HydroMet $2 Million Profit:
Company Positioned for Sustained Growth
6 September 2005

Australian waste treatment and recycling company HydroMet Corporation Ltd [ASX:
HMC] today announced a net after-tax profit of $2.021 million for the year ending June
2005.

The profit was based on operating revenue of $16.5 million, an increase of $6.8
million, or 70.2%, for the same period last year.
“This year’s profit was made possible as a result of our continuous efforts to establish
a solid foundation for sustainable future profits,” said HydroMet Chairman and
Technical Director Dr Lakshman Jayaweera. “Strong price increases in the world
market for selenium and tellurium during the year, as well as our improved efficiency
and record production of both metals from our New South Wales-based plant, have
contributed significantly to a profitable bottom line.”
“In the growing industrial residue recycling and hazardous waste management field,
HydroMet has a unique advantage that is worth capitalising on. We have a proven
track record in recycling complex industrial residues and hazardous waste, and
immobilising where recycling is not justified.”
HydroMet is moving into its next growth stage with a number of significant assets:
-
proven technology for recycling and immobilisation of industrial residues and
hazardous waste
- strong team of technical experts capable of solving complex residues problems for
our clients
- ownership of two freehold facilities capable of receiving and processing large
quantities of industrial residues and hazardous waste
- client base of international and local blue chip industrial and smelting companies
- strong reputation with regulatory authorities.
“HydroMet is a strong and unique recycling business operating in both local and
overseas markets. It is well positioned for sustained growth by using a broad range of
waste treatment technologies developed by the company,” said Dr Jayaweera.
