Chesnara CEO discusses strong 2024 results, dividend growth and M&A outlook

Chesnara PLC (LSE:CSN) CEO Steve Murray talked to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strong 2024 full-year results, highlighting robust cash generation and consistent dividend growth. Murray highlighted that Chesnara generated £60 million in cash over the year, providing strong dividend coverage and supporting its 20-year track record of uninterrupted dividend growth. The business also increased its overall value and maintained a strong solvency position. The interview also covered Chesnara’s acquisition strategy, with Murray detailing the second Canada Life deal, which delivered an uplift in economic value to £11 million—higher than the £8 million initially expected—off a £2 million consideration. He explained that Chesnara currently holds around £200 million in acquisition firepower, supported by a solvency capital ratio of 203%. Murray described the current M&A pipeline as “positive,” noting that a reduction in private equity competition is opening up new opportunities in the UK and Benelux. He also commented on broader macroeconomic conditions, noting that despite some volatility, Chesnara’s long-term outlook remains stable due to natural hedges and long-duration contracts. Looking ahead to 2025, Murray reiterated Chesnara’s confidence in maintaining dividend growth, underpinned by strong visibility on future cash flows well above required commitments.

Technology Minerals CEO on black mass and Leinster milestones

Technology Minerals CEO Alex Stanbury talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a milestone week for the company, highlighting significant progress in both its recycling operations and exploration asset portfolio. Stanbury discussed the first shipment of black mass from its Recyclus facility to Europe, under an agreement with Glencore. He explained that black mass—a hazardous material containing lithium, cobalt, and nickel—requires complex approvals for cross-border movement. “It’s been a lot of work in the making to get this black mass moved off-site,” Stanbury said, noting this completes a critical part of the company’s business model. He also commented on the importance of the Glencore partnership, stating that “for Glencore to have the faith to work with us…is really important.” This collaboration ensures a consistent offtake of all Recyclus production. Stanbury also confirmed Recyclus is working with Ocado, managing end-of-life batteries from their robotic systems. The company uses its proprietary LiBoxes to safely store and transport used lithium-ion batteries, providing safety and ESG compliance. “We’ve done thousands of batteries for them now and there’s an ongoing maintenance programme,” he added. Finally, Technology Minerals has completed the sale of its Leinster lithium project in Ireland, aligning with its strategy of incubating early-stage assets and moving them up the value curve. The company is now focused on its Spanish project, which benefits from EU interest in critical materials and battery manufacturing. It expects further licenses to be granted soon and aims to seek JV partners to bring the project toward feasibility and production.

Sintana Energy advances Orange Basin portfolio with key exploration updates

Sintana Energy CEO Robert Bose recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a comprehensive update on the company’s Orange Basin assets, highlighting significant progress across PEL 83, PEL 90, PEL 87, and PEL 82. Bose sahred positive results from the Mopane 3-X well on PEL 83, operated by Galp. The well, which targeted new AVO anomalies 10 and 13, delivered better-than-expected results across nearly every parameter, confirming the presence of high-quality oil and condensate. This discovery has the potential to establish a new development hub, positioning PEL 83 as a key asset in the basin. Moving forward, activity will focus on evaluating partnership opportunities, with Galp expected to seek new partners in the coming quarters. The first Chevron-operated well on PEL 90 did not encounter commercial hydrocarbons but was still regarded as a technical success. Bose emphasized the company’s confidence in the exploration potential of the block, noting that the joint venture partners plan to return for further drilling later this year. Bose also provided an update on PEL 87’s Saturn Superfan prospect, where Woodside Energy chose not to proceed after completing a 3D seismic survey. Despite this, Sintana remains highly optimistic and is now in discussions with alternative supermajor partners. “We’re very excited about opening up the doors to larger, potential partners,” Bose stated, highlighting the continued confidence in the asset’s potential. Chevron has officially completed its farm-in at PEL 82, located in the Walvis Basin, paving the way for drilling operations next year. Bose also pointed to the growing political support for oil and gas development in Namibia, with upstream regulatory oversight now moved directly under the President’s office—a move he called “a huge step forward” for the industry. This shift reinforces the government’s commitment to fostering a thriving energy sector that could significantly contribute to national GDP growth. #pro

COSOL Sees U.S. market as key growth driver

COSOL Limited Managing Director Scott McGowan talked with Proactive at AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company’s role in driving operational efficiency across asset-intensive industries. COSOL Limited works with organisations in mining, oil and gas, utilities, and public infrastructure to enhance the performance of their physical assets. McGowan explained the company’s core service as unlocking value by helping clients reduce costs through better asset management. “We look at ways that we can save them real dollars to be able to manage that asset more effectively,” he said. The company’s client list includes major names such as Glencore, Rio Tinto, BHP, and several government departments. COSOL provides the systems and processes behind the scenes to manage these organisations’ equipment and facilities, potentially impacting hundreds of millions in operational costs. Even a 2–3% improvement, McGowan said, “makes a significant difference to their bottom line.” COSOL has grown revenue from AUD 30 million to over AUD 110 million since listing. It is now targeting organic growth in the mid-teens and exploring earnings-accretive acquisitions. McGowan also highlighted COSOL’s presence in the U.S., describing it as the company’s largest potential market, where current operations may be expanded through acquisition. #COSOL #ASXStocks #ScottMcGowan #AssetManagement #MiningTech #Utilities #PublicInfrastructure #OperationalEfficiency #DataSolutions #IndustrialSoftware #GrowthStocks #USExpansion #InvestingInTech -
