EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  • Mitchell Services Limited (“ Mitchell Services ”) is seeking to raise approximately $10.5m to assist in funding a material organic growth strategy which amongst other things will include the funding of capital expenditure to fulfil current and expected contract pipeline requirements.

  • The outlook for the business is extremely positive and a strengthened capital position will ensure Mitchell Services has the agility, flexibility and capacity to pursue the rapidly growing organic market opportunities, and allow the business to leverage:

  • its demonstrated track record of delivering growth through the cycle with a compound annual revenue growth rate of 44% since 2014;

  • the growing demand for production drilling services driven by a sustained strengthening in commodity prices; and

  • the significant barriers to entry into the drilling services sector, which will continue to drive drilling equipment and service constraints.

  • Mitchell Services is undertaking a fully underwritten $10.5m capital raising via a 1 for 8 pro-rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer at $0.42 per share (the “Offer”).

  • Mitchell Services expects to generate FY22 revenue of $200m-$220m and EBITDA of $40m-$44m.

  • Proceeds of the Offer will be used to support the funding of a sizeable organic growth opportunity which includes the acquisition of up to 12 additional drill rigs. 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^.

  • Mitchell Services has a proven track record of delivering significant year on year revenue and earnings growth.

  • Major shareholders, Mitchell Group (Nathan Mitchell) and Dream Challenge Pty Ltd (Scott Tumbridge) have committed to take up their entitlement in full under the Entitlement Offer and (in the case of Dream Challenge Pty Ltd) to sub-underwrite a portion of any potential Retail Entitlement Offer shortfall.

  • All eligible Directors and Executive Management have committed to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

  • The Offer is fully underwritten by Morgans Corporate Limited.

*Assumes anticipated levels of work from existing customers and that all existing customers renew their drilling contracts to the extent that such current contracts expire during this period. Assumes a 20% EBITDA margin and that there are no material changes in market conditions or operating environments, including no material deterioration in COVID-19 restrictions and regulations. ^Assumes that the rig fleet is operating at or near capacity, at current productivity levels and under existing contracts terms (including pricing).

ORGANIC GROWTH STRATEGY

  • Mitchell Services has a material capital investment program underway.

  • 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

LEVERAGE IN AN IMPROVING MARKET

STAGE 1: AVERAGE OPERATING RIG COUNT INCREASES

  • More rigs start working

STAGE 2: PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVES AS UTILISED RIGS WORK MORE SHIFTS

  • Seasonality impact reduces as rigs work through the wet season

  • More rigs work 24 hours a day 7 days a week versus 12 hours a day

STAGE 3: PRICE INCREASES AS SUPPLY AND DEMAND CHANGES IN FAVOUR OF SERVICE PROVIDERS

  • On average across a range of different drilling types prices are still circa 10% to 30% below those of the highs in the last cycle

STAGE 4: GENERAL CONTRACT TERMS & CONDITIONS IMPROVE

  • Larger up front mobilisation charges to manage ramp up costs

  • Larger demobilisation charges

  • Take or pay contracts

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 suppliers total Asia Pacific drill rod availability over the next 6 months

APPENDIX 3 – INVESTMENT RISKS

Investors should carefully consider the risk factors described below, in addition to the other information in this document and publicly available information of Mitchell Services, before making an investment decision. If you require further information regarding the appropriateness or potential risks of this investment, you should seek appropriate financial advice. An investment in Mitchell Services is subject to risks, both specific to Mitchell Services and more general risks. Many of these risks are beyond the control of Mitchell Services and, if they were to eventuate, may impact adversely on the performance, or value, of an investment in Mitchell Services. This summary details some of the major risks that you should be aware of when investing in Mitchell Services, however it is not intended to be exhaustive. Investors should be aware that the list of risks described below may not cover all possibilities and should also consider risks specific to their situation. Additional risk factors and uncertainties that are not known to Mitchell Services at the time of this Offer, or which are considered immaterial, may in the future materially impact Mitchell Services’ assets, financial condition or operations and may have an adverse effect on an investment in Mitchell Services.

