Red 5 announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, highlighting a merger with Silver Lake Resources completed on June 19.
The merger has fortified the company's financial standing and operational scale.
Red 5 reported gold sales amounting to 223,498 ounces, a 35% increase over the previous year.
The growth was mainly driven by a 29% increase in production from the King of the Hills operation.
The company's underlying operational EBITDA saw a 103% year-on-year rise to $225.5 million, with an EBITDA margin of 36%.
Post-merger, Red 5's balance sheet shows cash and deposits totalling $442.5 million, further strengthened by the repayment of a $92.9 million project finance facility and proceeds of $136.8 million from the sale of treasury shares.
"Our balance sheet and financial strength are sector-leading, underpinning our future growth plans," said Managing Director Luke Tonkin.
Looking forward, Red 5 has provided a sales guidance of 390,000 to 430,000 ounces of gold for FY25, with projected all-in sustaining costs of $2,250 to $2,450 per ounce.
This includes contributions from Silver Lake's operations for the entire year, enhancing Red 5's production capabilities significantly.
The company has also carried forward substantial tax losses, with $380.9 million in Australian tax losses and CAD$255 million ($278.7 million) in Canadian tax losses.
The robust financial and operational metrics post-merger are expected to position Red 5 as a major mid-tier gold producer with sustainable growth potential.
At the time of reporting, Red 5’s share price was $0.33.
