Strong order book driving growth
The company said in a statement to the ASX that it expected underlying EBITA to be $202 to $208 million and underlying net profit to be $128 to $132 million.
Both figures would be a 70% uplift from the expected results for the current financial year.
The company said:
Guidance assumes a full 12 months' contribution from the Maxim Group acquisition which is now unconditional and is expected to settle on 1 July 2026 and includes 11 months earnings from JPS Group, expected to settle on or around 1 August 2026.
Tasmea said it had consistently delivered compounding earnings growth since its initial public offer, "with a multi-year EBIT and NPAT CAGR of more than 50% from FY24 to forecast FY27".
The company said there were a number of factors which had contributed to this, including growth in high-quality, recurring revenues "with an increasing number of master service agreements, facilities management agreements and long term contract with now more than 120 on foot following recent acquisitions and organic customer growth''.
There were also increasing synergies across the company's portfolio, and the company said the underlying growth from the Tasmea base business was forecast to grow organically at 10% to 15%.
Tasmea also said there were:
Strong industry tailwinds across Australia's key industries including mining and resources, data centres and infrastructure, oil and gas, electrification, power and renewables, waste and water, telecommunications, defence and retail.
The company added:
Tasmea's contracted order book has reached record levels, providing strong forward earnings visibility and reinforcing the Company's ability to deliver sustained organic earnings growth. Demand is underpinned by structural tailwinds across the Group's core markets.
Of the company's expected revenues, 62% would come from recurring revenues and another 17% from secured contracts. Another 12% was expected to come from tendered business.
Management have skin in the game
Tasmea Managing Director Stephen Young said:
We are proud to be providing FY27 earnings guidance that reflects the continued strength and momentum of our business.
