Management Discussion "Over the past few months, we have completed a number of important steps to reposition S&W for future success by exclusively focusing our operations on our core, Americas-based business, led by our high margin Double Team sorghum solutions," commented S&W's CEO, Mark Herrmann. "We believe these actions, including the completion of the Australian VA process, entry into a new working capital facility, and implementation of an operating optimization plan to align our cost structure, have dramatically improved the long-term outlook for S&W. With a streamlined organization and focused management team, we feel we are poised to truly benefit from our pioneering research and development of sorghum and camelina, two globally important crops where S&W has differentiated technology." "Our outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2025 remains optimistic, with expectations that we will have positive adjusted EBITDA for the six-month period of January through June 2025. We look forward to the successful execution of our operating objectives in this important spring planting season as we look to drive continued value for S&W," Herrmann concluded. S&W Australia As previously reported, S&W Australia adopted a voluntary plan of administration on July 24, 2024, and on October 11, 2024, creditors of S&W Australia approved a proposed Deed of Company Arrangement, or DOCA, pursuant to which, among other things, 100% of the shares in S&W Australia would be transferred to Avior Asset Management No. 3 Pty Ltd. In order to facilitate the satisfaction of certain conditions to the effectiveness of the DOCA, on November 22, 2024, the effective date of the DOCA, S&W entered into: a Business Transfer Agreement, which transferred certain intellectual property rights related to alfalfa and white clover seeds necessary for S&W Australia's continued operations, along with certain related inventory, to S&W Australia; a Transitional Services Deed, which provided certain services to S&W Australia on a temporary basis to support the transition of services from S&W to S&W Australia; a Deed of Settlement and Release with S&W Australia, releasing S&W from all its net intercompany liabilities and obligations owed to S&W Australia; and a Deed of Release of U.S. Corporate Guarantee with National Australia Bank Limited, or NAB, releasing S&W from all liability under S&W Australia's finance agreement with NAB, which was guaranteed by S&W up to a maximum of AUD $15.0 million. Strategic Alternatives Review Process On January 13, 2025, S&W announced that its board of directors commenced a process to explore and evaluate various strategic alternatives that may be available to S&W in an effort to enhance shareholder value. S&W expects to consider a broad range of potential opportunities, including, among others, a sale of S&W, a merger with another strategic partner, a recapitalization or continued execution of S&W's attractive long-term business plan. There are no assurances the review process will result in S&W pursuing any transaction or any other strategic outcome, nor is there a timetable for completion of this process. Financial Results Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $5.1 million compared to total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 of $8.3 million. This decrease was driven by a $2.1 million decrease in Double Team grain sorghum sales based on timing of private label shipping, a $0.9 million decrease in non-dormant alfalfa sales in the Middle East North Africa region driven by the import ban on alfalfa in Saudi Arabia, a $1.1 million decrease in sorghum sales in Mexico related to tightening of credit policies and carryover seed from the prior year in the market, a $0.5 million decrease in non-dormant alfalfa sales due to lower domestic demand, and a $0.3 million decrease in sorghum sales in South Africa due to limited supply of lower quality inventory compared to prior year. These decreases were offset by a $0.9 million increase in dormant alfalfa sales due to a strategic bulk sale of conditioned alfalfa, a $0.6 million increase in conventional sorghum sales in the United States due to increased available supply in the current year, and a $0.3 million increase in millet sales in the United States. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was 37.1% compared to gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 of 42.8%. The gross profit percentage decrease was primarily driven by an estimated 22.0 point decrease attributable to fewer sales of S&W's high margin Double Team sorghum, an estimated 7.0 point decrease attributable to the strategic sale of dormant alfalfa, and an estimated 3.0 point decrease attributable to the International segment related to lower selling prices in the Middle East North Africa region due to lower demand. This was offset by an estimated 26.0 point increase in margins attributable to the sale of North American conventional sorghum and S&W's non-dormant alfalfa business. GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 were $6.2 million compared to GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 of $5.7 million. This increase was due to a $0.4 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses, a $0.1 million increase in research and development expenses, and a $0.1 million increase in loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization costs. Adjusted operating expenses (see Table A1) were $4.9 million for both for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was ($6.3) million, or ($2.73) per basic and diluted share, compared to ($3.8) million, or ($1.66) per basic and diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $4.6 million, or $2.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to ($2.7) million, or ($1.21) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was ($1.7) million, or ($0.72) per basic and diluted share, compared to ($6.5) million, or ($2.85) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted net loss (see Table A2) for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was ($4.7) million, or ($2.05) per basic and diluted share, excluding the loss from discontinued operations, interest expense - amortization of debt discount, non-recurring transaction costs, dividends accrued for participating securities and accretion, and equity in loss of equity method investee (Vision Bioenergy), net of tax. Adjusted net loss (see Table A2) for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was ($2.9) million, or ($1.27) per basic and diluted share, excluding the loss from discontinued operations, interest expense - amortization of debt discount, non-recurring transaction costs, dividends accrued for participating securities and accretion, and equity in loss of equity method investee (Vision Bioenergy), net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA (see Table B) for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was ($2.9) million compared to adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 of ($1.1) million. Fiscal 2025 Guidance S&W expects fiscal 2025 revenue to be within a range of $34.5 to $38.0 million. This includes approximately $4.1 million of international sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2024, comparable revenue from continuing operations was $38.0 million, which excludes S&W Australia activity. