The issuer

Impact was founded in 1996 is now one of the largest builders of residential homes in Queensland. Impact targets both the property investor and owner occupied markets and has broadened its product range to include townhouses. It has historically operated in South East Queensland and has recently expanded into Victoria and the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. 

In FY15 revenue from house contracting (home building) was $84.7m which represented 82% of total revenue. In FY16 this is forecast to increase to $134.7m, however, due to Impact’s strategy to diversify their product mix, house contracting is expected to fall to 70% of total revenue. Townhouse revenue which was $5.3m and 5% in FY15 and is expected to increase to $27.2m in FY16 and represent 14% of total revenue. It is expected that the townhouse segment will represent around 20-25% of sales revenue over the long term.
