Systems unit path to profitability

First profitable half delivered

Systems was loss-making at the April results, and in July the company said it had a profitable H1 on about $8m of orders. The 7 Sep 2026 results confirm it as the first profitable first half, with gross margin up to 26.3% from 13.3%. The CEO now considers the unit fully mobilised and expects strong year-on-year progress.

It expects revenue materially ahead and profit ahead, citing record orders and the phasing of profit recognition on a record contract.
