Infragreen Group Ltd Posts 26% Revenue and 29% EBITDA Growth in FY26

FY26 results headline: a diversified platform compounding growth

In its FY26 annual results presentation, delivered on 26 August 2026 for the year ended 30 June 2026, Infragreen Group (ASX:IFN) reported underlying revenue of $116.8m, up 26% on the prior corresponding period, and underlying EBITDA of $23.9m, up 29%.

The company operates as a diversified infrastructure investor spanning the recycling and waste recovery sector alongside clean energy and energy transition. Management framed FY26 around three investor hooks: a record fourth quarter, a return to statutory profit, and a completed strategic review concluding that the share price materially undervalues the business.

Statutory net profit after tax landed at $7.6m, a return to profit from a prior-year loss of ($18.0m). The result positions Infragreen as a diversified real-asset platform delivering compounding growth while trading below its assessed value.

FY26 results at a glance

The company reported broad-based improvement across its headline underlying metrics, with earnings leverage most visible at the EBIT and NPAT lines.

The FY26 earnings guidance issued in May 2026 targeted underlying EBITDA of $22.5m-$25.0m and flagged NPAT growth of up to 336%, setting the benchmark against which the $23.9m EBITDA result and $7.1m underlying NPAT can now be measured.

Management outlined the following capital-management points alongside the results:

• A 0.5 cents per share final fully franked dividend, taking the full-year FY26 dividend to 1.0 cent (stated 2.6% yield).

• A $10m on-market share buyback that is continuing.

• FY27 guidance for underlying EBITDA of $26–28m.

• FY26 EBITDA of $23.9m landed within the prior guidance range of $22.5m–$25.0m.

Growth is translating into franked income and active capital returns, giving investors both a yield component and a scaling earnings base.

A diversified platform across four businesses

Infragreen owns and operates four mid-market businesses across its two growth sectors. Ownership is held via proportional stakes rather than full ownership, which is why the company reports both 100% business figures and its underlying share.

Standout performer — Energybuild

Energybuild delivered the year’s most pronounced uplift, with revenue reaching $71.0m (FY25: $35.1m) and EBITDA rising to $12.6m (FY25: $3.9m). Installation capacity measured in kilowatts grew 80.3% on FY25.

The presentation stated that Energybuild is the “#1 installer of new-build solar systems in Australia.” Management attributed the growth to National Construction Code (NCC) 7-star energy efficiency standards, which are embedding solar systems into new home construction.

On a segment basis, Energybuild’s underlying EBITDA rose 227%, driving the bulk of the group earnings uplift for the year.

What “mid-market infrastructure investing” means for investors

For readers less familiar with the model, Infragreen acquires controlling or significant stakes in established, profitable mid-market businesses and grows them through organic growth, bolt-on acquisitions, capital allocation and new platforms.

The distinction between “underlying” and “statutory” figures matters here. Underlying figures reflect Infragreen’s proportional share of each business based on its shareholding, offering a cleaner view of the economic interest the company holds across its portfolio.

Real-asset and infrastructure exposure appeals to investors seeking uncorrelated income streams, EPA-licensed and hard-to-replicate assets, and consistent cash generation. Many of the underlying sites carry regulatory approvals that are timely and costly for new entrants to replicate.

Management tied FY26 performance to four growth pillars:

• 24% organic EBITDA growth across the businesses (pre Infragreen expenses).

• Portfolio optimisation prioritising capital to the highest-potential businesses.

• 3 bolt-on acquisitions completed during the year.

• 57 opportunities reviewed in FY26.

Together these frame Infragreen as a compounding capital allocator rather than a single-asset play.

Cash generation and a strengthened balance sheet

The company reported strong cash conversion and a reduction in gearing across the year.

• Underlying net free cash flow of $11.7m (FY25: $8.5m), up 38%.

• Cash conversion ratio of 95% (FY25: 95%).

• Underlying net debt (pre AASB 16) reduced to $14.1m (from $19.6m at 30 June 2025), equal to 0.6x FY26 EBITDA.

• Dividends from businesses to Infragreen of $6.3m, up 111%.

• FY26 included $6.6m of growth capex at Pure Environmental (Karratha and Jackson) expected to drive FY27 earnings.

Low gearing combined with strong cash conversion supports dividends, the buyback and acquisition capacity simultaneously, giving the company multiple levers to deploy capital.

Strategic review confirms a value gap

The Board announced a comprehensive strategic review on 7 April 2026, advised by Grant Samuel (financial) and Talbot Sayer (legal). The review assessed a range of strategic, transaction and capital management options, tested through direct engagement with external parties.

The Grant Samuel appointment in April 2026 marked the formal start of the review process, with the firm selected specifically for its specialist expertise across energy, waste, and core-plus infrastructure assets consistent with Infragreen’s portfolio.

The review reached three core findings:

1. Infragreen’s share price materially undervalues the portfolio, a view held by Grant Samuel and supported by an independent valuation completed in July 2026.

2. The mid-market strategy has delivered strong revenue and earnings growth; capital will be concentrated on the highest-potential platforms, with case-by-case realisations where attractive exit valuations arise.

3. Greater transparency is needed, with an annual independent valuation to be disclosed and enhanced per-investment reporting.

The Board concluded that, despite strong operational and financial performance, Infragreen’s share price has significantly underperformed and does not reflect the value of its investments, with the review focused on closing the gap between share price and underlying value.

The presentation also noted that Pure Environmental shareholders are progressing a potential sale. Infragreen remains positive about the business’s long-term outlook and may participate in the sale, subject to the offer terms. This is a potential process rather than a completed transaction.

Management framed this as the central catalyst, with the Board actively targeting closure of the share-price-to-value gap.

Sector tailwinds and FY27 outlook

The presentation detailed structural policy drivers supporting each segment:

• Waste: the National Waste Action Plan targeting 80% resource recovery by 2030, alongside rising landfill levies.

• Metals: green steel mandates, with 8 major green steel or green iron projects proposed or announced in Australia.

• Solar: NCC 7-star standards, with new home construction forecast to rise to approximately 125,000 homes by FY27.

• Peaking power: an October 2027 capacity-credit catch-up increase of 11%, alongside the SWIS grid’s reliance on peaking power.

Management reiterated FY27 guidance for underlying EBITDA of $26–28m. Next milestones include the AGM and a trading update in November 2026, ongoing bolt-on acquisitions, and a $10m undrawn debt facility available to fund acquisitions.

These structural tailwinds underpin the FY27 growth guidance across all four businesses.

The investment case in brief

The presentation closed by synthesising the key elements of the investment proposition:

• Diversified, uncorrelated real-asset income.

• Strong cash conversion and a history of profitability.

• Long-term policy tailwinds across all four businesses.

• Active capital management, including a 1.0 cent fully franked dividend and a $10m buyback.

• An independent valuation supporting the view that the share price is undervalued.

The near-term proof point remains FY27 guidance of underlying EBITDA of $26–28m, which investors can measure against as the year progresses.
