The announcement
Trading Statement for the year ended 30 September 2026 OCEANA GROUP LIMITED Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Registration number: 1939/001730/06 JSE/A2X share code: OCE NSX share code: OCG ISIN: ZAE000025284 ("Oceana" or "the Company" or "the Group") TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2026 The Group is finalising its financial results for the year ended 30 September 2026, which are expected to be released on or about Thursday, 26 November 2026. In terms of section 6.26 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE"), a company must publish a trading statement once it is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the period to be reported on next will differ by at least 20% from the financial results reported in the comparative period. The Group has reasonable certainty that, for the year ended 30 September 2026: • earnings per share ("EPS") is expected to be between 815 cents and 870 cents, an increase of between 45% and 55% from the 562.4 cents reported for the comparative period; and • headline earnings per share ("HEPS") is expected to be between 825 cents and 880 cents, an increase of between 46% and 56% from the 564.8 cents reported for the comparative period. The expected increase in earnings is primarily attributable to higher operating profit and lower interest costs. Operating profit improved on stronger performances from the fishmeal and fish oil (USA) and Wild caught seafood segments, driven by higher volumes and improved pricing, and a solid contribution from Lucky Star foods despite limited inventory. These gains more than offset weaker results from the Africa fishmeal and fish oil segment. The financial information and any forward-looking statements in this announcement have not been reviewed or reported on by the Group's auditors. 27 October 2026 Cape Town JSE Sponsor: Primary Listing The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited NSX Sponsor: Secondary Listing Old Mutual Investment Services (Namibia) Proprietary Limited Date: 27/10/2026 12:45:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.
