The earnings call highlighted strong performance and improvements in Greenbushes and safety indicators. However, these positives are overshadowed by significant challenges at Nova and Kwinana, including production issues, financial losses, and strategic setbacks such as the suspension of Train 2. The lack of expected dividends from TLEA also presents a cash flow concern.
Company Guidance
During the IGO Limited December Quarter Results Call, Ivan Vella, Managing Director and CEO, provided detailed guidance across several business areas. The company reported a strong quarter for its lithium business, particularly at Greenbushes, with production exceeding plans despite a slow start to the calendar year. Vella highlighted ongoing optimization and improvement work, including the CGP3 project, which is on track. At Kwinana, production improved following a shutdown, but the company has ceased activities around Train 2, impacting financials with an expected impairment. Nova faced challenges with lower nickel output due to mine grade issues and plant availability, which affected financials alongside subdued nickel prices. Sales at Greenbushes were down due to shipment timing, not demand, and the company remains optimistic about productivity improvements and sustaining recoveries. The cash position ended at $247 million, with exploration spending trending down, and IGO does not expect dividend payments from TLEA in the second half of the financial year.
Strong Greenbushes Performance
Greenbushes had another strong quarter of production, finishing the calendar year well and beating internal plans. The operation is continuing to improve with good recoveries and strong margins despite being at a low point in the cycle.
Safety Improvements
Progress in safety maturity is noted, with leading indicators starting to show improvement, marking a positive trend for future operational safety.
