The setup & the reality

HY26 → FY26 Follow-through

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

Historical setup

What HY26 said to watch

Previous analysisHY26Result releasedAnnolyse analysis published

From Cash conversion collapsed to 15.4% as working capital absorbed $348m

Management has reaffirmed FY26 EBITDA guidance and signalled confidence in an H2 uplift driven by productivity and utilisation of strategic investments. The supplied seasonal pattern shows HY25 delivered 48.8% of FY25 revenue, 49.6% of EBITDA and 51.4% of NPAT, and operating cash flow was historically more H2-weighted (HY25 represented 45.4% of FY25 OCF). That shape is consistent with management's H2 framing on earnings, but it does not by itself rescue the cash gap.

Underlying EBITDA was disclosed at $300m, up 3.2% — well below the 9.7% reported EBITDA growth — which sets a more modest organic baseline against which the reaffirmed guidance and "H2 uplift" claim should be judged.

Open questions

Open questions from HY26

  • What specifically drove the $348m working capital absorption, and how much is expected to reverse in H2 FY26?
  • Why did the effective tax rate fall to 22.2% from 28.3%, and is this a sustainable run-rate?
  • Why does Underlying EBITDA growth of 3.2% diverge so sharply from reported EBITDA growth of 9.7%?
  • How is the maintained 57.0 cps interim dividend being funded given FCF of -$24.0m, and what is the policy if cash conversion does not normalise?
  • What concrete productivity and utilisation milestones underpin the reaffirmed FY26 EBITDA guidance and the H2 uplift confidence?

This briefing cannot assess customer-level receivables ageing, the split of the working capital build between volume, mix and timing, or any segment-level cash conversion behind the group OCF figure.
