Fiscal Year 2026
-
SLS is driving rapid, capital-light growth by focusing on hyperscaler clients, expanding globally, and shifting to memory gigabytes sold as a key metric. FY 2026 EBIT is guided at AUD 165–185 million, with strong tailwinds from memory market dynamics and significant runway for further expansion.

NAM and SA Recycling have transformed operations, achieving higher, more stable earnings and robust margin management through disciplined capital allocation, strategic acquisitions, and enhanced logistics. Both are well-positioned to capture growth from EAF expansion and rising demand for non-ferrous metals.

SLS delivered nearly 70% revenue growth and strong EBIT margin expansion, driven by DDR4 price surges and volume gains, while NAM and SAR offset ANZ's weak ferrous results through non-ferrous strength and operational improvements.

Underlying EBIT surged over 200% to $174.9 million and EBITDA rose nearly 50% to $430 million, driven by margin discipline, strong non-ferrous demand, and operational improvements, despite challenging market conditions. FY2026 outlook remains positive for non-ferrous and SLS.
