Executive summary

• FY2025 revenue was $350.1m, gross profit $60.7m and net profit $14.7m; improved gross margins supported the turnaround.

• Priorities include expanding ship-repair capacity, optimizing the fleet and accelerating debt repayment through operating cash flow and vessel sales.

Financial highlights

• Revenue was $350.1m, up 0.2% YoY, mainly on higher shipbuilding contribution, partly offset by lower chartering and ship-repair revenue.

• Gross profit rose 32.8% to $60.7m; gross margin increased 4.2 percentage points to 17.3%.

• Net profit increased 291.1% to $14.7m despite higher administrative and other operating expenses, mainly due to improved margins.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $83.7m, down 2.4% YoY; net cash flow from operations was $45.8m in FY2025.

• Total assets were $498.1m, total liabilities $387.1m and equity $111.0m at 30 June 2025, versus $543.5m, $450.7m and $92.9m a year earlier.

Outlook and guidance

• Targeted repayment of Club Deal 2 via vessel sale proceeds of $52.6m in FY2026 and FY2027; an overseas charterer has an option to buy a platform support vessel for $23m in FY2027.

• Plans to sell other vessels could further reduce the term loan; fleet optimization aims to improve liquidity, lower maintenance costs and match evolving customer needs.

• Plans include acquiring a third Singapore floating dock to expand ship-repair capacity and pursuing shipbuilding contracts with shorter delivery cycles and lower capital intensity.

• Expected customer demand spans marine infrastructure, oil and gas exploration and production, offshore renewable energy, and bulk cargo transhipment across Asia Pacific and South Asia.
