With the first quarter of the year being predominantly the Winter months, and associated low temperatures, this is historically our quietest and most financially challenging period of the year for water sales. It is therefore very encouraging that we have recorded a 10% increase in revenue compared to quarter 1 in FY24. This increase represents a $344k uplift in sales, which is a direct result of necessary upward price adjustments and increased market share, particularly evident in Western Australia and Queensland. Expenditure has reduced by 3% in Q1 compared to the previous Q4 FY24 period. Although manufacturing and operating costs have increased, improved controls in other areas delivered an overall positive result. Whilst the persistent increase in business costs continues to impact our bottom-line, the strong sales figures reflect robust growth and a promising start to the financial year.

Refresh Waters

WA recorded an impressive 16% increase in revenue with the main growth being in Perth metro wholesale and distribution sales coupled with expanding mine site operations in Kalgoorlie. As can be expected from our largest manufacturing site, the Perth factory also attracts the largest running costs and we are analysing these closely to identify savings wherever possible.

New South Wales has seen a 6% shrinkage in revenue compared to the previous year, most notably in bulk industrial water, however sales to major retailers have increased which has softened the overall impact. An area of scrutiny is freight, which is becoming prohibitive for growth due to costs, so this is being reviewed. We have secured a reduction in packaging costs so will see benefit from this in Q2.

VIC delivered a good sales performance with a growth of 9% year on year with major retailer sales accounting for the majority of this. The focus for the site remains actively seeking out opportunities to reduce the cost of goods; mainly packaging and freight. We have purchased further equipment to offset hire costs which will provide relief going forward.

The Darwin site in NT is experiencing increased demand for springwater to our local customer so the reported 35% drop in revenue is somewhat misleading as the FY24 result was during the final stages of the sale of the business.

QLD exhibited 19% growth, which is mainly attributed to major retailer sales however, there are a number of new customers in both Brisbane and Toowoomba that are contributing to this great result. Brisbane is the standout performer of the first quarter, and the improved internal controls that have been implemented, are coming to fruition.

Refresh Plastics

The Plastics business is now demonstrating stability and delivering consistently following an extended period of difficulty following the major fire event in FY24. The revenue increase of 17% is reflective of our increased supply of water tanks for recreational vehicles.

This announcement was authorized for release by Colin Moran, Non-Executive Chairman.
