RPM Automotive lifts EBITDA despite revenue slide in tough first half

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

RPM Automotive Group Ltd. ( (AU:RPM) ) has shared an announcement.

RPM Automotive Group reported a 10.9% fall in first-half FY26 revenue to $53.5 million and an 11.6% decline in gross profit to $18.5 million amid subdued macroeconomic conditions, particularly affecting its Wheels & Tyres and Performance & Accessories segments. Despite the softer top line and negative net cash flow, reported EBITDA rose 8% to $2.5 million, supported by stable gross margins and cost discipline, while the company continued to invest in new tyre initiatives and its Tyre Recycling Program, positioning for an anticipated recovery and ongoing growth in its motorsport and repairs businesses.

The Wheels and Tyres division was hit by weaker fleet demand, especially in Victoria, while Repairs and Roadside delivered modest revenue growth but saw profits squeezed by higher operating expenses. Performance and Accessories revenue fell following the sale of an underperforming unit and delivery delays, whereas Motorsport revenue climbed 8% as that segment strengthens its market position in soft parts and safety categories, underscoring a mixed divisional performance in a challenging environment.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:RPM) stock is a Hold with a A$0.07 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on RPM Automotive Group Ltd. stock, see the AU:RPM Stock Forecast page.
