Investor update summary
8 Feb, 2026Context and response to market reaction
Recent ASX release about a Spanish subsidiary tax audit led to an unexpected share price drop, but fundamentals remain unchanged.
Disclosure was proactive due to Spanish media coverage, not due to material business impact.
Only one Spanish subsidiary, Mundo, is subject to the current audit, which began on 5 February 2026.
Audit is a normal part of global operations; previous audits have not resulted in material findings.
Governance and compliance are emphasized, with regular engagement with tax regulators.
Financial guidance and trading update
FY26 guidance remains unchanged: TTV margin at least 6.5%, expense growth high single digits, EBITDA margin 44%-47%, CapEx in line with FY25.
FY26 EBITDA guidance of AUD 147m-155m unchanged, representing 22%-29% growth on FY25.
Group-level FY26 guidance: corporate costs ~AUD 24m, D&A ~AUD 31m, net financing costs now AUD 2m lower at ~AUD 13m, effective tax rate ~17%, cash conversion ~100%.
Cash expected to be ~AUD 450m; no impact on access to AUD 200m revolving credit facility.
Net finance costs are being managed down due to improved cost management.
Operational and strategic outlook
Bookings growth and market share gains continue, with no impact from the audit on trading or operations.
