FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY26
• FY26 results were below expectations, reflecting softer market conditions and delayed project awards across a number of customer
segments.
• Customer engagement remained strong throughout the year, however extended procurement timeframes delayed the conversion of
quotations into firm orders.
• Order momentum improved significantly during the second half, with the Group's order book increasing to $10 million, its highest level in
over two years.
• The active quote pipeline reached a record $130 million, up from $115 million in the prior corresponding period, supporting improved
revenue visibility.
• ATS continued to gain traction and Glowing Structures continued to perform well, with active ATS quotes and tenders increasing to $8
million and product specifications exceeding $3 million.
• Management has identified approximately $2 million in annualised cost savings, with around $1 million already implemented and the
balance expected to be delivered over coming months.
• The Board believes the Group is well positioned to benefit from a strengthened order book, record quote pipeline, ATS growth initiatives
and ongoing cost reduction programs.
