Record Revenue and Profit Growth

PWR Holdings delivered record FY26 group revenue of $170.7 million, up 31.2% from the prior year. The result was driven by exceptional growth across its two largest strategic markets. Motorsports revenue grew 45.4% to a record $101.9 million, representing approximately 60% of group revenue. Aerospace & Defence (A&D) revenue grew 30.8% to a record $35.2 million, representing approximately 21% of group revenue. Combined OEM and Aftermarket revenue was approximately $30 million. Statutory NPAT was $17.9 million, up 83.2%, with NPAT margin improving from 7.5% in FY25 to 10.5% in FY26, delivering the 3-percentage-point improvement that management had communicated as its FY26 target.

Stapylton Factory and Operational Transformation

A defining milestone in FY26 was the completion of the Stapylton factory relocation and ramp-up. The new facility enabled record Australian manufacturing revenue of approximately $106 million, a level the company stated was not achievable at its former site. The transition, which had created some operational disruption in the second half of FY25, was fully resolved in FY26, with the facility operating at a structurally higher baseline of capacity and capability. Cash conversion was 104.9%. Net Debt reduced to $5.6 million, and a final Dividend of 5.0 cents per share was declared, up 3.0 cents from the prior year.

Aerospace & Defence Growth and European Expansion

Aerospace & Defence was highlighted as the next phase of growth for PWR, with an order Backlog exceeding $40 million at the start of FY27. During FY26, A&D achieved key milestones including a Northrop Grumman supplier award and accreditations for CMMC 2.0, AS9100, and NADCAP quality management systems. PWR announced plans to establish a European manufacturing facility in Poland to target the significant European A&D market, which management described as having opportunities across multiple programs and customers. For FY27, PWR guided that Motorsports would maintain FY26 revenue levels, A&D would continue growing, and NPAT margin would improve by a further 2 percentage points.

What drove PWR Holdings' FY26 Earnings growth?

PWR's FY26 earnings growth was driven by three factors: (1) the completion of the Stapylton factory relocation, which unlocked record Australian manufacturing capacity; (2) exceptionally strong growth in Motorsports, with revenue up 45.4% driven by multiple major racing programs; and (3) continued A&D growth of 30.8% and operating leverage, which lifted NPAT margin from 7.5% to 10.5%.

What is PWR Holdings' A&D order backlog?

PWR Holdings entered FY27 with an Aerospace & Defence order backlog exceeding $82 million, providing strong forward revenue visibility for A&D growth. This backlog, combined with the company's expanding accreditations (Northrop Grumman supplier award, CMMC 2.0, AS9100, NADCAP), supports management's expectation that A&D will be the next major growth driver following the strong Motorsports performance in FY26.
