FY26 Revenue and EBITDA Expectations

In its June update, GTN stated that FY26 Group revenue is expected to be between $150 million and $155 million. This compares with FY25 revenue of $180.2 million, representing a decline of approximately 14% to 17%.

The company stated that the expected revenue outcome was consistent with the movement reported during H1'FY26, when revenue declined by 15% compared with the prior corresponding period.

Adjusted EBITDA for FY26 is expected to be between $8 million and $10 million, compared with $16.6 million in FY25. This represents an expected decline of approximately 40% to 52% compared with the previous year.

GTN attributed the expected result to challenging trading conditions across its operating markets during FY26.

FY27 Outlook and Cost Initiatives

GTN stated that cost-out initiatives progressed during FY26 following actions announced in its H1'FY26 results. The company expects these initiatives to provide incremental benefits during FY27.

For FY27, GTN is forecasting Adjusted EBITDA between $15 million and $20 million.

The company also stated that, consistent with its capital management approach, the Board currently intends to distribute 100% of net profit after tax to shareholders in FY27, subject to business performance and other factors.

GTN noted that these forecasts remain subject to factors including foreign exchange rates, actual revenue and expenses, bank consent requirements and completion of the annual audit.

Dividend and Balance Sheet Update

GTN expects to pay a final FY26 dividend of approximately $10 million, representing around $0.05 per share. The payment remains subject to bank consent and completion of the annual audit process.

Before the payment of the FY26 final dividend, GTN expects closing cash to be between $28 million and $32 million at 30 June 2026. This compares with cash of $21.1 million at 30 June 2025.

The company expects net debt, excluding the impact of capital leases, to be between $3 million and $7 million at 30 June 2026.
