Commenting on the results, Jamie Boyton, Executive Chair, said:

"I am very pleased to report a strong set of results for 2025, marking a clear
transition from the challenges of the past year. The Group has emerged
stronger, more diversified and with significantly enhanced flexibility.

This year we advanced the projects that will drive our next phase of growth.
Our Reko Diq mining contract is ramping up well alongside our restarted mining
contract at Sukari, both expecting full run operations during 2026. MSALABS
achieved its highest annual revenue and started contributing to the Group's
profitability. Our drilling business secured several long-term contract wins
and is well placed to take advantage of the current demand cycle. Our
investment portfolio achieved exceptional performance with a $66 million gain
during the year.

The sector is entering a major growth phase, driven by high commodity prices
and strong capital inflows. The Group is well positioned to benefit from this
favourable backdrop as miners and explorers deploy record levels of cash flow
from operations and capital markets funding.

Looking ahead, 2026 will be another important year for Capital. With
ramp‑ups at Reko Diq and Sukari, continued MSALABS expansion and a healthy
pipeline of drilling opportunities, we are well positioned to deliver further
growth. Our revenue guidance of $410 - 440 million, a 23% increase on 2025 at
the midpoint, reflects the increasing scale and diversification of the
business.

I would like to thank our teams across all regions for their hard work and
commitment. We are confident in the outlook for the Group and excited about
the opportunities ahead."

 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 For the year ended 31 December 2025

 1.  General information

     Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements

     Capital Limited (the "Company") is incorporated in Bermuda. The Company and
     its subsidiaries (the "Group") provide drilling, mining (load and haul),
     crushing, mineral assaying and surveying services. The Group also has a
     portfolio of investments in listed and unlisted exploration and mining
     companies.

 2.  Basis of presentation

     The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the going
     concern basis under the historical cost convention, except for certain
     financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The directors are
     responsible for the preparation of the results announcement.

     The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this results
     announcement has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and
     recognition criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
     as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Whilst the
     financial information included in this results announcement has been prepared
     in accordance with IFRS, this announcement does not itself contain sufficient
     information to comply with the disclosure requirements of IFRS. The Group's
     2025 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance
     with IFRS. The results announcement does not constitute a dissemination of the
     annual financial reports. A separate dissemination announcement in accordance
     with Disclosure and Transparency Rules (DTR) 6.3 will be made when the Annual
     Report and audited consolidated Financial Statements are available on the
     Company's website. The accounting policies are in terms of IFRS and consistent
     with those of the prior year.

     The financial information for the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024 does
     not constitute the annual financial statements. The annual consolidated
     financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 and 2024 were
     completed and received an unmodified audit report from the Company's Auditors.

     Going concern

     As at 31 December 2025, the Group had a robust balance sheet with a low debt
     gearing with equity of $388.7 million and loans and borrowings of $94.8
     million. Cash as at 31 December 2025 was $63.4 million, with net debt of $31.8
     million. As at 31 December 2025, investments at fair value amounted to $97.51
     million which provides additional flexibility as these investments could be
     converted into cash.

     The amount outstanding on the revolving credit facility as at 31 December 2025
     was $59.2 million and at the year end this loan was due for repayment in April
     2027, which falls within the going concern period to 30 June 2027.  The
     revolving credit facility has since been refinanced in March 2026 with a term
     loan of $37.5 million, maturing in March 2029, and a revolving credit facility
     of $37.5 million, maturing in March 2030.

