The major factors contributing to the above variances are as follows:

The Group generated revenue and profit after tax from continuing operations during FY21 of A$671.7 million and A$116.8 million respectively, an increase over the prior year primarily due to higher realised metal prices for the year.

In addition to the results noted above, the Group also generated revenue and profit after tax from discontinued operations (the Tropicana Operation) during FY21 of A$243.3M and A$431.9M respectively. This profit from discontinued operations in FY21 includes an after tax gain on the sale of the Company’s 30% interest in the Operation on 31 May 2021 of A$384.8M and an after tax profit from the Operation of A$47.1M.

An overview of key contributing factors are outlined below:

  • Revenue generated by the Nova Operation for FY21 was A$668.8 million, a 13% increase over the prior period of A$593.3 million, resulting in segment profit before tax of A$262.9 million. The revenue was derived from sales of payable metal of 22,051 tonnes of nickel, 10,752 tonnes of copper and 454 tonnes of cobalt at average realised prices of A$21,986/t, A$10,974/t and A$52,057/t respectively.

  • Cash costs (including royalties) were A$1.85 per payable pound of nickel, a significant improvement over the prior period of A$2.41 per payable pound, a result attributable largely to higher copper and cobalt prices achieved in FY21.

  • The Tropicana Operation contributed A$67.3 million in segment profit before tax to the date of its sale on 31 May 2021, a decrease of 32% over the previous period’s result of A$98.3 million. This reduction was a result of lower production and gold sales, partially offset by higher gold prices of A$2,192 per ounce,