Environmental issues, climate change and business interruptions

Mitchell Services has exposure to a number of unforeseen environmental issues natural events such as cyclones, persistent rainfall, floods and fire which are beyond its control. Liabilities may be imposed irrespective of whether or not Mitchell Services is responsible for the circumstances to which they relate. Natural events would affect Mitchell Services’ productivity and ability to engage in contract drilling for customers and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on Mitchell Services. Unstable weather conditions, extreme weather events or climate related causes , unstable service sites, regulatory intervention, delays in necessary approvals and permits or supply bottlenecks may reduce Mitchell Services’ ability to complete drilling services contracts resulting in performance delays, increased costs and loss of revenue. Mitchell Services seeks to mitigate these and other risks by securing clients in multiple geographic locations so as to minimise the impact of events such as the Queensland wet season.

Dependence on key personnel and labour shortages

Mitchell Services’ primary intellectual asset is the skill and experience of its staff. It is essential that appropriately skilled staff be available in sufficient numbers to support Mitchell Services’ operations. There is a risk that Mitchell Services may be unable to attract or retain key personnel and specialist skills and may lose corporate memory. While Mitchell Services has initiatives to mitigate this risk, including implementing special training programs, loss of key staff or failure to attract new staff may have a negative impact on the financial performance or otherwise of Mitchell Services and in particular its ability to expand its business. The loss of key staff to a competitor may magnify this impact.

Industrial Accidents

Industrial accidents may occur with respect to Mitchell Services’ business. In the event of a serious accident, for example resulting in a fatality or serious injury, or a series of such accidents on projects, substantial claims may be brought against Mitchell Services. Any such claim could result in substantial liability for Mitchell Services, which could negatively impact on growth prospects and adversely affect the financial performance and/or financial position of Mitchell Services.

Customer demand and outlook for resources industry

Mitchell Services’ business depends on, amongst other things, the level of mining activity.

Levels depend on a number of factors outside the control of Mitchell Services, including, but not limited to, continued global economic growth, continued international demand and infrastructure constraints experienced by Mitchell Services’ clients. Any prolonged decline in the demand for resources may result in a corresponding decline in the use of Mitchell Services’ services which will have an adverse effect on the financial performance and/or financial position of Mitchell Services.

Commodity prices are volatile. Industry experience indicates that when commodity prices fall below certain levels, mining expenditure and activity decline in the following 12 months. There is a risk that a significant, sustained fall in commodity prices could substantially reduce future mining activity and accordingly demand for Mitchell Services’ services.

Equipment constraints and obsolescence

Some of the specialist services provided by Mitchell Services require the use of purpose-built drilling rigs and equipment. Mitchell Services may have difficulty in gaining access to additional purpose-built rigs or equipment or adequate supplies of equipment at appropriate prices and in a timely manner or the quality of the available equipment may not be acceptable or suitable for its intended use. As technology continues to improve, the current rig fleet may require further investment to prevent obsolescence. Mitchell Services may also not be able to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand its rig fleet. Any of these factors may constrain Mitchell Services’ ability to provide services and may ultimately have an adverse effect on its growth opportunities, financial performance and/or financial position.

Concentration risk and industry downturn

Mitchell Services’ focus on drilling gives rise to some degree of concentration risk in that the prospects of Mitchell Services are largely tied to the prospects of the mining industry.

Effects of amended industrial relations laws

Any future changes to Commonwealth industrial relations laws particularly in regard to new awards may result in increased labour and compliance costs. This could impact on the ability of Mitchell Services to retain key personnel, attract new workers or replacement personnel. Any further changes to Commonwealth industrial relations laws may result in additional labour and compliance costs.

APPENDIX 3 – INVESTMENT RISKS (CONT.)

Operational risks

Mitchell Services and its customers are exposed to a range of operational risks relating to both current and future operations. Such operational risks include equipment failures, information technology system failures, external services failure, industrial action or disputes and natural disasters. Whilst Mitchell Services endeavours to take appropriate action to mitigate these operational risks and to insure against them, Mitchell Services cannot control the risks to which its customers are exposed, nor can it completely remove all possible risks relating to its own business.

