New consensus forecast suggests the company will make a profit of AU$47.2m in 2029. Average annual earnings growth of 44% is required to achieve expected profit on schedule.New Risk • Jun 12New minor risk - ProfitabilityThe company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: AU$39m Forecast net loss in 3 years: AU$5.4m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$510k revenue, or US$359k). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (AU$5.4m net loss in 3 years).

Increase in shares outstanding: 28% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$510k revenue, or US$357k).

This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$76m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 23% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$90k revenue, or US$59k).

Like a number of other Alpha's product offerings, the Company is not aware of any higher purity gamma alumina products. As a follow on from product testing, qualification and submitted bids into supply contracts, Alpha has materially advanced a number of negotiations with potential customers for the supply of its high purity aluminium products, which include high purity aluminas, boehmites and aluminium precursors. In parallel with the PPF the Company maintains a number of workstreams directed at completing the remaining conditions precedent to the full-scale HPA First Project FID: Alpha has now received final draft reports from the Independent Technical Expert (`ITE' or `Bankers Engineers') as a key component to the lender due diligence. These reports are under review and are expected to be finalised in the next few weeks.분석 기사 • Dec 06We Think Alpha HPA (ASX:A4N) Can Easily Afford To Drive Business GrowthWe can readily understand why investors are attracted to unprofitable companies.

On 30 April 2021, Alpha announced a Memorandum of Understanding (`MoU') with CleanCo Queensland Limited (`CleanCo')under which Alpha and CleanCo will co-operate on a Renewable Energy Supply Agreement (`REA') for the HPA First Project. The MoU contemplates the supply of up to 100% renewable energy. Alpha has now received an updated model of carbon-dioxide (`CO2') emissions for the proposed HPA First facility, under a range of renewable energy supply scenarios, from Project engineers Prudentia Process Consulting (`PPC'). The model accounts for all direct CO2 emissions and also accounts for N2O as CO2 equivalent emissions. Key outputs of the model are shown in the table below, with the highlight outcome: Using 100% renewable energy, the HPA First Project represents a 59% reduction in CO2 emissions, per unit of HPA produced, over the incumbent HPA manufacturing process (Alkoxide Process). The model has been constructed on a 100% high purity alumina production basis. The pending adoption of additional high purity products into the Project mix, inclusive of the 2 high purity Al-Precursors and boehmite, would further reduce the Project CO2 emissions, due to the reduction in drying and calcination duty. The carbon footprint for the process was estimated by calculating the direct carbon dioxide emissions from burning natural gas and diesel fuel, carbon dioxide directly discharged through process vents and emissions associated from the receipt of electricity. The consumption/usage of natural gas, diesel fuel, electricity and process losses through vents was determined during a feasibility study involving pilot plant testwork, engineering and vendor input for the proposed process equipment. The emissions factors for each energy use were obtained from the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (`NGER') guidelines. The impact of N2O emissions has been included on a CO2 equivalent basis, allowing for catalytic conversion of Project exhaust streams. The alkoxide process is considered the dominant incumbent process for the manufacture of HPA. The feedstock for the process is high purity aluminium metal, which is synthesised to HPA by producing aluminium alkoxide with the addition of alcohol, converting to hydrated alumina by hydrolysis and then HPA is obtained by high temperature calcination. An estimate of the additional carbon dioxide generated by the alkoxide process compared to the Alpha process using the QLD emissions factor of 0.79 (kgCO2-e/kWh) is provided below: 0.79 (kgCO2-e/kWh) x 15.75kWh/kg = 12.44 kg CO2/kg of Al.Recent Insider Transactions • Apr 17Insider recently sold AU$2.5m worth of stockOn the 12th of April, Grey Egerton-Warburton sold around 7m shares on-market at roughly AU$0.37 per share.

New Risk • Jun 12New minor risk - ProfitabilityThe company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: AU$39m Forecast net loss in 3 years: AU$5.4m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$510k revenue, or US$359k). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (AU$5.4m net loss in 3 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (28% increase in shares outstanding).

Robert has been a buyer over the last 12 months, purchasing a net total of AU$125k worth in shares.
New Risk • Mar 15New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 28% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$510k revenue, or US$357k). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (28% increase in shares outstanding).

New Risk • Aug 30New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings have declined by 23% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$76m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 23% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$90k revenue, or US$59k).

