- Net cash used in operating activities – AUD 1.069 million

Quarterly Cash Flow Overview
Tlou Energy Limited has released its quarterly cash flow report for the period ending 30 September 2025, revealing a net cash outflow from operating activities of AUD 1.069 million. The company also spent AUD 567,000 on investing activities, primarily related to exploration and evaluation. Despite these outflows, Tlou Energy successfully raised AUD 2.37 million through an equity issuance during the quarter, bolstering its cash position.
Liquidity and Funding Position
At the end of the quarter, Tlou Energy held AUD 937,000 in cash and cash equivalents, a significant increase from AUD 210,000 at the previous quarter's close. The company also has an unsecured loan facility of AUD 5 million, with AUD 4.328 million drawn down. Combining cash on hand and unused financing facilities, Tlou Energy estimates it has approximately AUD 1.6 million available to fund operations.
Funding Runway and Capital Strategy
Despite the recent capital raise, the company estimates its available funding will cover just one quarter of its current expenditure levels. Tlou Energy acknowledges this tight runway and is actively seeking additional capital to support ongoing operations. Discussions with third-party investors are underway, with some indicating willingness to provide funding. The company’s largest shareholder, ILC Investments Pty Ltd, has also committed to supporting near-term objectives, alongside a Data Centre partner who has pledged partial funding for planned operations.
Operational Outlook
Tlou Energy expects to maintain its current level of expenditure in the near term. The company remains confident it can continue operations and meet business objectives based on ongoing investor discussions and shareholder support. However, the limited funding horizon underscores the urgency of securing additional capital to avoid operational disruptions.
Looking Ahead
While the equity raise provides a short-term boost, Tlou Energy’s financial position highlights the challenges faced by exploration entities balancing cash burn with capital raising. Investors will be watching closely for updates on the company’s capital raising efforts and any operational developments that could impact its financial trajectory.
Bottom Line?
Tlou Energy’s immediate capital raise offers relief, but the company’s funding runway remains precariously short, making upcoming financing efforts critical.
Questions in the middle?
- What are the timelines and certainty around Tlou Energy’s ongoing capital raising efforts?
- How will the company adjust operations if additional funding is delayed or insufficient?
- Are there any upcoming project milestones or partnerships that could improve cash flow visibility?