Changing customer preferences regarding contractual arrangements

The majority of Mitchell Services’ contracts for the provision of services are negotiated on a variable costs relationship-based agreement. However, a small number are negotiated on a fixed-price basis. Fixed-price contracts are typically higher risk. Should customers in the future exhibit a preference for fixed-price contractual arrangements, this may have an adverse effect on the financial performance and/or financial position of Mitchell Services.

Capital and maintenance expenditure

Mitchell Services requires sufficient access to capital to fund the maintenance and replacement of its existing fleet of rigs, plant and equipment and any future expansion. Failure to obtain capital on favourable terms may hinder Mitchell Services’ ability to expand and maintain its fleet of rigs or equipment which may reduce Mitchell Services competitiveness.

Environmental incidents and claims

Mitchell Services operates in an industry where environmental issues, including inclement weather, may delay contract performance or result in complete shutdown of a project, causing a deferral or preventing receipt of anticipated revenues.

Reputation

Mitchell Services ability to retain and source new customers is heavily dependent on its reputation and current relationships with key customers. A dissatisfied customer, poor performance or litigation may result in significant damage to Mitchell Services brand and may impact on Mitchell Services’ ability to maintain existing customers or enter into new customer relationships, resulting in an adverse impact, on its financial performance and/or financial position.

Insurance risks

Mitchell Services provides drilling services to third parties, which exposes Mitchell Services to the risk of liability from non-performance. Mitchell Services contractually limits its exposure to liability, and Mitchell Services maintains public liability insurance. Mitchell Services also has Directors’ and Officers’ insurance, which it believes to be commensurate with industry standards, and adequate having regard to the business activities of Mitchell Services . Nevertheless, there remains a risk that Mitchell Services insurance coverage will be insufficient to meet a very large claim or a number of large claims or that Mitchell Services is unable to secure insurance to satisfactorily cover all anticipated risks or that the costs of insurance will increase beyond anticipated levels.

Operating costs

This is a risk of unexpected increases in variable operating costs including but not limited to labour, insurance and maintenance, which may adversely affect Mitchell Services’ operating and financial performance.

Remote locations

Mitchell Services regularly undertakes projects in remote locations. The remoteness of the location exposes Mitchell Services to an increased risk of a shortage of skilled and general labour and potentially increased costs which may or may not be able to be passed onto the customer. Mitchell Services may also be exposed to a greater risk of logistical difficulties with plant and equipment because of the remote locations of its projects.

Early mine closure

Mitchell Services typically enters into contracts for the provision of services in relation to large, individual mines, which remain in force over extended periods of time. Mitchell Services ordinarily deploys its equipment and/or personnel with a view to providing services in relation to the particular mine on a continual basis over the duration of a service contract’s life.

Future funding

While the Directors believe that Mitchell Services will have sufficient funds to fund its activities in the short term, Mitchell Services is operating in a dynamic and rapidly growing industry. If Mitchell Services does not meet its stated objectives, it may need additional debt or equity funding. Mitchell Services’ ability to raise funds from either debt or equity sources in the future depends on a number of factors, including the state of debt and equity markets, the general economic and political climate and the performance, reputation and financial strength of Mitchell Services. Possible increases in the interest rates, the cost of interest rate hedges and the level of financial covenants required by lenders may adversely impact on the operational and financial results of Mitchell Services. There can be no guarantee that such funding will be available to Mitchell Services on reasonable terms or at all. Any such failure to obtain funding on reasonable terms may result in a loss of business opportunity and excessive funding costs, including dilution to Shareholders if equity funding is pursued. Mitchell Services is obliged to adhere to covenants in its debt facilities. If Mitchell Services performance is significantly below expectations, there is a risk that it may not comply with its borrowing covenants, which may relate in it having to repay debt facilities earlier than their scheduled maturities.

Early or unforeseeable closure of a mine could result in loss of expected revenues, and additional expenses for demobilisation, maintenance and storage of equipment used at that time.

APPENDIX 3 – INVESTMENT RISKS (CONT.)

Forecast dividends

No assurances can be provided in relation to the payment of future dividends. Future determination as to the payment of dividends by Mitchell Services will be at the discretion of Mitchell Services and will depend upon the availability of profits, the operating results and financial condition of Mitchell Services, future capital requirements, covenants in relevant debt facilities, general business and financial conditions and other factors considered relevant by Mitchell Services.

