  • Underlying EBITDA fell 11.9% to $28.7m, but returned to 10.6% growth in the second half as efficiency measures and cost controls took effect.

  • Gross profit margin increased by 20 basis points to 26.2%, reflecting pricing discipline and supply chain efficiencies.

  • Cash conversion reached 100.1%, supporting a total dividend of $0.04 per share, or 80% of underlying NPAT, with stable gearing at 20.1%.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
