Contango Ore - Earnings Call - Q4 2024
March 17, 2025
Executive Summary
- CTGO’s Manh Choh first year of production materially outperformed guidance: 41,325 oz gold sold (30% share) vs 30–35k guided, at $1,209/oz cash cost and $2,281/oz blended realized price; FY2024 net loss was $38.0M (−$3.49/sh) driven by non‑cash hedge MTM losses despite $26.3M total income from operations and $40.5M JV cash distributions.
- 2025 production guidance maintained at ~60,000 oz (30% share); AISC updated to ~$1,625/oz for 2025 and ~$1,400/oz LOM (from $1,116/oz in TRS) due to bridge weight restrictions, higher ore moisture limiting haulage (~20% below TRS plan), and higher processing costs; at $2,500/oz gold, 2025 JV cash distributions to CTGO projected at ~$50M.
- Balance sheet de-risking advanced: principal reduced to $52.1M at YE, then to $38.3M on Jan 31, 2025; hedge book cut to 86,739 oz at YE with 37,861 oz delivered/settled; facility amended to defer $10.6M principal and 15,000 oz hedges to H1’27 and extend maturity to Jun 30, 2027.
- Near-term catalysts: (1) Johnson Tract PEA “in the next few weeks” (management allowed it may slip into April), (2) Q1 2025 campaign cost print mid‑May indicative of 2025 cost curve, and (3) continued debt/hedge run‑off; management highlights 2027–2028 as strong unhedged, low-cost years.
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Production beat: 41,325 oz gold sold (CTGO 30% share) versus 30–35k guided as higher‑grade stockpiles ran through Fort Knox; cash cost $1,209/oz and blended realized $2,281/oz; $40.5M JV distributions to CTGO in 2024.
- Balance sheet/hedge progress: principal down to $38.3M by Jan 31, 2025; hedge balance cut 30% to 86,739 oz; facility amended to better match campaigns and extend maturity to 6/30/27.
- CEO tone: “Gold production at the Manh Choh mine surpassed 2024 guidance…our focus has been and continues to be paying down the debt and hedge obligations…we continue to guide to 60,000 ounces…well‑positioned financially”.
What Went Wrong
- Non‑cash hedge MTM drove GAAP loss: FY2024 net loss $38.0M included $34.3M unrealized derivative loss; realized hedge losses were $19.9M, masking underlying cash generation.
- Cost outlook reset: 2025 AISC guided to ~$1,625/oz and LOM to ~$1,400/oz (from $1,116/oz TRS) due to Chena Bridge weight limits, higher ore moisture curbing haulage (~20%) and higher processing costs.
- Operational headwinds emerged late: weight limits and moisture content constrained throughput vs TRS plan, requiring a lender/hedge reschedule and deferrals into 2027 to align with the realigned campaign cadence.

Operator (participant)
Today, I saw some early rising Australians on the list, so thank you very much for joining us. I appreciate particularly everybody joining us on St. Patrick's Day for a corporate update and Q&A session from Contango Ore related to this morning's press release regarding 2024 earnings. I'm joined today by the company's President and CEO, Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, and CFO, Mike Clark. Gentlemen, thank you for joining me.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Good to see you again, Romeo.
Operator (participant)
Awesome. Here is how today's going to work for the folks in the room. I'm first going to throw it to Rick for just a quick rundown of today's news, and then I've got some questions I'll be posing to both speakers. After that, though, we are eager to take questions from the audience. This is an interactive event, so please use that chat button on the bottom right of your screen. If for whatever reason we don't get to your question today, or if it's been covered in a previous event, et cetera, all good. I'm going to send that chat transcript to the Contango team and look it back to you as soon as possible. Last piece of housekeeping: today's event is also being recorded and will be available probably late this afternoon on both six.com and also our YouTube channel. That's enough out of me. I'm going to throw it to Rick to get to the protein of today's event.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Thanks, Romeo, and thanks everybody for joining us on St. Patrick's Day. We put out our annual one-year news release on our activities for the year for 2024. It's been a good year, I think. We produced more gold than we had planned originally, and our cash costs came in just a little, just a slight bit over our guidance of $1,200 an ounce. I think, you know, overall, 2024 was a good year for production getting Manh Choh up and running. We started production in July, produced just a little shy of 42,000 ounces, and, as I said, that good cash cost. You know, for an annual report, I think it's been a good year for us. We are off and running for 2025.
