AMA Group Limited (AU:AMA) has released an update, revealing a successful $125 million equity raise and an 8.8% increase in unaudited EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the previous year. The company's strong performance can be attributed to several key factors, including improved cash flow, strategic expansions, and operational efficiencies. With a focus on vehicle repair and collision services, AMA Group is poised for continued growth.



One of the primary drivers behind AMA Group's impressive turnaround is the significant increase in normalized pre-AASB 16 earnings for Capital Smart and Wales's heavy vehicle segment. Capital Smart's performance exceeded expectations, with a 18.6% increase in normalized pre-AASB 16 earnings. This growth can be attributed to improvements in customer satisfaction, efficiency and cost initiatives, and a 10% improvement in average repair days. Wales's heavy vehicle segment also saw a remarkable 63% increase in normalized pre-AASB 16 earnings to $5.4 million, driven by operational efficiencies, strategic expansions, and ongoing site upgrades.



AMA Group's strategic initiatives, such as Project Wallaby and the $125 million equity raise, have significantly impacted its financial performance. Project Wallaby is targeting to deliver more than $20 million of annualized benefits over the next three years to AMA Collision, although it is currently behind plan for this year. The equity raise, on the other hand, has helped the company reduce its net debt from $143.9 million to $25.6 million, strengthening its financial position and supporting operational and growth plans.

In conclusion, AMA Group Limited's strong performance in the first quarter of 2025, driven by a successful equity raise, strategic expansions, and operational efficiencies, bodes well for the company's future. The significant increase in normalized pre-AASB 16 earnings for Capital Smart and Wales's heavy vehicle segment, coupled with the ongoing progress of Project Wallaby, positions AMA Group for continued growth and success. As an investor, keeping an eye on AU:AMA stock and its progress can provide valuable insights into the company's ongoing performance and potential.
