Value Added Materials30 Apr 2026 06:38
RNS was not 100% clear but if i have read this right this is material above and beyond normal graphite flake. Would of been good to expand on this more, but if that is the case this can only be positive to bottom line.
April 2026 transactions initiated: 180 metric tonnes (MT) of one value-added product type (average 98% fixed carbon).
60 MT already settled → $91,000 revenue realised.
Remaining 120 MT at port, ready to ship imminently.
Implied realised price: $91,000 ÷ 60 MT ≈ $1,517 per MT.
Development pipeline (as of week commencing 27 April 2026): Transactions for 900 MT of various grades of value-added material across the period April to November 2026 (first ~8 months of the Company's FY2026/27, assuming a March year-end).
This pipeline covers up to four different high-value downstream products (high-purity flake, ultra-high-purity flake, expandable graphite, and colloidal graphite) expected in the first half of the financial year alone.
Estimated Potential Order Value / Turnover Contribution in FY2026/27
The RNS provides no explicit full-year revenue guidance or firm contracted order values beyond the pipeline and April example. However, using the only pricing data point given ($1,517/MT average) as a reasonable price for estimation.
Visible pipeline (Apr–Nov 2026, 900 MT):
900 MT × ~$1,517/MT ≈ $1.365 million USD potential turnover (if all transactions execute at similar pricing).
This would be additional group revenue from the new trading business.
Extrapolated full FY2026/27 (Apr 2026–Mar 2027):
The 8-month pipeline rate averages ~112.5 MT/month. Extending at the same pace for the remaining 4 months implies ~1,350 MT total for the year → ~ $2.05 million USD potential additional turnover.
Given turnover has only been that or less for past few years for graphite this is extremely positive news, but seen keen to see flake production rates and guidance for 26-27
