Appendix 4C March Quarter 2018

Range International Limited ('Range International' or 'Company'), manufacturer of Re>Pal™ recycled plastic pallets, presents its Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 March 2018.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Sales of $564k for the quarter, representing the best quarter to date
  • Revenue per kilogram of raw material increased to highest level yet which highlights operational efficiencies
  • New board with active involvement in the business and a fresh perspective
  • Head count across all areas of the business reduced by 50%
  • Plastic raw material costs have reduced by 37% due to improved focus on this key ingredient
  • Electricity costs have been lowered
  • Operational and design efficiencies continue to optimise pallet weight per application to maximise margin while delivering optimal client satisfaction
  • New Indonesian Sales Manager with strong logistics experience commenced in March, 2018
  • Retention of Philippines Sales Manager with strong pipeline
  • Strong pipeline of sales opportunities

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

The business achieved its best sales quarter to date and is continuing to see growth with repeat customers starting to form a strong backbone for the Company.

Sales are now focused in Indonesia and the Philippines

A new mould for the Philippines will be ready for testing in this quarter and trial shipments to new customers are expected to start in June.

The Company and its equipment suppliers continue to work together to resolve the remaining operational issues, however this is no longer critical to the success of the Company due to the availability of good stock material

The Company has reduced the electricity costs by installing capacitor banks and more efficient use of the extruders.

FINANCIALS

Sales for the quarter totalled $564k, representing the best quarter to date.

Closing cash on hand at 31 March 2018 was $6.6m.

During the quarter, the Company has significantly reduced the operating costs of the business, particularly around staff costs and raw material costs. We strive to drive operating costs down further and will see the benefit in the next quarter. As a result, the board has extended the Company's cash runway beyond the first quarter of 2019 and based on current sales targets being met does not see a requirement for additional capital funding.

OUTLOOK

The results of the strategic overhaul of the business has provided a platform for growth and our focus is firmly on sales performance. Recruitment of new sales staff in Indonesia will continue into the June quarter to increase our reach of potential customers and extend and expand our relationships with existing clients.
