All data presented in this report is unaudited.

Executive Chairman’s Activities Report

Magontec Limited (ASX: MGL)

Quarterly Activities Report for the 3 months to 30 June 2021 (Unaudited)

Material Activities

In the quarter to 30 June 2021 Magontec continued to grow its overall business, with revenue up 55% over the prior corresponding period (pcp). This brought total revenues for the 6 months to 30 June 2021 to $51 million (unaudited), up 11% on the pcp.

In this first half of 2021 the company’s businesses stand in comparison with a period in which the effects of the COVID pandemic were most pronounced, while there were no significant changes to the Magontec business.

Unaudited Underlying Operating Cash* for the quarter was $1.8 million, bringing the total for the half to 30 June 2021 to $2.7 million, up 16.8% over the pcp. As at 30 June 2021, Net Debt decreased to $10.2 million (30 June 2020: $12.2 million) and the ratio of Net Debt to Net Debt + Equity was 24.8% (30 June 2020 27.9%). Lower debt levels are working capital related and largely reflect lower inventory levels in European magnesium alloy recycling.

The global Cathodic Corrosion Protection (CCP) business (magnesium and electronic anodes) continued to grow. Against PCP global Mg anode volumes shipped were up 12.9% for the half and revenues for all CCP products rose 19.6%.

In the metals business the Qinghai plant, where the coronavirus in the first quarter of 2020 was particularly impactful, experienced a recovery in volumes during the second quarter. This business continues to operate at low levels of production and without direct supply from the adjacent QSLM electrolytic smelter. The overall metals business (primary and recycled magnesium alloys plus specialist metals) recorded volumes up 92% in the quarter and 27% in the half over pcp across both the PRC and EUR.

On 6[th] August 2021 the Company will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting to consider a proposal to consolidate the shares of Magontec on a 1 for 15 basis. Shareholders are encouraged to vote on this resolution via submission of the supplied proxy voting form. Physical attendance at this meeting is discouraged due to the current COVID lockdown in Sydney. The company has made arrangements for shareholders to attend and address the meeting via a virtual meeting app. Please contact the Company Secretary at john.talbot@magontec.com if you wish to avail yourself of this option.

Executive Chairman 28 July 2021
