22
FY26 has been an important year for Bhagwan
Marine. There was some disruption in the operating
environment during the year, particularly in the
energy sector. Disruption in the Middle East and
organisational restructuring within the sector
contributed to the deferral of a number of select
short-term projects in the second half.
Throughout, we stayed very focused. These were timing effects rather
than structural, and an uplift in activity during May and June was evident.
The reality is that project activity levels in energy markets can evolve
quite quickly. Bhagwan, however, remains a stable, market-leading
business that operates day in, day out.
Our national footprint and duration of our market incumbency,
longstanding client relationships, diverse fleet and experience, provide
Bhagwan with a strong core of recurring activity and allow us to respond
to opportunities across the country.
Resilient Earnings and Strong Cash
Generation
Against that backdrop, Bhagwan delivered net revenue of $235.9 million
in FY26, compared with $283.0 million in FY25.
While revenue was impacted by the deferral of short-term projects,
earnings remained resilient and overall Group profitability increased,
with Riverside Marine making a strong fourth quarter contribution
following completion of the acquisition on 31 March 2026. The Group
delivered an EBITDA margin of 20% for FY26.
Cash generation was also strong, with pro forma net cash from
operations of $40.0 million, up 9.6% on FY25.
Following the inaugural dividend paid in FY25, the Board was pleased to
declare fully franked dividends totalling 0.8 cents per share for FY26, up
60% on the prior year.
Safety Remains Fundamental
Throughout FY26, our safety performance remained very strong.
Bhagwan's LTIFR was 0.77 and TRIFR improved to 6.90 from 8.32 (FY25).
That is particularly important given the growth of the business and the
expansion of our workforce. It reflects the commitment of our people
across the organisation and the professionalism with which they
approach their work every day.
As Bhagwan continues to grow in scale and complexity, maintaining a
strong safety culture and operating discipline will remain fundamental
to the way we do business.
Building on Strong Foundations
Throughout FY26, I was very pleased with the continued progression of
Bhagwan as a public company.
Internally, there has been an enormous amount of work undertaken to
build on our strong foundations and develop the capabilities required of
a business of this scale.
During the year, Bhagwan strengthened its accounting, human
resources, governance and reporting systems, together with its business
development capabilities - critical glue that equips the business for a
solid future as a market-leading listed company.
We have also continued to bring strong commercial discipline to the
business, ensuring Bhagwan is efficient, capable and, importantly,
match fit for the opportunities ahead.
Bhagwan is the largest ASX-listed marine company in Australia, with a
leading market position, an extensive geographic footprint and a large,
multifunctional fleet.
That fleet is a significant strength, particularly in a market where vessel
supply remains tight. Its scale and diversity enable us to respond to
a broad range of client requirements across Australia and position
Bhagwan well in a market characterised by constrained vessel supply.
There is also what I describe as the power of incumbency.
We are there, in the business, every day. We have long-standing
relationships, vessels operating across the country and people who
understand their markets and their clients’ operations intimately.
Demand for our services arrives daily, courtesy of that incumbency.
Riverside Marine - a Transformational
Acquisition
The acquisition of Riverside Marine’s marine fleet and operations was
unquestionably one of the highlights of the year.
It is important to understand the Riverside Marine acquisition in the
broader context of the progression of Bhagwan.
We could not have undertaken a transaction of this significance without
the progress we have made as a listed company in developing our
capabilities, governance and skills, together with the balance sheet
horsepower required to execute an acquisition of this scale.
Anthony Wooles
Chairman’s
Address NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
23
BHAGWAN MARINE ANNUAL REPORT 2026
We have remained clear that disciplined M&A would form part
of Bhagwan’s growth strategy. The Riverside Marine acquisition
demonstrates that we have the capability to deliver on that strategy.
Importantly, this was not simply a bolt-on acquisition. We have acquired
one of the very best marine businesses in the country, with a long and
proud history, high-quality operations and a strong reputation built over
many years. We now have access to adjacent marine segments that
display great potential for sustained growth.
I would particularly like to welcome the Campbell family to Bhagwan
as shareholders and the Riverside Marine team to the Group and
acknowledge the business they have built together over many years. We
have enormous respect for Riverside Marine, its people and its heritage.
The integration to date has been progressing very smoothly. There
is a strong alignment between the cultures and values of the two
organisations. Both businesses have very capable people who are
deeply committed to what they do, providing a strong foundation for
bringing our businesses together.
Focused on Execution
and Further Growth
Our focus now is firmly on ensuring the Riverside Marine acquisition
delivers on its strategic potential.
Management will remain highly focused on the integration of Riverside
Marine and capturing the operational and commercial benefits available
from bringing the two businesses together.
There is still plenty of work to be done. The Board will remain closely
engaged as the integration progresses, while supporting management
in delivering the synergies and opportunities available from the
combined business.
The Bhagwan Investment Thesis
At the foundation is a rock-solid core business. Bhagwan has the
power of incumbency, a large multifunctional fleet, a broad geographic
footprint and longstanding client relationships that generate
opportunities day in, day out.
Beyond that, there is organic growth already available to us. There are
opportunities to do more with existing clients, grow in adjacent markets
and put the capabilities of our enlarged fleet to work across a broader
range of projects.
We have also now demonstrated our capability for inorganic growth.
The Riverside Marine acquisition shows that Bhagwan can identify and
execute strategic M&A. We will continue to assess opportunities where
they make commercial and strategic sense.
Beyond, there is significant blue sky.
Decommissioning, defence and offshore power have the potential to
become significant emerging industry opportunities for Bhagwan.
We need to be disciplined about how we think about the timing of those
markets because we do not control the pace of their development.
Regulatory processes, client decisions and broader market conditions
will ultimately determine when activity accelerates.
We have already demonstrated through our involvement in
decommissioning how substantial individual projects can become,
while defence is presenting increasingly tangible opportunities.
Importantly, we do not need those opportunities to underpin the
strength of Bhagwan today. They sit above a strong core business, and
when those markets develop, we will be well-positioned.
Acknowledgements
FY26 has been about more than one year’s financial performance. It
has been another important step in building on the strong foundations
of Bhagwan and developing the capability, discipline and scale of a
market-leading public company.
That progress is the result of the contribution of many people.
I would like to thank Tracey Horton and Andrew Wackett for their
counsel, commitment and support throughout the year.
I would also like to thank Loui and Kerren for their leadership and
significant contribution throughout the year. Their commitment to
Bhagwan, its people and success has never wavered.
Most importantly, I would like to thank everyone at Bhagwan, including
the Riverside Marine team who joined us during the year. Our people
operate in demanding environments around Australia every day, and
their commitment to safety, our clients and each other is fundamental
to the strength of the business.
Our priorities remain delivering sustainable earnings growth and
creating value for our shareholders.
On behalf of the Board, I thank our shareholders for their continued
support.
