The Company’s coal production in 2Q 2023 totaled 1.7 Mt, which brings its total coal production in the first
six months of 2023 to 3.5 Mt. In the same period, the Company managed to sell 1.8 Mt of coal, which is
similar to previous quarter’s sales. Overall, the Company’s sales volume reached 3.6 Mt in 1H 2023, or
71.8% higher than the volume sold in the same period a year ago (see Chart 1).
The Company’s Average Sales Price (ASP) declined by 31.8 % q-o-q in 2Q 2023 to USD 109.8/t from USD
160.9/t achieved in previous quarter. The decline in the Company’s ASP mirrored the decline in global coal
prices that has been on a downward trend since the beginning of the year as global commodity prices

normalized from last year’s record levels. Consequently, the Company’s ASP for the first six months of 2023
also decreased by 23.4% y-o-y to USD 135.6/t from USD 177.0/t in 1H 2022 (see Chart 2).
Due to the lower ASP, the Company recorded revenues of USD 197.7 million in 2Q 2023, compared with
USD 294.5 million in 1Q 2023 or 32.9% lower q-o-q. Nevertheless, since the Company had successfully
increased its sales volume significantly in 1H 2023, in spite of the lower ASP, the Company still managed to
generate revenue of USD 492.2 million, or 30.4% higher y-o-y than the USD 377.5 million recorded in 1H
2022.

In 2Q 2023, the overall production cash cost per tonne (/t) decreased by 13.6% from the previous quarter
mainly due to lower royalty expense/t and lower average fuel price.
For the first six months of 2023, the Company’s overall production cash cost/t declined 11.4% y-o-y, which
also resulted from lower royalty expense/t and lower average fuel price.

The Company’s nickel mining subsidiary, PT Position (POS), continued to progress with the various
permitting process, which is required prior to construction of the mining infrastructure and other pre-
operating activities.
For the first six months of 2023, the Company’s 49% owned smelter, IMI, successfully produced 12,221 ton
of Ni metal equivalent, while generating EBITDA of USD 30.0 million and a net profit of USD 26.2 million for
1H 2023.

*) 1H2022 data is shown for information purposes, but the utilization rate was low as it was still in trial production period. Commercial
production started in April 2022.
The Company’s second smelter at its associate company, PT Westrong Metal Industry (WMI), is currently
in late stage of construction. As previously announced, WMI will have four lines of RKEF smelter designed
to produce annually up to 56,000 ton of Ni metal in the form of NPI and high-grade nickel matte. In June
2023, the progress of civil construction at WMI has reached nearly 90%, and the smelter is expected to
commence commercial production in stages starting from 4Q 2023, which will support the continued
growth of the Company’s nickel production going forward. In addition, with the flexibility to produce high-
grade nickel matte, WMI is also expected to obtain stronger margins compared to lower grade NPI.

Profitability
The Company recorded a gross profit margin of 45.8% in 2Q 2023, or lower from the 55.3% margin achieved
in 1Q 2023 as a result of lower ASP which more than offset the improvement in the Company’s production

