RPM Automotive Group Limited, a key player in the Australian automotive aftermarket sector, announced its H1 FY26 results, highlighting a challenging trading environment with a 10.9% decrease in revenue to $53.5 million. Despite a decline in gross profit and negative net cash flow, the company reported an 8% increase in EBITDA. Challenges were observed in the Wheels and Tyres division due to reduced fleet purchases, while the Repairs and Roadside segment saw a slight revenue increase. The Performance and Accessories division experienced a sharp revenue decline following the sale of an underperforming division, whereas the Motorsport segment showed robust growth. The company remains committed to its Tyre Recycling Program, and strategic initiatives are expected to improve performance in the second half of FY26.
