Latest Goodwill Impairment News

COSOL’s revenue fell 15.6% in FY26 and the ASX-listed asset management technology company swung to a $4.0 million statutory loss after goodwill impairments. Management is betting that leaner operations, new transport contracts and AI-led services can restore profitable growth, but the recovery still needs to show up in revenue.

DGL Group’s FY26 annual report lays bare a difficult year: revenue and underlying earnings fell, statutory losses widened and the auditor issued a qualified opinion over opening inventory. Management is betting on cost cuts, fuller facilities and a new liquid waste plant to repair performance in FY27.

Altech Batteries reported a $43.4 million FY2026 loss after abandoning its two major German battery projects, while its CERENERGY subsidiary filed for insolvency and a proposed Malaysian asset sale fell through. The company now faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

FirstWave Cloud Technology has sharply reduced its FY26 loss and generated positive operating cash flow as network monitoring and Latin American revenue accelerated. But a $5.35 million net current asset deficiency, covenant breach and planned capital raise leave the turnaround dependent on continued execution.

Stakk Limited (ASX:SKK) delivered a sharp FY2026 revenue increase and moved to audited operating profitability, but its next test is considerably larger: integrating ParaScript while servicing new debt and converting contracted revenue into cash. The company is targeting A$55.2 million of pro forma revenue and A$18.5 million of EBITDA in FY2027.

Pure Foods Tasmania has warned of a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after reporting an $8.6 million FY2026 loss, negative cash and a breach of its Commonwealth Bank covenant. The company expects its existing funding facilities to fall short from approximately February 2027, with further equity funding still uncommitted.

Duxton Farms has warned of a material uncertainty around its ability to continue as a going concern after a merger-driven loss, sharply higher borrowings and heavy cash outflows. The agricultural group is relying on asset sales, cost reductions and fresh funding while it tries to shift from mature broadacre assets into longer-dated development projects.

RPM Automotive Group’s audited FY26 accounts confirm a sharp deterioration in earnings, a $4 million goodwill impairment and banking covenant non-compliance. Management is now treating FY27 as a transition year focused on cash generation and operational repair.

The company is targeting double-digit underlying EBITDA growth in FY27, while its strategic options review remains unresolved.

Perpetual returned to statutory profitability in FY26 and lifted underlying profit and dividends, helped by Corporate Trust and cost savings. But the annual report also exposes the pressure points behind the recovery: $25.1 billion in Asset Management outflows, a $63.5 million TSW impairment and an uncertain Wealth Management sale.

Frontier Digital Ventures has shrunk its top line by 27% as it exits low-margin businesses, but the reset delivered higher EBITDA, a 17% margin and near-total free cash flow conversion in the first half of FY2026. The next test is whether pricing and cost discipline can lift earnings without further customer erosion.

Pure Foods Tasmania reported a $8.78 million loss for FY26, largely driven by significant non-cash write-offs, while operational changes and acquisitions aim to stabilise growth.
