Proactive - Interviews for investors

Super League Enterprises CEO Ann Hand joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share the company's impressive first-quarter 2024 financial results. Super League generated solid revenue of $4.2 million, marking a 27% increase compared to the same quarter last year and aligning with consensus forecasts. Hand noted that the first-quarter revenues also reflected the typical seasonality the company experiences at the start of the year.

Super League remains focused on accelerating its path to profitability through more aggressive productization, which the company expects to drive up margins in the second half of the year. Hand emphasized the importance of this strategic focus, as it positions the company to maximize revenue potential and improve financial performance in the coming quarters.

Super League leverages popular gaming platforms like Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft to create marketing channels aimed at Generation Z and Alpha audiences. These platforms are viewed as the next generation of social media, offering brands innovative ways to engage with young audiences through 3D engagement and personalized experiences. Super League primarily targets Roblox due to its large user base, especially among users under 18 years old, but also utilizes platforms like Fortnite to reach older audiences.

The company's strategy includes segmenting audiences within these gaming platforms to tailor experiences to specific interests. For example, Super League can target different games within Roblox to appeal to varied user preferences, enhancing the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. This segmentation approach allows brands to reach their desired demographics more precisely, resulting in higher engagement and conversion rates.

Recent partnerships have further demonstrated Super League's ability to drive both engagement and sales for major brands. Collaborations with companies like Skechers, Kraft Lunchables, and Chipotle have yielded successful outcomes. Notably, a Chipotle campaign resulted in 130,000 burritos given away in just 30 minutes, setting a record day for app downloads and digital sales. These partnerships highlight Super League's capacity to create impactful marketing initiatives that resonate with young consumers.

Hand also discussed the company's ongoing efforts to expand its portfolio of partnerships and enhance its marketing capabilities. By leveraging the immersive nature of gaming platforms, Super League provides brands with unique opportunities to connect with their target audiences in meaningful ways. This approach not only drives brand awareness but also fosters deeper customer loyalty and engagement.

Quadrise CEO Jason Miles joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the signing of a significant Commercial Framework Agreement with OCP S.A., an international manufacturing and mining group based in Morocco. This agreement marks a major milestone for Quadrise as it opens new commercial avenues for the supply of their proprietary MSAR® fuel technology to OCP.

Miles detailed that the agreement initiates commercial discussions with third parties to secure MSAR® supply to OCP. Concurrently, Quadrise and OCP have agreed to collaborate on a paid-for commercial trial at OCP's Jorf Lasfar site. This trial is a crucial step in demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of using MSAR® fuel in OCP’s operations.

To meet OCP's demand, Quadrise will engage with potential suppliers, including refineries, terminal operators, and traders, who have the capacity to produce MSAR®. Facilitating these discussions, OCP has signed a Letter of Intent, indicating their commitment to entering into a Commercial Supply Agreement with a supplier that will provide MSAR® under a license from Quadrise.

Additionally, Quadrise will update the technical, economic, and feasibility study that was previously issued in June 2022. This update will focus on converting the Jorf Lasfar site for the consumption of MSAR®. Quadrise will also supply and install the necessary equipment to emulsify locally available heavy fuel oil using MSAR® technology. Following this setup, a 30-day MSAR® combustion trial will be conducted on a kiln at the site. The execution of the Commercial Supply Agreement will be contingent upon the successful results of this trial.

Miles emphasized that this agreement with OCP not only validates the potential of MSAR® technology but also represents a significant step forward in Quadrise’s strategic growth plan. The collaboration with OCP, one of the world's leading fertilizer producers, underscores the increasing recognition and adoption of MSAR® as a cleaner and more efficient alternative to traditional heavy fuel oil.

Globe Metals & Mining Ltd (ASX: GBE) CEO Paul Smith sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the significant advancement in the Kanyika Niobium Project's capital cost and funding strategy.

The project, situated in central Malawi and backed by a large-scale mining licence, has undergone an optimisation study highlighting key financial metrics and an enhanced development approach. Project execution is set to start by late 2024, with construction slated for early 2025. The initiative aims to produce a pyrochlore mineral concentrate with niobium and tantalum for advanced processing.

The optimisation study, completed on February 5, revealed a pre-tax NPV of US$1.004 billion and an IRR of 47.08%. The unit cost of niobium pentoxide has decreased by 15% to US$18.90 per kilogram, raising the gross profit margin to 71%. The project is expected to operate for 27 years, with a two-phase development strategy reducing initial capital expenditure from US$70 million to US$46 million, thereby lowering project risk. The total capital funding requirement for Phase 1 is US$46 million, including a 25% contingency.

Globe Metals & Mining has established a funding strategy to support the project, minimising shareholder dilution. This includes US$8 million from strategic equity funders, US$15 million in project debt, US$9 million via convertible instruments, and US$14 million from offtake pre-financing. Smith expressed optimism about the project's reception by the Government of Malawi, shareholders and funding institutions.

Phase 1 development is mostly on schedule, with minor delays due to the refinery relocation to Malawi. The environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) and associated incentives are nearing finalisation. Metallurgical test work for the Chlorination Refinery is progressing as planned, with pilot-scale refinery operations to produce marketing samples for offtake agreement discussions. Subsequent updates to the feasibility study will incorporate the construction of the chlorination refinery in Malawi.
