Excelsior Capital Limited

2020 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Outlook and Priorities

CMI Electrical Operations

  • Australian Government has committed large stimulus budget allocations to the infrastructure, mining and publics works programs all of which may have a positive impact on CMI.

  • To take advantage of large government infrastructure spending and increased mining activity two new products KV11 and KV22 to be completed and ready for sale by Q2 FY21. These plugs have a broader customer base and used in multiple overground applications including rail and road tunnelling, industrial construction and open-pit mines.

  • Minto sales have commenced FY21 strongly with new customers in Indonesia and mines in Mongolia being brought back online. Minto sales are expected to be stronger in FY21.

  • The advent of Covid-19 effected some of CMI competitors resulting in an increase in our customer base as CMI was able to continue supply of product during periods where restrictions impacted CMI’s competitors.

Listed Investment Portfolio

  • After a period of market volatility and uncertainty the investment fund is positioned well to take advantage of selective investments according to its mandate.

  • Fund will continue to diversify across sectors and investments types in selective listed and unlisted investments as well as interest and dividend earning investments.

Mining Sector Outlook

==> picture [211 x 175] intentionally omitted <==

The top miners both domestically and internationally have weathered Covid19 storm relatively unscathed and much better than most other sectors due to automation and technology.

A paper by PwC showed that mine operations and production had little or no material interruptions.

Excelsior sales of couplers and glands in particular are closely aligned to the mining and infrastructure sectors both of which are well positioned for growth. It’s mining customers are mostly thermal and metallurgical coal, copper and gold miners operating underground. However with the completion of its new hybrid couplers in Q2 FY21 the Company is positioned well to broaden its market into the open-cut miners.
