Click to type date

25 FEBRUARY 2015

HALF YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS TO 31 DEC 2014

Key Points

Sales Revenue $413.6 million (down 2.3%)

EBITDA1 $59.1 million (down 37.2%)

EBIT1 $15.0 million (down 63.1%)

Operating Profit after tax $19.9 million* (up 3.7%)

Statutory loss2 after tax and impairment charges $177.4 million

Interim dividend of 1.0 cent per share, fully franked

Diversified mining services company Ausdrill Limited (ASX: ASL) has delivered an operating profit of $19.9 million* on sales revenue of $413.6 million for the six months to 31

December 2014.

However, as a result of impairment charges totalling $197.3 million, as announced to the market on 17 February 2015, the Company has reported a statutory loss after tax of $177.4 million.

The Group recorded a decrease in revenue as a result of the continued challenging trading conditions for service providers to the mining sector.

Earnings for the period were impacted by the cessation of work for clients in the iron ore sector, delays in achieving continuity of work in the energy drilling sector, lower than expected volumes due to a deferral of mining at the Syama project in Africa and continued underperformance of parts of the business including exploration, mineral assaying and equipment hire.

Earnings per share fell to a loss of 56.81 cents per share.

A fully franked interim dividend of 1.0 cent per share will be paid to Ausdrill shareholders on

31 March 2015.

Cash flow from operations was $76.9 million, up 17% on the previous corresponding period. Ausdrill also continued its strategy of deleveraging the business and during the period restricted net capital expenditure to $9.9 million, whilst paying down debt of $56.8 million.

* Figures exclude the effects of any impairment charges

01

Ausdrill Managing Director, Mr Ron Sayers, said: "Ausdrill continues to experience challenging business conditions, largely as a result of the lower commodity prices and the completion of expansion activities in the Pilbara.

"However, the lower Australian dollar means the domestic gold industry is poised for a recovery. Gold is our core business, and we therefore expect to benefit from a resumption of spending by the industry which is likely to occur later this year."

Outlook

Ausdrill expects that the mining industry will continue to focus on cost savings programs as well as deferral of non-essential expenditure including capital works and exploration programs. However, maintenance and gold exploration activity is expected to increase in the next 12 months. This recovery will be assisted by the lower Australian dollar, the gold price, the forecast increase in volumes of production of iron ore from the Pilbara and the continuing high level of coal exports from Mackay and Newcastle.

Ausdrill also expects to secure additional work that is currently the subject of tenders. This work can be undertaken with only a minimal amount of new capital expenditure required.

Taking into consideration these matters, and subject to any change in circumstances, the Company expects revenues and EBITDA in the second half of the 2015 financial year to be similar to the first half, excluding any significant items or impairment expense.

The resource industry is expected to improve over the medium term in both Australia and Africa where Ausdrill has a long established presence and local know-how. As a consequence, Ausdrill remains very well placed for a recovery beyond the current financial year.
