Tassal rebalances sales channels to optimise returns Tassal Group Limited (ASX: TGR) today announced that in line with its strategy to rebalance sales channels and optimise returns, it has decided to withdraw its tenders for two domestic retail supply contracts – Coles’ fresh Salmon Deli business and fresh Salmon to Simplot for supply of packaged Salmon to Coles. The supply contracts for Coles fresh Salmon and Simplot will finish on 4 June 2016 and 30 June 2016, respectively.
This decision was taken to ensure Tassal continues to generate sustainable returns moving
forward in light of warmer water impacting growing conditions for near term supply. As Tassal
is rebalancing its sales channels to maintain sustainable returns, this decision is not expected to
impact revenues and earnings going forward.
Tassal has had a long and enduring relationship with Coles. This relationship is not expected to
change, and Tassal will continue to supply a wide range of other Salmon and Seafood products
to Coles.
The domestic wholesale salmon market has had, and continues to have, supply restrictions and
increased pricing to ensure impacts from a warm summer can be mitigated. This provides
Tassal with the opportunity to redirect salmon production into other domestic markets to
optimise returns following completion of the above contracts. The export market continues to present favourable conditions given supply shortages globally that are expected to continue for the next two years, with increased pricing and a low Australian dollar. Tassal will continue to utilise the export market to balance sales volumes in line with optimising shareholder returns.
