▼(-26.55% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:03/26/26
The score is driven primarily by mixed financial performance (profitability and revenue pressure offset by strong cash generation) and weak technicals (broad downtrend and bearish momentum). These are partly offset by attractive valuation (low P/E and high dividend yield) and a cautiously constructive earnings outlook with reiterated guidance and strong cash conversion, despite segment margin headwinds and restructuring/inventory risks.
Positive Factors
Strong cash generation
Near‑92% operating cash conversion and material shareholder returns demonstrate persistent cash generation. This durable cash flow ability supports deleveraging, continued dividends and buybacks, funds transformation spend and provides a buffer against cyclical revenue weakness over the next 2–6 months.
Negative Factors
Declining revenue and net loss
Recent deterioration to negative net profit and falling revenue signals underlying demand and margin pressures. Persistent declines constrain retained earnings and limit reinvestment capacity, making earnings recovery and ROE improvement a medium‑term challenge without sustained margin or revenue lifts.

Amotiv Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 09, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 18, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a cautious but constructive picture: core financials are stable with organic revenue growth (+3.3%), strong cash conversion (~92%), disciplined capital returns (~$48m) and material transformation benefits from the Amotiv Unified program. Powertrain and LP&E showed margin and revenue strength, offshore diversification and FX hedging improved resilience, and guidance for FY‑26 was reiterated (underlying EBITA ~ $195m). Key negatives include pronounced margin and EBITA weakness in the 4‑wheel drive division (EBITA down >15%, margins -290bps), soft ANZ reseller demand for some LP&E categories, near‑term volume softness in January pickups, inventory build and ongoing restructuring costs. On balance the positives (profitability resilience, cash generation, strategic cost benefits and offshore momentum) outweigh the negatives, which management expects to mitigate through pricing, Unified savings and offshore growth.Positive Updates
Group Revenue Growth (Organic)
Group revenue grew 3.3% year‑on‑year, fully organic, driven by new business wins and higher offshore contributions (offshore revenue +14% outside ANZ).
Negative Updates
4‑Wheel Drive Profit and Margin Pressure
4‑wheel drive underlying EBITA declined just over 15% (or down ~12% excluding a ~$1m double‑debt provision); reported EBITA margin contraction ~290 basis points driven by domestic inflation, delayed price realization and the ramping South Africa plant with below‑mature margins.

Company Guidance
Management reiterated unchanged FY26 guidance: group revenue is expected to grow and underlying EBITA is guided to circa $195m. H1 underlying EBITA was $98.3m (up ~1.3% vs PCP) on organic revenue growth of 3.3%, with H1 cash conversion just under 92% and full‑year cash conversion expected to be in line with or ahead of the 75%+ target. Amotiv Unified gross benefits of $15m (net $10m) are already in guidance and an incremental $10m gross annualised benefit (net $1m EBITA in FY26) was announced to be realized on exit of FY26. Balance sheet and other forward metrics: gearing 1.95x (target 1.5–2.25x) with deleveraging expected in H2; CapEx down 22% in H1 and FY26 CapEx expected up to ~10% lower than FY25; R&D at 3.8% of revenue; effective tax rate ~29%; interim dividend $0.20/share (~52% payout, >8% growth); H2 assumptions include improved 4‑wheel drive margins, LP&E H2 EBITA marginally softer than H1 but above PCP, Powertrain resilience maintained, and the EV business loss of between $1–2m expected to reach breakeven on a run‑rate exiting FY27.Amotiv Financial Statement Overview
