Commenting on the interim results, Jamie Boyton, Executive Chair, said:
"Through H1 2025 the Group has seen improved momentum across all business
divisions and looking forward we see a clear pathway that will continue to
build on this - both in revenue growth and a recovery in margins, returns and
cash flows.
As previously announced, we increased our full-year 2025 revenue guidance,
with Group revenue now expected in the range of $320-$340 million (previously
$300-$320 million) and MSALABS revenue guidance at $55-$65 million (previously
$50-$60 million). We had also highlighted at the FY 2024 results that margins
would bottom in H1 2025 and the performance in Q2 supports this.
This improving performance reflects the operational discipline across the
group, particularly in our key growth areas. We have had a strong start to our
new mining contract at Reko Diq, improving ARPORs and utilisation in our
drilling business and MSALABS delivered a record quarter in Q2 2025, driven by
improving utilisation across a number of laboratories and the continued ramp
up at Nevada Gold Mines. We are also thrilled to have again maintained a
world-class safety performance despite the operational changes across the
business.
We are excited by the outlook for the Group and the opportunities ahead of us,
but nevertheless, while we finalise the delivery of our new contracts, we have
kept tight control on our capital spend, with capex now trending to the lower
end of our $45-55 million guidance for the year. We are pleased to declare an
interim dividend of 1.3 cents per share, reflecting our focus on delivering
value to shareholders through both dividends and the future growth of the
business."
Financial Overview
· H1 2025 revenue of $159.2 million, down 6.0% on H1 2024 ($169.4
million);
· H1 2025 EBITDA (adjusted for IFRS 16 leases and exceptional items) of
$32.1 million, a decrease of 25.2% on H1 2024 ($42.9 million) with H1 2025
EBITDA Margin (adjusted for IFRS 16 leases and exceptional items) of 20.2% (H1
2024: 25.3%):
· H1 2025 Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) (excluding effects from
investment portfolio and exceptional items) of $2.1 million, a decrease of
82.2% on H1 2024 ($11.8 million);
· Exceptional items include a $5.6 million impairment of our investment
in Eco Detection reflective of slower progress towards commercialisation. We
remain supportive of the technology and have now taken a more active role
within the business;
· H1 2025 Cash from Operations (adjusted for IFRS 16 leases) of $54.7
million, a 6.8% increase on H1 2024 ($51.2 million) in part driven by a
favourable working capital position at the end of the period, some of which
will normalise in H2 2025;
· H1 2025 Capex of $20.4 million (H1 2024: $44.3 million) including
prepayments and assets financed by OEM;
· Net debt at H1 2025 of $55.4 million decreased 35.9% on H1 2024
($86.4 million) predominantly as a result of lower capex spend in the half and
the favourable working capital position; and
· Declared an interim dividend of 1.3 cents per share, to be paid on 6
October 2025 to shareholders registered on 29 August 2025.
Operational Review

2024: 1.1).
Capital Drilling
· Total rig count increased to 133 by the end of H1 2025 (FY 2024: 130),
as new rigs purchased in FY 2024 were commissioned;
· H1 2025 average rig utilisation was 74%, an increase of 7.2% on H1
2024 (69%). The increase was primarily driven an increase in exploration
contracts during the half. The Group's target average utilisation is ~75%;
· Average monthly revenue per operating rig ("ARPOR") was $190,000 in H1
2025, down 6.9% on H1 2024 ($204,000). We saw improved productivity in the Q2
2025 with ARPOR of $198,000;

