FY2024 Results and Annual Report

Brisbane, Sep 18, 2024 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Central Petroleum Limited (googlechartASX:CTP) (googlechartC9J:FRA) (googlechartCNPTF:OTCMKTS) today reports a statutory net profit after tax of $12.4 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2024, including a $13.8 million profit on the sale of its interest in the Range gas project, compared to a loss of $8.0 million for FY2023.

Underlying Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation and Exploration (EBITDAX) for the year to 30 June 2024 was down 13% from FY2023 at $13.8 million, as several interruptions to the Northern Gas Pipeline throughout the year restricted production and access to higher-priced contracts and markets.

Highlights

- Central sold its 50% interest in the Range CSG Project (ATP2031) for $12.5 million, releasing capital and realising a book profit of $13.8 million.

- New gas sales agreements were secured during and subsequent to the end of the financial year, and are expected to provide higher, more reliable cash flows for Central for several years, benefitting from higher average gas prices and more consistent, firm sales that will not be affected by any Northern Gas Pipeline interruptions, should they occur.

- Positive net cash at 30 June 2024 was $0.8 million, Central's first positive net cash position in a decade.

- Gas which was pre-sold in 2020 was fully delivered by December 2023, releasing additional gas volumes for sale on usual cash terms and boosting cash flows from January 2024 onwards.