공시 • Dec 20Alpha Hpa Limited Provides an Update on Project Activities for Hpa First ProjectThe Board of Alpha HPA Limited provided an update on project activities for its HPA First Project, representing the commercialisation and production of critical high purity aluminium products driving de-carbonisation. The Company's Stage 1, Precursor Production Facility (PPF) in Gladstone, QLD has now been commissioned and is currently in ramp-up phase to full production capacity. The Company is concurrently satisfying the remaining conditions precedent to the full-scale Project Final Investment Decision (FID), with a focus on product sales, offtakes and project financing. Stage 1 - PPF: Commissioning complete - enters ramp-up phase Production of aluminium nitrate (Al-nitrate) during commissioning phase has now reached approximately 16 tonnes, with assays confirming production at the target 5N (99.999%) purity level. Commissioning is now complete and Alpha has shifted to ramp-up and throughput optimisation with a steady increase in process plant throughput from the current ~70% process rate to a target 100% process rate. Al-nitrate production will be paused for one week over the Christmas period to allow for the tie-in of downstream equipment and the conversion of Al-nitrates to high purity alumina (HPA). This will facilitate larger volumes of HPA production to service multiple sample orders from Li-ion battery and sapphire glass end-users. Orders placed for key long-lead equipment for Stage 1 HPA circuit: The first $6.82 million tranche of the $15.5 million grant awarded under the Critical Minerals Development Program (CMDP) has been received and funds and are now being applied to placing orders for key long lead equipment, including: Rotary dryer; Boehmite spray dryer; Boehmite filter press; Al-sulphate Centrifuge; HPA tunnel kiln; HPA tablet press; Sinter oven for HPA tablets (for sapphire glass production). Once fully deployed, the CMDP grant funding will have facilitated: The expansion of Stage 1 PPF production capacity of aluminium nitrate and aluminium sulphate; The capability to produce up to 10tpa of additional capacity of HPA production; The capability to produce up to 10tpa of additional capacity of High Purity Boehmite production; Production of HPA tablets for sapphire glass growth; and installation of a large rooftop solar array and battery storage capacity. Follow-on order for large EU based cathode manufacturer: Following successful low volume (1kg) sample testwork and a related project site visit, Alpha now has received a larger volume (60kg) follow-on order of a specific HPA product for the next stage of qualification with an EU based cathode manufacturer. This order is expected to be completed and shipped by the end of January 2023. Multiple new orders from EU based Li-battery manufacturer: Following a number of meetings and review of Alpha's products and low-carbon process, a large EU based Li-ion battery manufacturer has now ordered four test samples across most of Alpha's product range. These orders will be shipped over December 2022 and early January 2023. The ability to satisfy demand for multiple high purity aluminium products from a single production source is considered a key advantage of Alpha's process and the PPF facility. First nano-HPA sale order for Lumileds: After multiple rounds of sample product testing with leading global LED manufacturer Lumileds, Alpha has received its first minor sale order of nano HPA (5kg). A successful production run of this order by Lumileds is expected to lead to substantially larger production order in 2023. Follow-on high purity aluminium trihydrate orders: In November Alpha delivered its first sample orders for a newly developed product, 4N+ purity aluminium tri-hydroxide (ATH) for a potential high volume application. The counterparty has responded rapidly with an additional order. Another ATH order has been received from an EU battery maker. Each of these samples will be despatched this week. 25kg Al-nitrate order for EU catalysts manufacturer: Alpha supplied quotes for the supply of Al-nitrate to an EU catalysts manufacturer in October 2022. Alpha has now received and serviced a sample test order for 25kg for a qualification production run to complete in January 2023.

Supply bid prices accepted for HPA to Japan-based chemical company: Following successful qualification of Alpha's nano-HPA with a Japanese based chemical company which manufactures specialist materials for the LED sector, Alpha has been notified its supply pricing has been accepted and the parties are now moving to sales contract documentation. Initial product volumes are modest, with an upper 10Mt per annum, however the application is for a premium product, with pricing at the top-end of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) pricing scenarios. Al-sulphate orders for cathode manufacture: Alpha has received and delivered additional high purity aluminium sulphate test orders for a large lithium-ion cathode manufacturer. Supply bids submitted for semiconductor users: Within the last week Alpha has successfully delivered multiple product test orders for high purity boehmite, nano-alumina and high purity aluminium nitrate to end users within the semi-conductor sector.

