Full Year 2026 guidance

FY26 presents a valuable reset for Synlait, with the entry into an agreement to sell its North Island assets. The sale will strengthen the company’s financial position, with the proceeds used to significantly reduce debt. The targeted completion date for the sale is 1 April 2026.

The sale enables Synlait to refocus on its core operations in Canterbury, with a renewed emphasis on operational stability at its Dunsandel facility, which will assist in driving longer-term profitability. Continued growth in the company’s Dairyworks business will also support this focus.

Given the scale of the strategic reset, the company will not provide further financial guidance for FY26, as it concentrates on executing the North Island sale and building a simpler and more focused Synlait in Canterbury.

The Board is committed to making the most of the strategic opportunities ahead and aims to have an updated strategic plan in place by March 2026.