We can certainly talk more about that, but we're in the middle of our actually probably about two-thirds of the way through the first batch of gold core for 2025 and have three more planned for the year with a total projected gold production of about 60,000 ounces. That's a quick introduction. Today's release on our year-end results are mostly for Mike to take credit for, so I'm sure there'll be lots of questions for Mike on that. Romeo, we'll just open it up for the Q&A.
Operator (participant)
Awesome. Sounds great. Like I said, I got a couple of questions to run through first. I did want to ask a question. What were the factors, directly, that led Manh Choh to exceed that production guidance by over 25% in 2024? Just how did that come to be is really my question.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Yeah, so I'll start and maybe ask Mike to join in from his perspective. But, you know, basically, we've been transporting ore from the mine site since November of 2023. So we had a 2024 had a whole year of transporting ore. And of course, we started mining in July of 2023. So, you know, mining and stockpiling ore at the Manh Choh site. You know, being a direct shipping ore model, it's not your typical mine and mill startup as you typically see in a mining milling operation. We started mining. We started stockpiling ore at Manh Choh, and then in November, we started hauling the ore to the mill site at Fort Knox. Now, we didn't start with all 60 trucks. We had to build up for that. So if there was a ramp-up period, that was kind of the ramp-up period.
Bottom line, there was more ore delivered to the stockpile at Fort Knox than anticipated by the feasibility study. When there's higher-grade ore on the stockpile at Fort Knox, they're pretty much always going to run it through the mill because you're running seven or eight-gram material versus 0.6 or 0.5-gram material from Fort Knox. Obviously, you always run better grade when you have it available, and that's what we did. We ended up producing about 10,000 ounces more than sort of the middle of our plan. We had always guided 30,000-35,000 ounces, and we produced, like I said, just shy of, was it 41,300, I think it was. Yeah, it was the total number. We still had some gold that we sold from the 2024 batch processing, the final processing in November, that we actually sold in 2025. Just kind of sticking to the basic numbers. Maybe, Mike, you want to go through the official numbers?
Michael Clark (CFO)
Yeah. The only thing I'd add to that is, you know, originally, the feasibility study had five batches or five campaigns in 2025, starting in January and ending in December. They pulled kind of half of the batch in 2024, was kind of pulled from 2025, and then they've realigned the campaigns to kind of be the middle month of each quarter for 2025. That was part of the reason there was extra production in 2024.
Operator (participant)
Great. No, appreciate that extra context. It's helpful. One thing I've got for you, Mike, with positive operating cash flow in 2024, what is the cash flow projection for 2025, but then also beyond that?
Michael Clark (CFO)
Yeah, yeah, there's positive cash flow from operations for 2024. When you drop below that line, all the excess cash is effectively going towards paying down debt and delivering to the hedges. For 2025 and 2026, it's mostly planned that all the free cash flow that comes out of operations is basically paying down the debt and then delivering to the hedges so that ultimately we can hopefully be, our goal is to be debt-free and hedge-free by the end of 2026. With the restructure, we have the ability now to push those into the first half of 2027.
Operator (participant)
Great. I got a number of questions that came in over email. Mike, if you do not mind, I will just kind of rapid-fire shoot them at you. First one that came through is, is the hedge coming off once you pay off your debt?
Michael Clark (CFO)
Yeah, the hedge delivery schedule kind of mirrors the principal repayment schedule. Both of those mature as of the restructure. Both those mature in June 2027. From a principal perspective, the bulk of that is being paid down this year. We should finish the year around $15 million left on the principal repayments that would get paid out into 2027 after that. Hedge deliveries, we plan to kind of cut in half by the end of this year. There are 86,000 ounces of hedge gold remaining as of the end of 2024. We expect to finish the year around 43,000 ounces of hedges remaining. Those are paid down again in 2026 and into early 2027.
