Highlights

FY26 revenue reached A$1.69 billion, increasing 13% from FY25.
Normalised EBIT was A$91.7 million, while statutory net loss after tax reached A$58.2 million.
Construction and Fitout and Refurbishment both reported higher annual revenue.
Net cash at 30 June 2026 was A$362.5 million, with no borrowings.
A$2.5 billion of contracted work supported 89% of forecast FY27 revenue.

FDC Consolidated Holdings Limited (ASX:FDC) delivers construction, fitout, refurbishment and building services across Australia, predominantly in non-residential sectors. Following its ASX listing in July 2026, the company published its maiden listed-company full-year results on 27 August 2026. These figures provide a baseline for assessing revenue growth, project execution and the difference between statutory and normalised profitability.

How Did Revenue and Earnings Develop in FY26?

For the year ended 30 June 2026, FDC Consolidated Holdings (ASX:FDC) reported revenue of A$1.69 billion, up 13% from FY25. Construction revenue increased 14.4% to A$1,018 million, while Fitout and Refurbishment revenue advanced 11.5% to A$672 million. The Construction business accounted for approximately 60% of group revenue, with Fitout and Refurbishment contributing the balance.

The group reported normalised EBIT of A$91.7 million, 19% above FY25, and a normalised EBIT margin of 5.4%, compared with 5.2% previously. Normalised net profit after tax rose 14% to A$70.8 million. These non-IFRS measures incorporate adjustments intended to provide a comparison of ongoing operations on a public-company basis; they should not be treated as statutory profit.

On a statutory basis, FDC Consolidated Holdings (ASX:FDC) recorded a net loss after tax of A$58.2 million. The company attributed this principally to one-off costs associated with its listing and reorganisation, including legacy employee share-scheme expenses. The distinction is important because the statutory result and normalised measures describe different aspects of FY26 financial performance.

What Do Cash and Contracted Work Indicate?

At 30 June 2026, FDC Consolidated Holdings (ASX:FDC) reported net cash of A$362.5 million and no borrowings. Operating cash conversion exceeded 100% on the company’s normalised measure. The balance sheet provides context for its approach to project selection and working-capital management, although construction cash flows can vary with contract milestones and payment timing.

Contracted work in hand stood at A$2.5 billion at year-end, equivalent to 89% of forecast FY27 revenue. This measure represents work remaining under contracts; it is not revenue already earned. Timing, cost performance and successful completion determine the earnings ultimately generated from that workload.

FDC said about two-thirds of its work was secured through negotiated or early-contractor-involvement processes. Its revenue base included commercial projects at 31%, industrial at 24%, data centres at 13% and education at 11%. This mix illustrates exposure to several end markets, rather than reliance on a single project type.

FY27 Targets and Execution Considerations

FDC Consolidated Holdings (ASX:FDC) reaffirmed its FY27 pro forma prospectus forecasts in August 2026: revenue of A$1.9 billion, normalised EBIT of A$100 million, a normalised EBIT margin of 5.3% and a dividend payout ratio of 70–90% of net profit after tax. These are company forecasts, not achieved results, and remain subject to operating conditions.

Construction contracts are exposed to input costs, labour availability, subcontractor performance, scheduling changes and potential disputes. Cost overruns can affect margins even where contracted work is substantial. The Fitout and Refurbishment segment reported a FY26 gross margin of 8.9%, compared with 10.0% in the prospectus comparison, illustrating that business mix can influence profitability. Periodic updates on contract conversion, margins and cash flow will clarify performance against the FY27 plan.

Key Insights

FDC Consolidated Holdings (ASX:FDC) entered FY27 with an expanded revenue base, a net cash position and A$2.5 billion of work in hand. Its maiden annual report also highlights the need to distinguish a statutory loss from normalised earnings. Future results will show how contracted projects translate into revenue, cash generation and reported profitability.
