Comment from CEO Pedro Courard:
During the first half of 2026, the Company continued to implement measures to
improve the capacity and efficiency of the Bluehouse. In the first half the
Company commissioned improved CO2 degassing and biofiltration capacity on all
ongrowing systems on the farm which have improved water quality. Daily feeding
has increased, which has driven increased harvest volumes compared to the same
period last year, and we closed the half year with higher biomass than any time
before. The Company also commissioned a new water-cooling system that
significantly improves efficiency, reduces risk and cost of equipment and
energy.
