NZX-listed wine maker and exporter, Delegat Group, this week reported a strong FY26 result, with sales revenues of $364.1 million, up 4% on FY25, record operating EBITDA of $134.5 million, up 15% on FY25, and Operating NPAT of $61.5 million, up 20% on FY25.
The Reported NPAT of $39.5 million is down 19% on FY25, primarily driven by NZ IFRS requirement to value biological produce (grapes) at their market value, as opposed to their cost to grow, and a non-cash impairment recognised on the assets of Barossa Valley Estate of $8.7 million. This year’s adjustment for biological produce (grapes) resulted in a write-down of $9.0 million compared to a write-up of $9.4 million in FY25, due to the managed reduction in yields for the 2026 harvest. The non-cash impairment charge in respect of the assets of Barossa Valley Estate reflects a prudent reassessment of future cashflows associated with premium Australian red wine assets. It has no impact on the Group’s cash flow, liquidity, banking facilities or future investment plans. The Group remains confident in the strength of the Group’s core business, the quality of its brands and assets, and its long-term growth prospects.
