This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Capital-heavy utility growth is funded by operating cash, but rising dividends still exceed the cash left after investment.
Cash conversion recovered after FY2023: operating cash flow increased from$67.7M to$229.7M by FY2025, while capital spending climbed to$236.8M . That recovery brought free cash flow close to balance, but it remained negative at-$7.1M , meaning reinvestment still absorbs nearly all internally generated cash despite reported profitability.
