Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The call presented a mixed picture. There are strong positives: solid North American growth, improved cash generation and working capital metrics, meaningful post-period order wins, and clear corrective actions (rightsizing, leadership changes and efficiency programs). However, these are offset by meaningful near-term profitability challenges — notably a loss-making OEM contract in Chile, operational inefficiencies across several regions, declining H1 profits (NPAT down sharply) and increased net debt. Management is confident these are controllable operational issues and has provided revised FY guidance and remediation steps, but H1 performance was disappointing.Company Guidance
Stable Group Revenue with Clear Regional Drivers
Group revenue was $170.3 million, down 3% year-on-year (statutory), and broadly in line excluding a prior-year restatement. North America grew 12% to over $71 million and now represents ~42% of group revenue. APAC remained the largest contributor despite a 12% decline to ~$70.6 million, and South America reported $28 million (11% decline).
Positive Cash Generation and Improved Working Capital
The group generated free cash flow of just over $3.0 million (first half) after interest, tax and CapEx, reversing prior year cash outflows. Operating/operational cash flow improved materially (management cited an $11m turnaround), cash on hand was $15.8 million (from $20.0 million prior year), inventory reduced by $6.4 million and receivables fell by $17.7 million.
Order Momentum Post Period-End
Management reported significant order wins after the half: an additional $51 million of orders secured post period-end and a further $21 million of trade orders in Australia, supporting a stronger second half outlook.
Prudent Capital Management and Shareholder Return
Board declared an interim fully franked dividend of $0.03 per share (approximate cash cost $2 million). Management maintained an active share buyback ($1.2 million noted) and CapEx remained modest at $3.5 million in H1 (down $2.6 million YoY).
Clear Operational Remedial Actions Underway
Company has implemented rightsizing (global workforce reduced to 1,222 at Dec 2025), new Chile management supported by North American team, steel-yard and scheduling controls, improvements in Indonesia resourcing, and initiatives to debottleneck and improve workshop productivity in North America.
Upward Full-Year Guidance (Reflects Confidence)
Management revised FY26 revenue guidance to >$350 million and statutory EBITDA (ex-FX) guidance to $14–$16 million for the full year, emphasizing that the first-half operational items are not expected to repeat to the same quantum in H2.
