    A girl sits on her bed in her room while using laptop and listening to headphones.

    The Superloop Ltd (ASX: SLC) share price is in focus today as the company reported a 33% increase in underlying EBITDA to $122.7 million and a 21.6% jump in revenue to $664.3 million for FY26.

    What did Superloop report?

    • Reported revenue up 21.6% to $664.3 million
    • Underlying EBITDA up 33.1% to $122.7 million, exceeding upgraded guidance
    • Net profit after tax rose to $17.5 million, up from $1.2 million in FY25
    • Free cash flow increased 50% to $84.4 million
    • Customer base grew by 205,000 to a total of 935,000
    • Group nbn market share up 1.9 percentage points to 8.5%

    What else do investors need to know?

    Superloop successfully completed its three-year Double Down strategy in FY26, driving scale, improved margins and strong cashflow. Integration of the Frontier and Lynham acquisitions helped nearly double Smart Communities contracted lots to around 190,000, bolstering future annuity earnings.

    All three business segments – Consumer, Business and Wholesale – delivered revenue and gross profit growth, with the Consumer segment now serving 501,000 customers. Investment in digital and AI solutions drove efficiency, with group margin and operating leverage improving further.

    The Group finished the year with $101.7 million in cash and net debt of approximately $128 million, strengthening its capacity to support organic growth and selective acquisitions.

    What did Superloop management say?

    Superloop’s CEO, Paul Tyler, commented:

    Three years ago, we launched Double Down to build a larger, more profitable and highly cash-generative business. FY26 marks the successful completion of that strategy. We delivered on every commitment we made and finished the year with Underlying EBITDA of $122.7 million, above the top end of our upgraded guidance range. Our growth momentum is continuing. The integration of the Frontier and Lynham acquisitions into Smart Communities has yielded a scaled infrastructure platform that will continue to convert contracted lots into high-margin annuity earnings for years to come.

    We grew all three customer segments while improving group margin, demonstrating the operating leverage inherent in our business model. Strong cash generation gives us the ability to fund further investment in the network, support customer growth and act on acquisitions where we see opportunity to create shareholder value. We look forward to the next phase of growth under SuperCharge29.

    What’s next for Superloop?

    Superloop is now turning to its new “SuperCharge29” strategy, targeting more than $1 billion in group revenue, $200 million in underlying EBITDA, and over 30% reported EPS growth CAGR by FY29. Future investment will be focused on balancing organic growth, expansion of Smart Communities, and selective acquisitions that create further shareholder value.

    FY27 guidance will be provided in November, with management emphasising a disciplined approach to growth and a strong balance sheet to support strategic opportunities.

  • Amaero FY26 results: revenue surges but losses widen

    A hipster-looking man with bushy beard and multiple arm tattoos sits on the floor against a sofa reading a tablet with his hand on his chin as though he is deep in thought.

    The Amaero Ltd (ASX: 3DA) share price is in focus after the company posted a 376% jump in full-year revenue to $18.1 million, but also reported a net loss of $36.5 million as it continued to scale its U.S. operations.

    What did Amaero Inc. report?

    • Revenue: up 376% to $18.1 million (FY25: $3.8 million)
    • Loss after tax: up 49% to $36.5 million (FY25: $24.4 million)
    • Net tangible assets per CDI: 7.16 cents (down from 7.60 cents in FY25)
    • No dividends declared or paid
    • Cash and cash equivalents: $19.4 million at 30 June 2026

    What else do investors need to know?

    Amaero completed a three-year, $72 million capital investment program on time and on budget, commissioning a third EIGA Premium Atomizer and doubling its titanium powder capacity in the U.S. Production was briefly disrupted in May after a flash fire incident at the Tennessee facility, causing a six-week pause in titanium powder manufacturing; no orders were cancelled and staff was retained.

    During the year, the company redomiciled from Australia to the U.S. to better access U.S. capital markets and support opportunities in American defence and manufacturing. Amaero retained its ASX listing via CDIs, and subsequently submitted draft filings with the U.S. SEC for a potential U.S. IPO.

    The company secured multi-year supply agreements—including exclusive deals with Velo3D, Titomic, Knust-Godwin, and United Performance Metals—and was awarded a $6.5 million contract from the U.S. Department of War for developing alternative refractory alloy powders.

    What did Amaero management say?

    Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Hank J. Holland said:

    FY2026 was a very strong year of execution and scale-up for Amaero, as we transitioned from building our core capabilities to commercial delivery and revenue growth. We advanced on many fronts – manufacturing, commercial partnerships, financial structure, leadership, and governance – completing our original three-year, A$72 million capital investment program on schedule and on budget, redomiciling the Company to the United States, and growing full-year revenue by 376% to A$18.1 million.

    What’s next for Amaero?

    Amaero is targeting further growth in FY27, with plans to commission a fourth atomizer and an argon recycling system to improve operating margins. The focus remains on fulfilling new and existing long-term contracts across defence, space, aviation and medical sectors.

    The board is also seeking to complete a potential U.S. IPO and listing in late 2026 or early 2027, pending market and regulatory conditions. A contracted backlog of $23.1 million provides Amaero with forward revenue visibility over the next year.
