FY22 Highlights
-
Operating performance remained robust and within guidance following the integration of SMC, despite multiple instances of unseasonal wet weather and tight labour market conditions
-
Record dragline performance at South Walker Creek, high levels of productivity and incremental tonnes mined at Poitrel, and the transition of mining to Isaac Downs resulting in record annual ROM production for the Isaac Plains Complex
-
Synergies realised within the first 8-months of SMC ownership, including the processing of 200kt of Isaac Downs ROM production at the nearby Poitrel CHPP
-
Continued pressure on input costs driven by global inflationary environment and labour constraints, noting the FOB Cash Cost, which is predominantly incurred in AUD, is subject to changes in the relative strength to the quotation currency of USD
-
Note: All figures presented on a 100%, fully consolidated basis excluding Millennium joint venture and SMC figures from 3 May, 2022 onwards

South Walker Creek
Stable production maintained with significant capital commitments made to support organic growth
-
Acquired as a part of the 80% acquisition of SMC on May 3, 2022, and ownership later consolidated to 100% on October 7, 2022
-
Highest annual coal mining, waste stripping and dragline performance on record for the history of the mine
-
Continued challenges with unseasonal wet weather during the second half, offset by robust dragline performance to meet the upper bound of H2 22 saleable production guidance
-
The Mulgrave Resource Area 2C (MRA2C) approved, with capital expenditure to commence in FY23; the fully permitted project provides access to lower strip ratio and higher yielding/quality ROM volumes
-
7[th] fleet approved and commissioned to support pre-stripping ahead of the scheduled dragline conversion to AC in FY24, and a bottle-necked CHPP, supporting steady state production, albeit at slightly higher unit costs
-
Healthy ROM and in-pit coal inventories at year-end provided a strong position for early 2023 wet weather events.
-
Vast optionality to explore competitive value improvement and expansion opportunities to provide incremental volume increase and/or manage continued pressure on input costs
-

Poitrel
Above run-rate production from strong operational productivity and opportunistic mining of incremental volumes
-
Acquired as a part of the 80% acquisition of SMC on May 3, 2022, and ownership later consolidated to 100% on October 7, 2022
-
Multiple monthly records set following the initial acquisition, including record stripping, coal mining and shipping in June, August and November 2022 respectively
-
Commenced the mining and processing of two seams (Vermont 2/3 (V23) and Vermont Lower) at very low incremental strip ratios and without delay to in-pit sequencing, to benefit from available capacity at the CHPP
-
Global inflationary cost pressures continued to have a marginally higher impact to the cost of consumables, such as diesel, explosives, parts, electricity and labour, with impact to full year FOB cash cost offset by strong production and sales run-rate, as well as continued optimisation of the mine’s operating model and supplier base
-
Additional excavator fleet commissioned to maintain production whilst the northern section of the mine (Ramp 10) is transitioned via a box-cut across a fault over the next 24 months, which will be capitalised for accounting purposes
-
Key operational synergies realised, including the processing of 200kt of feed coal from the Isaac Plains Complex

-
Substantial rehabilitation was completed during the year, including 212 hectares at Isaac Plains East and 48 hectares between Isaac Plains and Isaac Downs
-
Record annual ROM production was achieved despite multiple instances of unseasonal wet weather, which were partly offset by the introduction of an additional fleet in 4Q 22
-
A record monthly CHPP throughput of 356k was achieved in December following upgrades completed in November to upgrade feed rate from 500 tonnes per hour to 600 tonnes per hour
-

FY22 Highlights
- Total revenue reflective of the strong metallurgical coal market conditions observed through-out FY22, with the average achieved sales price increasing by US$159 per tonne year on year
- Together with the addition of saleable production from the lowcost SMC assets, the Group has delivered record margins and Underlying EBITDA of over five times the closing FY21 market capitalisation
- Underlying EBITDA has been adjusted to remove US$336 million of Non-Operating Adjustments[1] , primarily related to an inventory revaluation adjustment required for accounting purposes as a part of the 80% acquisition
- Earnings per share increased by 81.3 USD cps year-on-year, notwithstanding the issuance of an additional ~631 million shares
- Note: 1. Non-Operating Adjustments includes: inventory adjustment totalling US$227.4 million based on net realisation value as at May 3, 2022 (at elevated coal prices); and once off transition costs associated with the acquisitions, totalling US$108.3 million, such as government stamp duty, due diligence, advisory, transition and integration costs.

