FY2026 cash generation improved mainly because reinvestment intensity fell while gross margin stayed steady enough to support a profit rebound.
Free cash flow jumped to$411.7M in FY2026 from$106.7M in FY2025, a much larger improvement than the profit line alone would imply. The hidden driver is reinvestment intensity: capex fell to$174.7M from$324.0M , so more of each operating dollar stayed inside the company instead of being recycled into new stores and infrastructure.
