Investor presentation summary
18 Jun, 2026Acquisition overview
Announced acquisition of Ausgroup Industrial Services (AGIS) and Preston SuperDeck® for a combined enterprise value of $54.5m, funded by $47.79m cash and $6.75m in scrip, subject to ACCC approval for AGIS.
AGIS is a Queensland-based industrial services provider with a strong blue-chip client base and expected FY26 revenue of $40m and EBITDA of $6.5m.
Preston SuperDeck® is a market leader in retractable loading platforms, with 70%+ market share, ~900 decks, and expected FY26 revenue of $11m and EBITDA of $6.3m.
Both acquisitions are highly complementary, expanding market reach and capabilities, and are expected to deliver synergies of $1.25m in the first 12 months.
The acquisitions align with a proven acquisition and integration strategy, with experienced management teams retained for continuity.
Funding and financial impact
Funded by a fully underwritten $70m two-tranche institutional placement at $0.85 per share and a $10m Share Purchase Plan (SPP) for eligible shareholders.
$19.5m of the funds raised will be allocated to debt reduction, reducing net debt/EBITDA from 2.4x to 1.5x by June 2027.
If AGIS is not approved by the ACCC, excess funds will be used for further debt reduction.
Pro forma net debt will decrease from $165m to $146m post-transaction, with a targeted net debt/EBITDA range of 1.0x to 1.5x.
The equity raising represents approximately 26% of existing shares, with new shares issued at a 6.6% discount to last close.
Strategic rationale and business mix
AGIS acquisition strengthens the industrial access platform, expands exposure to resources and maintenance sectors, and introduces new capabilities.
Preston SuperDeck® fills a key product gap, enhances cross-selling, and provides access to Tier 1 customers and structural growth tailwinds in high-rise construction.
Post-acquisition, the business mix will be 65% industrial access and 35% construction services by revenue, with EBITDA split 55% construction services and 45% industrial access.
The company has a strong track record of integrating acquisitions, with significant revenue lifts from previous deals.
Strategic focus remains on diversification, disciplined investment, and maintaining a stable capital structure to support growth opportunities.