Operator (participant)
Great. Somebody also asked if you could just, and I know I think this was covered in PRs, but it's always good to reiterate. Can you just say how much Contango had in debt at the start of 2024 and how much it finished with and how much you project to come off this year?
Michael Clark (CFO)
Yeah, okay. So thinking back, we started 2024 with, or in July of 2024, we had $60 million of debt. We paid down just under $8 million in 2024, bringing the debt balance to $52 million. We since made just under $14 million principal repayment in January. The debt's down at roughly $38 million as of today. We expect to finish the year at about $15 million of debt remaining. The hedge deliveries, we started with 124,000 ounces of gold hedges, and we finished the year at 86,000 ounces of hedges remaining. We delivered about just under 38,000 ounces towards the hedges on effectively 42,000 ounces of gold production. We were aggressive in delivering into that.
Operator (participant)
Great. I saw in the PR, there's an interesting way to think about it, but I'd love if we could just reiterate it here, is what percentage of the mine life is unhedged overall?
Michael Clark (CFO)
Yeah. Originally, you know, the way we looked at it when the debt was restructured, it was always supposed to kind of be about 65% hedged during the term of the loan. For the life of mine, it was supposed to be about 40%. How we look at it and where we're at today, because of what we've delivered and the extended mine life or extended ore haul plan, we are roughly 35% hedged, 65% unhedged for the life of mine. As I said, we're going to deliver into those hedges mostly between now and the end of 2026. After that, we're totally unhedged and no debt.
Operator (participant)
Great. No, appreciate that.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
I'll just throw in that 2027, 2028 are big banner years. Not only are we unhedged, but you're the line's way through the mining phase of the project. You have mined a lot and you have a big stockpile sitting at Manh Choh. It is really about the ore haul plan then. Relatively, if you're not paying for a lot of mining that's going on, your ROI and sustaining costs are going to be very low. I think they'll be in the $1,000-$1,100 range at that time.
Operator (participant)
I'm going to jump a couple of questions in the chat just because they're right on topic. I'm just going to loop them in. Tate from the Maxen Group asks if you continue to expect the 2025 AISC of $1,625 per ounce.
Michael Clark (CFO)
Yeah, we have no information to change that. You know, I think what you're going to see is we're going to finish this campaign in Q1. We should have all the costs for that campaign in Q1. When we put out those results in mid-May, you should get a good indication of what our cost will be. It'll be somewhere hopefully between $1,200 and $1,600 on the cash cost for AISC. We kind of use the term AISC as what came out of the feasibility study, but cash cost is how we report it in our financials. Our cash costs are pretty much fully baked costs, and there's not really many other costs that would be added to it for AISC. We finished the year at $1,209 for cash costs and effectively AISC for 2024. Like I said, 2025 should be somewhere between that and the $1,600 we guided on.
Operator (participant)
Great. He also asked what was the realized loss on derivative contracts in 2024 of $19.9 million?
Michael Clark (CFO)
2024. We had a $20 million loss on the realized on the hedges. That is really what happens when you deliver into a hedge, that becomes a realized loss. Otherwise, there is a component that is kind of your mark-to-market or your fair value you do at the end of each period. That total was $35 million at the end of 2024. Combined is $54 million.
Operator (participant)
Right. That makes sense. If you've got any follow-up questions, let me know in the chat. I'm happy to shoot them in. A couple I got. What is the current timeline? I think we've been over this, but I just want to reiterate if possible, timeline for eliminating the remaining credit facility balance.
Michael Clark (CFO)
The credit facility balance, yeah. Yeah. It is currently scheduled to be paid down to $15 million by the end of this year. The remaining $15 million gets paid out between 2026 and mid-2027.
Operator (participant)
Great. I'm just curious for your thinking. What drove the decision to defer that $10.6 million in debt payments forward into 2027?
Michael Clark (CFO)
It all kind of started, I'll start this, I guess, Rick, and you can chime in if you want. It all started with the bridge weight restrictions and how much we expected to produce in 2025 when we got the revised mine plan from Kinross. When we looked at that and looked at the delivery schedule and the hedges and the principal repayments and just what we could see in the feasibility study for 2026 for the scheduling, it became apparent that we wanted to realign the repayments and the delivery schedule hedges to better match the, I guess, the extended ore haul mine plan. It was just pushing out a little bit. It actually wasn't very significant in what we had to push out, but it took time and effort to get there. Dealing with two sets of lenders takes a little bit more time. At the end of the day, I think we're in a better position to better match the new schedule.