costs. Year-on-year, the Company recorded a lower gross profit margin of 51.5% in 1H 2023 compared with
a margin of 64.8% in 1H 2022 when the Company’s ASP was much higher.
In 2Q 2023, the Company generated a quarterly EBITDA of USD 82.9 million or 47.9% lower q-o-q than USD
159.1 million generated in 1Q 2023. The lower EBITDA is due to lower ASP in the second quarter, which
more than compensated the decrease in production costs during the period. In the first 6 months of 2023,
the total EBITDA generated is USD 242.0 million, or still 13.6% higher than the USD 213.0 million generated
in 1H 2022. The EBITDA margin in 1H 2023 decreased to 49.2% from 56.4% in 1H 2022 due to the lower
ASP.
The Company recorded a positive USD 21.1 million share of profit from associates for 1H 2023, the majority
of which came from its investment in IMI and Nickel Industries Limited (NIC).
Due to the above factors, the quarterly consolidated net profit attributable to the owners of the parent in
2Q 2023 was USD 47.6 million, or 53.8% lower q-o-q. Nevertheless, for the first six months of 2023, the net
profit attributable to the owners of the parent still increased to USD 150.6 million from USD 146.0 million
in 1H 2022. The net profit margin decreased to 30.6% in 1H 2023, compared to 38.7% in 1H 2022.
Balance Sheet
During the first six months of 2023, the Company continued to maintain a robust and liquid balance sheet.
As of 30 June 2023, the Company recorded total assets of USD 1,367.0 million or 6.9% higher than USD
1,278.8 million recorded at the end of 2022.
The Company’s current assets decreased to USD 513.4 million as of 30 June 2023, or 1.1% lower than USD
519.3 million recorded as at 31 December 2022. As of 30 June 2023, the Company maintained a cash and
cash equivalents balance of USD 357.5 million with no outstanding bank loan.
The Company’s non-current assets increased to USD 853.7 million as at 30 June 2023 from USD 759.5
million as at 31 December 2022. The net movement of non-current assets mainly came from the
investment advance made to PT Blue Sparking Energy, amounted to USD 100.0 million.
Total capital expenditure in the first six months of 2023 was USD 12.9 million in relation to (i) addition of
mine properties in MSJ, KUP and THN; (ii) maintenance expenditure for the barging fleet owned by LLJ; as
well as (iii) purchase of vehicles and heavy equipment.
The Company’s total liabilities as of 30 June 2023 stood at USD 184.1 milion, or 35.7% lower than USD
286.5 million recorded at the end of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in dividend
payables and taxes payables which were partially offset with the increase in trade payables.
The equity attributable to owners of the parent as at 30 June 2023 was USD 885.7 million, which reflects a
20.6% increase from the position as at 31 December 2022, due to the additional income generated during
the period.
The Current Ratio (defined as the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) as at 30 June 2023 is 4.2x.

3Q 2023 Outlook
Operations
Operations at MSJ will continue to ramp up production volumes quarter on quarter. 2Q 2023 overburden
removal was higher by approximately 20% versus 1Q 2023; again, 3Q 20233 is forecast to increase volumes
from 2Q 2023 by a similar percentage. The increase is a combination of drier weather and the mobilisation
of additional mining equipment. Coal production will remain flat, resulting in slightly higher strip ratios
through 3Q 20233 v 2Q 2023. MSJ is still on track to meet its annual target of 6MT this year.
At SBB, operations continue to expand from the recommencement of mining during 1H 2023, with the first
coal sales targeted for this quarter. SBB's production levels will stabilise at current 3Q 2023 levels through
to the end of this year. In the coming quarter, the Company's primary aim is to commence an extensive
drilling programme within a highly prospective block at SBB. No previous mining has taken place in this
block. The drilling plan consists of 337 holes which will increase geological confidence to meet JORC
classification for resources and reserves.
As we move into the autumn season, it is likely that China will reduce its overall coal consumption which
may dampen prices for imported coal. At the same time, Indonesian domestic production in May reached
record levels of 65.7Mt, with 1H 2023 production annualising at 719.5Mt - an increase of 5% year on year.
Indonesian miners have however begun to react to the lower pricing and high cost environment, with many
expected to reduce production in 3Q 2023 should the current levels persist. The current royalty structure,
especially for higher CV coal, continues to make Indonesian coal relatively uncompetitive against other
origins and miners now also face the DHE (Dana Hasil Ekspor) regulation - a new regulation requiring 30%
of export proceeds to be placed into an escrow account for 3 months, which could adversely impact
working capital cashflow and prompt a quicker supply response.
There are, however, a few bright spots. Both Pakistan and Vietnam, which have been notably absent for
the 1st half of the year have recently shown indications of returning to the market for Indonesian mid-cv
coal. In addition, the Indian government's directive for import-coal based power plants to operate at full
capacity until September will ensure a steady flow of South African and Indonesian cargoes.
Overall, with ample supply and buying countries seemingly well stocked, we expect pricing to remain
rangebound for 3Q 2023 and into 4Q 2023.
