26 August 2026
Nido Education Limited ACN 650 967 703 (ASX: NDO) (Nido or Company) is pleased to
announce its half year financial and operational results for the period ended 30 June
2026.
Group performance summary
• Delivered a disciplined first-half result in a challenging and evolving operating
environment for the early childhood education sector.
• Group revenue increased to $85.8 million (HY25: $82.8 million), supported by
continued demand for quality early learning and care, expansion of the network and
ongoing execution of the Group’s incubator and acquisition strategy.
• Group Adjusted EBTIDA (AEBITDA) was $4.3 million.
• Adjusted net profit after tax (ANPAT) was $2.1 million.
• At the service level, Nido delivered 434,000 days of learning, service revenue of $81.4
million and service AEBITDA of $10.7 million.
• Despite occupancy commencing at a lower base this year, enquiries have remained
resilient and offers of enrolment have been tracking at approximately 17% ahead of
the prior year.
• External acquisition opportunities continue to provide a pathway for future growth.
• Whilst no dividend has been determined in respect of the half-year ended 30 June
2026, the Board intends to continue paying dividends over the longer term.
Group performance detail
Group revenue for the half was $85.8 million, comprising service revenue of $81.4 million
and establishment and management fees of $4.4 million. Establishment and management
fees continue to reflect the value generated through Nido’s incubator model, including
ASX Announcement - Nido Education Limited ABN 12 650 967 703 2
the development, opening and management of services before they are acquired by the
Group where performance hurdles are met.
Group AEBITDA was $4.3 million, adjusted profit before tax was $2.8 million and adjusted
net profit after tax was $2.1 million. Support office costs were $6.4 million net of
establishment and management fees, reflecting continued investment in the operating
platform, leadership capability, governance and systems required to support the Group’s
owned and incubated network.
Service performance
At the service level, childcare revenue was $81.4 million. Service costs were $70.7 million,
resulting in service AEBITDA of $10.7 million and a service margin of 13%.
The Group delivered 434,000 days of learning during the half year, with an average daily
fee of $183 and a wage-to-revenue ratio of 57%. These metrics reflect both the operating
scale of the network and the importance of continuing focus on conversion, roster
productivity, educator stability and disciplined cost management.
Nido’s operating priorities remain centred on quality education and care, child safety and
protection, family and educator experience, and consistent service execution. The Group
maintained quality ratings above sector averages and continued to invest in curriculum,
environments, training and leadership capability to support improved outcomes for
children, families and educators.
ASX Announcement - Nido Education Limited ABN 12 650 967 703 3
Management’s focus is on converting enquiries and offers into days of learning, improving
productivity and maintaining service quality. These priorities are expected to support
occupancy growth, improved consistency of performance and stronger operating
leverage over time.
Looking ahead
Nido’s priorities for the balance of the year are clear:
1. Converting enquiry into occupancy.
2. Converting improved systems and processes into productivity.
3. Converting the strengthened operating platform into sustainable earnings growth.
4. Continuing to invest in quality, safety, family and educator experience, workforce
capability and disciplined growth.
From August 2026, Nido increased fees within the parameters allowed under the
Government Funded Work Retention Grant. The Group has also commenced a review of
its cost base, with benefits expected to phase in through the year. These initiatives are
focused on improving productivity, consistency and returns while protecting the quality
of education and care delivered across the network.
The Centre Management Agreement with Busy Bees has reached its conclusion.
During the half year, Nido extended its existing NAB banking facility to February 2028 and
increased the facility limit from $55.0 million to $65.0 million. As at 30 June 2026, the
facility was drawn to $47.0 million, with available headroom of $18.0 million. Together,
these changes strengthen Nido’s capital position, providing capacity to pursue
acquisition opportunities while preserving flexibility to support the Group's ongoing
growth strategy.
In its ASX announcement dated 25 February 2026, the Company stated it was targeting
FY26 AEBITDA growth in the order of 20% on the FY25 result, supported by both organic
performance and acquisition pipeline.
The results for the first seven months of FY26, days of learning and labour cost have been
unfavourable to the assumptions underpinning that target, and on based current trading
the Company does not expect to achieve that target within the current financial year.
Accordingly, Nido formally withdraws the previously communicated FY2026 AEBITDA
growth target.
ASX Announcement - Nido Education Limited ABN 12 650 967 703 4
The Company continues to pursue a number of potential acquisitions. Their timing and
completion remain uncertain, and the Company is not currently in a position to quantify
their potential impact on the FY26 result. The Company will update the market if this
becomes clearer.
The Board remains focused on creating long-term value through a disciplined approach
to both organic growth and selective acquisitions. Nido will also continue to evaluate
opportunities that strengthen the Group’s portfolio, enhance earnings quality, and
support sustainable growth over time.
Nido continues to see positive lead indicators across the business, including resilient
enquiry levels, offers of enrolment tracking approximately 17% ahead of the prior year and
a growing pipeline of incubator and external acquisition opportunities. Together with
initiatives to improve conversion, occupancy and cost efficiency, these factors support
confidence in the Group’s medium-term outlook and its ability to create sustainable
shareholder value.

Backdrop of HY26 service performance
Nido’s service results were driven to the backdrop of a challenging operating environment
Challenging operating environment
• Families: cost of living; rising
expectations
• Number of children in centre based
day care decreased by 2.8% in year
to March 20261: less consumption of
ECEC
• Gradual improvement in birth
cohorts from 2026 onwards2
• Increase of 2.5% of ECEC LDC
Centres, unevenly distributed across
the country2
• Early signs of supply reducing
• The balance between demand and
supply is inconsistent across
geographic catchments
Government policy
• Workforce Retention Payment
extension and award increases
support educator attraction and
retention
• Regulation: Evolving regulation is
strengthening safety, trust and
outcomes for children and families
Opportunities for quality operators
• We do not see this as a reason to stand still
• Good operators, with quality services, disciplined
capital management, and a strong culture that
supports wonderful educators, should be well placed
as conditions normalise
• For Nido, the response has been to focus on the levers
we control: quality, safety, family experience, educator
stability, conversion, productivity and disciplined
growth
• The current environment also offers opportunities to
open and acquire services

Nido Education Limited (ASX:NDO) 2026 Half Year Results

Nido Incubation model
Nido has developed a greenfield
incubation strategy to mitigate
risks associated with the
traditional roll up approach
• A third-party incubator initially
owns the service, funds the
development and trade up
losses
• Nido manages the development
and day-to-day operations
• Once acquisition performance
hurdles are met, Nido has a 12-
month option to acquire
Incubation strategy Purpose built
All Nido’s Early Schools are
designed by Nido and managed
by Nido from site selection
through to acquisition
• Services are built to be best in
their markets
• The owned portfolio is
relatively new with the older
services opened in 2019
Nido has access to a de-risked
acquisition pipeline of 100+ Nido
services over the next five years
• Proven performance services
acquired at 4.5x EBIT
• Acquiring at circa 80%
occupancy
• Built with quality and longevity in
mind (30+ year leases, including
renewal options)
Consistent growth
Providing consistent growth of purpose-built services
