Historical setup

What FY25 said to watch

From EBITDA up 433% but MOV stays loss-making on a 2.6% revenue decline

No formal targets were disclosed for FY26, and there is no forward-work backlog figure to anchor expectations. Management commentary characterised the result as delivering on financial targets and expressed confidence about positioning when demand returns, but no specific forward earnings or revenue guidance was provided.

The second-half EBITDA exit rate of roughly $24m in 2H25 versus $18m in 1H25 provides a positive directional signal. Whether that trajectory continues depends on whether the gross margin gains are sticky and on the trajectory of Warehousing, where the current loss rate is material relative to a group that has not yet returned to profitability.

Open questions

Open questions from FY25

  • What is the strategic intent for Warehousing — is the revenue contraction from $137m to $54m a deliberate rationalisation or customer loss, and when does the division reach breakeven?
  • Why is capex at $0.2m, and what is the minimum reinvestment level required to maintain fleet and facility condition?
  • How durable is the 29.2% gross margin in the context of ongoing weak New Zealand freight demand, and is there evidence of pricing pressure re-emerging?
  • Is the $11.4m total equity position sufficient to absorb further losses, and what covenant or headroom position applies to the $23.2m in gross borrowings?
  • Whether the second-half EBITDA improvement of $24.0m represents a sustainable run-rate or included temporary cost benefits not present in FY26.

This briefing cannot assess the underlying customer concentration, contract tenor, or volume pipeline that will determine whether the gross margin recovery is durable beyond FY25.
