DekelOil Public Limited ('DekelOil' or the 'Company')
Investments to Increase Profitability at Ayenouan
DekelOil Public Limited, operator and 85.75% owner of the profitable and vertically integrated Ayenouan palm oil project in Côte d'Ivoire (the 'Project'), is pleased to announce three key capital investments focused on increasing the Project's profitability and further de-risking its operations ahead of the peak harvesting season expected to run from March - June 2017.
-- Acquisition of an Empty Fruit Press to extract additional crude palm oil ("CPO") from empty fruit bunches - expected to increase the total CPO extraction rate by at least 0.5 percentage points, thereby improving the Project's margins
o Capital investment of EUR485,000 - order placed with Modipalm and Sri Sinaco Engineering Works and the press expected to be operational in time for the peak harvesting period
o Anticipated payback of under a year
-- Construction of an additional 3,000t tank to increase overall CPO storage capacity to 8,000 tn - gives the Company flexibility to choose when to sell its CPO enabling achieved sales prices to be maximised
o Capital investment of EUR390,000 - civil work to commence imminently and take approximately 5 months to complete ahead of 2017 peak harvesting season (March - June 2017)
-- Investment in an additional back up boiler for the Project's 60 tn per hour CPO extraction mill (the 'Mill') to minimise downtime in the event of a break-down. While this is unlikely given the existing machinery is new and state of the art, the Board deems it prudent to de-risk this component
o EUR0.2 million deposit paid on EUR1.25 million capital investment - anticipated to be operational within 17 months
All investments will be funded internally from excess funds following the recent debt refinance and internal cash resources of the Project.
DekelOil Executive Director Lincoln Moore said, "These capital investments, which have been in our sights since the Mill became operational, are expected to improve operating margins, de-risk operations and provide more flexibility with sales pricing going forward. We look forward to benefitting operationally and financially from these initiatives in the near future. Our ability to make these investments, while preserving our ability to return capital to our shareholders in the form of dividends, is reflective of our strong balance sheet and our commitment to proactively managing our operations to improve performance and potential risks on behalf of shareholders."
