FY2026 earnings and cash flow improved sharply

Year ended 2026-06-30; announced 2026-08-24 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Mitchell Services reported FY2026 EBITDA of A$42.8m, up 67% on FY2025; profit after tax of A$15.2m versus A$0.5m; operating cash flow of A$37.4m, up 107%; and net cash A$3.5m versus net debt of A$8.4m at FY2025 year-end. The company declared a 2.0c fully franked final dividend, bringing FY2026 dividends to 6.0c/share. Chairman Nathan Mitchell described the result as among the strongest in the company’s history. The company statement does not quantify individual executive contributions.

Business failures and setbacks

Contract receivable impairment and settlement

FY2021–FY2022 · issuer reported · medium materiality

It agreed an A$5m settlement; the 2022 annual report confirms all three instalments were received, with an additional GST-related impairment reversal.