Operator (participant)
Great. No, appreciate that.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Yeah, I don't really have anything to add to that. Just the mine plan, everything has been compared to the feasibility study, which is somewhat typical. This is not your normal mine startup where you're mining and putting ore through a mill right away. This is the transportation plan. We basically were in operation mining and stockpiling for a whole year before we actually started milling. Your guidance is as per the feasibility study until you get up and running. Now we've learned a bunch of things after, now well over a year of hauling ore and stockpiling and all those operating issues that come up, you bake into your new plan going forward. That's effectively what happened with the updated mine plan.
Operator (participant)
Great. While we're on that, actually, to sort of bank shot to that last comment, I'd love if you could do just a quick 101 lesson for folks in the room of what the economic advantages are to direct shipping ore versus the more classic mill setup.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Yeah, I mean, the smaller environmental footprint is sort of the standout. What that means is you're not building a mill in a tailings facility, which you start from in order to build one, you have to permit one. As we all know in the United States and in Canada, I think both jurisdictions, that's a big, long process and can be an extremely long process. Five years is probably, if you from start to finish, if you've got your permits within five years, you're doing about five times better than the average for a significant project. By not building a mill in a tailings facility, we avoid a lot of things that have to be permitted. Obviously, when you're not building a mill in a tailings facility, you avoid a huge amount of capital that you have to raise.
A bit of a thumbs-up number, if we had built a mill at Manh Choh, it probably would have been in the $600 million-$700 million range. My guess would have been, obviously, it would take a long time to permit. In the beginning of that process, we might have said it would cost $500 million to build. As the process takes longer, it obviously costs more because we know that there is inflation just normally. We have certainly seen excess, higher levels of inflation in the last five years. Those are the big things that say the permitting, you take a lot of permitting risk off the table and shorten the timeline. We got Manh Choh permitted both state and federal permits within a year and a half of starting the process. That is somewhat unheard of in our business.
That's one of the reasons we really like this model, especially for a junior company. If you're a major company, you've got lots of cash flow coming in from multiple other operations, you can plan that out and sort of dial that into the overall development plan. When you're a junior company and you're looking for capital, minimizing the amount of capital, minimizing that time lag between getting your permits and being able to construct, that's a big deal. We like the model. We think it applies very well to the other assets or other key assets in the portfolio.
Operator (participant)
Great. No, appreciate it. Like I said, love the 101 lesson. I think it's useful. One question from the chat. Dave F asks, this is probably my last Mantro question before I move on. Can you yet disclose the results from the 2024 Mantro Exploration Program?
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Basically, I think we have the results and there aren't any significant results to report. Just to review, most of the program was spent evaluating the relatively large land position that constitutes the Tetlan lease from the Tetlan tribe. There was not a lot of drilling done. It was fairly scattered on a number of different fairly widespread targets. We're actually going to be meeting here with the joint venture here in another thing next week, actually. We'll be talking about where to focus this year's exploration effort. We certainly have some ideas on that that we'll be sharing with the Kinross team.
Operator (participant)
Great. I will move on here from Montreal into Johnson Tract. I believe in the relatively near future, we are intending to have a PEA for it. What metrics and metrics are you watching for when that PEA drops?
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Yeah. So expected to, I keep saying hoping towards the end of the month. Mike tells me I probably should expand that into April. We're working with our contractor there to get that done. It's definitely taken a little longer than we would have hoped. Basically, it's a pretty typical preliminary economic assessment, but it looks at the project again as a DSO project. We're not building a mill and tailings facility. We've identified a couple of different options as to where to send this material that we think are realistic that'll be covered in the PEA. Standard metrics, NPV of the project, rate of return. Again, by not building a mill and a tailings facility, you're saving yourself a lot on capital costs and the permitting timeline, as we've mentioned.
