Profit of $57.4m was 10% below expectations, and 20% below FY18 in what has been a tougher year for MND. While the top line figure was marginally below expectations, higher than expected depreciation number and higher interest expenses contributed to the profit line miss.
The maintenance & industrial services division enjoyed a decent year, seeing revenue grow nearly 20%, however this was more than offset by a 35% fall in revenue across the engineering & construction division to see revenue for the group decline by around 7% in FY19.
