Highlights

• Joint Venture (‘JV’) legal documentation executed with US partner Kentucky Carbon Processing, LLC (KCP) for Carbonxt’s state-of-the-art activated carbon plant in Kentucky, USA.
• This major development will see CG1 move to 50% of a 10,000 tons per annum plant producing high quality activated carbon products, with further expansion anticipated for minimal further capex.
• The development of the KCP sees the transition of the existing Inez Power facility to an activated carbon plant which has lower development risk, lower cost, higher capacity and a better scheduling of future cashflows for Carbonxt.
• The JV facilitates Carbonxt’s entry into the water treatment sector for Activated Carbon products, increasing the Company’s estimated addressable market by ~$US900m.
• Quarterly customer receipts were A$2.4m, down 35% on the prior quarter and 18% on PCP, due almost entirely to sales being deferred to the current quarter. The bulk of the difference will be recouped in the September quarter from our largest Pellet Customer.
• Product manufacturing and operating costs decreased by 24% compared to the last quarter, primarily due to planned efficienty actions implemented at both the Arden Hills and Black Blirch facilities.
• The value of unsold inventory has increased from ~A$0.9m to A$1.9m (at cost) as ACP was manufactured and stored for our largest customer in anticipation of meeting its full year forecast.
