Our opinion on the current state of SALUNGANO(SLG)
Salungano, formerly known as Wescoal, is involved in the mining and trading of coal, having commenced production in 2021 with coal sourced from its Moabsvelden mine primarily for Eskom. The company has grown substantially, now producing 300 million tons from five coal mines, with mining operations constituting 82% of its revenue. Additionally, Salungano holds a 50% stake in the Arnot Mine and is exploring opportunities to expand its business into other energy sectors.
In its financial report for the year ending 31st March 2023, published on 21st May 2024, Salungano reported a decline in revenue to R4.79 billion from R5.14 billion the previous year, along with a headline loss of 58.65 cents per share, significantly wider than the loss of 6.13 cents per share in the prior period. The company attributed the disappointing results to "notably lower" production and sales volumes across its operations due to various operational challenges, which led to a 6.8% decrease in revenue.
The global energy market's volatility, particularly with the looming threat of a recession, is impacting Salungano's performance. Additionally, the company is working to lift the suspension of its shares on the JSE, initiated following the publication of its financial results and the interim financial results for FY2024.
Compounding the company's challenges, on 4th July 2023, three directors resigned, triggering a sharp decline in the share price. Subsequently, on 21st August 2023, trading of Salungano shares was suspended by the JSE. The confluence of operational difficulties, leadership changes, and market conditions suggests a period of significant uncertainty for Salungano.
