19 February 2026: Enero Group has today announced its results for the six months ended 31 December 2025, with the Group reporting strong EBITDA growth of 15% and more than doubling in net profit, representing an 119% increase, compared to FY25 H1.
The Group’s Australian businesses – BMF and Orchard – recorded an outstanding first half, with BMF’s margin increasing from 19% in FY25 H1 to 23.2% in FY26 H1, while Orchard’s margin surged from 13.5% in FY25 H1 to 20.3% in FY26 H1, with all businesses achieving margins in the double digits.
Throughout the half, BMF continued its growth trajectory, delivering a 19% increase in net revenue, 45% growth in EBITDA, and a 4.2 percentage points margin expansion, when compared to FY25 H1. In addition, Orchard also built on its momentum achieving an 18% boost in net revenue, strong 78% growth in EBITDA, and a margin growth of 6.8 percentage points.
Meanwhile, Hotwire – which includes ROI DNA – maintained a robust double digit EBITDA margin, reflecting disciplined and market-leading execution in a challenging global technology sector environment.
Despite persistent global macroeconomic pressure, Enero strengthened its capabilities and delivered work recognised globally for its quality, effectiveness and execution. BMF was lauded for its creativity, consistency, culture and effectiveness as it was named Australia’s Most Effective Agency at the Australian Effie Awards for the second consecutive year, as well as winning back-to-back B&T Awards for People & Culture. Orchard took home the PRIME Healthcare Award for Marketing Campaign of the Year for the second year in a row, the award for Corporate Social Responsibility, and a highly commended for Best Public Health Initiative.
In addition, Hotwire continued to build strong momentum through its agency transformation, with Grant Toups joining as Global CEO in January and further strengthening its position as a technology-driven communications and consultancy business, highlighted by the global launch of its annual AI report with House of Beautiful Business at the World Economic Forum in Davos and increasing demand for its proprietary AI products and advisory services.
Alongside key industry recognition, the Group secured several significant business wins and client expansions, including clients such as L’Oreal, Moody’s, Chime, Global Foundries, Dementia Australia, and HCF.
Speaking to the Group’s momentum, Ian Ball, Chief Executive Officer, Enero Group, said: “The Group’s first-half performance reflects the strength, focus and execution of our agency portfolio. Each of our businesses play a clear role, operate in areas of sustained client demand, and are investing in capabilities that directly improve the quality, consistency and effectiveness of the work we deliver for clients.
“This approach allows us to execute with consistency today, while retaining the flexibility to respond as market conditions change. That combination has supported a strong first half and positions the Group well to continue building momentum over the remainder of the year and beyond.”
Alongside the Group’s H1 FY26 results, Enero announced the appointment of Tracy Leung as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.
Ian Ball, Group CEO, said: “Tracy’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer reinforces our focus on performance, transparency and stability as we advance the Group’s transformation and growth agenda. She brings more than two decades of international experience and has played a key role in strengthening financial discipline, deepening investor engagement and improving portfolio visibility since joining Enero over three years ago.”