FY22 Highlights
-
Cash generation during a period of record coal prices supporting modest closing net debt[1] position of US$183 million, despite US$795 million in debt drawdowns to support SMC acquisition related payments
-
Stanmore maximised its opportunities to deleverage the balance sheet, including the repayment and cancellation of the US$50 million bridge facility and ~US$190 million in voluntary repayments of general revolving credit facilities
-
Total closing liquidity of US$656 million, comprised of US$432 million in cash (before cash flow sweep) and US$224 million in available debt facilities
-
First annual cash flow sweep of US$252 million paid in February 2023, which together with the remaining debt repayments has eliminated 54% of the Group’s FY22 peak debt
-
Overall balance sheet resilience established to provide a strong platform heading into FY23

FY22 Dividend Determination
No final dividend declared for FY22 to assist with further strengthening on the balance sheet
==> picture [126 x 45] intentionally omitted <==
Current Dividend Policy
Stanmore will target distributing 50% of available free cash of the parent entity defined as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditure and debt servicing (including interest and principal repayments) of the consolidated group and after allowing for sufficient liquidity required by the business. The Board will also consider additional shareholder returns in circumstances where surplus free cash is available. All dividend payments remain at the discretion of the board

-
The Board has made the decision not to declare a dividend at this time following careful consideration of its current dividend policy
-
Free cash flow from operations, net of capital expenditure totalled US$1,064 million in FY22. This cash flow was put to work in funding the acquisition of SMC from BHP and Mitsui (net cashflows including proceeds from debt and equity raises of US$405 million) and in debt servicing[1] activities (US$302 million)
-
Retaining cash for the acquisition financing cash sweep paid in February 2023 (US$252 million), free cash flow after debt service of US$105 million is available in relation to 2022 to fund a potential dividend
-
Notwithstanding this, the Board considers retaining this cash within the business is appropriate at this time to assist with strengthening the balance sheet after a period of busy M&A and rapid deleveraging

Metallurgical Coal Markets and Outlook
Market conditions underpinned by significant global events driving demand during ongoing supply constraints
==> picture [126 x 45] intentionally omitted <==
FY22 in Review
-
Metallurgical coal pricing continued to perform strongly through 2022, albeit with a high level of volatility with a range of US$190 per tonne to US$670 per tonne for Premium Low Vol HCC FOB Australia
-
1H 22 metallurgical coal pricing was well supported from demand side from recovery post COVID and elevated steel pricing
-
With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, supply from the second largest seaborne exporter of PCI became uncertain through policy restrictions, resulting in a strengthening of PCI relativities
-
For the final quarter of 2022, supply performance from multiple key exporting countries continued to underperform, supporting metallurgical coal pricing
-
Throughout 2022, energy pricing provided strong support to metallurgical coal prices, with an arbitrage open for a significant amount of time enticing marginal coals to switch into thermal markets
Outlook and Guidance
-
Australian supply performance should recover and as the wet season risk abates through 2Q 23, potentially resulting in some price normalisation after the supply driven headwinds in early 2023
-
The reopening of the Chinese economy presents a potential upside to demand for seaborne metallurgical coal, subject to the supply and pricing of domestic metallurgical coal, recovery of domestic construction/real estate sector and the global growth outlook
-
Steel demand expected to remain prone to downstream supply chain disruption or subdued end user demand as a result of global inflationary pressures and weakening economic conditions in some regions
-
Installation of blast furnaces continues, primarily in South East Asia and India, supporting a net increase in seaborne demand for metallurgical coal in the long term
-
Due to GEAR Transactions[1] , which regulates any forecast statements released by the GEAR group (which Stanmore is a part of), Stanmore will not be providing earnings guidance at this time
