The relevant company report or presentation was dated 28 August 2026. The discussion below addresses reported operating figures and company-specific developments rather than treating the disclosure as a new event or attributing share-price movements to it.

Revenue and profitability

FY26 statutory revenue was AUD 209.8 million, compared with AUD 183.1 million in FY25. Adjusted EBITDA excluding impairments was AUD 13.1 million against AUD 12.8 million. The group nonetheless recorded a statutory net loss after tax of AUD 15.2 million.

The presentation included AUD 15.0 million in impairments affecting Victorian operations. Adjusted EBITDA and net loss after tax are different measures, and the adjustment basis should be stated when comparing operating performance with the statutory bottom line.

Operating productivity

Revenue per vehicle increased from AUD 178,000 in FY25 to AUD 205,000 in FY26. The company reported 1,028 vehicles at each period end, indicating that the revenue-per-vehicle change did not come from a larger reported fleet at year-end.

Traffic controller hours increased to 2.396 million from 2.328 million, while the number of traffic controllers rose to 1,704 from 1,652. Revenue per traffic controller also increased to AUD 124,000 from AUD 111,000. These measures show reported workforce and asset activity across the financial year.

Operating markets

The company described stronger activity in Queensland and New South Wales and additional projects in regional markets. Management identified improved workforce and vehicle deployment, contract governance and reporting systems among the operational measures undertaken.

It also reported an engagement related to early infrastructure works for preparations connected with the 2032 Olympic Games. The presentation characterised Business transformation initiatives as ongoing and distinguished them from completed financial outcomes.

Safety and financing

The total recordable injury frequency rate improved to 2.53 from 5.65 in FY25, a 55.2% reduction. The group described investments in critical-risk management and worker wellbeing. That annual figure does not imply an absence of all incidents.

The presentation also referred to refinancing and expansion of banking facilities completed during April 2026. The annual figures show a higher revenue base, modest growth in adjusted EBITDA and a statutory loss affected by impairments.
