PGW Chair, John Nichol, said “PGW delivered a stronger financial performance in FY26 compared to the prior financial year, supported by improved conditions across several key agricultural sectors and the continued execution of its growth strategy.
“Operating Revenue of $1.1 billion was up $99.0 million and Operating EBITDA of $64.3 million was up $8.2 million on the prior year. Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $15.6 million was up $4.9 million or 46%. This financial year marks the first time PGW has exceeded $1 billion in revenue since the divestment of PGG Wrightson Seeds in 2019, which is a positive indicator of the continued growth in our business.
“Improved returns across the red meat, dairy, wool, parts of the horticulture sector, and rural property sector contributed to stronger farmer confidence and increased investment activity. These favourable market conditions, combined with disciplined operational execution and continued investment in strategic initiatives, supported improved earnings across the Group.
