Customer Receipts Provide Financial Momentum

The increase in quarterly receipts represents a notable improvement in cash inflows from customers as Clean TeQ Water continues to deliver projects across industrial and resource-related water treatment applications.

The company's operating model combines proprietary water-treatment technologies with project engineering and delivery. Its portfolio includes solutions for wastewater treatment, desalination, phosphate removal and tailings dewatering, giving it exposure to customers operating across mining, metals and other industrial sectors.

The positive operating cash flow reported for the quarter also means the increase in customer receipts translated into cash generation at the operating level. Government grants and Research and Development tax incentives contributed a further AUD$0.33 million during the quarter.

Rasp Mine Contract Expands Tailings Treatment Activity

During Q4 FY26, Clean TeQ Water was awarded an ATA® Tailings Dewatering Plant contract for the Rasp Mine in Broken Hill.

Tailings dewatering is an important application within Mining operations, where water separation can form part of efforts to manage tailings materials and recover or recycle water. The contract adds another project to Clean TeQ Water's resource-sector activity and demonstrates the application of its treatment technology in an operating mining environment.

The company continues to develop its presence in mining and industrial water management, where treatment requirements can vary according to ore characteristics, process water chemistry and environmental requirements.

PHOSPHIX and DESALX Projects Progress

Clean TeQ Water completed process validation on its PHOSPHIX phosphate removal plant during the quarter. The technology is designed for removal of phosphorus from water and wastewater streams, with the completed validation representing another stage in its technology development and deployment process.

The company is also progressing Phase 2 of its execution contract with Nyrstar for a full-scale DESALX wastewater treatment system at the company's Balen operations in Belgium.

DESALX forms part of Clean TeQ Water's technology portfolio for industrial wastewater treatment. Continued execution of the Belgian project provides an international component to the company's current project pipeline.

Sunrise Energy Metals Engineering Advances

Engineering revisions for Sunrise Energy Metals also progressed during the quarter, with the first phase of revisions completed.

The project adds to Clean TeQ Water's exposure to major industrial processing and resource developments. Engineering activity is an important component of project execution because treatment systems must be integrated into broader production, water-management and environmental infrastructure.

The range of projects underway means quarterly financial performance can reflect the timing of contract milestones, engineering work, equipment delivery and customer payments.

Cash Position Strengthens

Clean TeQ Water ended June with AUD$8.7 million in cash reserves, compared with AUD$6.8 million at the end of March. The increase occurred alongside positive net operating cash flow of AUD$1.75 million.

The company also reported a net trade receivable, payable and contract-asset position of approximately AUD$232,000. Combined with customer receipts and government support, these figures provide the current financial context for the company's project execution activities.

Clean TeQ Water had 88.5 million ordinary shares on issue at 30 June, together with 884,000 options, 6.4 million performance rights and 1 million convertible notes.
