Looks very good indeed. The dry weather has been good for them and they are forecasting an overall harvesting of 32 million trays, up nearly 2 million from last year's record. All of the increase is in Sun Gold which is great to see. Tempting to start buying SEK again

And even better selling in the $6.30 - $ 6.50 range last year :-)
But seriously, I feel it is time to reenter very soon. Only lack of funds holding me back right now.

half of this is in property sales , however so cannot be relied on for future years.
Subsequent sales of Seeka's |
Northland orchard portfolio that are either agreed or have settled relate to |
an aggregate total sum of $25.9m, representing a gain on sale of $4.2m, |
assuming all sales achieve settlement. |
For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

The more profitable SunGold production will for the first time exceed green kiwi tray production, got to be a booster.

Correct Peat that half the forecasted increase in the profit update is from property sales but that also means the other half is from underlying earnings. That is quite a substantial upgrade from the earlier guidance. Sun Gold production fast increasing and market for all we can produce basically.
I note that post harvest operations increased EBIDTA 46% between 2017 & 2018 which indicates that the economies of scale, after the Kerikeri acquisition and growth in the last few years, is starting to deliver benefits.
But retail and Australia still disappointing.
Overall I think with the re-capitalisation through the rights issue giving them an extra $48m, the size of the post harvest operations and capital already invested for further growth, SEK is well positioned for further growth in volumes and profits.

and some of the earnings uplift is due to smaller sweeter fruit and the implied assumption it obtains higher prices so theres a seasonal factor in that seeka never expected this to happen in there forecasting. so need to discount this portion of earnings as a one off
one step ahead of the herd

TRANSACT: SEK: SEEKA CONTINUES ITS HEARTLAND GROWTH STORY
Seeka Limited [NZX:SEK] announces that it has agreed to purchase 100% of
Aongatete Coolstores Limited for a combined business value of $25m, subject
to adjustments. This acquisition is part of Seeka's heartland growth strategy
and is expected to add an estimated 4m to 4.5m trays to Seeka's catchment and
to deliver sustainable EBITDA of between $3.5m and $4.5m.
Seeka's current guidance for FY2019 excludes the impact of this crop and
EBITDA.
Seeka expects its net bank debt to EBITDA ratio to be within the policy range
of 1.5x to 2.5x by the end of the year taking into account anticipated
orchard sales, gains on those sales, operational performance, and capital
expenditure.
Aongatete is an integrated kiwifruit orcharding and post-harvest company
operating across the Bay of Plenty. Its location is within Seeka's
traditional catchment, the assets acquired are of excellent quality and the
people and operation are renowned for their excellent performance for
growers, grower focus and innovation.
The purchase is anticipated to settle on 18 March 2019.
Ends.

Will be worth watching to see if the earnings are generated or not in years to come...
Care to tell us the base for your statement? I can't read out of Seekas anouncement the current earnings?
Did you happen to be the losing bidder for the site?
