Key Metrics FY2025 FY2024 Difference % Change
Profit before tax $33.5m $13.3m +$20.2m +152%
Net profit after tax $21.9m $9.3m +$12.6m +135%
Earnings per share 14.0 cps 6.0 cps +8.0 cps +133%
Dividends per share 7.43 cps 7.30 cps +0.13 cps +2%
Portfolio size 58.7 GL 91.5 GL -32.8 GL -36%
Rivco Australia reported a Net Profit
Before Tax of $33.5 million for FY25
(+152% above FY24). This result
includes absorbing the one-off costs
associated with the internalisation.
This positive result was underpinned
by improving yields on high security
water entitlements, management of
unleased allocations, and profits from
water entitlement sales.
This translated to an EPS of
14 cents per share in FY25,
a 133% increase when compared
to FY2024.
While the Company completed several
acquisitions and disposals in FY25, the
net portfolio size decreased by 32.8 GL,
due to net entitlement sales recorded
during the year.
The Company is pleased to report a $33.5 million Profit Before Tax in FY25 (+152% when compared to FY24).

Net Asset Summary FY2025 FY2024 Difference % Change
Permanent water assets (fair value) 1, 2 $286.3m $387.1m -$100.8m -26%
Temporary water assets (fair value) 2 $5.3m $4.4m +$0.9m +20%
Total net assets (fair value) 2 $252.6m $240.2m +$12.4m +5%
Non-statutory NAV per share $1.59 $1.54 +$0.05 +3%
Net Asset Value (“NAV”)
closed at $1.59 per share,
increasing by 5 cents per
share during the year.
The increase in NAV was
primarily driven by the sale of
water entitlements above
carrying values. This result also
included fully franked dividends
paid during the year of 7.43 cps.
Adding back fully franked
dividends, total pre-tax NAV
performance in FY25 was
+12.9%.
Water entitlement values were
relatively flat for FY25. The
recent Government buybacks
are likely to have been a key
contributor to lower trading
activity during the year.
The Company held
approximately $5.3 million
(Fair Market Value) of
unleased water allocations at
31 December 2025. These
water allocations have a nil
cost base, with sales
continuing into Q1 2026 to
support summer irrigation
programs.
The Company continues to
monitor water entitlement
markets for well-priced
opportunities in zones that
complement the existing
portfolio.
1. The FY2024 comparative includes water entitlement acquisitions that were contracted at 31 December 2024 and settled in 1HY2025.
2. Fair Market Value is prepared in accordance with the Company’s monthly NAV statement. The water portfolio is evaluated on a monthly basis by the Company’s independent valuer, “Ricardo”. Fair Market Value is a non-IFRS measure that is not reviewed or audited by the Company’s auditor.
The Company delivered a pre-tax NAV total return of +12.9% in FY25, including fully franked dividends paid.
Internalisation & Name Change Complete
Rivco Australia I 2025 Annual Results Presentation 9
Completion of the internalisation has strengthened Rivco’s operating model,
delivering a more scalable cost base, enhanced governance and
accountability, and stronger alignment with shareholders.
The transition was implemented smoothly, with continuity maintained
through the retention of the existing management team.
All one-off costs associated with the internalisation were incurred in FY2025,
with no further internalisation costs expected.
Under the externally managed structure, Rivco incurred approximately $3.6
million p.a. in total operating costs, comprising external management and
administration fees, and internal overhead costs.
On a like-for-like basis, the internalised model expects ongoing operating
costs to be approximately $2.6 million p.a., implying indicative recurring cost
savings of approximately $1.0 million p.a., with no performance fees being
payable. *Indicative, steady-state run-rate comparison only. Figures are estimates, subject to change as the internalised
model matures, and exclude one-off internalisation costs and prior period performance fees.

borrowings for FY25 was
5.76%, down from
5.85% in FY2024.
Based on $22.5 million of
drawn debt at 31
December 2025, a 25 bps
change in interest rates
would impact annual
interest expenses by
~$56k p.a.
Total interest paid for
FY25 of $3.2 million
(FY24: $6.7 million).
The Company does not
have any interest rate
hedging arrangements in
place.
During the first half of
2025, the Company
completed on-market
buybacks of 1.6 million
shares at an average
price of $1.50 per share.
Significant deleveraging in FY25 strengthened the Company’s balance sheet and reduced interest expenses.

Dividends
The Company paid two fully franked dividends during FY25, totalling 7.43 cents per share.
The Company delivered on both its dividend targets in FY25 with shareholders
receiving two fully franked dividends during the year, totalling 7.43 cents per
share (FY24: 7.30 cents per share).
Total dividends of 52.4 cents per share have been paid to shareholders since
November 2017.
April 2026 Dividend: The Company is pleased to declare a fully franked Final
2025 dividend of 3.72 cents per share, to be paid on 30 April 2026.
October 2026 Dividend: Looking ahead, the Board intends to pay a dividend in
October 2026 under an evolved framework.
Evolved Framework: The Company intends to adopt an evolved dividend
framework underpinned by core operational earnings. Realised capital gains
from the sale of water entitlements will be assessed separately and, subject to
market conditions, may be allocated in whole or in part to reinvestment in
entitlements, debt reduction, on-market share buybacks, or additional
dividends. This framework enhances sustainability and discipline while
preserving flexibility to deploy capital to the most accretive opportunities and
maximise total shareholder returns.

