Retail Food Group ( (AU:RFG) ) has shared an update.

Retail Food Group reported first-half FY26 results showing resilient domestic network sales of $254.6 million and modest same-store sales growth, despite difficult trading conditions and ongoing closures of non-core and underperforming outlets. The company continues to reposition its portfolio toward core brands and Franchise Partner-led stores, while managing a weaker profit outcome, with underlying EBITDA down 43.1% to $9.2 million.

Management is executing a transformation program to cut costs, improve Franchise Partner earnings, reset its company store strategy and enhance procurement, marketing and operations to drive future network sales and profitability. A newly refinanced $41.2 million debt facility with major shareholder WHSP provides balance sheet stability and funding certainty, and the group has maintained its FY26 underlying EBITDA guidance of $20–24 million, signaling expectations for a stronger second half despite recent soft trading and cash flow pressures.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:RFG) stock is a Hold with a A$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Retail Food Group stock, see the AU:RFG Stock Forecast page.
