For each of the past four quarters SSH has delivered positive operating cashflow, totalling \$4.5m over the 12 months.

Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 4C 24/04/2024

The SSH Group has continued to improve EBITDA with FY24 Q3 exceeding \$2.2 million resulting in a 21% EBITDA margin to revenue. EBITDA currently sits at \$5.4m YTD, and over the past 4 financial quarters SSH Group's EBITDA has totalled \$7.0m.

Revenue for the quarter was \$10.8m a 12.6% increase on the FY24 Q2 period. In the Transport Fleet, Truck, and Machinery Hire segment, the KMH and Tru Fleet brands collectively accounted for 32% of the Group's overall revenue for the quarter, an increase of 69% amount on the prior corresponding period. Utilisation of our assets has remained strong and our length of hire period from our clients has continued to increase, which has resulted in improving profitability.

The Recruitment and Workforce Management vertical has performed exceptionally well due to identifying and executing operational cost efficiencies within its operations and continuing to cross sell its service offering to the rest of the Group's customer base within the Civil and Mining market segments.

Commenting on the results, Managing Director Mr Daniel Cowley-Cooper said:

"Our team has excelled across all areas of our business, including Recruitment & Workforce Management services as well as Transport Fleet, Truck, and Machinery Hire. This strong performance in the last quarter reflects consistent financial progress across our operations. The SSH Group is dedicated to our long-term strategy, aiming for profitable growth in our core business while also exploring additional opportunities for value-driven expansion."
