Sale of Dairy Ireland and creation of Glanbia Ireland The sale of 60% of Dairy Ireland and related assets was completed on 2 July. net cash proceeds from the transaction is expected to be in excess of 200 million. Of the total net cash proceeds, 112 million representing the sale of the 60% equity stake in Dairy Ireland and related assets, was received by Glanbia immediately prior to the end of the first half of and is included in the financial statements for HY. The balance of the cash proceeds to be received are dependent on the value of working capital in Dairy Ireland at 1 July and are subject to the final agreement of completion accounts. All proceeds are expected to be received in full by 31 October. The operations of Dairy Ireland are being integrated with Glanbia Ingredients Ireland DAC, and the combined business has been renamed Glanbia Ireland DAC ( Glanbia Ireland ). Glanbia Ireland is a joint venture which is 60% owned by Glanbia Co-operative Society Limited and 40% owned by Glanbia plc. Glanbia Ireland is the largest dairy and agri business in Ireland with pro-forma revenues in excess of 1.5 billion. Glanbia Ireland is well positioned to support the growth ambitions of its suppliers in the coming years producing a diverse range of value added dairy ingredients and consumer products. Capital investment and corporate development Glanbia s total investment in capital expenditure was 33.3 million in the first half of, of which 19.1 million was strategic investment. The key strategic project completed in the period was a new innovation centre in Glanbia Performance Nutrition in Illinois, USA. Glanbia also completed two acquisitions in the period, Grass Advantage LLC ("Amazing Grass") a plant based nutrition brand in the US and B&F Vastgoed B.V.

Glanbia Performance Nutrition Re-presented Constant Currency m HY HY Change Change Revenue % +5.4% EBITA % +0.2% EBITA margin 15.4% 16.1% - 70bps - 80bps Commentary is on a constant currency basis throughout Glanbia Performance Nutrition ( GPN ) delivered a satisfactory result in the first half of in the context of challenging comparatives for the same period in. Revenues increased 5.4% to million. The key drivers of revenue growth was a 6.2% contribution from the combined acquisitions of Amazing Grass and Body & Fit offset by a 0.8% volume decrease as a result of contract revenue declines. Overall, year on year pricing was neutral on a comparative basis. Like-for-like branded revenue growth in the period was 0.7% primarily driven by a good performance in EMEA and LAPAC markets and improved momentum in the US market during the second quarter, a dynamic which is anticipated to continue into the second half of. GPN remains focused on innovation as a core element of sustainable branded growth with the launches of ON Cake Bites and thinkthin plant based bars performing well in the period. GPN also completed development of a new innovation facility in Illinois, USA to further support new product development across the portfolio. The integration of the Amazing Grass and Body & Fit acquisitions completed in the period is on track with targeted investment plans being developed to fuel growth. Amazing Grass via its portfolio of plant based, organic and GMO free nutrition products participates in a high growth category and further expands GPN s reach with lifestyle consumers in the natural, online and specialty channels in North America. Body & Fit provides GPN with a presence in the European direct to consumer online channel. EBITA grew by 0.2% in the period as revenue growth was offset by EBITA margin compression of 80 basis points to 15.4%. The margin decrease was primarily as a result of a year on year increase in input Glanbia plc Delivering better nutrition for every step of life s journey half year results Page 3

Revenues increased by 9.0% to million and this was driven by positive pricing of 5.9% and a volume increase of 3.1%. Price improvement was primarily related to higher dairy markets. The main driver of volume growth was increased sales of dairy and non-dairy value added systems by Nutritional Solutions. Margins were 10.0% which was a 10 basis point reduction versus the same period in the prior year. GN expects the current momentum in the Nutritional Solutions business to continue into the second half of which is expected to be the primary driver of EBITA growth in FY. Nutritional Solutions Nutritional Solutions is a leading marketer of advanced technology whey protein, specialist vitamin & mineral blends, plant based ingredients and functional beverages. Nutritional Solutions delivered a strong performance in H1 with revenue of million, an 18.6% increase on H1. This was mainly driven by volume growth of value-added dairy and non-dairy ingredients, including bar systems, ready to mix and ready to drink solutions in addition to vitamin & mineral blends across a range of customers, categories and geographies. Higher dairy markets drove additional price improvement within Nutritional Solutions.