We think our five-year plan that we've outlined previously and that we're sticking to still makes sense and still is what we want to aim towards. What that means this year is it's mostly about permitting the access road up to the mine site from the coast and permitting a barge landing site. Those are the activities that we'll be focused on this year. You just went silent, Romeo.
Operator (participant)
I'm on mute. What a jerk. That's all me. My fault. My fault, fellas. Jumping into my last question here before I shut off.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
I was trying to lip read, but I was not really good at it.
Operator (participant)
Yeah. I mumble even actually when lip reading. So there you go. I do want to ask a question. Now that we've got many, many months in the rearview after acquiring HighGold, curious how the team feels in retrospect about the transaction and how integrating the assets gone generally into Contango's business.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Yeah, good question. We're really pleased with the transaction. It essentially was a corporate transaction, but it really was about buying the Johnson Tract asset. I think from an accounting perspective, that's how Mike's going to treat it. In terms of are we happy with what we bought or do we have buyer's remorse? We sure don't have buyer's remorse. We're very happy with the asset. We think it fits our model really well. We developed a really good working relationship with CIRI and Regional Corporation, CIRI. Those are folks that I've known for a long time, just having worked up here in Alaska a long time. As I mentioned before, and I think I've said many times, I have looked at Johnson Tract several times in the past as a potential opportunity.
I just could never imagine permitting a mill and a tailings facility there. With our DSO model, we get away from all of that. It's a run-of-mine operation. We get underground. We develop a good mine plan. Very excited about what we see from the resource modeling work that we've done. We've done some additional drilling last year to augment that, particularly in the upper third of the deposit. We've pretty much had that drilled out at the drill density we think is appropriate to develop a mine plan around. We have to get in underground to develop the rest of it to a feasibility level, get the infill drilling done. That mountain that you see in the foreground in the photo on our website, it just goes up too steep to be able to drill where we need to be drilling up there.
Putting the tunnel in is the next logical step. Spending the time to get the infill drilling and all the other information that we need to put a proper mine plan together is important. The PEA will outline that. I think it'll start to look at what the scale of the operation will be. I think you'd asked this on the other question, what sort of metrics should we be looking for? I think the scale of the operation is an underground mine. It's not an open pit. It's underground. It's sort of selectively mining high-grade material underground. When you look at the block model that we have on the website, you can see a nice high-grade zone there that's going to be right in the middle of where the tunnel goes in. It's just a perfect spot to start mining this thing.
Obviously, that's open at depth because it just hasn't been drilled at depth at all. Very exciting to see all that kind of play out. As I said, this year's activities will be mostly around permitting. Not a lot of ground disturbance type work going on. No drilling. We're not planning on doing any drilling or any road construction at this point in time.
Operator (participant)
Great. A couple of quick numbers questions for you, Mike, that came in a couple of minutes ago. I'm going to throw it to you for a calculator. One person asked, what's the average hedged price per ounce at this time?
Michael Clark (CFO)
The hedge price is all kind of flat. It's 2025 for '25 and '26. We did roll out about 15,000 ounces into '27. Those hedge prices came down a little bit for '27 to mid-1900s. That just has to do with the hedges being underwater. Overall, it's not a big impact on the hedge book.
Operator (participant)
Good. Thanks. Another numbers question. Bevonswe asks, based on $3,000 an ounce for gold, what is management's best estimate for 2025 and 2026 EBITDA?
Michael Clark (CFO)
Sorry, I couldn't hear the last part.
Operator (participant)
Best estimate for 2025 and 2026 EBITDA is what they're looking for.
Michael Clark (CFO)
This is the EBITDA. I think you're, so the way I don't have 2026 in detail. We just have kind of the feasibility. For 2025, using, I think we originally modeled everything at $2,500 gold, which basically had, let's say, $50 million in distributions from the JV. You had your hedge losses, which kind of took up about half of that. Then just your overheads and your interest costs. In that scenario, you would probably make $5 million for the year before principal repayments. You need to kind of, if you're going to assume today's gold price, add a 20% increase to those numbers. It should kind of go up respectively. Is that, Rick, is that how you would look at it?
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Yeah. I mean, obviously, as gold price goes up on the 30% of the ounces that aren't hedged for 2025, you're making that delta of, what is it, almost $1,000 for those ounces, for 30% of the ounces. That's how I sort of quick math think about it.
