ASX Announcement (ASX: ERG)

Quarterly Activity Report to 30 June 2023

Eneco Refresh Ltd (Eneco) is pleased to provide a review for the fourth quarter ending June 2023.

As part of its strategic review, Eneco has sold its factory in Darwin for $4.5 million. Eneco has no borrowings so the proceeds are reflected in the cash balance currently held, and will give us the opportunity to further grow the business.

Eneco continues to own 7.7 hectares of land in Acacia Hills, Northern Territory where our spring is located. We hold a licence to draw 23 million litres of water per annum from the spring.

Total revenue for the quarter and year-to-date by Cash Generating Units compared to the same period last financial year are as follows:

Refresh Waters

Refresh Waters sales increased by 11% in the last quarter and 11% year-to-date.

NT was the top performer last quarter with a growth of 23%. This was primarily due to increased sales from customers stocking up in anticipation of our plant shutdown when we hand over the factory.

WA did well in the last quarter with a growth of 14%. The growth has been broad based and expected to continue in the coming months.

QLD continues to grow well especially with strong sales to Woolworths.

NSW grew by 10% in the last quarter. Year-to-date, it achieved the highest growth of 22%. Our custom labelled bottled water division is growing strongly as businesses invest more in marketing and promotions.

VIC is the only CGU with decline in sales because of the loss of some business.

Refresh Plastics

A fire broke out at the main Refresh Plastics factory on 8 February 2023. We continue to trade in plastic products although the factory is currently not operational. This has affected sales.

Eneco has 2 insurance policies for which payment has been sought because of the fire.

  • a. Industrial Special Risk - this policy includes coverage for equipment, inventory, and business continuation. The insurer has granted us indemnity and we have received a first progress payment of $1 million. It is anticipated that a further few million will be claimed under this policy and we are quantifying the total loss.

  • b. Public Liability – after the fire, EPA Victoria and Melbourne Water served us notices to urgently clean up the surrounding areas. CSA Specialised Services Pty Ltd (CSA) was appointed to undertake the job and the clean-up came to $2,223,305.65 plus GST. The public liability insurer has refused to pay on the claim. We are now pursuing the claim through lawyers. In the meantime, we have agreed on a reduced amount with CSA and are in the process of settlement. It is noted that there will be no need to increase our debt exposure to finalise this.
