Historical setup

What FY25 said to watch

From PBT loss widened 124% to $104.7m on flat revenue as Kathmandu swung to loss

No quantified FY26 target has been supplied alongside the result, so the release cannot be benchmarked against a stated number. What it does establish is a worsening trajectory: HY25 underlying EBITDA was $3.9m and the full-year figure is $17.7m, implying a second half only marginally better despite the seasonal weighting that historically favours 2H earnings.

The release frames the response through a 'Next Level' strategy and outlook section, but until that translates into stabilised gross margin and a positive Kathmandu contribution, the relevant question is whether 2H FY25 was a trough or a new run-rate. The result itself does not resolve that.

Open questions

Open questions from FY25

  • Why did Kathmandu swing from $3.4m profit to -$19.6m loss on flat revenue, and how much of that is gross margin versus cost base?
  • What drove the 8.7-day extension in receivable days, and is any of the 1.0% revenue growth at risk of reversal?
  • Why did Rip Curl's segment result fall to $14.3m from $25.7m despite revenue growth, and what is the gross margin trajectory in that brand?
  • How does management reconcile the 'approximately $235m of funding headroom' message with net debt to EBITDA rising to 1.0x?
  • Is the negative implied 2H EBITDA a one-off reset or the new operating run-rate going into FY26?

This briefing cannot assess management's 'Next Level' strategy execution risk or the timing of any recovery in Kathmandu margins, because no quantified FY26 targets or recovery milestones have been supplied.

HY26 · Released 31 March 2026

Loss narrowed 43.5% but $65.3m raise signals balance-sheet stress

Operating cash fell 44.0% and net debt rose to $94.0m, prompting a fully underwritten equity raise alongside the headline earnings improvement.

Read briefing→

FY25 · Released 24 September 2025

PBT loss widened 124% to $104.7m on flat revenue as Kathmandu swung to loss

Second-half EBITDA turned negative and the dividend was scrapped, signalling deeper operating pressure than headline 1.0% sales growth suggests.

Read briefing→

HY25 · Released 26 March 2025

Underlying EBITDA collapsed 74.3% to $3.9m on flat revenue

Reported EBITDA fell 18.1% and the loss roughly doubled to $21.5m as Kathmandu's loss widened, while inventory release drove a $20m debt reduction.

Read briefing→

FY24 · Released 25 September 2024

PBT swung to a $46.7m loss as revenue fell 11.2%

Operating cash held at $144.7m, but the apparent cash-conversion uplift reflects EBITDA collapse rather than improved working-capital quality.

Read briefing→

HY24 · Released 19 March 2024

Sales down 14.5% drove KMD to a $10.4m loss; dividend cut to zero

Kathmandu swung to a segment loss and group leverage rose to 1.49x EBITDA, even as inventory release lifted operating cash flow.
