Grand Banks Yachts net profit plunges 61% in H1 FY2026

Its gross profit was dragged by the higher proportion of lower-margin trade-in/pre-owned boats and less favourable foreign exchange.

 

Grand Banks Yachts reported net profit attributable to shareholders of about $2.94m for the first half ended 31 December 2025 (H1 FY2026), down 61.2% from about $7.6m a year earlier, according to a filing.

 

Gross profit fell 19.3% to $17.536m, with gross margin narrowing to 24.6% from 32.4%, and operating profit declined 54.9% to about $5.3m.

 

The company attributed this to the higher proportion of lower-margin trade-in/pre-owned boats and less favourable foreign exchange.

 

It also reported a net order book of $144.7m as at 31 December 2025, compared with $156.6m at 30 June 2025.

 

Earnings per share declined to 1.57 cents from 4.05 cents, whilst revenue rose 6.2% to $71.4m.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $14.2m for the period, compared with positive operating cash flow in the previous year, mainly due to higher working capital tied up in inventories.

 

Inventories increased to $44.9m from $28.9m as at 30 June 2025, reflecting additional demonstration boats and trade-in or pre-owned vessels held for sale.

 

Cash and fixed deposits stood at $24.161m as at 31 December 2025, whilst total borrowings were $10.6m and deferred consideration amounted to about $24.2m.

 

An interim dividend of 0.5 cent per share was declared, payable on 27 March 2026.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
