Agronomics Limited
("Agronomics" or the "Company")
Net Asset Value calculation as at 30 September 2025
Agronomics Limited (AIM:ANIC), a leading listed company in the field of clean food, announces that its unaudited Net Asset Value per share ("NAV") calculation as at closing on 30 September 2025 was 14.65 pence per share, a 1.7% increase from 14.40 pence per share at 30 June 2025. Net Assets stand at £148 million, including investments of £144 million and uninvested cash and short-term deposits of £3.4 million.
The share price of 6.26 pence at 30 September 2025 represents a discount of 57% to the NAV per share on the same date. The average discount to NAV per share over the last 12-month period was 59%. Under IFRS, the Company's unquoted investments are generally carried at cost or the most recent priced funding round.
The Board notes the c £2.5 million increase in the Company's NAV during the quarter which relates primarily to the following:
- An unrealised FX gain of £2.7 million following revaluation of investments to month end spot rate, where we hold certain of our investments in USD, EUR and AUD, due to positive movements in these currencies against the Company's reporting currency of Pound Sterling in the quarter;
- Unrealised fair value gains on the investment held in Solar Foods Oy, with its shares traded on the Nasdaq First North Growth Exchange, of £0.3m; and
- Cash balances reduced by £0.5 million relating to ongoing running costs, and the cash and deposit balances at 30 September 2025 were £3.4 million. This is offset by interest income earned during the quarter, with £29k cash interest received and £371k loan note interest income accrued.
During the period, no fees were payable or accrued in accordance with the Shellbay Investments Limited Agreement. Shellbay's fees are solely payable when there is an annual increase in the NAV; further details are included in the 2024 annual report.

Jim Mellon, Executive Chair of Agronomics, commented:
"In the third quarter of the year, the Agronomics portfolio has made further impressive progress.
We can clearly see an acceleration of commercial traction for our precision fermentation companies. Onego Bio has received US FDA GRAS, Solar Foods has partnered with Ajinomoto of Japan, and the Clean Food Group has not only received approval for their Clean Oil but has also acquired a one million litre fermentation facility near Liverpool, which we consider a game-changer for the industry.
These developments clearly indicate that precision fermentation has begun to scale and is now a real option for food and food ingredient production. We are looking forward with excitement to see this industry grow rapidly and commercially over the coming quarters."
