REGIS RECORDS $201M (PRE TAX) PROFIT
The board of Regis Resources Limited is pleased to announce a profit before tax of
$200.7 million and profit after tax of
$145.7 million for the year ended 30 June 2013.
The profit before tax result of $200.7 million was up 168% on the prior year. This
was a strong result given that operations only commenced at the Garden Well
Gold Mine in September 2012 and accordingly the result only included three
quarters of gold production from the project.
Profit after tax, at $145.7 million, was 114% on the prior year. The current year result was subject to an income tax
expense of $55.0 million even though there is no income tax payable in relation to
the 2013 result as carried forward tax losses will be utilised to fully offset the income tax expense.
The board of directors has declared a maiden dividend of 15 cent per share, fully
franked. The record date for the dividend is 14 October 2013 and the dividend will
be paid on 25 October 2013.
