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 PBT up 140.6% on flat revenue with gross borrowings cut to $105.0m

No forward targets or quantified outlook were supplied. The first half delivered $286.0m of revenue and $34.0m of NPAT, implying second-half revenue of $298.1m on slightly lower second-half NPAT of $29.7m. The back-half NPAT step-down on marginally higher revenue suggests margin or cost pressure in H2 that the full-year headline does not surface. Without management guidance, the release supports a recovery read but does not justify extrapolating FY25's reported margin into FY26.

Open questions

Open questions from FY25

  • Is the 29.2% effective tax rate the new baseline, or did FY25 benefit from one-off items the release does not detail?
  • Why did H2 NPAT step down to $29.7m from $34.0m in H1 despite slightly higher H2 revenue?
  • Can capex remain near 3.9% of revenue, or is FY26 spend set to revert toward the historical 6%–8% range?
  • Why did inventory rise 25.9% while receivables fell 24.6% — harvest timing, channel changes, or pre-positioned stock?
  • With NPAT roughly tripled and net debt nearly halved, what is the capital allocation framework that supports keeping the full-year dividend at 10.0 cps?

This briefing cannot assess underlying species pricing assumptions, FY26 catch or harvest volumes, or whether the Wildcatch segment's 16.4% gross margin reflects a sustainable run rate.
