Mayfield Childcare Ltd. ( (AU:MFD) ) has shared an announcement.
Mayfield Childcare reported a 3.7% rise in FY25 revenue to $91.5 million, driven partly by its Precious Cargo acquisition, but underlying EBITDA fell to $2.3 million amid softer first-half trading and rising input costs. The group swung to a statutory net loss of $21.4 million after a $19.4 million non-cash goodwill impairment, even as net debt was cut to $1.8 million and centre EBITDA remained under pressure.
Operationally, the second half of FY25 showed improving momentum under new CEO Daniel Stone, with stronger occupancy trends, reduced reliance on agency staff and a positive EBITDA contribution from the now-integrated Precious Cargo centres. Management is executing a turnaround program that includes closing or divesting underperforming centres and targeting further occupancy gains, and has issued FY26 guidance for a substantial uplift in underlying group and centre EBITDA, signalling a cautious recovery trajectory for stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:MFD) stock is a Hold with a A$0.56 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mayfield Childcare Ltd. stock, see the AU:MFD Stock Forecast page.
