Newly listed Australian-based engineer DRA Global has continued a five-year run of growth in its business and global footprint with the posting of 30%-plus increases in revenue and profit for the six months to June 2021.
For H1FY2021, prior to the company’s listing on the Australian and Johannesburg exchanges in July, DRA delivered revenue of $A569.3M - up from $432.2M in the corresponding period.
Underlying EBITA rose to $32.5M (H1FY2020: $25M) and NPATA to $23M ($18.7M). DRA ended the half with cash of $155.5M ($204.8M), following a $49.9M share buy-back payment prior to its IPO. Access to more than $50M of borrowing facilities underpinned its capacity for growth.
With 90% of forecast full year revenue secured, the company is on track to achieve its prospectus forecast $56.9M EBITA.
