The setup & the reality

HY26 → FY26 Follow-through

The latest result is checked against what the prior briefing said to watch.

Current result now available

FY26 · Released 29 May 2026

EBITDA margin hit 18.4% — nearly 5 points above BFG's historical mean

A one-off store-sale gain and lower legal costs flattered all earnings lines, so the durability of record-high margins is the key question for FY27.

Historical setup

What HY26 said to watch

From NPAT up 93.7% on a flat top line, with cash conversion swinging to 87.7%

No forward guidance or stated targets accompany this release. The HY25-to-FY25 shape shows a second-half-weighted business — HY25 contributed 51.5% of full-year revenue but only 42.7% of NPAT and 20.0% of operating cash flow — so annualising HY26's NZ$849.6m NPAT to roughly NZ$1.7bn would overstate the likely full-year outcome if the historical seasonality holds.

Commentary references a 7.59% decline in total system sales and management's expectation that comparisons against FY24's record delivery-led sales would normalise. That framing supports the modest revenue decline but offers no quantitative FY26 anchor, so the durability of margin gains into the second half cannot be verified from this release.

Open questions

Open questions from HY26

  • What proportion of the NZ$524.2m working-capital release does management expect to reverse in HY26's second half?
  • How much of the EBITDA margin expansion to 17.5% reflects the absence of HY25 legal costs versus structural cost-base improvement?
  • Will the international segment's swing to profitability persist, or does it reflect one-period cost timing on a small revenue base?
  • What drove the effective tax rate down to 27.4% from 34.7%, and is the lower rate sustainable?
  • How should shareholders read the 20.0 cent interim dividend against a normalised, post-working-capital-reversal FCF base?

This briefing cannot assess the durability of HY26 margins or the sustainability of cash conversion without forward guidance, segment cost detail, or management commentary on working-capital normalisation.

HY26 · Released 28 November 2025

NPAT up 93.7% on a flat top line, with cash conversion swinging to 87.7%

Margin expansion and a NZ$524.2m working-capital release lifted earnings quality, but the prior comparable was unusually weak.

Read briefing→

FY25 · Released 30 May 2025

FCF collapsed from $2.4m to $0.3m as capex tripled and OCF fell 43%

Reported NPAT of $1.0m masks sharply weaker cash generation, leaving cash reserves down to $4.8m from $9.6m with no dividend declared this period.

Read briefing→

HY25 · Released 29 November 2024

Cash conversion at unprecedented 21.5% as cash reserves halved

Revenue slipped 1.3% while a $0.2M shareholder-litigation cost helped drive PBT down 20.2% and operating cash flow down 79.1%.

Read briefing→

FY24 · Released 30 May 2024

BurgerFuel NPAT up 47% on 13.6% revenue growth, OCF slipped 5%

FY24 is the strongest result since BFG's 2007 listing, but OCF/EBITDA conversion fell from 93.8% to 81.3% as cash did not track earnings.

Read briefing→

HY24 · Released 24 November 2023

Working-capital release lifted cash as tax jump trimmed NPAT growth to 5.2%

An unusual $0.7M working-capital release pushed cash conversion to 87.0% while the effective tax rate climbed from 26.0% to 31.0%, holding NPAT

Read briefing→

FY23 · Released 30 May 2023

BurgerFuel FY23 NPAT up 56% on 24.8% revenue rebound to pre-Covid levels

Cash conversion jumped to 93.8% of EBITDA and ROE climbed to 7.6%, but prior-period comparability is distorted by unit-scale reporting differences.

Read briefing→

HY23 · Released 25 November 2022

Revenue +13.7% and NPAT +36.5% on post-COVID royalty recovery

Operating revenue lifted to $10.7m with EBITDA margin steady at 15.3% and $7.4m of cash held against no material debt.

HY22 · Released 26 November 2021

Revenue up 16% but OCF swings to –NZ$0.2m as inventory builds to a record high

Strong system-sales growth failed to translate into cash, with inventory days hitting an unprecedented 13.3 days against a historical mean of 9.7
