Affiliate renegotiations and aviation exit delivering savings
Majority of the $7–9 million annualized affiliate savings target has already been executed effective January 2026; full exit of aviation operations expected to deliver approximately $3–5 million in annual savings from H2 onward.
One-off cash proceeds and operational efficiency initiatives
Sale of helicopters to generate ~ $5 million in cash proceeds (most received in early 2026); additional operating cost savings expected through AI and improved sales systems (estimated $2–3 million annualized).