Concentration of shareholding

Entities associated with the Mitchell Group are expected to hold approximately 20% of the issued shares in ~~y~~ Mitchell Services immediately following the issue of shares under the offer. Accordingly, the Mitchell Group and its associated entities will continue to be in a position to exert significant influence over the outcome of matters relating to Mitchell Services, including the election of Directors and the consideration of material Board decisions. Although the interests of Mitchell Services, the Mitchell Group and other shareholders are likely to be consistent in most cases, there may be instances where their respective interests diverge.

No assurance of liquidity or trading price

No assurances can be provided that the Shares (including the New Shares) will trade at any particular price or as to liquidity of trading or that any capital growth in Mitchell Services will translate into a higher price at which the Shares (including the New Shares) trade. The historical performance of Shares provides no guidance as to the future performance of Shares (including the New Shares).

Recognition of revenue

Mitchell Services’ performance is influenced by its ability to win new contracts for the provision of drilling services and the completion of those contracts in a timely and efficient manner. Where new and existing contracts are delayed the recognition of revenue for those contracts may be deferred to later accounting periods.

Entry of new competitors

Compliance

Mitchell Services is subject to strict regulatory and compliance arrangements under the Corporations Act and ASIC policy. Being listed on the ASX imposes various listing obligations with which Mitchell Services must comply on an ongoing basis. ASIC and ASX monitor Mitchell Services’ compliance with the Corporations Act, ASIC policy and the ASX Listing Rules. If ASIC or ASX determine that Mitchell Services has not complied with its obligations, they may take action which would adversely impact Mitchell Services .

Litigation

Litigation risks to Mitchell Services include, but are not limited to, contractual claims, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims, regulatory disputes, legal actions from special interest groups, as well as third party damage or losses resulting from drilling actions. Mitchell Services is not currently involved in any disputes and is not aware of any circumstances which could give rise to any claims or disputes.

The entry of additional competitors in the drilling services sector could result in reduced operating margins and loss of market share. Such occurrences could adversely affect Mitchell Services’ operating and financial performance.

New and existing customers

Mitchell Services’ ability to grow its business depends, to a large degree, on its ability to secure new customers and contracts. Failure to obtain new drilling contracts or non payment by existing customers may have a material adverse effect on Mitchell Services .

Regulatory environment

The sector in which Mitchell Services operates is highly regulated by the various state and federal governments. Mitchell Services must comply with the relevant regulations and, as a consequence, its ongoing operations are subject to regulatory changes. Changes to the way in which the market is regulated could adversely affect the business or financial performance of Mitchell Services by the imposition of additional capital and/or operational obligations on Mitchell Services.

APPENDIX 3 – INVESTMENT RISKS (CONT.)

Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The events relating to COVID-19 have recently resulted in unprecedented restrictions and lockdowns, including in relation to domestic and international travel and general disruption to business activities. These restrictions have been imposed by domestic and international governments and regulatory authorities, and/or implemented as a matter of best practice during the ongoing health crisis. In addition, events relating to COVID-19 have resulted in significant market falls and volatility, including the prices of securities trading on the ASX. While Mitchell Services’ has remained operational throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the events relating to COVID-19 may have a material adverse effect on, or cause a material adverse change to, Mitchel Services’ business. Given the high degree of uncertainty surrounding the extent and duration of COVID-19, it is not currently possible to assess the full impact of COVID-19 on Mitchell Services’ business. There is also continued uncertainty as to the duration and further impact of COVID-19 including (but not limited to) in relation to government, regulatory or health authority actions, work stoppages, lockdowns, quarantines, travel restrictions and the impact on global economies. There is no certainty that Mitchell Service’s business activities will normalise to a level existing prior to the impact of COVID-19 (or how long such normalisation could take). If the duration of events surrounding COVID-19 are prolonged, Mitchell Services may need to take additional measures in order to respond appropriately (for example, by raising additional funding).

Dilution risk

Investors who do not participate in the Entitlement Offer will have their investment in Mitchell Services diluted. Further, and in addition to the Entitlement Offer, Mitchell Services may issue securities to finance future acquisitions or pay down debt which may, under certain circumstances, dilute the value of shareholders’ interests in Mitchell Services and the proportional beneficial ownership in the underlying assets of Mitchell Services.

