  3. Transaction volumes grew 13% to 18.3 million
  4. 78% of AUD 191 million in UK customer refunds agreed or near finalization

Corporate Travel Management reported an FY26 net profit after tax of AUD 17.7 million, reversing an AUD 348.5 million loss the prior year — a swing of AUD 366.2 million for the corporate travel giant whose shares still trade 86 percent below their 52-week high.

Revenue and other income rose 4 percent to AUD 669.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2026, while underlying EBITDA climbed 36 percent to AUD 113.6 million from AUD 83.6 million. Transaction volumes grew 13 percent to 18.3 million, giving the recovery an operating measure beyond the statutory profit line.

What did the market do with the numbers?

Very little, so far. The stock traded at AUD 2.24 on the ASX on October 7, 2026, up 0.90 percent on the day, valuing the company at AUD 327.8 million. That leaves the share price 86.06 percent below its 52-week high of AUD 16.07 — a collapse that followed a trading suspension and financial restatements rather than anything in the FY26 result itself.

The 52-week range of AUD 1.97 to AUD 16.07 tells the story of the reset. Analysts have not converged on what the company is now worth: StockAnalysis listed a Hold consensus from six analysts as of October 3, 2026, with an average 12-month price target of AUD 5.40 but a published range running from AUD 2.35 to AUD 16.70. That spread reflects how sharply expectations still differ after the restatements.

Why does remediation still shape the valuation?

The earnings recovery did not clear the cost of the UK customer remediation program. According to TravelandTourWorld, 78 percent of refunds — valued at AUD 191 million — had been agreed or were close to finalization during the recovery process. Outstanding remediation obligations and governance work remain the main counterweight for shareholders assessing the result.

The commercial pipeline, however, kept moving. The same report said Corporate Travel Management secured AUD 669 million of new business and AUD 1.5 billion of re-tenders and renewals in FY26, figures that support the operating recovery even as customer payments continue.

What happens next?

With profit restored, underlying EBITDA up sharply and transaction volumes growing double digits, execution — completing the remaining UK refunds and converting the renewal pipeline — rather than the FY26 headline result alone will decide whether the AUD 5.40 average analyst target or the AUD 2.35 floor proves the better guide.
