Bega Cheese (ISIN AU000000BGA8) reaffirmed normalized EBITDA guidance of AUD 240 million to AUD 245 million for fiscal year 2027 at its October 21, 2026 annual meeting, as Food and Drink Business reported on October 22, 2026. The company also outlined AUD 110 million of fiscal year 2027 capital expenditure for capacity expansion.

Guidance meets a larger factory base

The investment is aimed at yoghurt, cream cheese and milk-based beverages, with projects expected to come online in fiscal year 2028. Management said first-half earnings were expected to be relatively flat, with stronger growth in the second half.

For fiscal year 2026, revenue reached AUD 3.8 billion, up 6.7 percent, while normalized EBITDA rose 12 percent to AUD 225.6 million. Normalized net profit after tax increased 36 percent to AUD 69.0 million, giving the new guidance a direct operating benchmark.

What does the capex mean for margins?

The answer depends on utilization rather than spending alone. Bega reported fiscal year 2026 capital expenditure of AUD 109.8 million and said net debt rose to AUD 151.6 million, while leverage remained 0.8 times. The company said the Strathmerton closure and production transfer to Ridge Street should support annual cost savings of AUD 30 million from early fiscal year 2027, according to AgriLinkage on October 21, 2026.

Three milestones frame the story
