Robert Bishop
Chief Executive Officer

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today for today’s presentation. I’m Rob Bishop, Chief Executive Officer of the New Hope Group. I’m joined by Rebecca Rinaldi, our CFO; and Dominic O’Brien, Executive General Manager and Company Secretary.

Before we begin, I would like to touch upon the escalating conflict in Iran and across the Middle East. The loss of civilian life and the scale of displacement are deeply distressing. The conflict has hardened concerns around global energy security, contributing to increased volatility across the energy markets, including upward pressure on coal price. The company is closely monitoring the situation and assessing how these developments may impact our operations, markets and broader business outlook, ensuring we respond in a measured and responsible manner. Further updates will be provided in future reporting.

This morning, we released our half year results for the 2026 financial year. Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to go through the presentation. But in any case, I’ll step you through our key highlights before we open up the lines for the Q&A session.

Over the last 6 months, we have seen an unfavorable movement in our 12-month moving average TRIFR, which has increased from 3.22 to 3.8. The safety of our people remains our highest priority, and we are implementing targeted measures to address this trend. Despite a period of recovery at Bengalla Mine, the group maintains saleable coal production volumes compared to the previous period, thanks to the continued ramp-up of operations at New Acland Mine.

NEW ORLEANS — The Savannah Bananas transformed the Caesars Superdome into a baseball carnival over the weekend, drawing back-to-back sold-out crowds of approximately 70,000 fans each night in their first-ever appearance in the Crescent City. The March 14 and 15, 2026, games against the Party Animals marked a milestone for the viral sensation known as Banana Ball, blending exhibition-style baseball with entertainment that rivals major concert acts.

The Superdome, home to the New Orleans Saints and previously host to Super Bowls and massive music tours, had not seen a baseball event of this scale in more than two decades. The Bananas’ arrival turned the iconic dome into a vibrant, interactive spectacle, complete with dancing umpires, choreographed routines, celebrity cameos and a ruleset designed for maximum fun rather than traditional baseball purity.

Saturday’s game kicked off at 7 p.m. CT with first pitch delayed slightly for pre-game festivities that included a pre-party live show starting at 10 a.m. in Champion’s Square. Fans lined up early, many donning banana-themed attire, yellow face paint and beads in a nod to New Orleans culture. The event featured the Bananas’ signature elements: two-minute innings, no walks (runners start on second base after four balls), fan interference encouraged in certain zones and nonstop music and dancing between plays.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, fresh off his rookie season, made a special appearance as a first-time participant. Shough joined run-throughs with the team and took part in on-field antics, delighting the home crowd. “Fired up to have those guys because they’re difference makers,” one report quoted a team perspective on the celebrity involvement.

Sunday’s matinee started at 3:30 p.m. (with some listings noting 1 p.m. or 3 p.m. gates), delivering another high-energy performance. Between innings, players traded bats for dance moves, mascots like Split the banana conducted crowd interactions — including a memorable gender reveal stunt — and the atmosphere stayed electric throughout.

Both nights sold out rapidly after tickets went on sale, joining an elite list of acts to achieve consecutive sellouts at the venue. Only Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, U2, Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks and the Rolling Stones had previously accomplished the feat on back-to-back nights. The Bananas’ draw underscores their explosive growth from a semi-pro team in Savannah, Georgia, to a global entertainment brand with millions of social media followers.

Banana Ball emphasizes entertainment over competition. Games typically last about two hours, with the team playing “against” rivals like the Party Animals, Firefighters or Coconuts in a touring format. The Savannah Bananas lead the pack in the Banana Ball Championship League, which expanded to six teams for 2026. The full league championship is slated for Oct. 1-4 at Grayson Stadium in Savannah.

The 2026 Banana Ball World Tour spans 75 stadiums across 45 states, kicking off in late February. The Bananas’ portion of the schedule includes high-profile stops, with recent and upcoming dates showcasing their coast-to-coast appeal.

Key upcoming Savannah Bananas games from the tour include:

– March 14: vs. Party Animals at Caesars Superdome, New Orleans, LA (completed, sold out)
– March 15: vs. Party Animals at Caesars Superdome, New Orleans, LA (completed, sold out)
– March (later dates): Stops at Dickey-Stephens Park in Little Rock, AR, and Dell Diamond in Round Rock, TX (March 14-15 weekend overlaps noted in some listings, but New Orleans focused on 14-15)
– Additional March/April dates feature matchups against Firefighters, Coconuts and others in various venues

The tour continues through the summer and fall, with notable returns to venues like Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati (June 19-21, expanded to three games after 2025 sellouts) and Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas (Sept. 25-27).

The Bananas’ success stems from their innovative approach. Founded in 2016 as part of the Coastal Plain League, the team pivoted to exhibition entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic, going viral on platforms like TikTok and YouTube with trick plays, fan participation and over-the-top celebrations. Their games now average massive attendance, often outdrawing minor league baseball crowds and rivaling major events.

