Shares rose modestly by 1.9% as Treasury Wine Estates delivered results largely in line with expectations, supported by Penfolds' strong depletions growth and margin management, even as margin compression and ongoing transformation-related headwinds temper enthusiasm.
- FY26 EBITS came in at $492 million, slightly ahead of guidance, driven by strong fourth-quarter Penfolds performance.
- Statutory NPAT was a loss of $1.1 million due to a $558 million noncash impairment related to U.S. supply chain rebalancing.
- NSR per case declined 3%, reflecting portfolio mix and deliberate reductions in parallel imports and inventories, notably in China.
- EBITS margin contracted to 19%, impacted by lower NSR and higher operating costs amid transformation efforts.
- Penfolds maintained solid depletions growth across China, Asia, and Australia; Treasury Americas saw U.S. depletions return to growth in the second half despite first-half supply disruptions.
