ASX Release

Babylon Quarterly Update and Appendix 4C

Highlights

  • Cash receipts of c. $9.7M in H1 FY21 up 9% on corresponding period of H1 FY20

  • Operating cash flow improvement of 16% on previous quarter

  • Unaudited H1 FY21 revenue of $10.3M shows growth of c. 32% over corresponding H1 FY20

  • Strong growth outlook continues with upcoming mobilization of rental equipment and new clients for our diesel maintenance services

The Board of specialist resources services provider Babylon Pump & Power Limited (“Babylon” or “the Company”), (ASX: BPP), is pleased to present a quarterly update and its quarterly cash flow report for the quarter ended 31 December 2020.

The Board is delighted to report continued revenue growth with unaudited revenue of $10.3M representing 32% growth over H1 FY20. As a result, cash receipts of $9.7M in H1 represent 9% growth on the corresponding H1 FY20.

The negative operating cashflow is directly attributable to the increase in work in progress and finished goods resulting from increased throughput in the Company’s workshops. The c. $3.7M of WIP and finished goods is a significant increase over 31 December 2019. The majority is expected to be invoiced plus margin as we close out FY21.

The Company continues to hold c. $2.8M of cash and facilities to enable the funding of continued growth.

Operations Update

Specialty Rental

During the quarter Babylon expanded the rental fleet through acquisition of pumping assets from Tilbrook Ryder Investments Pty Ltd (Trico). Fleet acquisition in combination with efforts by our recently appointed rental dedicated business development manager has resulted in new rental projects for the Company. Multiple dewatering opportunities have now converted to contracts for the upcoming months which will impact in the upcoming quarters.

Notable new rental works / highlights include:

  • Secured dewatering service works for Koolan Iron Ore Pty Ltd

  • Mobilised long-term high-pressure air rental in Q3 for exploration drilling contractor

  • Mobilized equipment Q3 to Barrow Island for repeat client work

Diesel Maintenance

Significant investment has been made in the Primepower Queensland workshop resulting in increased throughput and capability. Work in progress and finished goods for the Company has increased c. 221% over 31 December 2019. This work is expected to be invoiced and recognized as revenue in FY21.

Notable diesel maintenance highlights included:

  • Secured new major bauxite mining client with multiple engine rebuilds in progress from Q3

  • Began rebuild program for 730E modules for new WA based mining client

  • Began rebuild program for QSK78 engines for existing major iron ore client

  • Rebuild of 3516HD for new major contract mining client

  • Continued rebuild turns for Haulmax 3900 engine and components

Summary and Outlook

The Company continues to grow its revenue base via its diesel maintenance and project rental services and continues to see material contract opportunities which are expected to maintain the Company’s ongoing rapid growth trajectory.

The Board is confident the Company is well placed to continue its growth trajectory established in the four years since Company inception.

The Company’s Appendix 4C follows for the quarter ended 31 December 2020.
