• Whitehaven's profits slump 86% YoY in H1 FY24

    sxcoal.com General,  Company,  Cost & Profit,  International 2024-02-18 16:35:46

    Australian miner Whitehaven Coal Ltd. experienced a sharp year-on-year decline of 86% in its net profit after tax to A$257.6 million (around $167 million) during the first half of FY2024 (July-December 2023), showed a company statement on February 15.

     

    The company's revenue also witnessed a 58% decrease from the previous year to A$1.58 billion during the given period. This drop was influenced by lower thermal coal prices, acquisition-related expenses, and the depletion of reserves at the Werris Creek mine.

     

    The integration of the forthcoming Blackwater and Daunia acquisitions is a crucial step in the company's transformation into a prominent metallurgical coal producer.

     

    Whitehaven Coal plans to shift its revenue structure, with expectations of 70% of revenue coming from metallurgical coal and 30% from thermal coal (currently 10% and 90%, respectively).

     

    Despite the decline in profits, the company maintains a robust financial position, possessing a net cash reserve of A$1.5 billion and having access to a credit facility of $1.1 billion.

     

    Looking ahead, Whitehaven Coal maintained its production guidance unchanged at 18.7-20.7 million tonnes for FY2024 and managed sales are predicted to be 16.0-17.5 million tonnes.

     

    The company expects to generate its first revenue from the Vickery thermal coal mine later in 2024, offsetting the closure of the Werris Creek mine.
