In FY 2018, the company revenue increased by 33% to $247.5 million compared to last year. The revenue of the company grew primarily due to Gallery Facades and GCS Summit which were both acquired in FY17 and therefore delivered a full year revenue contribution during FY18 comparatively. The earning per share (EPS) of the company increased by 18.5% to 6.4 cents from the previous year’s 5.4 cents. The group EBITDA of the company increased by 6.9% to $24.2 million in FY 2018. As at 30 June 2018, the company was having a net cash of $35 million which was only $3.8 million in the previous year. Due to a $28.3 million cash inflow arising on the divestment of the GCS Hire business asset, the company generated $23.8 million of net cash inflows from investing activities.

GCS’s share traded at $0.750 with a market capitalization of $317.1 million as on 3 October 2018 (AEST 4:00 PM).
