Despite an increase in lost time injury cases this year (43% classified as low-risk events), continued to demonstrate excellent incident prevention
-
This success was due to the effectiveness of EHS Leading Indicator Program
-
Introduced new training for continuous safety culture improvement

Against a backdrop of tight metal scrap supply, Proprietary Sales Volumes were down 24.3%
-
Trading margin up 2.2% or down 6.8% at constant currency. Challenging export market conditions were partially contained through the reduction of lower-margin sales
-
Net operating costs up 11.9% or 2.2% in constant currency, driven by higher processing costs for lowcopper shred trials
-
Inflationary pressures well managed. Labour cost increases offset by fuel and maintenance efficiencies

Outlook
-
Underlying EBIT improvement in 2H FY24
-
Cost reduction initiatives expected to deliver $25 million in savings
-
Increased domestic sales channels in the USA and uplifted unprocessed material
-
USA demand for scrap to remain robust, supporting prices
-
ANZ Metal and SA Recycling to continue delivering solid results
-
SLS momentum leading into December 2023 to continue
-
Strong competition for scrap is likely to continue
-
Geopolitical tensions remain - volatility in export demand, prices, and freight costs to continue
-
"Sticky" inflation being actively managed
Macro-trends
-
Increased demand for metal intensive infrastructure spending and the production of post consumption scrap is positive for metal recycling (both ferrous and non-ferrous).
-
Global decarbonisation of steel making, growth of EAFs and the energy transition will drive demand for recycled metal.
-
The fundamental drivers of cloud infrastructure recycling remain positive over the medium term.
-
There are risks to the materialisation of these positive drivers, particularly as it relates to global uncertainty from geopolitical risks and macro-economic factors.
