Synlait Milk Limited

listed · Dairy · FY-end 07-31

Dual-listed milk processor (Canterbury-based Dunsandel plant, Dairyworks, and until the Abbott deal, North Island assets). Same July year-end as Fonterra, so milk price lines up with the Fonterra Farmgate Milk Price. FY24–FY25 were dominated by losses, Dunsandel manufacturing issues, debt reduction, and the North Island sale. Reported NPAT and “underlying” NPAT/EBITDA diverge a lot — both are in the company pack. FY26 HY still includes North Island operations unless noted.
