ASX Announcement (ASX: ERG)
Quarterly Activity Report to 30 September 2023
Eneco Refresh Ltd (Eneco) is pleased to present a review for its performance for the first quarter ending September 2023. Total revenue for the quarter by Cash Generating Units (CGU) compared to the same period last financial year are as follows:
| Cash Generating Units Western Australia (WA) New South Wales (NSW) Victoria (VIC) Northern Territory (NT) Queensland (QLD) Refresh Waters Refresh Plastics Total |
July 23- Sept 23 $'000 946 825 448 31 684 2,934 544 3,478 |
July 22- Sept 22 $'000 883 654 367 462 604 2,970 588 3,558 |
Variance |
|---|---|---|---|
| $’000 7% 26% 22% -93% 13% -1% -7% -2% |
Revenue dropped by 2% this quarter because of the sale of our Northern Territory property and business. However, as previously announced, the sale has also generated significant cash funds, which are being held for future investment. But for this anomaly, our revenue would otherwise have increased.
The increased outflow of funds last quarter was primarily due to 2 factors:
-
Costs for the mandatory cleanup following the fire at our Melbourne factory, as mandated by EPA Victoria and Melbourne Water totalling $1,790,000; and
-
Payment of insurance premiums for the full year, amounting to $256,287. This advance payment enabled us to achieve a total discount on the premium, noting that we have significant funds at bank.
A summary of expenditure incurred compared to the previous quarter is as follows:
| Sept Quarter $’000 Product manufacturing and operating costs 2,015 Advertising and marketing 110 Leased premises 258 Staff costs1 1,266 Purchase of plant and equipment 233 Clean up costs for fire at Melbourne factory21,790 |

1 Includes $61,000 paid as director fees and salaries
-
2 We are currently pursuing legal action against our insurer to recover these costs.
We have lodged separate claims with our insurer for assets, inventories, and business interruption and anticipate receiving $1,973,000 within the next few weeks.
Refresh Waters
NSW has performed exceptionally well, registering a significant 26% increase in revenue. This can be attributed in large part to the sale of bulk distilled water, one of our most profitable products.
VIC also demonstrated strong performance, with a growth of 22% primarily driven by increased sales to Woolworths.
QLD exhibited 13% growth, which was broad-based and expected to continue.
WA recorded a 6% increase in revenue.
Refresh Waters sold its Northern Territory operation on 15 Aug 2023 to Territory Springwater Au Pty Ltd as set out above.
While the persistent increase in business costs continue to impact our bottom-line the strong sales figures reflect robust growth and a promising start to the new financial year.
Refresh Plastics
Following the fire incident at the Refresh Plastics factory, we continued to trade in plastic products, although the factory is presently not operational. We are pleased to note that many customers have returned to us, resulting in sales only slightly below pre-fire levels.

| Answer: Yes. Net cash outflow is mainly because of the cleaning costs required by EPA Victoria and Melbourne Water after the fire at our Melbourne factory.

||||
| Answer: This is not necessary as there is more than sufficient cash to cover our normal operation. |

- 8.6.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer:
Yes. Excluding the clean up cost of $1,790,000, there is a net operating cash outflow of $250,000. This is because insurance premiums amounting to $256,287 has been made for the full financial year.
