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

The Group generated revenue and profit after tax during FY22 of $902.8M and $330.9M respectively. Revenue from continuing operations increased by 34% over the prior year, a result of strong metals prices and consistent production at the Nova Operation. Revenue from discontinued operations, being the Tropicana Gold Operation, contributed $243.3M in FY21.

An overview of key contributing factors are outlined below:

  • Revenue generated by the Nova Operation for FY22 was $900.6M, a 35% increase over the prior period of $668.8M, resulting in segment profit before tax of $456.8M.

Cash costs (including royalties) were $1.95 per payable pound of nickel, relative to $1.85 per payable pound achieved in FY21.

  • The Group also recognised its first full year’s earnings contribution from the lithium joint venture, Tianqi Lithium Energy Australia Pty Ltd, with IGO’s share of net profit after tax of $176.7M.

  • The prior year results included $431.9M profit from discontinued operations, being the Tropicana Gold Operation (Tropicana).

As noted above, Tropicana generated revenue of $243.3M in FY21.

  • The Group completed the acquisition of Western Areas Limited (Western Areas) via a scheme of arrangement on 20 June 2022 for cash consideration of $3.87 per Western Areas share, resulting in total
