Brent Scrimshaw
Group CEO, MD & Director
Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Today, we’re looking forward to taking you through the KMD Brands FY ’26 financial results and outlook and also providing an update on the significant progress we’ve made with our Next Level group transformation in our first year of execution. My name is Brent Scrimshaw, and I’m the CEO of the group, and I’m joined on this morning’s call by Carla Webb-Sear, our Group Chief Financial Officer. We’ll be talking through the presentation lodged on the NZX and the ASX this morning. And unless otherwise specified, all financial numbers are in New Zealand dollars.
I’ll begin with an executive summary of today’s announcements before Carla takes you through the financial detail of our results, and I’ll provide a more comprehensive update on our next level transformation progress and then we finish with a trading and outlook update.
So turning to Slide 4. FY ’26 was a year of significant change for the group and today represents an important milestone on our journey to creating a stronger KMD Brands. At our Investor Day, in September 2025, we launched Next Level, our 3-year turnaround strategy created to unlock the full potential of our brands and return the group to sustainable profitable growth after several years of disappointing performance. I’m pleased to say that we’ve made significant progress against each of our objectives in FY ’26. All 3 brands delivered sales
