to put up another year of consistent strong financial performance where

we met our commitments to farmers and shareholders. Back-to-back years of a combined

strong milk price and a respectable dividend is something that often eluded us in the past.

Our final Farmgate Milk Price of $10.16 per kgMS exceeded opening expectations and our

topline earnings performance of 71 cents per share was near the top end of our guidance

range.

The Co-op delivered a return on capital of 10.9%, also largely consistent with last year and in

line with the target average range of 10-12%.

Overall, Fonterra delivered $16.2 billion in total cash returns to shareholders, up more than

30% on last year.

At the same time, Fonterra has made considerable progress on strategy, announcing

significant investments in our Foodservice capacity, supply chain network, and new

partnerships with two major customers that acknowledge farmers’ efforts to reduce on-farm

emissions through financial incentives.

The decision to divest the Co-op’s global Consumer and associated businesses, Mainland

Group, to Lactalis for $4.22 billion was another key milestone.

It was great to see just over 80% participation in that vote. Combined with the more than 88%

of the total farmer votes cast in support of the recommendation, this represents a strong

mandate from farmers.

We’re continuing to work away in the background to secure the last regulatory approvals and

to separate the Mainland Group business from Fonterra.

Some of the regulatory approvals required have been obtained, including approval from the

Overseas Investment Office in New Zealand, which Lactalis confirmed they received last

week. Other regulatory approvals are still pending.

Subject to these steps being achieved, we still expect the transaction to complete in the first

half of the 2026 calendar year, and we are still targeting a tax-free capital return of $2 per

share to shareholders and unit holders once the sale is complete.

The capital return requires approval by at least 75% of the votes cast on the resolution at a

Special Meeting, which we are planning for 19 February next year.

A record date for the capital return has not yet been set, but it will be close to the time

payment is made. We will share the record date when it is confirmed.

The divestment of Mainland Group is our last significant asset sale and signals the end of our

structural changes to focus and re-shape the Co-op toward our comparative advantages.



What this means is a more capital-efficient Co-op with the ability to invest further in up-stream

value add opportunities in our speciality ingredients and foodservice businesses.

The foundational work is underway. You see that with the manufacturing and supply chain

investments announced this year. They have us well positioned to service the demand that

our sales teams are driving in-market.

What you can expect from us in 2026 and the years that follow can be boiled-down into two

things:

A continued focus on getting the basics right. In particular we will be working hard on tighter

cost management, reducing our cost of quality and improving our manufacturing efficiency.

And second, a renewed focus on sustainable growth and new opportunities in our ingredients

and foodservice businesses. You will see the Co-op continuing to invest further up the value

chain. Those investments will be within regional New Zealand, where our contribution to local

communities will remain significant.

With the Co-op’s foundations well set and our risk appetite better aligned to an

intergenerational farming business, it’s time to put more energy into going after growth

opportunities in our speciality ingredients and foodservice businesses.

Thank you.

FONTERRA SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND 2025 ANNUAL MEETING
15 DECEMBER 2025

FONTERRA CEO’S ADDRESS


Thank you.

And thank you to those who have travelled to be with us here in person and greetings to those

joining us online.

Today I’ll cover Fonterra’s performance for FY25 and then our plans for the years ahead as

we implement our strategy.

Looking first at FY25, I’m pleased to say we maintained the momentum in our performance

that we’ve built over the last few years.

We ended the 2024/25 season with a final Farmgate Milk Price of $10.16 per kgMS.

And our full year dividend was 57 cents per share, fully imputed.

Looking more closely at the drivers, our operating profit increased 13% to 1.7 billion dollars.

And reported profit after tax was 1.1 billion dollars, equivalent to earnings per share of 65

cents.

When excluding the costs associated with the Consumer divestment, our normalised earnings

per share were 71 cents.

That strong operating profit generated significant cash, allowing us to pay dividends at the

upper end of our policy range.

This performance was driven by a lift in all parts of our business.

