Interim NPAT up 94%
MUA reported a 94% lift in normalised NPAT to A$5.6m in H116 on the back of 52.7% revenue growth and margin expansion in both gross profit and EBITDA. The company delivered a record EBITDA margin of 52.5%, up from 43.7% y-o-y. Revenue and EBITDA, however, were respectively 3% and 6% below the Q216 guidance provided by the company in May due to lower than expected revenue from the Americas, which were affected by currency weakness against the US dollar and lower click-out rates. Offsetting this was strong growth from Asia-Pacific and EMEA, demonstrating the benefit of MUA’s geographic reach.
