Strong Underlying EBITDA generation in FY19 was offset by one-off adjustments for non-recurring items which resulted in a Net Loss After Tax
At 31 December 2019, Ravenswood was a held for sale asset and as a result has been classified as a discontinuing operation and reported separately in the Company’s FY19 financial statements
The table combines Resolute’s financial performance from its continuing operations at Syama and Mako together with discontinuing operations at Ravenswood
The disputed tax expense relates to a dispute with Mali Tax Authorities in relation to income tax and value added tax. The factual basis and validity of the demand is strongly disputed by Resolute due to fundamental misinterpretations of the application of certain tax laws with reference to the provisions of SOMISY’s Establishment Convention. The Company does not intend to pay the demanded amounts and will resist any efforts to enforce payment. Notwithstanding the disputed nature of the payment demand, a balance sheet provision and corresponding expense of A$58m has been recognised
Note: Given the Company’s change in financial year end from June to December, the previously reported FY18 financials were for the six months to 31 December 2018. For comparative purposes, the Company has prepared the FY18 summary above which is for a previously unreported 12-month period to 31 December 2018, is not audited and is being provided for comparative purposes only.
