Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's statement
I have great pleasure in presenting the results for Majestic Corporation Limited ("Majestic" -or "the Company") for the year ended 31 December 2021. Majestic is the wholly owned subsidiary of Majestic Corporation Plc (together the Group), which was incorporated on 10 December 2021.
Majestic continues to be a leading non-ferrous metal and precious metals recycler with partnership ventures operating in eight countries and growing. It is through these key partnerships and our network, that we work to increase our presence across all countries to improve global sustainability as well as increase the value to our shareholders.
At our core, we are urban miners, working alongside suppliers and consumers committed to closing the loop on recycling to achieve a more sustainable and green future.
Our capital allocation has been focused on two main areas - investing in partnerships to secure long-term contracts and investing in equipment to recover greater yields from our inventories and technology in procuring inventory at the right price.
Ever since China implemented the National Sword policy, in January 2018, banning the importation of certain types of metals and imposed national tariffs between the United States, Europe and China, our team has shifted and broadened our customer base as well as strengthening our partnerships across the globe.
Highlights
Following the listing of Majestic Corporation Plc on AQSE in March, I see clear opportunities for the Group and I am delighted to announce a new facility in Deeside, UK which is expected to be fully operational in 2022. This move fits into our long-term strategic objectives of deepening partnerships and expanding our presence in our current markets.
Financial Highlights
The year-end marks the first trading results following the successful listing of the company to the AQSE exchange in March 2022.
2021 has been an excellent year for Majestic and I am pleased to report yet another year of strong operational and financial results. Revenue up from US$27.5m to US$29.7m, largely driven by improvements in market prices for materials and the strengthening of key partnerships within our network.
Not only did we deliver another year of excellent results, but we also further advanced and solidified growth plans with all our partners putting us in a better position to succeed in the future. The Company has retained a strong cash position at year end with cash at bank increasing to US$2.5m (2020: US$2.3m).
Underlying earnings before tax of US$853k was up 103% (2020: US$419k). Net Profit after Tax of US$735k was up 97% (2020:US$374k). For year ended 31 December 2021, the company has decided not to pay a dividend.
