Balance Sheet Highlights

The company’s assets totalled $1.57 billion (2025: $1.42 billion).

Accounts Receivable and Prepayments also increased to $458.48 million from $395.87 million. This was partly offset by a decline in Non-current Assets to $180.96 million from $270.00 million, primarily due to lower Property, Plant and Equipment.
