H1 FY26 net revenue was AUD 18.8 million, an increase of 21.0% from the prior corresponding period.

LGI Limited (ASX:LGI) operates landfill biogas capture, carbon abatement and electricity generation facilities in Australia. During October 2026, the company announced a transaction involving operating solar assets in Queensland, following publication of its FY26 results in August. On 21 October 2026, LGI Limited (ASX:LGI) closed at AUD 2.50, unchanged for the day. The company’s latest operational disclosures include biogas volumes, electricity output, carbon credit creation and the proposed addition of solar generation assets.

Company Business

LGI collects and processes biogas produced by landfill waste. Its activities include gas extraction and flaring for emissions abatement, conversion of captured gas into electricity, and the creation of Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) where eligible. Electricity generation and carbon abatement are distinct activities with different revenue drivers and operating requirements.

The company uses its Dynamic Asset Control System (DACS) in electricity dispatch and management. Its operating portfolio is associated with landfill facilities and related generation equipment in Australia. LGI Limited (ASX:LGI) reports gas flows, power generation, site contracts and unit creation alongside financial measures. Site performance can vary with landfill gas availability, equipment operation and electricity-market conditions.

Recent Development

In early October 2026, LGI announced an agreement to acquire two operating solar generation assets in Queensland, representing a combined 42 MW of alternating-current capacity. The Chinchilla facility accounts for 14.7 MW and the Brigalow facility for 27.3 MW. The assets are connected to the National Electricity Market through regional distribution networks. The announcement marks an extension from landfill-based generation to solar assets.

The company identified its DACS platform as part of its planned approach to asset management. Any financial contribution from the acquired facilities will depend on completion terms, operating outcomes and electricity prices. LGI Limited (ASX:LGI) also published its full-year results in August 2026 and announced changes in board composition during September. The acquisition and reporting disclosures are separate corporate events.

Financial Performance and Sector Context

For the six months ended 31 December 2025, reported as H1 FY26, LGI recorded net revenue of AUD 18.8 million, up 21.0% year on year. EBITDA was AUD 9.7 million, increasing 33.1%; statutory net profit after tax reached AUD 3.1 million, an increase of 28.4%. These measures describe different stages of the income statement, and EBITDA is not equivalent to operating cash flow.

H1 FY26 operating cash flow was AUD 4.8 million, down 22.8% from the comparable period. The reported EBITDA margin was 51.3% of net revenue. Biogas flows totalled 82.0 million cubic metres, while the company generated 70.29 GWh of renewable electricity and created 270,711 ACCUs during the half-year. These quantities rose by 37.4%, 40.7% and 19.1%, respectively, against the prior corresponding period.

Electricity sales are affected by wholesale pricing and generation volumes. ACCU creation is governed by applicable carbon-credit methodologies, reporting and regulatory processes. Generation infrastructure also requires maintenance expenditure, while acquiring operating assets can affect financing needs and future cash flow. LGI Limited (ASX:LGI) published a separate FY26 results announcement in August; half-year figures should not be mistaken for full-year totals.

Risks to Consider

Operating risks include landfill gas availability, plant outages, equipment maintenance, health and safety requirements, and access to landfill sites. Electricity price movements affect revenue realised from generation. Changes to ACCU eligibility, measurement, verification or compliance arrangements could affect carbon-credit activities. LGI Limited (ASX:LGI) is also exposed to transaction execution, integration expenditure and the operating characteristics of the Queensland solar facilities.

Solar generation varies with weather and daylight conditions. Wholesale electricity prices can be negative in some trading intervals, making dispatch decisions relevant to realised revenue. Financial obligations and capital expenditure associated with asset ownership remain important alongside reported earnings.

What to Watch Next

Subsequent company releases can clarify acquisition completion, consideration settlement, integration arrangements and operating data for the solar facilities. Future reporting will also show whether electricity-generation volumes, biogas collection and ACCU creation follow the levels recorded in H1 FY26. The timing of these disclosures will depend on the company’s announcements and reporting calendar.

For LGI Limited (ASX:LGI), further financial results will provide information on net revenue, EBITDA, statutory profit, operating cash flow, capital expenditure and funding. Separate operational data on existing landfill assets and the acquired solar sites would help distinguish underlying operating activity from changes associated with the expanded asset portfolio.

Key Insights

LGI has reported measurable activity across landfill biogas, electricity generation and carbon-credit creation, and has announced a transaction involving 42 MW of Queensland solar capacity. H1 FY26 results recorded revenue and profit increases alongside a decrease in operating cash flow. LGI Limited (ASX:LGI) will report additional financial and operating measures as subsequent reporting periods and transaction milestones occur.
