ORGANIC GROWTH STRATEGY

  • Mitchell Services is embarking on an organic growth strategy including a material capital investment program to deliver anticipated FY22 EBITDA of between $40m and $44m.

  • This investment includes the purchase of 9 LF160 drill rigs that are expected to be delivered by 31 December 2021 and includes an option for an additional 3 rigs.

  • The proposed timing allows Mitchell Services to take advantage of the cash flow benefit associated with the ATO’s instant asset write off program (in place until June 2022 with a proposed extension to June 2023).

  • It was previously Mitchell Services’ intention to sell nominated rigs to provide partial funding for this capital investment program.

  • However, given the strength of the current market and the lead times to procure additional drill rigs, Mitchell Services have opted to retain these rigs as the value to the business will be greater than the net sale proceeds.

  • Based on the anticipated size of the fleet post implementation of the growth strategy, the business would have the capacity to potentially generate $50m-$60m EBITDA and to deliver material EPS growth.

OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE THE CYCLE

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

  • Global 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 180] intentionally omitted <==

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

  • With approximately 70% of FY21 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

The outlook for drilling services demand is the strongest that we have seen since 2008

www.mitchellservices.com.au

SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO ENTRY

  • Access to funding for new mining services providers is challenging given limited lender appetite to the mining services sector.

  • Complex and highly regulated industry.

  • Increasing lead time in relation to the supply of rigs, ancillary equipment and consumables.

  • Significant level of industry consolidation.

  • Tightening labour market and ability to attract and retain a highly skilled labour force.

==> picture [208 x 313] intentionally omitted <==

Suppliers are currently experiencing a surge in global demand for drill rod while continuing to manage supply constraints as a result of Covid-19

Mitchell Services has circa 20,000 pieces of drill rod currently ordered which represents 32% of a major supplier’s total Asia Pacific drill rod availability over the next 6 months
