WA Kaolin Ltd. ( (AU:WAK) ) has provided an update.
WA Kaolin reported that its March 2026 quarter remained below optimal production, with sales of 9,787 tonnes generating $1.97 million in revenue, equating to about $194 per tonne and remaining below its production cost of roughly $258 per tonne. The sales mix is still heavily weighted toward lower-margin product for key partner Dak Tai, which contributed about 72% of revenue, while a strong order book of around 32,000 tonnes, including significant backorders, underscores demand but highlights constraints from limited plant output.
To address its strained financial position, the company has launched a debt and recapitalisation program via a partially underwritten entitlement offer that is expected to materially reduce debt and add fresh cash to the balance sheet. WA Kaolin also implemented pricing adjustments and fuel-linked surcharges to offset rising production and logistics costs, while ongoing qualification of higher-value Wickefine products in Australia, China and India is intended to diversify sales into higher-margin markets once consistent production volumes are achieved.