Capital Mining
· Our mining contract at Reko Diq has had a strong start to the ramp up
since we commenced operations with the civils fleet in April 2025. The TSF
fleet has partially arrived on-site, with the remaining equipment being
prepared for export from Egypt, which is targeted to commence work in Q4 2025.
MSALABS
· MSALABS achieved another record quarter of revenue as new laboratories
are ramped up and existing laboratories realise higher utilisations;
· Two new laboratories were commissioned during H1 2025, marking
important milestones in MSALABS growth path. Our commercial laboratory in
Elko, USA, equipped with a Chrysos PhotonAssay™ unit, strengthens our
service offering in North America, while our first laboratory in Saudi Arabia,
established in partnership with Barrick and Maaden, enhances our presence in
the Middle East. In parallel, the Nevada Gold Mines contract continues to
build momentum as ramp-up activities progress, and procurement for Phase 2
construction is now underway.
· Previously announced H1 2025 wins include a feasibility consulting study
with Rio Tinto at the Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia, a contract extension at
Tasiast Gold Mine, Mauritania and a new contract with WIA Gold's Kokoseb Gold
Project, Namibia
· MSALABS possesses the largest international network of Chrysos
PhotonAssay(TM) technology and our relationship with Chrysos remains strong
with the total planned deployment of 21 units.
Capital Investments
· The total value of investments (listed and unlisted) was $49.5
million as at 30 June 2025 up from $30.3 million as at 31 December 2024 and
$47.8 million as at 30 June 2024, with the portfolio recording investment
gains (realised and unrealised) of $19.3 million in H1 2025; and
· The portfolio continues to be focused on a select few key holdings
namely WIA Gold, Sanu Gold and Asara Resources.
Outlook
· Group revenue guidance is raised to $320 - 340 million and MSALABS
revenue guidance is raised to $55 - 65 million for 2025 (up from $300 - 320
million and $50 - 60 million, respectively, as originally guided at our FY
2024 results);
· We anticipate a stronger second half of the year, underpinned by
sustained demand across all divisions:
- The drilling business will benefit from several recent contract awards
and extensions, whilst in the US our drilling operations remain a key area of
focus, and we are confident that the operational and structural improvements
made to date will support a continued uplift in returns through H2;
- Our mining contract at Reko Diq will continue to ramp through the
second half as equipment from Egypt begins operating in Q4 2025, with the
project expected to reach full capacity by the end of H1 2026;
- MSALABS is expected to continue its positive trajectory, with further
growth in laboratory volumes and ramping up of new laboratories supporting
improved financial performance; and
- Tendering activity remains robust across the Group with several
opportunities progressing.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO CAPITAL LIMITED
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting
Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
We have been engaged by Capital Limited ("the Group") to review the condensed
set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six
months ended 30 June 2025 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement
of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of financial
position, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, condensed
consolidated statement of cash flows, and notes to the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on
Review Engagements (UK) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" ("ISRE (UK) 2410"). A
review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries,
primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and
applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain
assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be
identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the group prepared
in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards. The
condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial
report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International
Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
Conclusions relating to going concern
Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed
in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report,
nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have
inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the
directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern
that are not appropriately disclosed.
This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with
ISRE (UK) 2410, however future events or conditions may cause the Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
Responsibilities of directors
The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report
in accordance with the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial
Conduct Authority.
In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible
for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group
or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the financial information
In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the
Group a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statement in the
half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions
Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive
than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of
this report.
Use of our report
Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our engagement to
assist the Group in meeting the requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for
no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on this report unless such a
person is a person entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for the
purpose of our terms of engagement or has been expressly authorised to do so
by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility
for this report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby
expressly disclaim any and all such liability.

