Outlook
We are looking forward to FY2025, as the first year of a re-engineered, revitalised and refocused Murray & Roberts.
We are satisfied that we have appropriately rightsized our business and that the size and quality of the Group's order
book is creating the potential for further improved financial results in FY2025. We will continue working towards
finding the best solution for settling our debt with the banking consortium and establishing an optimal capital
structure for the Group for the future.
Our mining businesses are well established and are expected to continue doing well over the short- to medium-term.
OptiPower is expected to deliver a modest earnings contribution as from FY2025, by capitalising on Eskom's transmission
build-out plans.
The Group is positioned to pursue opportunities for growth, mostly through its international mining businesses and our
expectation is to see the Group returning to pre-pandemic earnings levels from FY2027.
Any forward-looking information contained in this announcement has not been reviewed and reported on by the Group's
