Leading provider of specialised services to the Australian coal mining industry, Mastermyne Group Limited (ASX: MYE) has been focusing on growing its core specialist capabilities within the buoyant underground coal mining market
In an announcement made on 17 May 2019, the company announced that it has reached agreement to sell the Scaffold and Blast & Paint component of its Mastertec subsidiary to Radbyrn Pty Ltd for around $6.0 million consideration.
It is expected that through this divestment the company will generate a gain of $1.9 million. Further the divestment will provide further balance sheet strength and additional capital flexibility to continue to support the growth opportunities in the companyâs core specialist capabilities within the buoyant underground coal mining market.
In FY19 (till 28th April 2019), Scaffold and Blast & Paint services generated revenue of around $12.8 million.
The first half of FY19 was the companyâs 3rd consecutive half year period of strong growth. The company generated revenue of $116.8 million in H1 FY19, up 28% on the previous corresponding period (pcp), driven by the award of new contracts in the mining division along with scope increase and extensions of existing mining contracts.