Portfolio Performance
Strategic transactions remained the primary focus for portfolio rebalancing in FY25.
Rivco Australia I 2025 Annual Results Presentation 13
The Company has continued to focus on rebalancing its portfolio
through a number of sales and acquisitions completed during the year.
The entitlement market experienced mixed conditions throughout the
year. The Ricardo Entitlement Index increased by 2.7% in the first half of
2025, before declining by 1.5% in the second half, resulting in a net
increase of 1.2% for the year.
During the year, the Company sold 18.1 GL of high security entitlements
and 15.5 GL of general security entitlements for a combined total of
$143.4 million.
FY25 realised gains from entitlement sales of $38.7 million, executed
at prices materially above carrying value. These sales, together with the
associated debt repayment, have increased the Company’s flexibility
and optionality in future capital allocation decisions.

Portfolio Diversification
Diversification remains a strategic focus, providing stability and hedging through variable weather conditions.
Rivco Australia I 2025 Annual Results Presentation 14
The Company remains committed to
maintaining a diversified portfolio with
the intention of providing
shareholders with balanced returns
across various climatic scenarios.
With the shift to drier conditions and
the decline in dam storage levels
throughout 2025, the Company’s high
security entitlements are now the
main driver of returns, reinforcing the
importance of portfolio diversification.
High security entitlement yields
remain strong amid drier conditions,
while general security entitlements
provide upside in average to wetter
seasons.
The Company actively monitors water
markets for opportunities that
complement its existing portfolio
holdings.

Government Buybacks
Water entitlement values have demonstrated a strong long-term track
record, delivering a ~7% p.a. CAGR since 2007, reinforcing water’s role
as a long-term, defensive and largely uncorrelated real asset.
Government buybacks continue to absorb entitlements from the
market, with the Australian Government actively acquiring large
volumes of water entitlements during 2025.
At September 2025, 169.8 GL had been recovered toward the 450 GL
target, leaving 280.2 GL to be secured by 31 December 2027. The
Government has indicated it plans to recover up to a further 230 GL in
2026 through existing and expanded buyback programs.
Against a backdrop of improving yields and limited supply, the
Company has observed select high security parcels transacting above
prevailing market prices in early 2026.

Dam storage levels reflect the volume of
water held in storage and are a key supply-
side indicator of water availability to
agriculture in upcoming seasons.
At 28 February 2026, weighted average
southern Basin dam storages were at 43%
of capacity, broadly comparable to levels
observed in early 2019, ahead of the period
in which Lower Murray spot prices last
peaked.

*Average at 28 February each year - 1980 to 2026.
Inflows over the next six months will be critical in setting dam storage
levels ahead of summer 2026/27. Storage levels directly influence
allocation determinations to entitlement holders, which in turn drive
available supply and spot market pricing.
Allocation Determinations (%’s)
Allocation determinations represent how much water has been attributed to entitlements holders in any given season.

Source: Water allocation percentages as of 1 February each year, as per the relevant state resource managers.
Drier conditions, and in turn
lower storage levels, over the last
12-18 months have resulted in
lower allocation determinations
across key southern basin
systems, reducing available
market supply.
Lower awarded allocations
constrain available supply, which
has historically supported higher
spot prices, particularly during
peak summer demand.
Allocations as of early 2026 are
broadly similar to early 2019,
when tighter starting allocations
preceded a materially tighter
spot market.
Allocation Market Update
Drier conditions and lower allocation determinations tend to increase spot and lease prices.
Rivco Australia I 2025 Annual Results Presentation 20
Combined allocation prices in the southern Murray-Darling Basin reached a peak
of approximately $800/ML in late 20191
, following a period of prolonged dry
conditions. Water allocation prices in several zones exceeded $1,000/ML.
Allocation prices then reduced significantly from their peaks in 2019 due to 4
consecutive wet years. Allocation prices reached as low as $5/ML during this
period.
Historical data indicates a clear correlation between dry periods and elevated
allocation prices, while wet periods have generally resulted in lower prices.
Recent drier conditions and lower storage levels have contributed to upward
pressure on allocation and lease prices, with average allocation prices reaching
$450/ML in February 20261
, and as high as $550/ML in some zones.
Limited inflows to dam storages over winter may continue to strain water
availability. This may influence water allocation prices for next season
(2026/2027).
Allocation prices trend to reflect increased sensitivity to weather patterns and
water availability, reinforcing the strategic importance of portfolio diversification
and water security.
