McGrath<\/a> has announced its predicted earnings for the 2021 financial year, with the group\u2019s underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) expected to be more than four times what it was the year prior.<\/h3>\n

On Monday, McGrath released an announcement on the Australia Securities Exchange (ASX) noting the group\u2019s recent positive momentum continued into the second half of the financial year, with McGrath now forecast to have an underlying EBITDA in the range of $16.5 million to $17.5 million, compared with $3.7 million in 2019\/20.<\/p>\n

It follows the release of the group\u2019s\u00a0half-year results on February 22 which showed an underlying EBITDA of $6.6 million, compared with $1.6 million for the prior corresponding period.<\/p>\n

The earning expectation comes on the back of positive market momentum and increased sales volumes.<\/p>\n
