Latest Developments

FY26 results announced on 31 August 2026

On 31 August 2026, DXN reported FY26 revenue of A$10.1 million, down 33% on the previous corresponding period (A$15.1 million). The company said the decrease reflected customer-side project deferrals in the first half that were substantially recovered through increased Manufacturing and execution activity in the second half. Gross Profit was A$1.8 million, down 63% on FY25, EBITDA was a loss of A$4.4 million, and underlying EBITDA was a loss of A$3.7 million. Cash was A$11.0 million as at 30 June 2026.

AI HPC contracts and backlog

The 31 August 2026 announcement said DXN signed its maiden AI High-Performance Compute (HPC) contract in June 2026, worth approximately A$8.8 million, with a US-listed neocloud operator for a 1.36MW modular data centre. The company said this established a pathway to a campus-scale follow-on opportunity indicatively valued in excess of US$200 million, contingent on delivery of the proof of concept module. It also reported a second AI HPC contract of approximately A$12.2 million. DXN said backlog was A$23.5 million at 30 June 2026 and A$40.9 million at 30 August 2026, and that it anticipated converting approximately 45% of total backlog into revenue in the first half of FY27.

Capital raising, expansion and divestment

DXN said it completed a A$7.0 million Capital raise to fund additional factory capacity and established a wholly owned manufacturing Facility in Johor, Malaysia, its first outside Australia. It said the Malaysian facility is expected to commence production in the second quarter of FY27, with a proposed east coast Australian facility also targeted for that quarter. The company also reported a non-binding joint venture with Super Sistem Indonesia, and the divestment of its Hobart colocation data centre for total consideration of up to A$520,000, completed on 30 June 2026.
