The setup & the reality

FY25 → HY26 Follow-through

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

Current result now available

HY26 · Released 26 February 2026

Sky's Discovery NZ acquisition lifts EBITDA 28.8% and FCF to NZ$87.1m

The deal expands the revenue base and inflates the prior comparable, so headline PBT and NPAT growth rates are not analytically like-for-like.

Historical setup

What FY25 said to watch

From NPAT fell 58.7% on a 2.1% revenue decline despite dividend lift

Management states the result landed within the revised guidance ranges reset in February. No explicit FY26 revenue or EBITDA targets are provided in the materials supplied here; the only forward financial figure is the at-least 30 cps dividend guidance.

Against the HY25 shape, the second half delivered roughly $88m of EBITDA versus $60.7m in H1, broadly consistent with the H2 weighting management flagged at the interim as programming-cost timing reversed. So the within-year cadence tracked the signalled pattern, which means the FY25 print itself was not the surprise — the open question is what FY26 looks like once the acquisition and the lifted dividend run-rate are layered on.

Open questions

Open questions from FY25

  • What specifically drove the gap between the 2.6% EBITDA decline and the 57.9% PBT decline, and how much of it is genuinely non-recurring versus structural?
  • Why did OCF/EBITDA conversion drop 10 percentage points, and is the cause working-capital timing, programming-rights phasing, or something structural?
  • How is the FY26 guidance of at least 30 cps reconciled with FY25 NPAT covering only ~14 cps of dividend, and what FCF run-rate underpins it?
  • What are the terms, consideration, and strategic rationale of the acquisition flagged in the release?
  • Will the H1-weighted programming cost pattern repeat in FY26, and what does that imply for first-half cash generation against a higher dividend run-rate?

This briefing cannot assess the specific composition of items below EBITDA, the acquisition terms, or whether the FY26 dividend guidance is supported by management's expected free cash flow trajectory.
