Operating Results
The 2024 financial year has seen us continue to deliver on stage 1 of our strategic plan of growth in the Australian market, whilst preparing for our entry into the New Zealand market as an acquirer in financial year 2025.
The financial performance for the 31 March 2024 financial year reflects ongoing growth into our Australian opportunity, continued measured investment in this growth, and further improvement in our operating leverage and ultimate profitability. The headline results include revenues of $96.5m, normalised EBITDA* of $22.3m**, and normalised net profit before taxation of $9.8m**.
Overall revenues were $96.5m, up 24% on the prior year of $77.8m with our Australian revenues showing continued growth throughout the reporting period.
Australian acquiring transactional revenues grew to $79.0m, a 30.6% increase on the prior year.
Normalised EBITDA* grew to $22.3m**, up 21% on the prior year of $18.4m, reflecting the measured approach we take and our ability to leverage our operating base to deliver growth.
Normalised profit before taxation of $9.8m**, up 29% on the prior year of $7.6m is a pleasing result.
Continued investment in terminals and an increased investment in platform and product development has been funded from operating cashflows whilst debt has continued to decrease
In any given GDT Event the GDT website may display a range of results other than price, as explained:
- ' – ' means that the product was not offered.
- ‘n.s.’ (not sold) means that no product was sold.
- ‘n.p.’ (not published) means that product was sold at the starting price, and therefore GDT cannot publish the winning price. For an explanation of this rule, see question 9 in the "Common questions" page under "About GDT" at www.globaldairytrade.info
- 'n.a.' for the Average Winning Price means that no prices were available for that contract period (for the reasons above), and therefore no average price was applicable.
For clarification where GDT publishes ' – ' or ‘n.s.’ (not sold) NZX results will also display a '-' or 'n.s'.
Where the GDT website displays ‘n.p.’ (not published), NZX will display the starting price. Note that the NZX results page will not differentiate between prices that are equal to starting price or those that have exceeded starting prices.
'n.a.' for the Average Winning Price as displayed on the GDT website are not displayed on this results page.
Note that N/A in the table below means there has been no change between current and previous price.
