SBM’s 2QFY25 production result, pre-reported, of 10.3koz was down 16% QoQ. Lower production was attributed to a number of operational issues including mining fleet availability, unexpected ore dilution and mill throughput constraints. AISC for 2QFY25 of A$5,916/oz was slightly better than our estimates but still up 51% QoQ. The high AISC resulted in a negative FCF generation of A$44m for 2QFY25 but did include A$12m of growth capital and exploration spend. Our $1.00 Price Target with a Speculative Buy remains unchanged.