In New Orleans, the debut resonated strongly. Local media highlighted the fusion of Banana Ball’s absurdity with the city’s festive spirit. Fans expressed excitement over the family-friendly vibe, quick pace and inclusion of elements like stilts-walking players and “dad bod” cheer squads. One attendee described it as “running away with the circus,” capturing the chaotic joy.

Ticket access for future events remains competitive. The 2026 tour’s ticket lottery list closed in October 2025, with direct sales handled through official channels starting at $35. Fans are encouraged to join interest lists early for high-demand stops.

As Banana Ball grows, the Bananas continue to push boundaries. Their Superdome takeover proved the format can fill NFL stadiums, hinting at even larger ambitions. Whether through viral moments, celebrity crossovers or sheer entertainment value, the Savannah Bananas have turned baseball into a must-see show.

With the weekend’s success in New Orleans setting a high bar, the tour rolls on, bringing its brand of joyful chaos to new cities. For fans who missed the Superdome spectacle, plenty of opportunities remain on the 2026 calendar to catch the Bananas in action.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — March 16 has become an unofficial holiday in professional wrestling circles, known as **3:16 Day**, a celebration of one of the most iconic moments and catchphrases in WWE history: “Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!” delivered by **Stone Cold Steve Austin** after his breakthrough victory at the 1996 King of the Ring tournament.

The date — 3/16 — directly ties to the promo that propelled Austin from mid-card talent to global superstar, igniting the Attitude Era and reshaping WWE’s landscape. In 2026, marking the 30th anniversary of that legendary speech, the buzz has intensified as Monday Night Raw airs live from the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas — Austin’s home state — on the very day fans dub “3:16 Day.” Reports indicate WWE has held discussions with the Hall of Famer about a possible appearance, fueling speculation about what the Texas Rattlesnake might do if the glass shatters once again.

Austin’s famous line came immediately after he defeated Jake “The Snake” Roberts in the King of the Ring finals on June 23, 1996, in Milwaukee. In a post-match interview, Austin seized the microphone and unleashed a blistering promo that mocked Roberts’ religious faith while declaring his dominance: “You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn’t get you anywhere! Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16… Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!”

The phrase cleverly parodied the popular Bible verse John 3:16, turning it into a rebellious, anti-authority slogan that resonated with fans during a time when WWE sought edgier content. “Austin 3:16” quickly became merchandise gold, printed on T-shirts that sold millions and helped Austin capture six WWE championships, three Royal Rumble wins and induction into the Hall of Fame in 2009.

WWE officially recognizes March 16 as **Austin 3:16 Day**, encouraging fans to celebrate with cold beers, catchphrases and rewatches of classic moments. This year’s milestone has prompted special tributes, including a limited-edition collectible auction with Ghostwrite featuring a 400% scale “Stone Cold” figure, and interviews where Austin reflected on the promo’s lasting impact.

In a recent exclusive with Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown, Austin discussed the promo’s origins, his career risks and the current WWE product, noting how the line captured lightning in a bottle. He emphasized taking chances in the ring and on the mic, crediting the moment for shifting his trajectory.

As 3:16 Day coincides with Raw in 2026, speculation has reached fever pitch. Multiple reports from sources like WrestleVotes, WhatCulture and Ringside News indicate WWE officials are “very hopeful” Austin will appear. Conversations have taken place, though nothing is confirmed. His last Raw cameo came in 2020 during the pandemic era at the Performance Center with Becky Lynch, and his most recent live in-arena moment was at WrestleMania 41, where he drove a four-wheeler and cracked open beers.

If Austin shows up tonight, possibilities abound. Predictions from outlets like Last Word on Sports suggest he could deliver Stunners to heels like Austin Theory or Logan Paul-inspired characters, share beers with fan favorites such as LA Knight, or even mediate tensions in ongoing storylines involving CM Punk, Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar’s open challenges. A confrontation with Gunther or involvement in The Vision angle has also been floated as ways to “raise hell” on the Road to WrestleMania 42.

Austin, now in his 60s, has been cautious about in-ring returns. In recent interviews, including one with Chris Van Vliet, he acknowledged his body could handle “one more” match but downplayed the likelihood. Jim Ross, on his Grilling JR podcast, recently shut down hype for a WrestleMania 42 bout, stating expectations are overblown. Yet the pull of nostalgia, especially on a symbolic date in his home state, keeps doors open for non-wrestling segments that electrify crowds.

The timing feels perfect for WWE. With WrestleMania 42 set for Las Vegas in April, a 3:16 Day appearance could serve as a massive hype injection, drawing huge ratings and social media buzz. Fans have flooded platforms like Instagram, Threads and X with celebrations, cracking open beers in Austin’s honor and sharing clips of the original promo.

