Q1, Financial Year 2019 Highlights

  • 152% increase in Customer receipts, $6.059m (Previous Qtr $2.406m)

16 July 2018

Operations

The Epsom site incurred additional overheads in the June 2018 quarter with significant investment in staff training and development in preparation to deploy readily-trained staff to the Raywood facility once operations commence. In addition, approximately $0.5m one off expenses were incurred in the June 2018 quarter in relation to the project development activities. While undertaking our expansion program we have also been actively managing our capital structure by reducing $2.36m debt.

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure for the March 2018 quarter totalled $18.650m for the settlement of Austco Polar and the hay business. Civil and construction works are ahead of schedule with the inventory and processing sheds completed for Raywood. Commissioning is expected in late August 2018 with initial production expected to commence in the September 2018 quarter. Wingara remains on track to achieve its production forecast of 70,000MT by 31[st] March 2019.

Austco acquisition

On 16 April 2018, Wingara completed the acquisition of Austco Polar Cold Storage. The acquisition represents a new stable income stream which will diversify the Group’s earnings base, significantly enhance the Group’s exposure to the ever increasing export of high-quality Australian meat products. The integration of the acquisition is complete and Austco has already started to generate positive cashflows for the Group. Wingara Group has established a proven track record of executing strategic expansion and product diversification while delivering increasing income returns.

The Appendix 4C follows.
