Operational performance and project updates

2025 production was impacted by WCP A upgrade, with HMC down 15% and ilmenite down 17% year-on-year.
Shipments in 2026 are expected to exceed 1.1 million tonnes, a 15% increase over 2025.
Market conditions and outlook
2025 saw weak market conditions due to global oversupply, with average product prices declining.
Demand for zircon products exceeded supply, with prices stabilizing in late 2025.
Q1 2026 remained soft, but supply curtailments and disruptions are reducing oversupply; stronger order book for Q2.
Chinese chloride pigment and titanium metal markets remain resilient, supporting demand for feedstocks.
Operating costs are expected to be lower in 2026, with a retrenchment of ~15% of the workforce and reduced capital expenditure.