Whether Austin steps through the curtain tonight or not, 3:16 Day endures as a testament to his revolutionary influence. The promo didn’t just launch a career — it defined an era, shifted WWE from family-friendly programming to attitude-driven entertainment and proved a single line could change everything.

As the Frost Bank Center awaits potential glass-shattering music, the wrestling world watches closely. If “Stone Cold” Steve Austin does appear, expect pandemonium — and plenty of beer baths. And that’s the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so.

LOS ANGELES — At 41 years old, LeBron James continues to rewrite the boundaries of NBA longevity, delivering All-Star caliber performances in his 23rd season with the Los Angeles Lakers and leaving fans, analysts and league executives wondering just how much longer the four-time champion can sustain his elite level of play.

Born Dec. 30, 1984, James turned 41 during the 2025-26 campaign, making him the oldest active player in the league. Yet his statistics show minimal decline: through 46 games this season, he is averaging 21.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game while shooting 50.5% from the field and playing nearly 33 minutes per contest. The Lakers hold a solid 26-18 record (or similar strong mark) with James in the lineup, positioning them as a competitive force in the Western Conference.

James exercised his $52.6 million player option last summer to return for 2025-26, the final year of a two-year, $101.3 million deal signed with the Lakers. That decision extended his career to a record-tying 23rd season and positioned him to become the first player in NBA history to play into his mid-40s at such a high level. As his current contract expires this summer, speculation has intensified about whether 2025-26 marks his farewell tour or merely another chapter.

James has remained characteristically cryptic about his future. In February ahead of the 2026 NBA All-Star Game — where he earned selection for a record-extending 22nd time, though his streak as a starter ended after 21 years — he told reporters, “When I know, you guys will know.” He has not committed to retirement nor ruled out a return.

Recent reports suggest optimism persists around the league. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst noted in late 2025 that the Lakers “don’t know” if James will retire after this season, while Vincent Goodwill reported in February 2026 that belief exists James won’t hang up his sneakers this offseason. Sources indicate the league has not begun planning a formal farewell celebration — as it did for legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — because insiders expect him back for at least one more year.

Yahoo Sports reported in early March 2026 that the Lakers would welcome James for a 24th season if he chooses to continue, with one potential timeline pointing to him playing “couple more years” at a high level, as he hinted in a January interview. James has joked in the past about extending his career even further, though his focus remains on contending for championships rather than chasing milestones.

His sustained excellence stems from meticulous preparation, elite conditioning and basketball IQ that compensates for any physical erosion. Advanced metrics underscore his impact: true shooting percentage around 58.7%, positive plus-minus contributions and leadership that keeps the Lakers in playoff contention. Even in recent games, such as a March matchup against the Denver Nuggets, James posted 16 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in 34 minutes, showing he can still dominate when needed.

The father-son dynamic adds another layer to his potential extension. James and his son Bronny made history in 2024 as the first father-son duo to share an NBA court with the Lakers. While Bronny’s role remains developmental, the shared experience has provided emotional fuel. LeBron has spoken warmly about playing alongside his son, a milestone that could influence decisions about prolonging his career.

Financial incentives also factor in. Reports from February 2026 projected James could earn $40 million to $75 million from streaming rights tied to a potential farewell tour, even if he opts for a veteran minimum deal on a contender. Off-court earnings from endorsements, production ventures and media opportunities dwarf his NBA salary, reducing pressure to retire for financial reasons.

Physical durability remains the biggest variable. James has avoided major injuries in recent years, but the wear of 23 seasons — over 1,500 regular-season games and deep playoff runs — accumulates. At his age, recovery times lengthen, and minor ailments could prompt a reevaluation. Yet his game has evolved: fewer drives to the rim, more efficient mid-range and perimeter shooting, plus playmaking that keeps defenses guessing.

League executives and former players marvel at the feat. Taj Gibson, the second-oldest active player at 40, trails James significantly in minutes and impact. Historical comparisons to Abdul-Jabbar (who played until 42) or Vince Carter (until 43) highlight James’ outlier status — he combines volume, efficiency and winning pedigree unmatched by most late-career stars.

If James returns for 2026-27, he would enter his age-42 season as a free agent, likely prioritizing a contending roster. The Lakers’ front office has signaled openness to re-signing him, potentially at a reduced rate to build around younger talent. A return to the Cleveland Cavaliers has surfaced in rumors, offering narrative closure, though loyalty to Los Angeles — where he won his fourth title in 2020 — runs deep.

For now, James focuses on the present: chasing another deep playoff run and savoring moments with teammates, family and fans. His career already stands among the greatest — four championships, four MVPs, all-time leading scorer — yet the question lingers: How much longer can the King reign?

As March unfolds and the postseason nears, every performance carries added weight. Whether this season ends his run or launches another, LeBron James’ pursuit of excellence continues to captivate the basketball world. The final decision rests with him — and when he knows, the NBA will know.