Operator (participant)
Good. Somebody right in the end asked if you could please provide an update on any activities related to extending the Manh Choh mine life.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Yeah. That really speaks to the exploration effort. I'd say for the last couple of years, Kinross has really been kind of looking at the rest of the property. It is a very big property. I compared it before to the site. It's the size of the state of Rhode Island, which is, albeit the smallest in the United States. It's still a big chunk of land. There has been a lot of stream sediment type work and follow-up and identifying potential drill areas around that whole area. We'd like to see more focused exploration around the mine site. That's what we'll be advocating for when we meet next. I sort of, I understand as being an exploration geologist myself, I understand that you've got a big property out there.
Let's go see what's on it and see if there's any sort of low-hanging fruit. That has been a good part of the effort for the last couple of years. We still think there's some good targets to drill right in and closer to the mine site. We'll certainly be advocating for that, as I mentioned earlier.
Operator (participant)
Great. Now, one question that came in, this is the one I'll wrap with, came in right as the event started. They asked, does anybody out there know how much this company is actually undervalued? I won't ask you that exact question. I will ask what your perspective is generally on the kind of market value gap that's on right now. What do you think is going to close that up?
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
I think that's a CFO question if you're on the loose.
Michael Clark (CFO)
Absolutely not. I'm not touching that one. It's for the CEO.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
Yeah. No. I mean, I think we were definitely oversold. I think the shorts, with our relatively small equity issue and 12 million shares, I think the shorts had a field day, frankly. I think as we've seen today with Mike's brilliant press release on our year-end results, we're making money. We're not going bankrupt. We're not, the banks, we heard all sorts of rumors that the banks weren't going to work with us and we were going to be bankrupt and blah, blah, blah. I think today's press release shows that that is indeed not the case. There may have been some speculation that, oh, we'll need to raise equity. And so we'll short the stock and we'll buy it when we raise equity. We're not doing that. I think that's been pretty clearly broadcast.
If we have to hunker down for a year and not drill at Lucky Shot, that's what we're going to do. We're going to deliver into the hedges and pay the debt down. We'll make a lot of money in this company when the hedges are paid off. Just to speak to it, the reason the hedges are in place is because when we were raising money to build this mine, the equity markets just were not there. We had, I don't know, what, $1,800, $1,900 gold. Nobody was interested in investing in a development stage gold junior producer at that time. I think markets have improved, but there's still, in my sense, a reluctance to get down into the junior stocks still. I think there's still a lot of upside potential in the junior stocks.
Starting to see the Agnicos and the Newmonts and the Barricks all get some respect in terms of the amount of cash flow they're generating from their gold operations. I don't think the junior stocks have seen that yet. I think we're certainly a stock that will perform well as the gold price continues to increase. Like I said, we're making good money. We're paying off the hedges or delivering into the hedges and paying off the debt. That'll be the focus for this year.
Operator (participant)
Awesome. Now, some questions that sneak in just as I was saying goodbye. That won't actually be the last one, but they're short. Somebody asked, are there any plans for exploring the other assets beyond Johnson Tract acquired from HighGold?
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
There are our two core assets being Johnson Tract and Lucky Shot. No plans to drill at Lucky Shot right now at this point in time. We are having a number of strategic discussions. That is something that does not cost us a lot of money. We think it is really kind of the next logical thing to do for both of those projects, to find a home to where we are going to process this material. Those discussions are taking place. I kind of lump them into sort of having strategic discussions on that. We think that is going to result in some very positive news once we get something hard and fast put together.
Of course, until we get to something hard and fast, we're going to be under CA and won't be able to say a whole lot about it other than it's a focus for the company for this year for certain.
Operator (participant)
Okay. Makes sense. I think that actually also tackles the last question. There you go. Mike, Rick, thank you so much. I think this was very helpful. Thanks, everybody in the room. I know there were a lot of you today. Really appreciate your questions and joining us right before your beer on St. Patrick's Day. Now you are free to go. Please hit the bars. Have fun. Everybody have a great afternoon. Cheers.
Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse (President and CEO)