CAPITAL LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2025
1. Basis of presentation and accounting policies
Preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Capital Limited and
Subsidiaries ("Capital" or, together, the "Group") as at and for the six
months ended 30 June 2025 (the "Interim Financial Statements"), which are
unaudited, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard ("IAS") No. 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". This condensed interim
report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an
Annual Report. They should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto in the Group's Annual Report for
the year ended 31 December 2024 which have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The Interim Financial
Statements have been reviewed in terms of International Standard on Review
Engagements (ISRE) 2410.
The Group Annual Financial Statements are presented in United States Dollars,
which is also the Group's functional currency. Amounts are rounded to the
nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
Accounting policies
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared
under the going concern basis under the historical cost convention, except for
certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.
All accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation which have
been followed in these condensed consolidated financial statements were
applied in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2024.
No new standards or amendments have been issued that are relevant to the
Group.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS recognition
and measurement principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Management reviews its estimates on an on-going basis using currently
available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in
revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going concern
As at 30 June 2025, the Group had a robust balance sheet with a modest debt
gearing with equity of US$296.6 million and loans and borrowings of US$114.0
million. Cash as at 30 June 2025 was US$58.6 million, with net debt of US$55.4
million. Investments in listed entities at the end of June 2025 amounted to
US$49.5 million which provided additional flexibility as these investments
could be converted into cash.
This robustness is underpinned by stable revenues generated on long term
contracts. Revenues generated on mine sites and longer-term contracts make up
the majority of Group revenues. Stronger-than-expected revenue in H1 2025
led management to upgrade forecasts for the full year. While margins have
declined YoY, much of this is driven by the investment made across key growth
areas (Nevada, Pakistan & MSALABS), which is setting the foundation for
the business to continue to grow in the years ahead.
Commercially, the Group continues to secure and extend long term mining
contracts with high quality customers, including the latest significant win
for mining services in Pakistan with Reko Diq Mining. This contract with Reko
Diq Mining has only made a minor contribution to Group revenue as at 30 June
2025.
CAPITAL LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)
For the six months ended 30 June 2025
1. Basis of presentation and accounting policies
Going concern (cont'd)
In determining the going concern status of the business, the Board has
reviewed the Group's forecasts for the 18 months to December 2026, including
both forecast liquidity and covenant measurements. In the assessment,
management took into consideration the principal risks of the business that
are most relevant to the going concern assessment and reverse stressed the
forecast model to identify the magnitude of sensitivity required to cause a
breach in covenants or risk the going concern of the business, alongside the
Group's capacity to mitigate. The most relevant sensitivity was considered to
be a decrease in EBITDA through loss of contracts, with no redeployment of
equipment. EBITDA would need to fall over 30% during the period of assessment
for going concern to breach the covenant test. Given the strong market demand
from existing high-quality clients and across a large tendering pipeline, the
Group's increased service diversification and the limited contract expiries
due during the year, management considers the risk of a deep demand reduction
to be low.
Given the Group's exposure to high-quality mine site operations, we consider a
decrease of such magnitude to be remote. Based on its assessment of the
forecasts, principal risks and uncertainties and mitigating actions considered
available to the Group (holding back dividends, sale of investments, capex
deferment) 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 December 2026.
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.
2. Operations in the interim period
Capital Ltd is incorporated in Bermuda. The Group provides drilling services,
mining (load and haul), mineral assaying and surveying services. The Group
also has a portfolio of investments in listed and unlisted exploration and

Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Pakistan, Saudi
Arabia, Tanzania, United States of America and Zambia.
2.1 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of both annual and interim financial statements usually
requires the use of estimates and judgements. The write-down of the value of
the investment in Eco Detection Pty Ltd ("Eco"), is the only material change
in judgement and estimate in the period.

4. 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.

15. Segmental analysis
Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal management reports
regarding components of the Group. These are regularly reviewed by the board
in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their
performance. Operating segments are identified based on the regions of
operations. For the purposes of the segmental report, the information on the
operating segments have been aggregated into the principal regions of
operations of the Group. The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 are
therefore:
- Africa: Derives revenue from the provision of drilling services, mining services,
surveying, IT support services and mineral assaying.
- Rest of world: Derives revenue from the provision of drilling services, surveying, IT support
services and mineral assaying. The segment relates to jurisdictions which
contribute a relatively small amount of external revenue to the Group. These
include Saudi Arabia and Canada.
Information regarding the Group's operating segments is reported below. At 30
June 2025, management reviewed the composition of the Group's operating
segments and the allocations of operations to the reportable segments.

(b) Fair value information
Level 1 shares
Market approach - Listed share price.
The Company's interests in various listed shares are valued at the 30 June
2025 closing prices. No secondary valuation methodologies have been considered
as all the Company's investments are listed on active markets.
Level 3 shares
The Group's investments held at Level 3 are valued either on a net asset
approach or cost approach.
Net asset approach
Management applied a net asset valuation methodology at 30 June 2025 for
certain unlisted investments based on the Group's share ownership percentage
of the unlisted company's net asset value. The unlisted company publishes some
of its significant net asset value information and management then derives the
investment at fair value attributable to the Group.
Cost approach
Management holds all other unlisted investments at cost where this represents
the best estimate of fair value.
(c) Fair values of other financial instruments
Level 3 derivative financial assets
The Group's derivative financial assets consist of call options to acquire
additional shares in a non-listed entity.

