FY26 · Released 29 May 2026

Historical setup

What HY26 said to watch

From Pre-lease FCF fell to NZ$-7.2m as gross borrowings rose 61.9% to NZ$34.0m

The shape context shows HY25 was 20.9% of FY25 revenue, implying NZ$50.0m of 2H25 revenue against the current annualised HY26 run-rate of NZ$28.4m. If a similar shape holds, FY26 revenue should materially exceed the HY annualisation. However, FY25 NPAT was NZ$-21.5m with only NZ$-0.1m booked in HY25, meaning effectively the entire FY25 loss landed in 2H.

No FY26 guidance, quantified 2H expectation, or stated target was provided. The seasonal shape means an HY26 loss does not by itself signal FY26 deterioration, but it also offers no early read on whether 2H26 will repeat the heavy 2H25 NPAT outcome.

Open questions

Open questions from HY26

  • What specifically drove the NZ$7.5m OCF swing beyond the disclosed inventory and receivables movements?
  • Why did gross borrowings rise NZ$13.0m when the year-on-year FCF gap was NZ$8.3m, and what is the remaining undrawn facility?
  • How does management expect the NZ$48.8m inventory balance to convert through 2H26 seedling sales?
  • Will US revenue recognition in 2H26 materially reduce the 99.3% Brazil concentration, and what level is management targeting?
  • Does management expect FY26 NPAT to repeat the heavy 2H25 loss pattern, or is the 2H NPAT trajectory expected to differ?

This briefing cannot assess management's specific 2H26 revenue, margin, or working-capital expectations because no quantitative forward guidance or target was disclosed in the release.
