FY25 OVERVIEW
-
FY25 represented a transitional year for the Company, with a significant investment into new projects to replace reduced utilisation due to various factors outside the Company’s control.
-
A softer coal market (most notably in Qld) was the primary driver for the reduced utilisation. The coal market has remained subdued in recent times due to a variety of factors including the current royalty regime in Qld.
-
By contrast, the gold market remains strong buoyed by record gold prices . Replacement projects won in FY25 were largely within the gold sector.
-
All major FY25 expiring contracts re-won.
-
The Company will enter FY26 ex mobilisations and ramp up

DECARBONISATION:AN OPPORTUNITY IN DISGUISE WHAT’S DRIVING CHANGE?
The transition toward a clean energy future is here. This is being driven by investor demand, government regulation, and growing societal pressure. Regardless of the pace of change, the direction is all shifting towards net zero by 2050.
Loop seeks to shift the narrative – this is an opportunity in disguise. Stakeholder sentiment is linked to long-term value and social licence. Why can’t it be risk adjusted return centric?

Corporate Strategy
Global corporates are aligning decarbonisation
strategies to net zero by 2050 with interim
targets by 2030.
Safeguard Mechanism
The Safeguard Mechanism has commenced,
with operations required to reduce emissions
each year. NGERS is shifting to Method 2
across all Safeguard-covered facilities by FY26.
State Compliance
All states require a GHG management plan for
approvals and amendments, with exceptional
detail required. NSW is the most stringent, with
QLD not far behind.

FY26 STRATEGY
-
The overall strategy of the Company is to optimise the long-term growth of the business and returns to shareholders by:
-
Maintaining and, where possible, improving the profitability of the existing business
-
Continue to identify opportunities in the domestic mining sector to provide new services to Tier 1 clients (both within and beyond the traditional drilling business)
-
Identifying additional growth opportunities offshore for existing clients
-
With a strong balance sheet , the Company retains its
optionality and expects shareholder returns to recommence upon normalisation of business performance. This would most likely be via the recently renewed share buy back.
▪ Given the relative fixed nature of a large portion of the Company’s costs, the overall leverage within the business is significant upon the normalisation of utilisation and revenue.

Operational leverage within the business remains substantial, positioning the Company to benefit strongly as utilisation and activity levels normalise.
-
The business continues to prioritise safety , operational discipline , and
efficiency i mprovements, ensuring sustainable returns as new projects ramp up.
