OVERVIEW

  • The TEK pre-tax NTA as at 31 August 2024 was stable compared to 31 July 2024, though it out-performed the S&P Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index by over 2% for the month. During the month, positive performance from listed positions, CU6, 360, TGH and DUG were offset by some declines in AVH, BEO, NXS and CXL.

  • TEK finalised its Appendix 4E and 2024 Annual Report on 28 August 2024.

CHAIRMAN’S COMMENTS

“The conclusion of the FY2024 reporting period saw many of the TEK portfolio investment positions report results which confirmed our underlying belief in their long-term intrinsic value.

TEK continues to employ the same investment philosophy which has been successfully executed by the Thorney Group over many years. This approach has seen TEK increase its level of influence across multiple portfolio positions and importantly, act as a catalyst for effective change. This influence has included efforts to change company leadership, refine corporate strategy and the anchoring of capital raisings. Some examples of where TEK has played this role include: CCR, DUB, SPA, DOC, BEO and QFE.

Whilst the intrinsic value in these portfolio positions has not yet manifest, we remain confident that the value will accrue over time.

TEK continues to be active with its on-market share buyback, and, combined with the newly introduced high watermark, is working towards eliminating the persistent share price to NTA discount.
