The call emphasized strong operational performance: double-digit revenue, EBITDA and NPATA growth; high margins, robust ROE, a clear programmatic M&A engine, and ongoing investments in software and AI. These positives are tempered by a near-50% share-price decline, increased leverage from recent acquisitions, a temporary spike in working capital debt and modest organic growth. Management presented confidence in the strategy, pipeline and balance-sheet resilience and outlined actions (buybacks, refinancing, continued M&A discipline) to address near-term market-driven challenges.

Company Guidance

Management reiterated that capital allocation will prioritise accretive M&A and continued investment in internal software/AI (six acquisitions in the half adding ~$18–$22m of revenue) with buybacks secondary, and signalled expected organic growth of roughly 5% (reported organic +4.2%) while total group revenue rose 17% to $76.0m and the revenue run‑rate is ~$164.2m (≈22% uplift vs FY25 $134.6m). Profitability and cash metrics remain a focus: group operating EBITDA margin 27.6% (Australia 31.3%), underlying EBITDA +15.2% to $21m, underlying NPATA +12.8% to $5.6m, cash conversion ~101.1% (guidance range 85–100%), free cash flow per share +10%, and strong returns (group ROE 38.1%, parent ROE 32.6%, long‑term BV CAGR ~34.9%). Balance sheet guidance emphasised conservative gearing: net debt $77.1m (up $18.6m), net debt/underlying EBITDA 1.79x (from 1.42x), scheduled debt repayments annualising ~$14m, ~ $60m acquisition term debt, and management reiterated a per‑share growth mindset and intention to pursue an appropriate secondary listing when debt structuring is complete.

Revenue Growth and Run Rate Expansion

Group revenue increased 17% to $76.0M (from $64.9M) for the half; reported revenue run rate is $164.2M, representing ~22% growth versus FY25 revenue ($134.6M).

Profitability Improvements

Underlying operating EBITDA grew 15.2% to $21.0M; Australian operating EBITDA margin at 31.3% and group operating EBITDA margin at 27.6%; underlying NPATA (parent) rose 12.8% to $5.6M.

Strong Returns and Capital Efficiency

Group return on equity is 38.1% and parent ROE 32.6%; long-term compounding of book value with a ~34.9% CAGR over ~19 years; cash conversion remained high at 101.1% for the half.

Successful Programmatic M&A and Expansion

Completed 6 acquisitions during the year (contributed partial-period revenue); acquisition contribution cited as $18M–$22M of revenues; expanded into Ireland, India, Hong Kong, Philippines and strengthened U.S. presence.

Maintained Per-Share Focus

Free cash flow per share grew ~10% (management comment); EPS and free cash flow per share have nearly doubled from 2021 to 2026 in line with revenue growth; emphasis on building per-share intrinsic value.

Operational Discipline and Working Capital Improvement

Lockup days (working capital metric) decreased to 49.8 days, indicating improved receivables/work-in-progress management; cash from operations increased 6.4%.

Investment in Software, AI and People

Ongoing in-house software development since 2021 (single point of truth, client/team apps, Kudos order platform) and active planning for AI adoption to augment advisor capabilities; workforce profile skewed younger (partner average age ~42) seen as advantageous for tech adoption.

Market Positioning and Strategy

Strategic aim to be Australia’s leading global accounting firm for private businesses; audit exposure limited (~<=5% of revenue) reducing vulnerability to audit-market disruption; M&A pipeline described as very strong with sustained demand to join the group.
