AML3D Posts First-Ever Half-Year Profit as FY26 Revenue Jumps 70%

First Profitable Half-Year Backed by US Navy Demand

Australian metal 3D printing company AML3D Limited delivered its first profitable half-year in the six months to June 30, 2026, booking EBITDA of $608,000 as full-year revenue jumped 70%.

The company finished the year with $26.7 million in cash, which it says funds expansion plans. A $12 million investment, described as $17 million when combined with UK spending, will double manufacturing capacity in the United States. Another $5 million goes to a new UK Technology Centre, and $2.24 million funds next-generation manufacturing technology in Australia.

Managing Director Sean Ebert said diversification beyond defence work is beginning to pay off. "The 2026 financial year saw rapid growth in ARCEMY system installations and component manufacturing in the USA. It is encouraging to see our strategy of moving beyond the US Defence market begin to gain traction. During the year, we achieved record revenue growth and delivered our first profitable half-year in the second six months."

Ebert added that momentum carried into the new financial year. "Demand that supported our FY26 performance has continued into FY27. While we continue to deliver the $16.8 million orders in hand, we are also working to convert our $78 million global sales pipeline and have visibility on potential near-term contracts in the US and the UK."

Defence Contracts and Certifications Build the Case

Beyond the headline numbers, AML3D spent the last 18 months laying infrastructure. Austal USA purchased an ARCEMY Small Edition system for the Navy's Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Danville, Virginia. HII ordered four ARCEMY X systems for Newport News Shipbuilding, deals that sit alongside a 14-system Navy supply chain figure.

The company also retained AS9100D, DNV, and Lloyd's Register certifications covering roughly two-thirds of the global class-certified marine market. It advanced a $2.24 million multi-robot, twin-wire deposition project to print larger parts faster with less waste. On governance, Frederick J. Stefany, the Navy's former Maritime Industrial Base program manager, joined AML3D USA's board.

Together, these moves support the FY26 order book and give the company credibility as it pursues further growth across Australia, the US, and the UK.
