Operating cash flow improved by $1.7 million, achieving $12.2 million.

There were no dividends declared for 1H26, and income tax expenses reflected the earnings uplift. The organisation also focused on operational improvements, including planned site closures and relocations within its AMA Collision and ACM facilities.
