Gale Pacific Beats EBITDA Guidance as Cost Cuts Offset Softer Revenue

Gale Pacific Limited ( (AU:GAP) ) has provided an update.

Gale Pacific reported that its strategic focus on operational discipline and structural change is beginning to pay off, with Q2 FY26 EBITDA of $4.4 million driving first-half EBITDA to $5.7 million, ahead of prior guidance and slightly above the previous year. Positive operating cash flow of $15.3 million in the second quarter lifted first-half operating cash flow to $11.6 million and shifted the company into a modest net cash position of $1.7 million at December-end, despite a 9% year-on-year revenue decline to $82.1 million due to weaker U.S. demand, a slow Australian peak retail season and lower grain fabric sales. Management highlighted margin improvement in Australian retail, resilient U.S. retail margins amid tariff uncertainty, cost reductions of $3.8 million, benefits from a U.S. operating model restructure, and promising commercial and market development initiatives—including progress with U.S. retailers, a new sales team in Thailand, and sustained but lower-than-record Australian grain fabric volumes—underscoring a pivot toward efficiency and selective growth in challenging market conditions.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:GAP) stock is a Hold with a A$0.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Gale Pacific Limited stock, see the AU:GAP Stock Forecast page.
