ACL Earnings: Shares Undervalued as Margins Recover
No-moat ACL’s fiscal 2024 group revenue of AUD 696 million was flat on last year while underlying EBIT fell 4% to AUD 63 million. Both were in line with our expectations and were largely due to higher-margin coronavirus testing revenue falling 59%. The second-half group underlying EBIT was up a strong 67% to AUD 39 million on the first half, with significant improvement in profitability as operational efficiency initiatives helped offset rent and wage inflation.
