Experience Co Ltd ( (AU:EXP) ) has provided an announcement.

Experience Co reported 1H26 revenue from continuing operations of $67.2 million, up 5%, with underlying EBITDA broadly flat at $10.5 million and statutory net profit rising 35% to $1.9 million. Net debt increased to $13.3 million and operating cash flow softened to $5.6 million, reflecting mixed trading across its network amid industrial action, volatile weather, cost-of-living pressures and uneven international visitor recovery.

The group is divesting its Wild Bush Luxury unit to streamline the portfolio toward higher-scale, higher-return offerings, while pushing organic growth via new Reef Unlimited products, the Aquarius II vessel and Treetops Canberra expansions. Management is intensifying cost-reduction and capital management initiatives, reviewing the Skydive Australia unit after a slower-than-expected rebound, and warning that the earnings recovery will take longer despite a still-positive long-term outlook.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:EXP) stock is a Hold with a A$0.11 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Experience Co Ltd stock, see the AU:EXP Stock Forecast page.
