AEMO has increased the capacity allocation for Frontier Energy’s Waroona Stage One project by 10.95MW, lifting expected annual Reserve Capacity Payments to about $36 million.

SkyCity has reiterated its FY27 earnings outlook after first-quarter trading remained in line with expectations, despite subdued consumer conditions in New Zealand and Australia.

First Graphene reported unaudited first-quarter income of about A$201,000, up 21% year on year, as PureGRAPH moved into new cement, mining, composites and footwear applications.

Camplify Holdings generated $1.438 million in operating cash flow in the first quarter of FY27 and ended September with $11.333 million in cash and no debt.