     This balance sheet robustness is underpinned by stable cash flows generated by
     a diversified service offering and diversified contract portfolio. Whilst 2025
     revenues were down 0.6% from the prior year, Net Profit After Tax and Adjusted
     Cash from Operations were up 288.0% and 20.5%, respectively.
     Commercially, the Group commenced a major new mining contract at Reko Diq and
     MSALABS achieved record results, both with revenue and divisional net profit.
     Furthermore, the Group continues to leverage its strong relationships across
     the mining sector with contract awards for grade control drilling services at
     Montage Gold's Kone Gold Project in Cote d'Ivoire, a restart of a waste mining
     contract at Sukari Gold Mine in Egypt, a waterbore drilling services contract
     at Reko Diq in Pakistan as well as several short-term exploration drilling
     contracts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 CAPITAL LIMITED

 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 For the year ended 31 December 2025

 2.       Basis of presentation

 For the going concern period to 30 June 2027, the Group has prepared cash flow
 forecasts for a base case operating scenario, which shows that the Group has
 sufficient cash and liquidity, and does not breach covenants, at any point
 during the going concern period. The Group has then performed reverse stress
 testing on the cash flow forecasts by modelling reductions in Adjusted EBITDA
 to identify the point at which the Group's financial covenants would be
 breached. This analysis indicates that the first covenant breach would occur
 if Adjusted EBITDA immediately declined by approximately 48% and remained at
 that level thereafter.

 Given the strong market demand from existing high-quality clients and across a
 large tendering pipeline and the Group's increased service diversification,
 exposure to high-quality mine site operations and strong relationships with
 blue-chip customers, the Board considers the probability of such a scenario to
 be low and notes that the analysis excludes any operational responses,
 including the redeployment of equipment across the Group's operations.

 Furthermore, the reverse stress testing is undertaken prior to the application
 of any mitigating actions. The Group has a range of measures available that
 would provide additional headroom in a downside scenario. These include, among
 others, the liquidation of the investment portfolio, reductions in inventory
 levels and capital expenditure, the renegotiation of creditor payment terms
 and adjustments to the dividend pay-out policy.

 Based on its assessment of the forecasts, principal risks and uncertainties
 and mitigating actions considered available to the Group in the event of
 downside scenarios, the Board confirms that it is satisfied the Group will be
 able to continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the
 going concern period to June 2027. Accordingly, the Board has concluded that
 the going concern basis in the preparation of the Financial Statements is
 appropriate and that there are no material uncertainties that would cast doubt
 on that basis of preparation.

 7.  Taxation

     Capital Limited is incorporated in Bermuda and tax resident in the United
     Kingdom and the Group operates in multiple countries jurisdictions with
     complex legal and tax regulatory environments.  Taxation is calculated in
     accordance with local legislation and the prevailing tax rates.

     The Group has taken income tax positions that management believes are
     supportable and are intended to withstand challenge by tax authorities. Some
     of these positions are inherently uncertain and include those relating to
     transfer pricing matters and the interpretation of income tax laws. The Group
     periodically reassesses its tax positions. Changes to the financial statement
     recognition, measurement, and disclosure of tax positions is based on
     management's best judgement given any changes in the facts, circumstances,
     information available and applicable tax laws. Considering all available
     information and the history of resolving income tax uncertainties, the Group
     believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not likely have a
     material effect on the Group's financial position, statements of operations or
     cash flows.

 16.  PRIOR PERIOD RESTATEMENTS

 

During the year, the Group identified errors in the configuration of the
payroll system in one of our countries of operation, which resulted in the
miscalculation of certain employee payroll taxes and employer social
contributions during 2023 and 2024. The net impact on 2023 was $0.4 million,
comprising an understatement of employee taxes of $0.7 million and an
overstatement of employer social contributions of $0.3 million; this net
impact was assessed as immaterial to warrant the presentation of a third
balance sheet. The errors have been corrected through an adjustment to opening
retained earnings as at 1 January 2024. The net impact on 2024 was $1.3
million, consisting of an understatement of employee taxes of $2.1 million and
an overstatement of employer social contributions of $0.8 million. A
receivable has been recognised for the overpaid employer social contributions,
which will be offset against future statutory obligations in 2026. The under
declared employee taxes have been recognised as a current liability to be
settled in 2026. There is no income tax effect of these adjustments in
accordance with local tax rules.
