SINGAPORE, Mar 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Wintermar’s Operating Profit jumped by 101.5%YOY to US$17.8 million on the back of a 13.5%YOY increase in Total Revenue to US$82.4million, from higher charter rates and a better fleet mix of DP (Dynamic Positioning) vessels.Owned Vessel DivisionOwned Vessel Revenue rose by 28.9%YOY to US$62.1million for FY2024 from US$48.2million in FY2023. This was driven by a larger number of DP vessels in the fleet which pushed the average charter rates for 2024 up by 26% as compared to the average charter rate in 2023. These factors contributed to a 106.2%YOY jump in Gross Profit from Owned Vessels to US$22.4million for FY2024 with vessel utilization in 2024 at 66%, slightly lower than 68% for 2023.Owned Vessel gross margin has increased to 36.1% in FY2024 as compared to 22.6% in FY2023, reflecting a strong increase in charter rates as well as a better fleet exposure to the DP segment. Our 5150BHP to 8000BHP AHTS as well as PSVs experienced a higher charter rate boost than the rest of the fleet due to rising demand for deeper water drilling projects, which require DP capability.Vessel utilization fell in 4Q2024 to 63% compared to 67% in 3Q2024. Some vessels completed spot contracts while the monsoon season in Brunei also impacted utilization. These vessels underwent maintenance and will start operations again in mid 1Q2025. The additional PSV which was delivered in October 2024 did not commence operations until January 2025. Chartering Division and Other ServicesGross Profit from Chartering rose by 28.7%YOY to US$1.4million, despite slightly lower revenue of US$13.7million, reflecting improved margins. Gross Profit from Other Services recorded a decline of 16.7%YOY to US$2.6million upon the completion of a contract. Total Revenue for FY2024 rose 13.5% YOY to US$82.4 million with Total Gross Profit of US$26.4 million (+75.5%YOY) for FY2024 as compared to Total Revenue of US$72.6 million and Total Gross Profit of US$15.0 million in FY2023.Direct Expenses and Gross ProfitOwned Vessel Direct expenses rose by 6.4% YOY to US$39.7million, largely from higher maintenance costs, which rose by US$7.5million (+21.8%YOY), in additional to higher crewing costs of US$10.3million (+10.5%YOY).The higher maintenance and crewing costs are aligned with operating a fleet of higher value vessels and a larger proportion of operations outside of Indonesia. Depreciation costs rose by 5.4%YOY to US$13.4million as the number of operational vessels increased. Bunker costs rose by 7.2%YOY to US$3.3million due to higher oil prices and a larger number of vessels mobilized in and out of Indonesia.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitIndirect Expenses rose by 38.5%YOY to US$8.6million, with Staff Salary contributing US$1million to the increase, reflecting a focus on strengthening the operations, technical and IT teams to manage a higher value fleet, as well as the payment of employee bonuses in line with the strong operational performance. As the Company now participates in more international tenders, there has been an increase in marketing expenses by 164.8%YOY to US$0.66million.Operating margins jumped to 21.6% for FY2024 compared to 12.2% in 2023, as Operating Profit doubled to US$17.8million for FY2024, reflecting the impact of operational gearing on the Company’s profitability as charter rates begin to rise.Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable ProfitInterest Expenses and financial charges fell by 4.2%YOY to US$1.2million while interest income rose by 582%YOY to US$0.46million, as the Company continued to accumulate cash flow and pay down debt. Equity in net earnings of associates jumped to US$2.4million for FY2024 from US$0.55million in FY2023, with strong contribution from associated companies with OSV operations which also benefitted from the strong industry upturn.The sale of fixed assets contributed a one-off gain of US$16.1million, largely from the sale of an older PSV in the first half of 2024. Due to the strengthening of the A, the Company recorded a FX loss of US$0.47million mainly from Rupiah denominated trade receivables.Non-controlling interest was significantly higher at US$9.8million compared to a small loss of US$0.04million in FY2023. The largest contributor to this was from the gain on sale of fixed asset as well as the stronger earnings from the PSV business which is 51% controlled by Wintermar.Net Attributable Profit to shareholders for FY2024 was US$22.5million, a significant jump of 237% compared to US$6.7million in FY2023. Excluding the gain on sale of Vessel, the underlying core profit increased by 126.5%YOY to US$15.1million compared to US$6.6 million in FY2023.FY2024 EBITDA increased by 44.8% YOY to US$31.5million.Industry OutlookThe recent months have been characterized by rising global uncertainty arising from dramatic policy changes in the US, the prospect of tariff wars and the fragile ceasefire in Gaza. These upheavals have not derailed the underlying momentum in the upstream investment cycle, which seems to still be unfolding as major oil companies have started to roll back renewable energy projects in favour of investing in oil and gas. The oil price has corrected from previous highs but is forecasted to stay firm in the next couple of years from OPEC+ intervention.In Indonesia, the government remains committed to the various major deepwater projects which have received investment approval in the past 12 months. SE Asian charter rates corrected slightly at the end of 2024 after a very sharp spike