MARKET UPDATE FOR QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

BauMart Holdings Limited (ASX: BMH) ("BauMart" or the "Company") is pleased to present its quarterly cash report and operational update to 31 December 2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic

  • Supply chain bottlenecks continue to affect customer lead times, particularly in our key markets of New South Wales and Victoria.
  • In Malaysia, our key supplier continues to be affected by interruptions to supply chain as a result of the end-of-year peak season and frequent shipping delays.

Group Results and Commentary on Appendix 4C

  • Net operating cashflows for the quarter was negative at $44K with a decrease of $93K in receipts from customers on the previous quarter. Ongoing supply chain delays resulted in the Company investing cashflows into inventory build-up necessary to support sales and associated costs.
  • Payments to Related Parties of the Company and their associates comprised executive directors' salaries and non-executive director fees of approx. $73K.
  • At 31 December 2021, the Company had $343K cash at bank and $163K in available trade finance facilities. The Company also currently holds an investment in listed securities with a market value of approximately $4.3m.
  • Company expenditure for the quarter was in line with normal day to day operations including payments for inventory, staff costs and marketing
  • Positive revenue growth for Q2 FY22 to $1.34M (Q2 FY21: $1.27M), an increase of 6%.

Materials Handling Division

  • Revenue for Q2 FY22 totalled $1.3M (Q2 FY21: $1.1M), an increase of 19%
  • Trading margins remained under pressure from spiking and unpredictable supply chain costs.
  • Exorbitant port charges have significantly affected variable costs month to month.
  • Delivery schedules from Malaysia have improved however peak season shipping (October to March) has caused further delays.
  • New South Wales and Victoria were in some form of lockdown for a portion of the quarter which impacted our ability to deliver orders within the period.
  • Delivery lead times remain unpredictable with customer expectations difficult to manage.

Source & Procure Division

  • Revenue for Q2 FY22 totalled $1K (Q2 FY21: $154K), a decrease of 99%.
  • Pleasingly, the mining supplies project has gained traction with multiple purchase orders received in Q2 FY22, expected to be delivered in Q3 or Q4 FY22, with revenue recognised in the same quarter.
  • Supply chain issues have affected revenue capture in Q2 FY22.
