DEBT REDUCTION AND NEW GROWTH FINANCING FACILITY

As part of the Group's ongoing capital management plan, the Company delivered a significant debt reduction, reflecting its commitment to managing its operating leverage and strengthening its balance sheet. As announced on 29 October 2024, over the six months from 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2024, SSH successfully reduced the Group's total debt by $3.8 million, or 12%.

Of this reduction, $3.3 million relates to equipment finance debt, with the remaining $0.5 million attributed to other finance facilities and accounts. As of 30 September 2024, 93% of the Group's financed liabilities are connected to operating assets within the Mining and Civil sector, all of which are asset-backed and insured.

During the quarter, the SSH Group was pleased to advise that it had paid out early the remaining $1,380,400 balance of a term loan initially established for the acquisition of Karratha Machinery Hire (KMH) in May 2022.

SSH Group has partnered with ScotPac Business Finance to facilitate a restructure of the Company's working capital funding arrangements. The restructure allows the SSH Group to better support significant future growth opportunities and provide financial flexibility across the group of companies.

OPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE QUARTER

SSH Group is continuing to pursue growth in the mining sector with both existing Tier 1 mines and development projects. SSH Group has continued its focus on creating value accretive project partnerships and bespoke service offerings for mid-tier and junior minors.

SSH Group's Equipment and Workforce Solutions verticals have performed exceptionally well, working together to cross sell their service offerings to the Group's customer base within the Mining and Civil market segments.

SSH Group's operating subsidiaries currently providing equipment and workforce solutions are beginning to pivot the Group towards becoming a "Turnkey Mining and Civil Resource Provider", with an emphasis on Equipment Rental and Transport, Maintenance, and Personnel.

SSH Group management is evaluating potential efficiency creation across the four trading subsidiaries and a strategic pivot to a one team approach.
