Austin Engineering Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2026

Revenue for key months is shifting into the next financial year due to schedule drift, mainly in the Americas, while APAC remains strong.

A unified financial system rollout and increased transparency are planned.

Revenue declined 3% to AUD 170.3 million with net profit after tax at AUD 2 million, impacted by operational inefficiencies and a loss-making OEM contract in Chile.

Revenue grew 22% to $376.7M, with strong gains in North America and APAC, while South America faced margin pressures from a large OEM contract. FY 2026 guidance targets $390–$410M revenue and $40–$46M EBIT, with operational improvements and Chile recovery in focus.
