Key Points

Positve
  • Operating NPAT increased by 5% and operating EBIT grew 2% to $148 million, with strong cash generation of $114.5 million.
  • Maintenance services revenue grew 15% year-on-year, with on-site maintenance up 44%, now accounting for approximately half of gross revenue.
  • Balance sheet strengthened with net leverage reduced to 0.43 times, net debt down $67.8 million to $127.1 million, and a successful refinancing extended debt maturity to 2030.
  • Return on capital improved by 30 basis points to 16.9%, with a clear path to achieving the 20% ROC target in FY28.
  • Board approved an on-market share buyback of up to 10% of shares, reflecting confidence in cash generation and commitment to shareholder returns.
  • Secured redeployment opportunities for a material portion of the fleet, with utilization forecast to recover to 90% for surface and 80% for underground by end of FY27.
  • First-mover advantage in battery electric vehicle services through the Fortescue and XCMG program, with 110 assets expected by early 2029.
Negative
  • FY27 earnings expected to be in line with FY26, with a weighting to the second half, indicating limited near-term growth.
  • Second-half fleet utilization was impacted by fuel supply and cost concerns and extended wet weather in Queensland, reducing rental revenue.
  • External revenue for the Force segment declined 8% to $156 million, as capacity was redirected to internal rebuild works.
  • One lost time injury was recorded during the year, highlighting ongoing safety challenges despite overall improvement.
  • Depreciation expense reduced, but this was partly due to lower-than-expected depreciation, which may not be sustainable.
  • Operating cash flow included timing benefits from sale and leaseback financing, interest payment timing, and debt facility costs, which are not sustainable.
  • The company faces execution risk in achieving the FY28 20% ROC target, which depends on successful utilization recovery and maintenance growth.
