Descriptiontext

AMA Group Limited (ASX: AMA) is Australia's and New Zealand's largest collision repair network, operating 140+ locations with 3,200+ team members and serving more than 300,000 customers annually. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Melbourne, the company runs an integrated platform of operating brands: AMA Collision, AMA Prestige, Capital SMART, and Wales Heavy Vehicle Repair for physical repair services; ACM Parts for Australia's largest alternative and specialty parts distribution business (including a 19,000 sqm Queensland distribution centre); and specialist businesses TechRight (ADAS calibration), TrackRight (mechanical services), Smart AVR (automated visual recognition for vehicle assessment), and Premier Windscreens (glass repair). The company holds multiple OEM certifications, including consecutive Bentley Bodyshop of the Year Asia Pacific awards (2022–2023) and CUPRA Authorised Repairer status, and employs over 100 I-CAR Platinum Technicians.

The business generates revenue predominantly through transaction-fee repair services quoted per job, with pricing not publicly disclosed and varying by vehicle type, damage extent, and repair requirements. Go-to-market is sales-led across three primary channels: direct-to-consumer through the owned location network (insured vehicle owners, private customers, fleet operators) accessed via insurance preferred-repairer referrals, fleet and vehicle management company contracts with capped-price transparency and roadside assistance, and wholesale parts distribution through ACM Parts to third-party repairers. Customer segments span insured vehicle owners, fleet operators, insurance companies, heavy vehicle operators in logistics/transport/defence, and private owners.

The operating model connects repairers, dismantlers, and parts distributors under one umbrella — ACM Parts reclaims components from end-of-life vehicles (6,320 dismantled in FY2023, with reclaimed components up 20%+), feeds them back into AMA's own repair network and external distribution, and pairs with the recently launched TechRight ADAS calibration service (with 30-40 calibrations per week per site, internalising 20,000+ outsourced calibrations annually). Recent strategic moves extend the platform into electric bus assembly through a 2025 partnership with Hong Kong-listed GEMILANG International and a multi-site Australian rollout combining acquisitions (Burleigh Heads, Darwin), greenfield regional expansion (Bundaberg), and OEM certification expansion (CUPRA across three sites).

YahooAMA Group Ltd (AMGRF) (FY 2026) Earnings Call Highlights: Record Revenue and First Dividend ...AMA Group Ltd reported record revenue of $1,039 million for fiscal year 2026 and returned to profitability with a net profit after tax of $7.7 million, reversing a previous loss. The company declared its first fully franked dividend since 2019 while maintaining positive guidance for FY27 EBITDA between $75-80 million. Despite strong overall performance driven by the Specialist division and ACM Parts turnaround, Capital SMART EBITDA declined due to lower incentives and Wales business volumes dropped.Seeking AlphaAMA Group Limited (AMGRF) Q4 2026 Earnings Call TranscriptAMA Group held its FY '26 results call on August 20, 2026, with Group MD Raymond Smith-Roberts and CFO Domenic Romanelli. The company reported record revenue of $1.039 billion and full-year pre-AASB 16 normalized EBITDA of $68 million, up 8.6% on FY '25, driven by growth across most businesses despite Q4 repair volumes being affected by elevated fuel prices.EIN PresswireMorgan Business Sales Releases 2026 M&A Report on Australia's Automotive Services SectorMorgan Business Sales has released its 2026 M&A overview of Australia's smash repair and automotive parts sectors, with the smash repair sector generating an estimated $9.6 billion in revenue during FY2025–26 across 18,889 registered businesses. The report highlights that structural fragmentation combined with an ageing vehicle fleet has made the sector a prime target for institutional consolidation, with over 130 private equity firms globally expressing interest in the collision repair sector as of 2025. Active M&A activity in Australia includes Bain Capital's rejected $1.83 billion bid for Bapcor and AMA Group's accelerated acquisition programme following a $125 million capital raise, alongside valuation benchmarks ranging from 2.0 to 8.0 times EBITDA depending on business characteristics such as insurer panel status and EV or ADAS certifications.Seeking AlphaMittleman Value Partners 2025 Year-End & Q1 2026 Investment ReviewMittleman Value Partners reported that its representative account gained 19% net of fees in 2025, outperforming the S&P 500 (17.9%), Russell 2000 (12.8%), but underperforming the MSCI ACWI (22.9%); the portfolio dropped 4.59% net of fees in Q1 2026, underperforming all benchmarks due to lack of natural resources exposure and a stronger USD. The fund's portfolio trades at a weighted average of 6.0x EBITDA, with the investment manager identifying market misperceptions about A.I. disruption creating opportunities in overlooked value stocks, including six new positions added during Q1 2026. Christopher Mittleman noted insider buying activity across holdings like AMA Group Ltd., Mattel Inc., and newly purchased Nexi Spa as encouraging catalysts.Seeking AlphaAMA Group Limited (AMGRF) Q2 2026 Earnings Call TranscriptThe article reports on AMA Group Limited's Q2 FY 2026 earnings call, revealing a 22% increase in EBITDA and a 6% rise in revenue, with positive growth across its segments. The company outlined ongoing operational improvements, network expansion, and a target to reach a 10% EBITDA margin within the next 3 to 4 years.HrtodayAngelique Zammit Appointed as Chief People Officer at AMA Group LtdAngelique Zammit has been appointed as Chief People Officer at AMA Group Ltd, the largest collision repair network across Australia and New Zealand, based in Melbourne.
