Analysis · AIIR · Manufacturing
The September investor presentation discloses H1'26 net debt of $344.8M and leverage of 2.5x Adjusted EBITDA — up from 2.1x and $290.6M at FY25. That is a meaningful deterioration in the balance sheet, driven by IPO-related cash outflows and the $20M Greentank investment. Management frames it as temporary, guiding to broadly stable leverage at FY26 year-end and a long-term target of 2.5x, but the near-term jump is the key new fact. The deck also adds FY26 capex guidance of $15M-$18M and a ~15% effective tax rate, plus medium-term targets including high-single-digit FSM Adjusted EBITDA growth. The core H1'26 P&L figures (revenue $206.9M, Adjusted EBITDA $71.7M) were already disclosed on August 20, so the incremental value here is the balance sheet and forward guidance detail.
