  "account": "Duratec Limited reported a broadly flat FY 2026 revenue of AUD 570.3 million, but showed strong profitability improvements. The company's normalized EBITDA increased by 10.5% to AUD 58.5 million, while EPS rose to AUD 0.0925. Gross margin expanded to 20.5% from 18.6%, driven by better project selection and more self-performed work. The order book grew by 66.9% to AUD 650.8 million, giving Duratec a solid foundation for FY 2027. Management highlighted that FY 2026 was shaped by project timing rather than weaker demand, and the year marked the \"best standing start\" in the company's history. The performance suggests stronger underlying performance than the flat revenue figure indicates, with operating leverage and better margins playing a significant role. Duratec's outlook for FY 2027 is positive, with the company expecting to deliver 70% to 80% of its order book, translating to AUD 455 million to AUD 520 million in revenue.",
