Gale Pacific Limited ( (AU:GAP) ) has issued an announcement.
Gale Pacific reported a softer first half for FY26, with revenue down 9.5% to $82 million and a net loss after tax widening to $3.3 million, as weaker U.S. retail demand, adverse weather in Australia and New Zealand, and geopolitical instability in some Middle East markets weighed on sales. Despite the decline in top-line performance, the company delivered EBITDA of $5.3 million, above prior guidance, and materially strengthened its balance sheet, generating $15.1 million in operating cash flow and moving to a net cash position of $1.9 million through tighter working capital management, cost efficiencies and a more disciplined inventory fulfillment strategy with major North American retailers.
In Australia and New Zealand, revenue fell 5.4% as lower grain storage fabric volumes and a weather-impacted start to the summer retail season hit sales, but EBITDA improved 11.3% due to margin focus and cost control and was supported by a long-term contract extension with a key commercial customer. In the Americas, revenue dropped 19.9% and EBITDA fell sharply as the company deliberately reset inventory flows to retailers and faced weaker consumer sentiment and U.S. trade-policy uncertainty, yet management highlighted progress in securing new retail customers and range extensions, positioning the business for future growth while operating on a more streamlined cost base.
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.