up in the past 12 months. However, there are several Engineering Procurement (EPCI) projects which require OSV for short-term projects, which accounts for a more volatile utilization of the OSV fleet. Business ProspectsDespite a slower 4Q2024, we are still optimistic on the outlook for OSVs in Indonesia as there are several approved deepwater drilling projects particularly in the Makassar strait and the Andaman sea which are likely to commence in 2H2025 to 2026. Some EPCI contracts have been awarded and tendering for the marine spread is ongoing for 2H2025 commencement. All this points to continued short term contracts, by virtue of where we are at this early stage of the drilling cycle, and we expect continued volatility in utilization rates while charter rates should remain firm.Wintermar took delivery of 3 units of newbuilt Heavy Load Barges (HLB) between December 2024 to February 2025. The vessels are in the process of conversion to Indonesian flag and will be ready to work by 2Q2025. In addition, the Company has ordered a newbuilt Platform Supply Vessel for delivery in 2026, which will enhance the DP capability of the fleet and reduce average age of the fleet. These acquisitions have been funded through internal cash flow and will be refinanced upon delivery. In 2H2025, another reactivated PSV is expected to be operational, adding to our capacity for 2025.Contracts on hand as at end February 2025 amounted to US$66million.

Bangladeshi nationals comprise a significant number of the migrant workers in Singapore. This year’s Iftar that we sponsored in Singapore underscores our efforts to give back.”“I am touched that young students from the two schools have expressed their appreciation to the migrant worker community in Singapore,” he added.Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan, PBM, a Singaporean of Bangladeshi origin, was awarded the Public Service Medal (COVID-19) in October 2023 for engaging and helping Bangladeshi workers who were isolated in local dormitories during the pandemic.Ms Patricia Amorim and Ms Marieke Bink, teachers at GESS, said, “We were thrilled to have collaborated with students of Big Heart for a meaningful card-making activity, bringing together our Grade 6-8 students with younger brothers and sisters from Big Heart to create heartfelt messages for migrant workers. This event not only fostered creativity but also facilitated genuine interactions between the students as they shared stories and ideas. The cards produced are a beautiful testament to their teamwork and compassion, showcasing the power of community and the importance of supporting those who contribute so much to our society.”Shaina, a representative of Big Heart Student Care, said, “We are delighted to partner with the German European School Singapore for a meaningful initiative aimed at giving back to the community. Last Friday, students gathered to create heartfelt cards for migrant workers, expressing gratitude and appreciation for their vital contributions to Singapore’s growth and development. This significant event not only instilled a deep sense of gratitude in the students but also helped foster new friendships and lasting memories.

Key Findings:KOCH DLE Process achieves an average lithium recovery rate of 98%Key brine contaminants average rejection greater than 99%, resulting in low purification production costsIndustry leading Lithium Chloride concentration attainedLi:TDS ratio of up to 0.129, averaging 0.126, significantly above the target Li:TDS of 0.08, expected to lower the cost with less evaporation during the EV battery grade purification process43,500 gallons (165,000 litres) of high purity lithium chloride was produced that meet or exceeded the specifications required by downstream processorsNEWPORT BEACH, CA, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Anson Resources Limited (ASX:ASN) ("Anson" or the "Company"), through its 100% owned subsidiary in the USA, A1 Lithium Inc (A1 Lithium) is pleased to announce that successful completion of the pilot program with KOCH Technology Solutions ("KTS"). The program successfully delivered all technical requirements, producing high concentration and high purity lithium chloride eluate at the onsite Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") unit from freshly extracted lithium rich brine at its Green River Lithium Project, in south-eastern Utah, USA.The KTS DLE Process achieved an average lithium recovery rate of 98% and the rejection rates of contaminants exceeded 99%. In addition the Li:TDS averaged 0.125 significantly exceeding the industry standard Li:TDS ratio required for downstream processing of 0.08 by 57%. This will result in lower processing costs of the lithium carbonate that the company plans to produce.Based upon these results KTS will provide to Anson/A1 Lithium "process guarantees" for a commercial scale plant of 10,000 tons per annum of lithium carbonate.The KTS DLE plant successfully produced 43,500 gallons (165,000 litres) of high-quality eluate at the Green River, Utah, USA site, which is stored and now available for downstream processing.Superior Containment Rejection and RecoveryThe KTS DLE process test work achieved an average lithium recovery rate of 98% and a high rejection rate of the key impurities meeting or exceeding all targets. Where the DLE step rejects a higher percentage of impurities, the resulting lithium chloride solution, which is to become lithium carbonate electric vehicle (EV) grade of 99.95% purity, can be converted more efficiently. The level of rejection in the preliminary