Maintenance Capex typically trends in line with

1H2021 maintenance capex represents
approximately 45% of 1H2021 depreciation
implying expected increase in 2H2021
maintenance capex.

Growth Capex relates to new rigs to service new or
extended contracts.

Growth Capex in 1H2021 includes the
commissioning of a next generation large diameter
surface rig as part of a broader upgrade and
innovation program.

Will receive the benefit of the Federal Government
Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme on approximately
all Capex through to 30 June 2022.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

  • Significant increase in demand in the gold and base metals sectors with a positive long-term industry outlook.

  • Government stimulus and subsequent investment into infrastructure and other projects will drive demand for copper and other base metals.

  • In a world where reserves and grades of some commodities are reducing Australia is seen as a high quality, low risk jurisdiction in which to operate.

==> picture [330 x 90] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [330 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

  • Increase in new projects and exploration programs due to significantly increased level of capital raising during 2020 and 2021.

  • With approximately 70% of 1H2021 revenue derived from the gold and base metal sectors, the Company is well placed to take advantage of any further uplift in these markets.

“We believe that the last supercycle peaked in 2008 (after 12 years of expansion), bottomed in 2020 (after a 12-year contraction) and that we likely entered an upswing phase of a new commodity supercycle”

JP Morgan macro and quantitative strategist Marko Kolanovic

Market conditions are the strongest we have seen since 2008

OUTLOOK

  • Pipeline of identified opportunities remains strong as does the demand for drilling services particularly from Tier 1 clients.

  • Demand for drilling services in gold is very strong and gold as a percentage of revenue has increased in FY2021.

  • Based on current market conditions, commodity prices, current contracts, and strong opportunity pipeline, Mitchell Services expects opportunities to exceed available rigs.

  • Mitchell Services expects to generate full year FY2021 revenue and underlying EBITDA of $190m-$200m and $38-$42m respectively.

  • These guided revenue and underlying EBITDA levels consider expected utilisation levels from existing contracts subject to normal operating conditions.

  • Mitchell Services is covered by Morgans.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

==> picture [295 x 394] intentionally omitted <==

  • The $7.3m impairment of trade receivables has created uncertainty in regard to the capital management strategy.

  • A final decision on potential dividends and share buy backs in the short term will be made once this uncertainty is resolved.

  • Debt reduction will continue to be a focus however we will take advantage of a strong drilling market, increase in demand and accelerated asset innovation program.

  • It is the intention of members of board and management to purchase shares in MSV in the short term.
