Trading Update summary
6 Jun, 2025Trading performance and outlook
Marginal revenue growth and a slight decline in underlying EBITA expected for FY25, mainly due to subdued Australian LPE reseller demand and weaker 4WD sales.
US LPE demand remains strong, while Australian and New Zealand new vehicle sales are weak, impacting 4WD and related segments.
RV, caravan, and truck market trends remain soft, but PU division demand is solid, supported by wear and repair markets.
Actions on Q3 pricing and operating efficiencies are progressing as planned; corporate costs are set to decrease year-on-year.
Cash conversion is projected at approximately 85%, with a strong balance sheet and leverage within targets; 3% of issued capital repurchased by March 2025.
US tariff update and risk management
US tariffs announced are not expected to materially impact FY25, with US revenue exposure at about 8% of total.
US sales mainly comprise Vision X products from South Korea and some 4WD products from Thailand.
The group is evaluating tactical and strategic responses, including re-sourcing, re-pricing, and alternative supply locations.
Investor engagement and upcoming events
Management will host an investor call on 4 April 2025 to discuss the update.
A 4WD facility site visit in Thailand is scheduled for 8 April 2025.
