Summary

The company maintained consistent occupancy levels and improved its underlying Centre EBITDA margin from 11% in Q3 to 12% in Q4, demonstrating effective cost control and operational efficiency.

Key investments were made in marketing and family engagement initiatives to drive growth. The company also addressed a takeover bid from Embark Early Education Limited, recommending shareholders to reject the offer.
