Dividend Profile

FY2026 Performance

The result was supported by strong activity across the company’s operating divisions, including Mining, Civil, Minerals, Energy & Technologies (MET), and the newly established Electrical, Mechanical, Infrastructure and Technology & Maintenance (EMIT) segment following the Fredon acquisition.

NRW also reported statutory net profit after tax of $153.4 million, compared with $27.7 million in FY2025, reflecting a significant improvement in reported earnings.

Business Expansion and Fredon Acquisition

NRW’s growth strategy has increasingly focused on expanding beyond traditional mining services into broader infrastructure and technology-related markets.

The acquisition of Fredon established EMIT as the company’s fourth operating pillar, adding capabilities across electrical, mechanical, infrastructure, technology and maintenance services. During FY2026, EMIT contributed $684.3 million in revenue and $36.1 million in underlying EBITA during its first nine months within the group.

The acquisition expanded NRW’s exposure to sectors including health, defence, data centres, commercial infrastructure and energy markets. This Diversification provides additional revenue opportunities while reducing reliance on traditional mining and resources-related activity.

Mining and Services Operations

NRW continues to operate across contract mining, civil construction, drill-and-blast activities, engineering and technology services.

The Mining segment generated revenue of $1.54 billion in FY2026, with underlying EBITA increasing to $139.9 million. The MET division recorded revenue growth of 35.1% to $1.26 billion, with underlying EBITA rising 40.5% to $96 million. (

The company entered FY2027 with a strong order book of $7.5 billion, including repeat business, supported by opportunities across resources, infrastructure, energy and emerging sectors such as data centres.

Risks and Key Considerations

NRW remains exposed to the cyclical nature of mining and infrastructure spending. Changes in Commodity prices, customer Investment decisions and project delays can influence Demand for mining services and construction activity.

Large projects also carry execution risks, including cost pressures, workforce availability and operational challenges. The integration of Fredon introduces additional complexity as NRW works to combine the expanded service offering with its existing operations.

Competition, contract margins and maintaining a strong pipeline of future work remain important factors for sustaining earnings. Dividend payments remain discretionary and depend on continued financial performance and capital allocation priorities.