6 Consumer Products delivered continued growth in sales of value added milk in the period. However margins were reduced due to increased milk and dairy product costs which resulted in a reduced performance. Agribusiness delivered a reduced performance in the period. Increased animal feed and fertiliser volume was more than offset by lower pricing which led to a decline in margin. Joint Ventures & Associates (Glanbia Share) Re-presented* Constant Currency m HY HY Change Change Revenue* % +23.2% EBITA* % +83.8% EBITA margin 6.9% 4.6% +230bps +230bps * Joint Ventures and Associates results have been represented to reflect the removal of discontinued operations related to investments in Associated Companies which were sold as part of the Dairy Ireland transaction. Commentary is on a constant currency basis throughout Joint Ventures & Associates delivered a strong performance in the first half of with revenue increasing by 23.2% in the period. The driver of the revenue growth was a 21.8% improvement in pricing as a result of improved global dairy markets and a 1.4% increase in volumes primarily driven by Glanbia Ingredients Ireland DAC. Margin improved by 230 basis points to 6.9% and this coupled with revenue growth drove an 83.8% increase in EBITA in the first half of. Due to the timing of dairy market movements the result for Joint Ventures and Associates in FY will be ahead of FY with growth weighted towards H1.

21 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 1 JULY 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Glanbia plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the Group) is a leading global nutrition group with its main operations in Europe, USA, Middle East, Asia Pacific and Latin America. The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Ireland. The address of its registered office is Glanbia House, Kilkenny, Ireland. Glanbia Co operative Society Limited (the Society), together with its subsidiaries, holds 33.5% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Board of Directors as at 1 July is comprised of 18 members, of which up to 10 are nominated by the Society. In accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, the Society controls the Group and is the ultimate parent of the Group. The Company s shares are quoted on the Irish and London Stock Exchanges. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (interim financial statements) as at and for the 26 week period ended 1 July were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 9 August. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of preparation The interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 1 July have been prepared in accordance with the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 as amended, the related Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland and with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December ( Annual Report), which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group s financial position and performance since the last annual report. The interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 1 July and, as at and for the six months ended 2 July, have neither been audited nor reviewed by the Group s auditors. Re presentation Certain comparative amounts in the balance sheet as at 2 July have been reclassified or re presented, to be consistent with the presentation in the Annual Report. These include the reclassification of retirement benefit assets (note 8); the presentation of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities where the offset criteria in IAS 12 Income Taxes are met; and the offset of certain trade payables and receivables where the Group is acting as agent in the collection of receivables. (b) Statutory information The interim financial statements are considered non statutory financial statements for the purposes of the Companies Act 2014 and in compliance with section 340(4) of that Act the Group states that: the interim financial statements for the half year to 1 July have been prepared to meet our obligation to do so under the Transparency Directive (2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 as amended (Statutory Instrument No. 277); the interim financial statements as at and for the half year to 1 July do not constitute the statutory financial statements of the Group and are unaudited; the statutory financial statements as at and for the financial year ended 31 December have been annexed to the annual return and filed with the Companies Registration Office; the statutory auditors of the Group have made a report under section 391 in the form required by section 336 Companies Act 2014 in respect of the statutory financial statements of the Group; and the matters referred to in the statutory auditors report were unqualified, and did not include a reference to any matters to which the statutory auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report. (c) Going Concern The Group s business activities, together with the main factors likely to affect its future development and performance, are described in the Strategic Report on pages 1 to 40 of the Annual Report. As outlined in note 9, on 2 July the Group disposed of 60% of its shareholding in Dairy Ireland and related assets to the Society. There has been no other significant change to the activities and factors as outlined in the Annual Report. After making enquiries, the Directors have reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the interim financial statements. The Group therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its interim financial statements. In reaching this conclusion the Directors have given due regard to: Available cash resources, cash generated from operations, committed bank facilities and their maturities which taken together provide confidence that Glanbia will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due; and The Group s financial risk management policies which are described in the Annual Report, the nature of business activities and the factors likely to impact operating performance and future growth. (d) Discontinued operations and non current assets held for sale Discontinued operations and non current assets held for sale are defined as follows: a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, abandoned or is classified as held for sale and: represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation; or is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation; or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal, abandonment or when the operations meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Non current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying value and the fair value less costs to sell. Non current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than continued use. This condition is regarded as satisfied only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year of the date of classification. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, once classified as held for sale, are not depreciated or amortised. When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of Glanbia plc Delivering better nutrition for every step of life s journey half year results Page 20
