Summary
Ventia Services Group Limited reported a decrease in revenue by 4.7% to $2,893.6 million for the half-year ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to contract transitions in Defence and Social Infrastructure. Despite the revenue decline, underlying EBITDA increased by 8.2% to $273.3 million, with improvements in several sectors. The company's net debt rose by $44.4 million, attributed to increased capital expenditure and share buybacks. Ventia maintained strong liquidity with $880.8 million and complied with all financial covenants. The company continued to expand its contract base with strategic wins, supporting its positive outlook for the second half of 2026. An interim dividend of 11.76 cents per share was declared, representing a 75% payout ratio of NPATA.
