Millennium Services Group Ltd (ASX:MIL) has delivered a H1 FY23 result well below prior forecast, with a two-month timing lag between wage increases and pass-through impacting the gross margin over H1 FY23 (down ~190bps to 14%).
With these costs now passed through under contract, gross margins improved in Q2 FY23 and are forecast to average around 15% for FY23, implying H2 FY23 margins of ~16%.
This combined with ~$25m-$30m of new contract business wins over the past six months puts the business in good stead for solid growth in H2 FY23 and into FY24.
