Trading Update
Further to the Company's announcement on 28 March 2025 regarding the trading conditions in Gabon, we are pleased to report that production has resumed as planned.
Year to date, significant volumes of wood have been repatriated under forestry concessions, with a notable increase in activity during May 2025. Production has similarly been active, reflecting increased utilization of available material.
A substantial volume of wood remains to be repatriated from the forest under current forestry concessions, aligning with the onset of the dry season, which facilitates transportation.
The entire stock of veneer held at the end of last year has now been sold. A major portion has already been shipped, delivered, and paid for, while the remainder is at the port undergoing customs processes, with shipment and payment expected shortly. Additional veneer is currently under production and is set to be exported in the near term.
Participation by management in international trade shows in Dubai and Cologne recently led to a boost in sawn timber sales, with exports completed and further contracts signed, now pending final steps in production and agreement finalization.
Several negotiations are underway for the sale of existing sawn timber stock and for future production.
Gabon's ongoing economic recovery and infrastructure development have opened new opportunities for domestic log sales. Woodbois Gabon has already secured its first local customers for this market.
Revenue for June 2025 is projected to increase based on current contracts, production levels, and both export and local sales activity.
We look forward to updating the market with more detail in due course.
