Trading Update
The Environmental Group Limited provides a trading update for the financial year ending 30 June 2025 based on management forecasts and year-to-date results.
As part of its FY24 financial results released to the market on 22 August 2024, EGL disclosed that it expected FY25 Normalised EBITDA to increase over FY24 Normalised EBITDA by approximately 25%.
Since this time, revenue performance across the business has been strong and in line with expectations.
However, one project within the Baltec IES business unit has incurred material cost overruns which will impact on EGL’s EBITDA performance for FY25.
The project is for the engineering, design, and supply of two gas turbine silencer and exhaust gas systems in Singapore. The systems required several design variations including to meet the road transport size requirements from port to destination. Through this design process, the increased weights attributable to the design variations (which drive fabrication costs) were not correctly updated in the Project Management System, resulting in materially reduced job profitability.
As a result of this project cost overrun, EGL now anticipates FY25 Normalised EBITDA to increase by between 10–15% over FY24 Normalised EBITDA.
EGL Chief Executive Officer, Jason Dixon commented, “
We are incredibly disappointed that this issue will reduce EGL’s growth in profitability for FY25, notwithstanding the underlying strength in the business. A full process review has been undertaken to establish how this one-off oversight occurred and to avoid any future blemishes on our otherwise outstanding track record.”