The Company is concurrently satisfying the remaining conditions precedent to the full-scale Project Final Investment Decision, with a focus on product sales and offtakes and project financing. The Company continues to make strong progress on the Stage 1 PPF component of the HPA First Project, as detailed below: Following mobilisation of earthmoving contractors in November, PPF site clearance has now been completed and excavations are underway in preparation for concrete foundations and underground infrastructure. Over 80% of the contracts for mechanical fabrication and process equipment for the PPF have now been awarded and are in fabrication. The remaining packages to be awarded in January 2022. Early hiring of key employees is underway to support operations readiness for the PPF commissioning. Key utility agreements are in final draft. Alpha maintains an active product marketing program, with a number of engagements now maturing to the commercial stage. In addition, Alpha continues to outreach to new markets and jurisdictions, as well as continuing to receive inbound product test and sales orders. Alpha has recently received and/or satisfied a number of product sales orders. Each of these sales are considered lead orders for potential larger volume contracts. Alpha has completed a sales order for its 5N purity Al-Nitrate precursor for sales into a global research chemical web catalogue. In reaching this arrangement, Alpha is now well placed to receive bulk orders generated from research work from this catalogue. Alpha has commenced sales of its spherical alumina powders following a period of product development. Alpha has completed an initial sale of 5kg of spherical HPA to large Japanese materials company, which will be used for pilot evaluation. The customer has indicated that a successful pilot result is expected to generate a high value product order. The Company is currently manufacturing a 30kg HPA powder order for an Australian domestic customer. A successful application of this order is also expected to generate longer term, high value product orders. Alpha continues to receive product test orders from potential customers. Over the last 3 weeks Alpha has received a further 3 orders, including: Follow on test orders for a Japanese LED phosphor manufacturer; Gamma alumina spheres for a German catalysts manufacturer; and High purity, high dispersible boehmites. Alpha's technical team has recently expanded its range of high purity aluminium products following a product development phase and interface with end-users and research groups. The expanded high purity offering is now forming part of the Company's continued market outreach and further demonstrates the capacity of Alpha's process flexibility. New products developed include: Alpha has now developed ultra-high purity (>99.995%) boehmites with very high dispersibility (>98%). This product has been developed from inbound demand from several potential customers. High dispersible boehmites are used in sol-gel applications in the manufacture of high value, speciality aluminas, including nano-aluminas and alumina for translucent ceramics. Alpha has developed a new spherical gamma alumina powder product in response to both inbound demand from a potential Japanese customer and German based research organisation (FGK Keramik). Gamma alumina is a very high surface area alumina used as a medical and petrochemical catalyst. Product test samples have been despatched to Germany and Japan for testwork. Like a number of other Alpha's product offerings, the Company is not aware of any higher purity gamma alumina products. As a follow on from product testing, qualification and submitted bids into supply contracts, Alpha has materially advanced a number of negotiations with potential customers for the supply of its high purity aluminium products, which include high purity aluminas, boehmites and aluminium precursors. In parallel with the PPF the Company maintains a number of workstreams directed at completing the remaining conditions precedent to the full-scale HPA First Project FID: Alpha has now received final draft reports from the Independent Technical Expert (`ITE' or `Bankers Engineers') as a key component to the lender due diligence.

공시 • May 21the Board of Alpha HPA Limited Provides an Update on HPA First ProjectThe Board of Alpha HPA Limited provided an update on its HPA First Project, representing the evaluation and intended commercialisation of the production of ~10,000tpa equivalent of high purity alumina (HPA) and related products using the Company's proprietary licenced solvent extraction (SX) and HPA refining technology. On 30 April 2021, Alpha announced a Memorandum of Understanding (`MoU') with CleanCo Queensland Limited (`CleanCo')under which Alpha and CleanCo will co-operate on a Renewable Energy Supply Agreement (`REA') for the HPA First Project. The MoU contemplates the supply of up to 100% renewable energy. Alpha has now received an updated model of carbon-dioxide (`CO2') emissions for the proposed HPA First facility, under a range of renewable energy supply scenarios, from Project engineers Prudentia Process Consulting (`PPC'). The model accounts for all direct CO2 emissions and also accounts for N2O as CO2 equivalent emissions. Key outputs of the model are shown in the table below, with the highlight outcome: Using 100% renewable energy, the HPA First Project represents a 59% reduction in CO2 emissions, per unit of HPA produced, over the incumbent HPA manufacturing process (Alkoxide Process). The model has been constructed on a 100% high purity alumina production basis. The pending adoption of additional high purity products into the Project mix, inclusive of the 2 high purity Al-Precursors and boehmite, would further reduce the Project CO2 emissions, due to the reduction in drying and calcination duty. The carbon footprint for the process was estimated by calculating the direct carbon dioxide emissions from burning natural gas and diesel fuel, carbon dioxide directly discharged through process vents and emissions associated from the receipt of electricity. The consumption/usage of natural gas, diesel fuel, electricity and process losses through vents was determined during a feasibility study involving pilot plant testwork, engineering and vendor input for the proposed process equipment. The emissions factors for each energy use were obtained from the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (`NGER') guidelines. The impact of N2O emissions has been included on a CO2 equivalent basis, allowing for catalytic conversion of Project exhaust streams. The alkoxide process is considered the dominant incumbent process for the manufacture of HPA. The feedstock for the process is high purity aluminium metal, which is synthesised to HPA by producing aluminium alkoxide with the addition of alcohol, converting to hydrated alumina by hydrolysis and then HPA is obtained by high temperature calcination. An estimate of the additional carbon dioxide generated by the alkoxide process compared to the Alpha process using the QLD emissions factor of 0.79 (kgCO2-e/kWh) is provided below: 0.79 (kgCO2-e/kWh) x 15.75kWh/kg = 12.44 kg CO2/kg of Al.
