Strong growth in the Defence & Social Infrastructure and Telecommunications divisions propelled FY24 underlying earnings (EBITDA) 9% higher than in FY23 to $245.8m, compared to Canaccord Genuity's $247m estimate.

The broker's main highlight was outlook commentary by management, with guidance upgraded to FY25 NPATA growth of between 10%-12%, up from 7-10%. It's noted key defence contract decisions are pending and will likely be a positive share price catalyst.

An interim dividend of 9.35 cents was declared representing a payout ratio of 75%.

The broker suggests high levels of contracted work underpin the immediate outlook. The Buy rating is maintained, and the target rises to $4.75 from $4.40.

FORECAST
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 20.00 cents and EPS of 26.00 cents.
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 22.00 cents and EPS of 29.00 cents.