In H1 2024 the Group completed a US$6.6 million strategic investment in Eco,
acquiring a 22% ownership stake in the company. Eco is incorporated in
Australia and produces analysis systems for monitoring water quality. This
investment has been accounted for in accordance with IAS 28, as an investment
in associate rather than as an investment at fair value.
In H1 2025 an impairment of $5.6 million was recognised against the
investment. This impairment was calculated by writing down the investment to
its fair value, based on a new valuation agreed by shareholders for a new
funding round entered into on 1 July 2025.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY
For the six months ended 30 June 2025
The directors are responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting
records and the preparation and integrity of the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements and related information.
The directors are also responsible for the Group's systems of internal
financial control. These are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute,
assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements, and to adequately
safeguard, verify and maintain accountability for the Group's assets, and to
prevent and detect misstatement and loss. Nothing has come to the attention of
the directors to indicate that any material breakdown in the functioning of
these controls, procedures and systems has occurred during the six months
under review.
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
a) the condensed set of consolidated interim financial statements, which has been
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim
Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Boards gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial
position and profit or loss of the Group as required by FCA's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules DTR4.2.4R;
b) the interim management report includes a fair review of the information
required by DTR4.2.7R and DTR4.2.8R; and
c) there have been no significant individual related party transactions during
the first six months of the financial year and nor have there been any
significant changes in the Group's related party relationships from those
reported in the Group's annual financial statement for the year ended 31
December 2024.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on
the going concern basis since the directors believe that the Group has
adequate resources in place to continue in operation for the foreseeable
future.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the
board of directors on 13 August 2025.

and confidence for our shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, and for
the communities in which we operate.
Our risk management approach includes:
· Establishing a standard approach to the management of risk and to the
acceptable levels of risk throughout the business.
· Establishing a consistent process and methodology for identifying,
assessing, and ranking risks in conducting our business activities.

APPENDIX: GLOSSARY AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
EBITDA
EBITDA represents profit or loss for the period before interest, income taxes,
depreciation & amortisation, fair value gain or loss on financial assets
through profit or loss and exceptional items.
EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that is used as supplemental financial
measure by management and external users of financial statements, such as
investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. This non-IFRS
financial measure will assist our management and investors by increasing the
comparability of our performance from period to period.
We believe that including EBITDA assists our management and investors in: -
i. understanding and analysing the results of our operating and
business performance, and
ii. monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in
assessing whether to continue to hold our shares. This is achieved by
excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of depreciation
and amortisation, income (loss) from associate, interest income, finance
charges, fair value adjustment on financial assets at fair value through
profit and loss and realised gain (loss) on fair value through profit and loss
investments, which may significantly affect comparability of results of
operations between periods.
EBITDA has limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as
alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior to, profit or loss for the
period or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance
with IFRS. Further other companies in our industry may calculate these
measures differently from how we do, limiting their usefulness as a
comparative measure.
EBITDA (adjusted for IFRS 16 leases)
EBITDA (adjusted for IFRS 16 leases) represents profit or loss for the year
before interest, income taxes, depreciation & amortisation, fair value
adjustments on financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and
realised gain (loss) on fair value through profit and loss investments and net
of cash cost of the IFRS 16 leases.
Net cash (debt)
Net cash (debt) is a non-IFRS measure that is defined as cash and cash
equivalents less short term and long-term debt.
Management believes that net cash (debt) is a useful indicator of the Group's
indebtedness, financial flexibility and capital structure because it indicates
the level of borrowings after taking account of cash and cash equivalents
within the Group's business that could be utilised to pay down the outstanding
borrowings. Management believes that net debt can assist securities analysts,
investors and other parties to evaluate the Group. Net cash (debt) and similar
measures are used by different companies for differing purposes and are often
calculated in ways that reflect the circumstances of those companies.
Accordingly, caution is required in comparing net debt as reported by the
Group to net cash (debt) of other companies.
Average revenue per operating rig
ARPOR is a non-financial measure defined as the monthly average drilling
specific revenue for the period divided by the monthly average active
operating rigs. Drilling specific revenue excludes revenue generated from shot
crew, a blast hole service that does not require a rig to perform but forms
part of drilling. Management uses this indicator to assess the operational
performance across the board on a period-by-period basis even if there is an
increase or decrease in rig utilisation.
