Historical setup

What HY26 said to watch

From Revenue grew 3.8% but a $4.4m working-capital build drained cash

HY25 was 50.7% of FY25 revenue, 48.4% of FY25 EBITDA and 46.5% of FY25 NPAT, so the pattern is mildly second-half weighted on earnings. Annualising HY26 revenue gives NZ$170.8m versus FY25 of NZ$162.1m, which would be a step up if the trajectory holds. No FY26 revenue, EBITDA or margin target was disclosed in this release, so the second-half judgement rests on whether margin recovers and whether the working-capital build reverses.

The implied second-half NPAT shape from FY25 was NZ$3.4m. To match FY25 NPAT of NZ$6.4m, HY26's NZ$2.9m starting point requires a stronger H2 contribution than the prior pattern, particularly if the tax rate normalises toward 28%.

Open questions

Open questions from HY26

  • What drove trade debtors to NZ$4.6m from NZ$0.6m, and how much of the NZ$4.4m working-capital build reverses in H2?
  • Why was the effective tax rate 19.8% versus a 28.1% prior, and is that rate sustainable into H2 and FY27?
  • What is the explanation for the 8.4% EBITDA margin sitting below the historical 8.8%-12.2% range despite the strongest revenue growth in the window?
  • How does management justify lifting the interim dividend 15.4% and raising the NPAT payout to 75% when operating cash fell and the cash balance ran down to NZ$0.1m?
  • Will gross borrowings continue trending down given the working-capital pressure, or has facility usage simply shifted intra-period?

This briefing cannot assess whether the receivables build reflects a change in customer mix, payment terms, or a one-off timing effect, because no segment or commentary detail on the receivables driver was supplied.
