Bank facilities were expanded by 62.5% to a total of AUD 52 million during FY26, reflecting increased liquidity to fund growth.
Earnings metrics showed strength with EBITDA of AUD 42.43 million and EBIT of AUD 38.38 million, and pre-tax margin rising to 11.2% (vs 8.0% previously), with a second-half margin of 12.3%.

The company highlights ongoing geographic expansion in New South Wales and Victoria to service large hyperscaler projects, underscoring a growth-focused strategy in data centre and infrastructure markets.
SKS Technologies Group Limited has declared a fully franked dividend of AUD 0.065 per share for FY26, as the electrical contractor reported a 93% surge in after-tax profit to AUD 27.11 million, according to Kalkine. The ex-dividend date is 17 September 2026, with payment due on 16 October 2026.
The results mark a record year for the ASX-listed company. Revenue jumped 33% to AUD 347.93 million, driven by explosive growth in data centre work, Motley Fool Australia reported. Analysts responded with a Buy rating and a target price of around AUD 9.40 per share.
Data Centres Fuel a Near-Doubling of Profit
Data centre revenue was the standout driver. It jumped 47.6% to AUD 207.70 million in FY26, making up the bulk of total sales, according to Kalkine. Traditional electrical work also grew, rising 16.0% to AUD 140.30 million. The Delta Elcom acquisition helped push those gains.
Pre-tax profit rose 89% to AUD 39.35 million. The pre-tax margin expanded to 11.2%, up from 8.0% the year before. In the second half alone, margin hit 12.3%, showing the business is getting more efficient as it scales, TipRanks noted.
Strong Cash Flow Backs Expanded Bank Facilities
SKS generated AUD 45.66 million in operating cash flow during FY26. Net cash flow came in at AUD 17.13 million. Cash on hand rose 52.7% to AUD 49.60 million, giving the company a solid financial cushion, Motley Fool Australia reported.
The company also expanded its bank facilities by 62.5% to a total of AUD 52 million. That extra credit capacity is designed to fund continued growth. EBITDA reached AUD 42.43 million, and EBIT came in at AUD 38.38 million, according to au.investing.com.
New Facilities and Workforce Growth Signal Rapid Expansion
SKS opened a new Victorian headquarters and secured a 6,200 square metre facility in Melbourne during FY26. It is also expanding into New South Wales and Victoria to service large hyperscaler projects — the massive data centres built by companies like Google and Microsoft, TipRanks reported.
The workforce grew 22.7% over the year. The company recorded zero lost-time injuries, a key safety metric. Net tangible asset backing per share rose to 20.63 cents. There is no dividend reinvestment plan in place, meaning shareholders receive cash payouts directly.
SKS Sets Sights on AUD 500 Million Revenue in FY27
SKS has guided for FY27 revenue close to AUD 500 million. That would represent roughly 44% growth from FY26's record AUD 347.93 million. The target is backed by a strong pipeline of data centre and infrastructure contracts, according to TradingView.
The dividend carries 100% franking at a 30% corporate tax rate. No shareholder, court, ACCC, or FIRB approvals are needed before the payment timetable kicks in. au.investing.com noted that SKS shares rallied after the results, reflecting investor confidence in its growth and capital-return strategy.
