Bhagwan Delivers Strong FY26 Cash Generation
and Expands Growth Platform
Leading Australian marine solutions company, Bhagwan Marine Limited (ASX: BWN) (Bhagwan or the
Company), is pleased to announce its full year results for the 2026 financial year (FY26). During FY26
the Company delivered strong cash generation, completed the transformational acquisition of
Riverside Marine, maintained strong cost and margin discipline, and continued to build on its solid
foundations for sustainable earnings growth.
The Group delivered statutory revenue of $235.9 million and EBITDA of $42.5 million for FY26, with a
statutory net loss after tax of $0.2 million. Statutory results reflect the reported performance of the
Group during the period and include acquisition-related transaction and integration costs of
$3.6 million.
FY26 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS i
• Revenue: Net revenue was $235.9 million (FY25: $283.0 million), down 16.6%, reflecting the
deferral of short-term projects in the second half due to uncertainty in the Middle East and
organisational restructuring within the energy sector. Activity recovered in May and June and
demand across Bhagwan's core markets remains strong.
• EBITDA: Pro forma EBITDA was $46.1 million (FY25: $50.9 million). The pro forma EBITDA margin
increased to 20% (FY25: 18%), supported by gross margin improvement, effective projectexecution
and disciplined cost management across the Group.
• Cash generation: Pro forma net cash from operations increased by 9.6% to $40.0 million
(FY25: $36.5 million). Pro forma free cash flow was $8.3 million, and cash conversion remained
strong at 90%.
• Dividends: Fully franked dividends totalled 0.8 cents per share for FY26, up from 0.5 for FY25.

INVESTMENT THESIS
Bhagwan's investment thesis is underpinned by a strong core business, with multiple pathways to
sustainable earnings growth and shareholder value creation.
• Strong Core Business – Power of Incumbency: A market-leading position, large multifunctional
fleet, broad geographic footprint and longstanding client relationships generate consistent
opportunities. Bhagwan’s established presence at key marine hubs and long-term contracts
provide a strong base of recurring activity.
• Organic Growth – Significant Upside from Existing Opportunities: The ability to deepen client
relationships and increase service offerings, expand into adjacent markets and project types, and
drive greater utilisation of the enlarged fleet andcapabilities. Arobust pipeline of actionable organic
growth opportunities is already evident, providing strong momentum for sustained expansion and
value creation.
• Acquisitive Growth – Proven Capability: The Riverside Marine acquisition demonstrates
Bhagwan’s capability to identify and execute strategic M&A. The Company will continue to assess
opportunities to expand scale, capability and market reach, with a disciplined focus on strategic
and commercial fit.
• Blue Sky – Emerging Opportunities: Energy transition initiatives, decommissioning and defence
represent significant growth markets. Bhagwan’s early positioning provides a platform to capture
future activity as these markets develop over the medium to longer-term.
OUTLOOK
Bhagwan enters FY27 with a stronger core business, increasing recurring revenue and a broader
national platform following the Riverside Marine acquisition. Integration is on track, with opportunities
to strengthen revenue and earnings as a combined business. Incumbency at key marine hubs,
enhanced business development capability and positive long-term industry fundamentals support
organic growth, while decommissioning and defence provide additional upside as those markets
develop. Management will remain focused on execution, operational efficiency, free cash flow and
sustainable earnings growth.