results, of the key impurities from the KTS DLE process during an optimized configuration and operation parameter were:Executive CommentaryAnson's Executive Chairman & CEO, Mr. Bruce Richardson commented, "These results from the KTS DLE pilot program are exceptional. The industry leading Li:TDS ratio will make a significant contribution to the financial success of the Green River Lithium Project as will the very high rates of impurity rejection. The cooperation has been truly successful. Congratulations to both the KTS and A1 Lithium teams that worked so hard on this project. Anson looks forward to further collaboration with KTS as partners in the development of the Green River Lithium Project." Mr Richardson continued, "Testing of DLE process is essential to reduce commercial production risks and assists in financing a project. Anson has conducted several DLE test work programs, at different times of the year and the KTS results are a standout, not only technically but also from a cost perspective. Anson will continue to focus on these two aspects during the development of the Green River Lithium Project to maximize investor and shareholder returns."Lithium Business Leader at Koch Technology Solutions, Garrett Krall said, "We are proud to achieve this level of brine production at an industry-leading TDS, demonstrating the capability of Li-Pro™ technology and its continued successful commercialization with Anson. This milestone marks a great step forward for the commercial success of DLE, and we are excited to continue supporting this Project in Utah."Pathway to CommercializationKTS has indicated to Anson that there is enough data from the test work to provide a "Technical Annex" that will include process guarantees for a 10,000 tpa production plant using its Li-Pro™ LSS technology. This is expected to be completed in a few months. A process guarantee is a key requirement in securing debt funding for the Project.Exceptional Lithium Purity & Process EfficiencyThe process achieved an average lithium recovery of 98% over the seven months of operation and generated approximately 43,500 gallons (165,000 liters) of lithium chloride at or above the specifications required by downstream processors. The eluate can now be refined and concentrated using tested and proven steps to battery grade product. The production and retention of eluate provides sufficient lithium chloride for downstream test work and final product trials.DLE systems that produce a lithium chloride solution with a lithium-to-total dissolved solids ratio (Li:TDS) greater than 0.08 are considered as suitable for downstream processing. The lithium chloride eluate produced with the KTS DLE plant achieved a Li:TDS of up to 0.129. The average Li:TDS of 0.126 achieved over the program, is a 57% improvement relative to the target Li:TDS ratio of 0.08.A high Li:TDS ratio has positive implications for the costs of the lithium purification process step. A higher ratio equates to a lower amount of water to be removed (evaporated) prior to lithium carbonate precipitation. Less evaporation requires less energy to reduce the volume of eluate and increase the concentration of lithium prior to carbonation.The brine samples were assayed on site at Green River with the Company's ICP machine due to allow for continuous sampling and quick turnaround of assay results required to continually fine tune the DLE process. These assay results were then confirmed by independent third-party off-site laboratories.During the seven-month continuous operating period (August 2024 to February 2025) onsite, the KTS DLE plant successfully produced 43,500 gallons (165,000 litres) of high-quality eluate at Green River.The seven months of DLE test work allowed Anson and KTS to fine-tune the process control steps, identifying the optimal balance for lithium recovery, impurity removal, water usage, and lithium concentration under various climate conditions, including temperatures below freezing. This critical data will support the operation of the production plant, ensuring its efficiency throughout the year in diverse environmental conditions.Downstream of the DLE process, the LiCl solution which can be efficiently purified via standard ion exchange (IX) resins will be processed by various technologies to further remove the low concentrations of the unwanted impurities (e.g. calcium, potassium, magnesium, and boron). The pilot plant has shown a proven ability to produce LiCl solutions suitable as feedstock for this purification process.This announcement has been authorized for release by the Executive Chairman and CEO and reviewed & contributed to by KOCH Technology Solutions (KTS).About Anson Resources LtdAnson Resources (ASX:ASN) is an ASX-listed mineral resources company with a portfolio of minerals projects in key demand-driven commodities. Its core assets are the Green River and Paradox Lithium Project in Utah, in the USA. Anson is focused on developing these assets into a significant lithium producing operations. The Company's goal is to create long-term shareholder value through the discovery, acquisition and development of natural resources to meet the demand of tomorrow's new energy and technology markets.For further information please contact:Bruce RichardsonExecutive Chairman and CEOE: Info@AnsonResources.comWill MazeHead of Investor RelationsE: Investors@AnsonResources.comPh: +1 949-508-7834www.AnsonResources.comFollow us on Twitter @Anson_irSubscribe to Anson Resources News: Click HereSOURCE: Anson Resources Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