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of ($5.0) million to ($3.0) million for fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of fiscal 2025 was ($6.0) million, indicating that S&W expects adjusted EBITDA for the second half of the fiscal year to be in a range of $1.0 million to $3.0 million. In fiscal 2024, S&W's adjusted EBITDA, excluding S&W Australia activity, was ($6.4) million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, S&W has provided the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release and the accompanying tables: adjusted EBITDA; adjusted operating expenses; as well as adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share. S&W uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of its operating performance and liquidity, and believes they are useful to investors as a supplement to GAAP measures in analyzing, trending and benchmarking the performance and value of its business. However, these measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with GAAP. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. For reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measures under GAAP, see Tables A1, A2, and B accompanying this release. We have not reconciled our guidance for adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2025 to net loss because the reconciling line items that impact net loss, including interest expense, non-cash stock-based compensation, foreign currency loss (gain), and equity in loss of equity method investee (Vision Bioenergy), net of tax, among others, are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted. The actual amount of these items during fiscal 2025 will have a significant impact on net loss. Accordingly, a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts. In order to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, S&W makes targeted adjustments to certain GAAP financial line items found on its condensed consolidated statement of operations, backing out non-recurring or unique items that we believe otherwise distort the underlying results and trends of the ongoing business. S&W has excluded the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP financial measures for the periods presented: Selling, general and administrative expenses; operating expenses. S&W excludes from operating expenses depreciation and amortization and a portion of SG&A expense related to non-recurring transaction costs and, for its adjusted EBITDA calculation, also non-cash stock-based compensation. S&W excludes non-recurring transaction costs from S&W's total operating expenses to provide investors a method to compare its operating results to prior periods and to peer companies, as such amounts can vary significantly based on the frequency of restructuring or acquisition events and the magnitude of restructuring or acquisition expenses. Net income (loss) on discontinued operations: S&W excludes the net income (loss) on discontinued operations, as this is outside of the scope of normal operations and is related to the disposal and operations of S&W Australia, which is no longer applicable. S&W believes it is important to exclude this amount in order to better understand its business performance. Foreign currency loss (gain). The foreign currency loss (gain) represents fluctuations from changes in exchange rates that are uncertain or out of S&W's control and cannot be reasonably predicted. S&W believes it is useful to exclude this amount in order to better understand its business performance and allow investors to compare its results with peer companies. Interest expense – amortization of debt discount. Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs are primarily related to S&W's working capital lines of credit and term loans. These amounts are non-cash charges and are unrelated to its core performance during any particular period. S&W believes it is useful to exclude these amounts in order to better understand its business performance and allow investors to compare its results with peer companies. Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net primary consists of interest incurred on S&W's working capital credit facilities, the MFP Loan, the AgAmerica loan, and equipment capital leases. S&W believes it is useful to exclude these amounts in order to better understand its business performance and allow investors to compare its results with peer companies. Dividends accrued for participating securities and accretion. Dividends accrued for participating securities and accretion relates to dividends accrued for the Series B convertible preferred stock and the accretion for the discount related to the warrants issued in conjunction with the Series B convertible preferred stock. S&W believes it is useful to exclude these amounts in order to better understand its business performance and allow investors to compare its results with peer companies. Equity in loss of equity method investee (Vision Bioenergy), net of tax. This loss represents S&W's percentage of Vision Bioenergy's loss for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, as it has significant influence in Vision Bioenergy. S&W believes it is useful to exclude these amounts in order to better understand its business performance and allow investors to compare its results with peer companies. Descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release and the accompanying tables are as follows: Adjusted Operating Expenses. S&W defines adjusted operating expenses as GAAP operating expenses adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, and non-recurring transaction costs. S&W believes that the use of adjusted operating expenses is useful to investors and other users of its financial statements in evaluating its operating performance because it provides a method to compare its operating results to prior periods and to peer companies after making adjustments for depreciation and amortization and amounts that are not expected to recur. Adjusted net loss and loss per share. S&W defines adjusted net loss as net loss attributable to S&W less interest expense – amortization of debt discount, non-recurring transaction costs, dividends accrued for participating securities and accretion, and equity in loss of equity method investee (Vision Bioenergy), net of tax. S&W believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for evaluating its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA. S&W defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to S&W adjusted to exclude net income (loss) from discontinued operations, interest expense, net, interest expense – amortization of debt discount, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring transaction costs, non-cash stock-based compensation, foreign currency loss (gain), equity in loss of equity method investee (Vision Bioenergy), net of tax, and dividends accrued for participating securities and accretion. S&W believes that the use of adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of its financial statements in evaluating its operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. S&W uses adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of its performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and to communicate with its Board concerning its financial performance. Management does not place undue reliance on adjusted EBITDA as its only measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
