The setup & the reality

FY25 → HY26 Follow-through

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

Historical setup

What FY25 said to watch

Previous analysisFY25Result releasedAnnolyse analysis published

From Capex doubled to 16.1% of revenue, lifting FCF payout to 78%

No forward earnings targets or capex guidance were supplied, so this release does not anchor an FY26 reference point. The interim shape shows HY25 captured 65.3% of full-year NPAT, implying a noticeably weaker second half on the bottom line — likely linked to the timing of the apple harvest and the lift in capex hitting depreciation and interest later in the year. Revenue, by contrast, split close to even (49.5% first half).

That seasonal skew, combined with the step-change in capex intensity, means investors should not annualise the first-half NPAT run-rate. The release does support continued container-volume momentum from Pan Pac's return to full operations, but does not quantify how much of FY25 growth is catch-up versus a new baseline.

Open questions

Open questions from FY25

  • Will FY26 capex remain near the 16.1%-of-revenue level, and if so what does that mean for dividend coverage on the new 14.5c-per-share base?
  • What explains the 5.2-percentage-point fall in the effective tax rate, and is the 28.3% rate the new run-rate?
  • How does management reconcile underlying NPAT of NZ$28.3m to reported NZ$30.9m, and which items are recurring?
  • How much of the 11.6% revenue lift is Pan Pac catch-up volume versus structurally higher container throughput?
  • Is the lift in payout against pre-lease FCF a deliberate distribution policy reset or an artefact of the capex year?

This briefing cannot assess container volume durability, project-by-project capex commitments, or whether the lower effective tax rate reflects a permanent change in tax position.
