Bubs Australia Issues Fresh Fiscal 2026 Outlook Amid Impact of Middle East Conflict, Competitive Pressures

By

Bubs Australia (ASX:BUB) expects fiscal 2026 underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of about AU$4 million to AU$8 million on revenue of AU$105 million to AU$115 million, according to a Friday filing with the Australian bourse.

The company previously forecast fiscal year 2026 underlying EBITDA of AU$6.1 million on net revenue of AU$120 million to AU$125 million, according to a November 2025 filing.

The company said it has worked to mitigate the impact of a range of external factors, including a shifting regulatory environment, product availability constraints, the Middle East conflict, and competitive pressures.

"That has meant carrying additional costs in the short term, but it has also allowed us to move quickly and position the business to meet our growth ambitions," said CEO Joe Coote.
