6 What is rice bran Rice bran has been undervalued as animal feed and a waste-product due to its
short shelf lifeUpon milling, the rice bran becomes rancid within hours of milling and is commonly disposed as a low value by-productRBT’s proprietary technology stabilizes rice bran for one year, allowing its use in food and animal nutrition
productsAll white rice starts as whole grain rice or brown riceMost of the nutritive value is found in bran and germ During the milling process, the bran layers and germ, commonly referred to as rice bran, are removed in the process of
producing white rice The rice bran has a balanced and dense nutrient profile of protein, fiber, fats and carbs along with a rich source of vitamin E and gamma-oryzanol antioxidants RiceBran Technologies’ proprietary stabilization process
brings this highly attractive ingredient to market
7 How rice bran helps companies meet new trends Beverage ($10 billion category) Nutritional beverage
companies use rice bran as a fiber additive, protein source and anti-oxidant supplementNatural Snacks and Crackers ($5 billion category) Snack companies use rice bran as a non-GMO and gluten free replacement for corn, wheat and soy with the
benefit of high protein and fiber Gluten Free and Organic Baking ($1 billion category) Rice bran is a gluten free substitute for wheat flours that also provides a rich protein and fiber source Companion Animal ($2 billion category) Companion
animal companies are moving towards clean label, human-grade ingredients in pet food
8 RBT is shifting focus to growth Balance sheet repair and certification efforts largely
completeAdditional sales hires improved access to companion animal, protein, CPG, starch and fiber markets, and we are now positioned to add more products to our portfolioImportance of driving sales growth to lever cost structurePositioned to
expand our dominant market share in stabilized rice bran and related products
9 Strengthening our supply chain to drive growth Inventory-focused production versus
build-to-orderSafety-stock inventories will reduce seasonal supply risksImproving demand and production planningExpanding into Arkansas improves suppliesBeing a better partner for our suppliers – improving our consistency can improve supplies
10 Golden Ridge helps growth, lessens risk, adds EBITDA RBT acquired Golden Ridge Rice Mills on
November 28, 2018 for total consideration of $7.8mm, $5.0mm in the form of RBT stockGolden Ridge provides RBT important benefitsExpands SRB capacity and gives us full control of production processReduces capital risk – owning production vs.
leased/supply agreementEntry into Arkansas – produces about 50% of U.S. rice supply with shorter shipping lanes to the Midwest and Northeast Broader product portfolio and customer baseMeaningful EBITDA
11 FDA letter granting RBT’s petition Companies using our rice bran fiber products can now make
dietary fiber claims for these ingredientsIn early July 2018, RBT received the FDA letter granting our petition to include rice bran fiber in the Agency’s list of Approved Dietary FibersRice bran fiber contains a mix of cellulose, arabinoxylan,
lignin and pectin to qualify for this finding.
12 Driving operational improvements Plant-level performance incentives to drive stronger
resultsImproving transportation and logistic capabilities in challenging cost environmentAdding capacity in the Delta – closer proximity to more customers should drive sales expansion and improved marginsInvesting in new products and product
extensions – targeting 2-3 per year

23 Appendix A USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION We utilize “Adjusted EBITDA” as a supplemental
measure in our ongoing analysis of short term and long term cash requirement and liquidity needs. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is not a measure
derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (the most comparable GAAP financial measure to EBITDA). Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of our current financial performance. By
eliminating the impact of all material non-cash charges as well as items that do not regularly occur, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a more accurate and informative indicator of our cash requirements. The table on the following slides
contain a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking net income (GAAP) to Adjusted
EBITDA (non-GAAP). Due to the nature of certain reconciling items, it is not possible to predict with any reliability what future outcomes may be with regard to the expense or income that may ultimately be recognized in future periods. Any
forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA information that we may provide from time to time consistently excludes the same items from projected net income that are excluded from actual net income in the table below.
