Technology platforms and commercialization

• Commercializing two patented platforms: pulsed electric fields (PEF) for liquid foods and vacuum injection for forestry and floriculture.

• PEF increases extraction yields for olive oil, avocado oil, and juices, improving quality and value.

• Vacuum injection enhances rooting and survival rates in forestry cuttings, reducing waste and boosting productivity.

• Global commercialization is in early stages, with growing reference customers.

Market traction and customer segments

• Strong momentum in the olive oil industry, especially in Andalusia, Spain, with leading producers adopting the technology.

• PEF delivers 3–5% higher olive oil yield and qualifies oil as extra virgin due to lower extraction temperatures.

• Juice industry customers, such as Dole, achieve 10–15% higher juice yield.

• Payback period for customers is 3–5 years in olive oil and about 1 year in juice production.

Financial performance and seasonality

• Achieved first positive EBITDA in Q3, driven by olive oil segment sales.

• Sales and installations are seasonal, with production and installation peaking from September to January.

• Additional sales to pineapple and avocado oil segments, including entry into Del Monte.

• Ongoing cost reduction efforts expected to continue into 2026.
