Group Revenue of $631.1 million in 2023 was 3% lower than the
comparative period as the increase in the average realised gold
price of $1,920/oz (2022: $1,819/oz) was offset by an expected
decrease in gold sales of 329,061oz compared to prior year
(357,447oz).
Cost of sales excluding depreciation and amortisation decreased
to $400.4 million compared to $433.9 million in 2022. This is due
to our ongoing cost reduction initiatives as well as the reversal
of historic provisions related to the tax exoneration timing
dispute in Senegal resulting in a onetime non-cash benefit of
$16.4 million.
Administration and other corporate expenses were higher in
2023 due to one-off expenses because of the relocation of select
back-office support functions from Perth, Australia to London,
United Kingdom to align time zones with operations.
Group EBITDA of $161.2 million in 2023 was a 9% improvement
on the comparative period driven by a significant decrease in
cost of sales as well as the one-time non-cash benefit of
$16.4 million relating to the reversal of historic tax provisions
in Senegal.
Net interest and finance expenses decreased in 2023 to
$11.2 million (2022: $15.3 million) due to reduced debt levels
relative to 2022. During 2023 Resolute made $55.0 million in
principal repayments ($30.0 million and $25.0 million in Q1 and
Q3 respectively). $25.0 million remains outstanding on the Term
Loan portion of the Syndicated Facility Agreement and is due to
