-- Gentrack Group (NZE:GTK, ASX:GTK) said it now expects fiscal year 2026 revenue of between NZ$229 million and NZ$238 million, lower than its previous guidance, according to a Tuesday filing with the Australian and New Zealand bourses.
The company expects fiscal year 2026 recurring revenue to grow by over 10% to around NZ$174 million. It also expects fiscal first-half revenue of around NZ$110 million, of which roughly NZ$85 million would be recurring, per the filing.
Gentrack said it expects fiscal year 2026 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of NZ$13.5 million to NZ$20 million, and fiscal first half EBITDA of about NZ$7.8 million, both excluding acquisition costs.
The guidance comes as the company has decided "to prioritize growth and global leadership over short-term EBITDA" and continues to invest in international expansion and product development, it said.
The company maintained its medium-term target of a more than 15% compound annual growth rate for revenue.
Additionally, after the release of fiscal first-half results, Gentrack's board plans to launch an on-market share buyback for up to 5% of the company's issued shares, per the filing.
The company's Kiwi shares fell 22% in recent Tuesday trade on the New Zealand bourse.
