In Australia, these varieties are normally replaced by the 8th year. This is due to ideal soil and growing conditions At the end of FY2016, African Blue has 208ha planted across 5 farms, including 13ha of substrate production. A further 70ha is planned to be planted in FY17 A new packing facility to support the northern farms will be operational for the FY17 harvest ◉ New Costa trial varieties are also being tested in Morocco The joint venture continues to self fund its growth in addition to payment of dividends to its shareholders Substrate trials, Larache Farm, Morocco costa fresh is our passion 21 24#23#4 International growth projects - China China ■ The joint venture agreement was executed in January 2016 ◉ Ownership: Costa 70%, Driscoll's 30% ◉ ■ ☐ ☐ ■ First farm established, with second raspberry harvest in progress and first blueberry harvest expected Dec-March.

A pipeline of new initiatives is in progress The company is projecting NPAT (pre-SGARA) growth at approximately 10% for FY2017(¹). Trading for the initial six weeks was ahead of budget with all portfolio units contributing well. Due to seasonality and increased weighting of international operations, performance will be more heavily weighted towards the second half. The strong balance sheet supports continued organic growth and a disciplined M&A program. FY2017 dividends will be balanced against the company's need to fund growth objectives, but indicatively will be in the range of 50-70% of NPAT (pre-SGARA).

Impairment losses: reduction in the carrying value of grape vines (previously taken up as a movement in the fair value of biological assets) 26#28Explanation of certain non-IFRS operating measures Transacted Sales Transacted Sales are used by management as a key measure to assess Costa's sales and marketing performance and market share. Transacted Sales represent the aggregate volume of sales in which Costa is involved in various capacities (including sales of third party-grown produce marketed by Costa under agency arrangements), as well as royalty income. Transacted Sales are not considered by Costa to be a revenue measure. There are material differences between the calculation of Transacted Sales and the way in which revenue is determined under AAS. Transacted Sales comprise: ⚫ statutory revenue; • gross invoiced value of agency sales of third party produce; • Costa's proportionate share of joint venture sales relating to the African Blue and Polar Fresh joint ventures; . • royalty income from the licensing of Costa blueberry varieties in Australia, the Americas and Africa; and • 100% of Driscoll's Australia Partnership sales after eliminating Costa produce sales to the Driscoll's Australia Partnership. Prior to the formation of Driscoll's Australia in 2010, all of Costa's domestic sales and marketing activities for the berry category were managed by Costa. Other market participants, including Costa's retailer customers, frequently do not distinguish between the various capacities in which Costa may transact with them. For example, the arrangements under which Costa delivers produce to its customers usually does not specify whether the produce is grown by Costa, marketed by Costa on behalf of third party growers under agency arrangements or otherwise sourced from third party growers. Accordingly, Costa believes that other market participants perceive the aggregate of all sales in which Costa is involved (including as a grower, sales agent, trader and joint venture party) as reflective of Costa's market share and therefore indicative of its negotiating position. Similarly, management looks at Transacted Sales as a measure that indicates, on a comparative basis, Costa's sales and marketing performance. While movements between the various components of Transacted Sales can be relevant for this assessment, the aggregate of all components is a key indicator of Costa's overall sales and marketing performance. Investors should note that Transacted Sales are presented for the purposes described above and are not considered by Costa to be a revenue measure. There are material differences between the calculation of Transacted Sales and the way in which revenue is determined under AAS, including that, under AAS: ⚫ the invoiced value of agency sales is excluded from revenue with only the commission associated with the agency sales recognised as revenue; • joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method, with only Costa's share of the joint venture NPAT recognised in the statement of profit or loss; and royalty income is recognised as other income in the statement of profit or loss. costa fresh is our passion 27
