Quarterly Business Update: $7.4m Cash Balance


Tempo Australia Limited (ASX: TPP) (Tempo, the Company) has today released its Appendix 4C - Quarterly Cashflow report for the period ended 31 December 2015.


The cash balance as at 31 December 2015 was $7.4 million.


Tempo delivered a highly successful quarter with sales receipts of $33.8 million for the period. The cash received from sales in the quarter is reflective of Tempo's build-up of construction and maintenance services carried out for key clients in the energy and resources sectors. This includes revenues being generated from works on the Chevron Operated Barrow Island LNG Project, Rio Tinto's Cape Lambert Port B Expansion Project and BHP Billiton Iron Ore's Mooka Ore Car Repair Shop facility, all of which will continue in 2016.


The underlying health of the business operations is validated by the strong positive operating cash flows of $6.6 million over the last quarter. The strong cash flow position has been realised primarily from Tempo's strong operational performance and governance, prudent cash management, and the release of retention funds held by clients.


Tempo reported total sales receipts from the past 12 months of approximately $73 million, which represents an increase of more than 500% compared to last year.


The Company's strong cash position plus a $10 million working capital facility, which remains completely undrawn, leaves the business well positioned for future project needs and business growth.


Tempo CEO Max Bergomi said:

"We are delighted with the performance delivered by the business in the December quarter. Our front line worker engagement process, strong operational governance, structured risk management and the constant focus in protecting clients' investments by driving productivity and tool-time, without ever compromising safety, is the foundation of Tempo's working philosophy. This approach also underpins the positive financial results we have achieved in the quarter."