Changes in law

Changes in law, government legislation, regulation and policy in jurisdictions in which Mitchell Services operate may adversely affect the value of its portfolio and/or Mitchell Services’ future earnings and performance as well as the value of Mitchell Services’ securities quoted on the ASX.

Taxation risk

There may be tax implications arising from applications for Shares (including New Shares), the receipt of dividends (if any) and returns of capital from Mitchell Services, and on the disposal of Shares. Future tax reforms could impact on the dividends from Mitchell Services and the value of securities, possibly with retrospective effect. Investors should note that Australian tax laws are complex and constantly subject to change.

Accounting standards

The Australian Accounting Standards to which Mitchell Services adheres are set by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and are consequently outside the control of Mitchells Services and Mitchell Services’ directors. Changes to accounting standards issued by AASB or changes to the commonly held views on the application of those standards could materially and adversely affect the financial performance and position reported in Mitchell Services’ financial statements.

Equity raising and underwriting risk

Mitchell Services has entered into an underwriting agreement under which Morgans Corporate Limited has agreed to fully underwrite the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement between the parties. If certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur, the Lead Manager may terminate the Underwriting Agreement. Termination of the underwriting agreement would have an adverse impact on the proceeds raised under the Entitlement Offer and Mitchell Services sources of funding for acquisitions.

General risks

Other than the specific risks identified above, the price at which Mitchell Services’ shares trade on the ASX may be determined by a range of factors, including inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, consumer confidence levels, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, the nature of competition in the markets in which Mitchell Services’ operates, inclusion or removal from major market indices and other general operational and business risks. The market for Mitchell Services shares may also be affected by a wide variety of events and factors, including variations in Mitchell Services’ operating results, recommendations by securities analysts, and the operating and trading price performance of other comparable listed entities. A number of factors affect the performance of the stock markets, which could affect the price at which Mitchell Services’ securities trade on the ASX. Among other things, the impact of COVID-19 (or other pandemics or epidemics), geo-political instability, including international hostilities, acts of terrorism, the response to COVID-19 and travel restrictions, epidemics and pandemics such as COVID-19, movements of international and domestic stock markets, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation and inflationary expectations and overall economic conditions, economic cycles, investor sentiment, political events and levels of economic growth, both domestically and internationally as well as government taxation and other policy changes or changes in law may affect the demand for, and price of, shares in Mitchell Services. The share prices for many listed companies in Australian stock markets and in international stock markets have in recent times been subject to wide fluctuations and volatility, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences referred to above. In particular, the events relating to COVID-19 have recently resulted in significant market falls and volatility both in Australia and overseas, including in the prices of securities trading on the ASX. There is continued uncertainty as to the further impact of COVID-19 on the Australian economy and equity and debt capital markets including in relation to governmental action, work stoppages, university and school stoppages, lockdowns, quarantines, travel restrictions and the impact on the Australian economy (and international economies) and share markets globally. Any of these events and resulting fluctuations may materially adversely impact the market price of shares in Mitchell Services. It is also possible that new risks may emerge as a result of domestic or foreign markets experiencing extreme stress, or existing risks (including the impacts of COVID-19) may evolve in ways that are not currently foreseeable. The equity capital markets have in the past and may in the future be subject to significant volatility. Some of these factors could affect Mitchell Services’ share price regardless of Mitchell Services’ underlying operating performance. No assurance can be given that the New Shares will trade at or above the offer price for those shares. None of Mitchell Services, its Board or any other person guarantee the market performance of the New Shares.

Failure to raise sufficient funds under the Entitlement Offer (as a result of it not proceeding or otherwise) could materially adversely affect Mitchell Services' business, cash flow, financial performance, financial condition and share price.

The events which may trigger termination of the Underwriting Agreement include the following:

  • Mitchell Services ceases to be admitted to the official list of ASX or the Shares are suspended from trading on, or cease to be quoted on ASX or it is announced by ASX or Mitchell Services that such an event will occur (other than due to a trading halt to facilitate the Entitlement Offer);
