Balance Sheet Highlights

The company’s assets totalled $1.57 billion (2025: $1.42 billion).

Accounts Receivable and Prepayments also increased to $458.48 million from $395.87 million. This was partly offset by a decline in Non-current Assets to $180.96 million from $270.00 million, primarily due to lower Property, Plant and Equipment.

Shareholders’ Equity was $604.68 million (2025: $435.60 million), representing a book value per share of $0.25 (2025: $0.18).
