Executive summary
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.
Financial highlights
Revenue was AUD 2,489.3 million, up 0.3% year-over-year, with gross profit increasing 1.6% to AUD 406 million and gross margin improving to 16.3%.
Underlying profit before tax was AUD 14.5 million, down 35% year-over-year, mainly due to new vehicle margin pressure and cost inflation.
Statutory PBT was AUD 11.5 million after AUD 3 million in one-off acquisition and restructure costs.
Operating expenses rose by AUD 18.7 million (6.5%) to AUD 308.4 million, reflecting business transition, new brands, and inflation.
Final dividend declared at AUD 0.6 cents per share, total for the year AUD 3.6 cents per share.
Outlook and guidance
FY27 focus is on converting strategic repositioning into improved earnings, with drivers including higher quality earnings, portfolio-led growth, and disciplined capital deployment.
Management expects earnings to grow in FY27 versus FY26, supported by a strong order bank and expanded growth-brand portfolio.
Cost optimization initiatives are underway to reduce operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, targeting a return toward 11.7% from 12.4%.
Continued expansion with high-growth brands and disciplined capital deployment to capitalize on consolidation opportunities.
The proposed acquisition of Wakeling Automotive remains subject to ACCC approval.
