Strong increase in Q1 cash receipts supports growth investment
-
Q1 FY21 cash receipts reached $10.02m, up 31.3% up vs Q1 FY20
-
Revenue growth is on comparable momentum and reached $20m+ for the 6-months ending 30 June 2020
-
Operating net cash outflow for the quarter of $(0.02)m is a direct result of inventory build-up to meet our committed sales in FY21
-
JC Tanloden continues to benefit from the Raywood facility with output up 45% to 12KT (vs Q1FY20).
-
JC Tanloden’s output is expected to continue in Q2 FY21 before the new harvest season in Q3 and Q4, where we are expecting a stronger harvest season based on current rainfall in Victoria
-
Austco Polar Cold Storage has seen a drop in blast volume by 16% to 410K (vs Q1FY20) due to the global economic impact of COVID-19 as well as re-stocking of lamb/cattle post the draught, but we are expecting a good season ahead in Victoria
-
Appointment of David Christie as a Non-executive Director, and resignation of Mark Hardgrave
We have clear visibility on several exciting opportunities to enhance Wingara AG’s organic growth trajectory and leverage the agricultural infrastructure platform we have built.

Wingara’s diversified asset investment model produced a solid Q1 FY21 result

YoY quarterly revenue growth, and the redeployment of profits from the sale and lease back of Austco Polar, allowed hay inventory volume to increase 81% (vs Q1 FY20) to meet demand
-
Business planning and hay accumulation contracting for next harvest season (October to February) is well underway with the objective to improve capacity utilisation from the current 50% to 70-75% based on 110,000 MT processing capacity
-
Victoria is showing positive signs of a strong lamb season post re-stocking and we are working with key clients to plan for the coming season

Q1 FY21 performance
-
Focus for Q1 FY21 was consistency as well as re-stocking of inventory anticipating potential COVID-19 related logistic interruptions
-
JC Tanloden’s output was slightly affected by changing / delay in ship liners’ scheduling due to COVID-19
-
Overall export demand is solid, with China in particular showing signs of recovery post its economy re-opening after COVID-19
-
Historically, Q1 ending June for Austco Polar sees less volume from the peak in Q3 due to the slowdown in lamb exports. Nonetheless, volume was affected by COVID-19 in key global markets
-
With the closure of various processing facilities in Victoria due to COVID-19, Q2 FY21 is expected to have similar blast volumes

WNR’s markets
JC Tanloden and Austco Polar form key parts of the Australian agriculture industry’s supply chain and export capabilities for protein and fodder products – both which have grown significantly over the past 5 years
Australian Protein Exports
-
Export markets for proteins & fodder : $13 billion annually (from $9 billion 5 years ago)
-
Oaten hay demand from China: 1.5 – 2 million MT per annum (accelerating in the past 5 years and cannot be met in Australia alone)
-
Australia’s brand strength has increased share of production for fodder: Product traceability, quality and lack of contamination underpin the favourable reputation of Australian agricultural exports leading to major export expansion.
-
Oaten hay is a desirable export product: Australian producers primarily export oaten hay, which improves milk production. Oaten hay has high demand worldwide as a reliable, high quality fodder that meets stringent animal production requirements.
