Strongest operating half-year in company history

Net profit EUR 32.5 million/Equity up by EUR 44.6 million/Operating cash flow at EUR 62,6 million

Mannheim. According to the final, unaudited half-year figures, the Deutsche Rohstoff Group generated sales of EUR 72.2 million (previous year EUR 38.8 million), EBITDA of EUR 64.0 million (previous year EUR 39.9 million) and consolidated net income of EUR 32.5 million (previous year EUR 17.5 million) in the first half of the year. Operating cash flow from oil production in the USA and income from the investment portfolio amounted to EUR 62,6 million (previous year EUR 36.8 million).

The very good half-year result also has a positive impact on the Group’s balance sheet. Cash and cash equivalents* increased to around EUR 79.8 million as of 30 June 2022. Net debt** has fallen to EUR 54.5 million. At the end of 2021, it had still amounted to EUR 84.1 million. Equity of EUR 124.7 million is EUR 44.6 million higher than equity at 31 December 2021. The equity ratio at the half-year point was 36.9 percent (31 December 2021: 30.2 percent).

Assuming an average oil price of USD 92 per barrel from April to December 2022, the company expects sales of around EUR 140 to 150 million and EBITDA of EUR 120 to 130 million as part of this increased price scenario. If the oil price averages around USD 85 during this period, revenues of EUR 130 to 140 million and EBITDA of around EUR 110 to 120 million are expected. The full guidance is available at https://rohstoff.de/en/guidance/.

The four US-subsidiaries produced an average of 9,386 BOE per day in the first half of the year (previous year 7,801 BOE per day), for a total production of 1,689,532 BOE (previous year 1,412,019 BOE). Crude oil accounted for 930,658 barrels (previous year 660,682 barrels), with natural gas and condensates accounting for the remainder. All volumes represent the Group’s net share. Cub Creek plans to commence a drilling program in Wyoming in the fourth quarter, and in addition, the production start of the Oxy Joint Venture in Wyoming will be another operational highlight.

The share and bond portfolio, in particular the sale of a portion of Northern Oil & Gas shares, also had a positive impact on consolidated net income of EUR 6.2 million. Further income of EUR 2.2 million resulted from the development of the EUR/USD exchange rate in the first half of the year.

The half-year report of Deutsche Rohstoff will be available shortly here.

The Management Board of Deutsche Rohstoff AG will hold a Web-Call (in German) on the first half-year results on Thursday, 11 August 2022 at 10:30 a.m. Interested investors can register for the call here.

Mannheim, 10 August 2022

DigitalX reports strong balance sheet as revenue soared 305% in second half of 2021

DigitalX reports strong balance sheet as revenue soared 305% in second half of 2021

March 1, 2022 – DigitalX has just released solid half-year financial results, with revenue quadrupling as funds under management rose 73 per cent and a key acquisition started to pay dividends.

DigitalX (ASX:DCC) says it made $1.1 million in revenue in the six months to December 31, 305.5 per cent more than it did during the same period in 2020, with almost half of that coming from its funds under management division.

The company’s two digital asset funds brought in $520,982 during the half year, as funds under management grew to $33.59 million thanks to both rising prices and $3.57 million in inflows.

Overall DigitalX trimmed its loss for the period by 16.5 per cent to $847,362.

The company finished the year with $7.4 million cash at bank, plus another $60.3 million in digital assets, including $39.9 million in Bitcoin.

“Despite volatility in the digital asset markets in December 2021, the balance sheet remains strong heading into the second half of FY2022,” the company said.

Its two core products – Sell My Shares and Drawbridge, its regtech compliance software – are both well positioned as financial securities markets such as the ASX move to distributed ledger technology, DigitalX said.

‘Very pleasing’ results

“The half-yearly result is very pleasing from the company’s perspective,” said Lisa Wade, the company’s new chief executive.

“Revenues across the funds management and product development divisions were relatively even; we expect to be able to reduce our one-off costs in 2022; and importantly we have now established the foundations of our business moving forward.”

“I am particularly happy with our inaugural sustainability report and fresh ESG focus and am looking forward to sustainability being an ongoing focus – in terms of not only the delivery of shareholder returns (but) also on the impact of the value we create.”

Wade joined DigitalX just recently, the company having poached her from NAB shortly before Christmas.
