Celsius Resources has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing its disputed interest in the MCB copper-gold project, while an Equinaire credit bid has complicated ownership of the Philippine asset.

Tribune Resources delivered a sharply stronger FY2026 result, with revenue up 28.4% and profit attributable to shareholders rising to $75.7 million. The result was helped by a $35.0 million reversal of the prior Raleigh impairment, while operating cash flow and year-end cash both fell.

SportsHero’s FY2026 revenue rose above A$1 million as HeroPlay gained traction through Southeast Asian telco partnerships. But the company remains deeply loss-making, burned A$1.9 million in operating cash and carries a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

Peppermint Innovation has shifted from building its Philippines payments platform to commercialising it, but the FY26 report shows the business remains loss-making, balance-sheet constrained and dependent on future funding.
