About Us
Pure Foods Tasmania Pty Ltd (PFT) was formed
in 2015 with the aim to enhance and promote
Tasmania’s food and beverage businesses.
PFT’s strategy is to develop new products within
its existing brands and in the plant-based food
market, to acquire complementary brands and
businesses and to increase its market
penetration and distribution for its suite of brands
and products globally.
Strategy
PFT’s stable of brands and businesses include
Woodbridge Smokehouse, Tasmanian Pate, Daly
Potato Co, Lauds Plant-Based Foods, and The
Cashew Creamery.
PFT brands are targeted at the “conscious consumer”, offering convenience
and indulgent home entertaining products with a uniquely Tasmanian focus.
PFT’s growth strategy encompasses several key themes:
1. organically grow its existing brands;
2. improve margins and capacity via automation of its production as products
and brands reach scale;
3. secure key assets; and
4. grow via the acquisition of complementary/scalable
products/brands/businesses to exploit product expansion opportunities.
Organic growth will be achieved through increased penetration of existing
markets, entry into new markets and new product development.
Highlights FY23
Group revenue of $9.7m v $10.1m in FY22; the decline in
revenue was attributed to Woodbridge Smokehouse
Distribution of our brands has increased to over 3,500 active
customers
EBITDA for FY23 ($1.4m) v ($2.7m) in FY22; this was an
improvement of $1.3m on FY22
Cost savings from operations of over $1.8m was achieved in
FY23
$1.4m was invested in capex to support efficiencies and
improve quality
Highlights FY23 (continued)
Potato & Gravy was launched into Woolworths Queensland &
Tasmania along with Coles ranging in Victoria and Tasmania
Four new Daly frozen products were launched in 850
Woolworths stores nationally
This new ranging of Daly frozen products delivered the largest
order PFT has ever received - 11,000 cartons
Convertible notes of $3.5m were redeemed with $1m cash and
$2.5m from CBA secured against $2.5m cash. The balance
was converted to shares with $140k paid out in October 23.
Cash on hand of $3.4m at 30 June 2023.

Sale of Lauds to focus on high demand for Daly
products & 30% uplift in Group revenue for October
•
We are pleased to announce the sale of Lauds Plant-Based Foods business;
•
The sale will provide cash ~ $220,000, release labour to assist in the production of Daly
products, which are enjoying unprecedented demand and critically provide additional space
for the relocation of Potato & Gravy production to Mornington;
•
The Company has been struggling to meet record demand for Daly frozen
vegetables and that is likely to spike further as our key customers push our
products to other States;
•
Lauds required resources and capital to grow the business and while PFT
remained enthusiastic about the potential for the business and the vegan food
category overall, the unprecedented success of our new frozen vegetable
range led us to make a decision about where we needed to immediately focus
our resources and capital;
•
Daly again had another record month, with revenue up
+90% v pcp, which was driven by frozen and P&G range
BRAND UPDATE
9
• Continues to grow with sales of
$4.2m in FY23; new skus’s were
launched into IGA , Coles and
Woolworths during the year.
• FY24 is also looking strong with
two new white label products
secured with major retailers
• New PET 100% recyclable trays
were also introduced in FY23
Woodbridge Smokehouse
WBSH sales were $1.5m for FY23. Sales were impacted by our decision to delete
unprofitable lines, returning WBSH to a profitable business unit in FY23
We are seeing WBSH now returning to growth in FY24
Both Huon and Petuna have exited the value-added cold smoked product space,
creating a large opportunity for WBSH.
Opportunities currently being investigated with high end restaurants and Sydney
Fish Markets
WBSH is now the only processor of smoked Ocean Trout in Tasmania
Daly Potato Co.
Daly Potato Co. recorded sales revenue of
$2.8m in FY23 up 9% on FY22.
Daly frozen range demand continues to
exceed supply with four flavours ranged into
850 Woolworth stores nationally. Orders have
remained strong and we are looking at options
to increase capacity
Potato & Gravy launched into three states with
Coles & Woolworths
We have recently secured new technology for
Potato & Gravy to increase quality/shelf life
and capacity. Shelf life is now at 30 days.
New technology will improve P&G
Two kettles and dosing unit is a $298k
investment, improving quality and shelf life
Increased shelf life from 15 days to 30 days
improves supply chain, reduces waste,
opens further distribution opportunities to
other States (NSW and SA)
Production capacity increase of 4 x times
COGS (recipe) reduction of 25% per carton
Reduction of four FTE people
Internal rate of return is five times PFT’s cost
of capital and giving a payback in 15 months
Ice Cream jumps into summer
October FY23 sales up by 17% v pcp
New automated filling line 100%
commissioned, increasing capacity by 300%
with improved quality and efficiencies
New 1L Tubs launching into IGA stores
nationally from Nov23; opportunity is 1,500
stores
Two new flavours of 1L Tubs coming to market
Dec23 for a summer launch
Focus on Sustainable Packaging
PFT is committed to improving our environmental footprint by improving our product packaging and using
innovative materials to help reduce waste.
Tasmanian Pate Packaging
Daly Potato & Gravy Bowl and Lid
We are pleased to report that we have taken positive steps
towards this goal in FY23 with the unveiling of our new look
packaging for our Tasmanian Pate products converting all
packaging from PVC to RPET (100% recycled PET).
Our new Daly Potato & Gravy bowls and lids contain no
plastic, and are made from responsibly sourced, FSC

So they are 100% recyclable and compostable.
