Summary
Coast Entertainment Holdings Limited reported a significant performance in the first half of FY26, with a 30.2% increase in operating revenue to $62.2 million. The Theme Parks & Attractions sector saw a 169.0% rise in EBITDA to $11.2 million, while the consolidated group's EBITDA rose by 368.2% to $8.7 million, despite corporate cost increases. This resulted in a net profit after tax of $3.2 million, slightly up by 1.4%. The company saw a substantial uplift in deferred revenue, largely due to a 46.6% increase in ticket sales. Dreamworld's launch of King Claw and strategic partnerships, coupled with robust domestic demand, propelled the company's growth. Despite international visitation still below historical levels, the company maintained strong guest satisfaction scores and remains optimistic about future performance. The bank loan facility was increased to $20 million but remained undrawn, indicating strong cash flow management. January year-to-date figures showed further positive growth with a 32% increase in visitation and 36% in ticket sales.
