FY26 was marked by margin pressure in new vehicles, inflationary cost headwinds, and increased competition, prompting strategic repositioning toward higher-margin segments, brand portfolio strengthening, and disciplined inventory and cost management.
The company expanded exposure to growth and premium brands, invested in operational capabilities, and maintained balance sheet flexibility for future opportunities.
Record results were achieved in used vehicles and service/parts, supporting improved gross margin and operational resilience.
Nine new dealerships were added, primarily Chinese brands, with the portfolio expected to exceed 30% Chinese brands in FY27.
Entering FY27, the group holds a stronger portfolio, higher-quality earnings, and capacity for opportunistic growth.

Underlying profit before tax was AUD 14.5 million, down 35% year-over-year, mainly due to new vehicle margin pressure and cost inflation.
