Austco Healthcare Limited (Austco), a global leader in clinical communications solutions, announces record first-half revenues, growing EBITDA, and accelerating profit growth for the half-year ended 31 December 2025. Total 1H26 revenue was $48.2 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or 30.7%, compared to 1H25. This marks another record result, driven by contributions from recently acquired businesses, alongside continued organic growth, particularly strong in North America and Australia and New Zealand. Software and SMA revenues increased 9% to $5.0 million over the prior comparative period, comprising 18.2% ($8.6 million) of Austco's Unfilled Contracted Revenue. Gross margin improved to 52.2% from 51.1%, despite the inclusion of a full contribution from the newly acquired G&S Technologies, which has a lower gross margin. Overhead expenses increased 23.6% to $16.9 million, well below revenue growth of 30.7%, demonstrating the Group's disciplined cost management and the increasing scalability of the business. EBITDA of $8.3 million in 1H26 was up 60.1% from $5.2 million in 1H25, with EBITDA margins improving from 14.0% to 17.1%. Net Profit Before Tax grew 62.1% to $6.3 million, and Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) for 1H26 was $4.7 million, up 61.7% from $2.9 million in the prior comparative period. Austco's Unfilled Contracted Revenue (UCR) stands at $47.2 million at 16 February 2026, a level maintained consistently since August 2024 despite record revenues being delivered.
The consistent growth trajectory and improving operating leverage position the Company well for continued expansion. The Group remains focused on operational execution, balance sheet strength and long-term value creation within a dynamic healthcare funding environment.
