Culpeo Minerals Limited (ASX: CPO) - Five-Year Financial Review FY2021-FY2025

An evidence-led review of Culpeo's statutory Australian-dollar results and financing as a Chilean copper explorer. Flow figures span unequal periods at the 2024 year-end transition; balance-sheet figures use actual dates.

FY2021-FY2023: years ended 30 June; TY2024: six months ended 31 December 2024; FY2025: year ended 31 December 2025. The 12 months ended 30 June 2024 are shown separately as an intermediate comparative. · Editorial review: 2026-09-24 · MII Research

Reading the tables: 0 (nil) is a supported zero. Other text distinguishes an amount included in another line, a non-applicable item, a separately unavailable component and an unresolved value. These are not interchangeable. Period-specific detail is labelled; complete year-by-year detail remains available.

Five years in context

Culpeo remained an exploration-stage copper group with no evidenced external customer sales. The major financial pattern is recurring statutory losses and operating/investing cash outflows funded mainly by equity raisings, while capitalised exploration assets grew. Other revenue is reported income, not evidence of copper sales.

The 2024 annual package contains both a 12-month period to 30 June 2024 and a separate six-month transition to 31 December 2024. Those flow measures are not directly comparable to a full year. The selected FY2025 financial statements identify the following column as the year ended 31 December 2025, resolving the frozen narrative's conflicting six-month wording; the intermediate June 2024 cash and exploration figures are preserved in separate bridge tables.

Exploration spending was accompanied by project portfolio changes: Lana Corina and Fortuna entered the portfolio, while some exploration balances were later written off or impaired. These are disclosed project and accounting events; the data do not establish commercial production or a revenue forecast.

Events behind the numbers

FY2021

Pre-IPO Chilean project build-out

Culpeo expanded Las Petacas and acquired the San Sebastian project through Atacama Holdings; the 11:2 share consolidation took effect in May 2021. The September 2021 ASX listing is a subsequent FY2022 event.

FY2022

ASX listing and Lana Corina entry

The September 2021 IPO raised A$6.0m before costs. Culpeo began drilling at Las Petacas and entered the Lana Corina option in March 2022.

FY2023

Lana Corina drilling and funding

Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling advanced Lana Corina, while the year included entitlement/shortfall raisings. The FY2023 auditor identified material uncertainty related to going concern.

TY2024

Six-month year-end transition

The financial year-end moved from 30 June to 31 December, producing a six-month period to 31 December 2024. The issuer warned that the transition and prior 12-month comparative are not entirely comparable.

FY2025

December full year and placement funding

The first full December year reported A$4.47m cash proceeds from share issues and an A$1.81m after-tax loss. Jupiter exploration ceased and the related capitalised balance was impaired.

FINANCIAL REVIEW / 01

Statutory performance

The loss series is statutory and consolidated. The six-month transition and the FY2025 full year require the different duration labels shown in the table and chart.

The FY2023 reported loss per share is retained as printed. Its saved EPS note and profit-or-loss attribution give different owner-loss numerators, and neither reconciles the printed cents-per-share amount with the reported weighted-average shares. The selected evidence therefore does not establish a corrected FY2023 EPS basis.

Loss per share is a period flow measure; weighted average share counts differ from closing shares on issue.

The FY2021 selected EPS table prints both (6.23) cents and 57,503,695 weighted-average shares with a A$1,182,269 loss; those figures do not arithmetically reconcile as printed. Both source values are retained without a fabricated correction.

FY2023 is also printed as (3.87) cents with 67,132,343 weighted-average shares. The saved EPS table and profit-or-loss table give conflicting owner-loss numerator bases; no corrected EPS is inferred.

Cash flow and the year-end bridge

Equity proceeds funded operating and exploration cash requirements. The 12 months to 30 June 2024 are shown below as an intermediate comparative so that the later six-month transition is not mistaken for that full-year interval.

The TY2024 and FY2025 statements report generic project option and earn-in cash payments without identifying Petacas, Quelon or Lana Corina components. Those named cells are presentation-limited, not nil or proved included. Share proceeds and issue costs are cash flows; noncash equity issues are excluded.

The selected-project-payments row combines only the named cash outflows actually disclosed: Petacas in FY2021; Petacas, Quelon and Lana Corina in FY2022; Lana Corina in FY2023; and the issuer combined option/earn-in line in TY2024 and FY2025. It is not a complete all-project spending total, and TY2024 is six months.

FINANCIAL REVIEW / 04

Capital structure and shareholder returns

For FY2021 through the six-month TY2024 period, Culpeo explicitly reported no dividend paid, declared or recommended. The FY2025 declaration and recommendation position is not established by the selected evidence. Financing came chiefly through share placements and the earlier IPO; share issue proceeds and costs are visible in the cash-flow table, while closing share counts and capital carrying amounts are shown here.

FINANCIAL REVIEW / 05

Exploration asset and project context

The capitalised exploration asset is an accrual balance. Its annual additions and impairments are distinct from cash payments for exploration and option interests. The FY2025 package records the Jupiter impairment after exploration ceased.

AUD asset movements, separate from cash investing payments. The TY2024 opening balance is the June 2024 closing asset; the FY2025 opening balance is the December 2024 closing asset.

The FY2025 Note 4 heading prints 7,104,929, while its roll-forward closes at 7,102,930 and the balance sheet uses 7,102,930. The displayed close follows the roll-forward and balance sheet; the heading discrepancy remains a source limitation.

Reading the figures

  • Five selected annual reports are represented, but FY2024 is a six-month transition after an intervening 12 months to 30 June 2024; flow comparisons must use the displayed durations.
  • The FY2025 Note 4 heading prints A$7,104,929, whereas its roll-forward and statement of financial position close at A$7,102,930; the latter is displayed and the inconsistency is retained. FY2025 total current assets prints '2,090.499'; the displayed A$2,090,499 is the exact sum of cash and receivables.
  • FY2021 EPS, weighted shares and loss do not arithmetically reconcile as printed in the selected EPS table. The FY2023 selected EPS table and profit-or-loss attribution supply conflicting numerator bases; printed FY2023 EPS is retained with an explicit qualification.
  • The selected FY2025 evidence does not establish whether a dividend was declared or recommended; the no-dividend statement is limited to FY2021 through TY2024.
  • No raw annual body or PDF was examined in this source-limited report.
  • The selected-project-payments row is a union of disclosed project cash lines with changing project mix and a six-month TY2024 period; it is not a complete or like-for-like all-project spending trend. Earlier named component rows and later combined rows remain visible.
