ANALYSIS SUMMARY

The waterfall chart is on your dashboard. Here's the detailed breakdown:

Turnover by Grade - Budget vs Actual, March 2026

Total variance: +$7.2M (Budget $24.3M → Actual $31.5M)

Value Driver Baseline Target Absolute Variance Variance
Price 4.65 4.44 –0.21 –$1.4M ↓
Sales Volume 132,000 268,500 136,500 +$13.6M ↑
Grade 0.412 0.385 –0.027 –$2.1M ↓
Compliance Factor 0.987 0.978 –0.009 –$0.4M ↓
FX Rate 1.25 1.08 –0.17 –$2.5M ↓
Offsets 0 9,420 9,420 +$0.01M ↑

Key insights:

The positive variance is overwhelmingly driven by Sales Volume (+$13.6M), which more than doubled from budget (132k → 268k tons). This was partially offset by an unfavourable FX Rate movement (–$2.5M) and a lower Grade (–$2.1M). Price and compliance-factor effects were relatively minor.