Ingredients had improved margins and product mix, and Foodservice saw volume growth in

UHT cream, butter and mozzarella.

In FY25 we allocated 76% of milk solids to the Ingredients channel.

Around 55% of those solids informed the Milk Price, which receives an average regulated

return of around 5%.

The other 45% of solids in that channel have been allocated to Advanced and Specialty

Ingredients products.

These products generate a much higher return on capital - around 19% in FY25.

We allocated 16% of milk solids to the Foodservice channel, which delivered a return on

capital of 12%.

The remaining 8% of solids were allocated to the Consumer channel, which delivered a 9%

return on capital in FY25.

This was above the Consumer channel’s historical average return.

Ultimately, this is the rationale for divesting Mainland Group.



We can return capital to you and earn a better return for our shareholders’ milk and invested

capital, which ultimately flows back you as cash distributions from the Fund.

As you’re aware, during FY25, we pursued a dual-track divestment process for Mainland

Group.

This culminated in a proposal to sell the business to Lactalis for $4.22 billion.

Shareholders voted in October to approve the divestment, giving us a strong mandate to

progress with our strategy to be a global B2B dairy provider.

I’m excited by the potential the divestment unlocks for Fonterra.

We will still have global reach and scale, operating in more than 100 markets including North

America, Greater China, Europe and Asia.

Our Ingredients brand NZMP and Foodservice brand Anchor Food Professionals are both

world leading.

They are recognised by customers for their New Zealand provenance and as the source of

high-quality, innovative products.

We maintain a significant presence here in New Zealand, with 24 manufacturing sites, a

network of Farm Source retail stores, and our Fonterra offices.

We’re positioning the Co-op to deliver further value through our global Foodservice and

Ingredients businesses.

To support this, we’re continuing to invest in new manufacturing capacity to meet growing

demand for our high-value products.

During FY25, we started construction on an advanced protein hub at Studholme and new UHT

cream capacity at Edendale.

Products from these sites are expected to come online in the 2026 calendar year.

Looking ahead, we have plans to invest up to 1 billion dollars in further projects to grow value

and drive operational efficiencies.

We announced in October a $75 million investment in expanding butter capacity at

Clandeboye.

I look forward to sharing details of further projects as they are confirmed.

We know that we can deliver greater value for investors through focused execution of our

strategy.

Our strategy is designed to drive a performance lift in our Ingredients and Foodservice

businesses.

In September this year we shared information on the financial shape of the Co-op post-

divestment, including targets out to FY28.

The strength of our strategy gives us the confidence to target earnings being back to FY25

levels by FY28, offsetting the Mainland Group divestment.



We are also targeting a return on capital at the upper end of our 10-12% target, which is

above the level the Co-op delivers today.

Essentially, post-divestment we will be a more focused business, with a lower cost base,

delivering a better return to our farmer shareholders and unit holders.

Looking at the year ahead, our forecast Farmgate Milk Price for the 2025/26 season is $9.00 -

$10.00 per kgMS, with a midpoint of $9.50.

While this is a reduction on our earlier forecast midpoint of $10.00 per kgMS, it remains in the

middle of the $8.00 - $11.00 forecast range we opened the season with.

As shared, an increase in global milk production has put downward pressure on global

commodity prices.

Here in New Zealand, milk production is up.

At the same time, milk production is up in the US, Latin America and Europe, meaning global

supply is now outstripping global demand.

Despite that, we’re continuing to see good demand for our products from customers who

value our unique offering.

Our forecast earnings for FY26 are 45-65 cents per share for continuing operations.

At all times, our priority is maximising returns on the milk we collect through both the

Farmgate Milk Price and earnings.

We do this by building strong relationships with customers, utilising price risk management

tools when we face volatility, and optimising our product mix towards higher value products.

We are firmly focused on strategic delivery in FY26 and meeting the commitments we’ve

made to our farmer shareholders and you as unit holders.

Thank you.
