Duratec’s order book at record level


Staff reporter

Australian steel and concrete remediation specialist Duratec could be in line for bumper revenue and earnings growth in FY2027 after finishing the 2026 fiscal year with a record A$651 million order book – up nearly 67% on the same time last year – and master service agreements.

Western Australian investment firm Shaw and Partners said in a research note circa-$685 million of work to be delivered in FY27 augured “very well for our FY27 revenue forecast of $694 million”.

“Additional medium-to-large project wins [are] expected throughout the first half FY27,” the firm said. “[Duratec is] currently working on 13 ECI [early contractor involvement] projects with a potential of $280 million-plus in project revenue.”

Shaw also sees a full-year contribution from FY26 acquisitions, EIG, PWA, RGK Resources and Hunter Coatings, adding positive momentum.

Duratec’s main markets are mining and industrial (20% of revenue), building and façade (24%), energy (16%) and defence (28%). The company booked record FY26 EBITDA of $58.5 million, up 10.5% on the previous year, and a higher, 10.3% EBITDA margin on $570.3 million of revenue. Net profit of $23.8 million was up 4.1% year-on-year.

Other emerging markets had a positive outlook “supported by a strong pipeline across the marine, water and transport infrastructure markets”.

The company had $78.8 million of cash on hand at the end of FY26.

ASX-listed Duratec’s share price is up about 12% year-to-date, capitalising the company at $530 million.
