Reliance Worldwide Corporation Limited Announces Its Intention to Close Its Brass Casting, Forging and Machining Operations in Moorabbin and Braeside, Melbourne Reliance Worldwide Corporation Limited announced its intention to close its brass casting, forging and machining operations in Moorabbin and Braeside, Melbourne (Australia), along with additional smaller sites, as part of its ongoing optimisation of its global manufacturing operations. These closures follow a sustained reduction in brass production volumes at the Melbourne facilities over recent years, such that it is no longer economically viable to continue these operations. The changes are expected to deliver net financial benefits to RWC’s consolidated results from Fiscal Year 2027. The decline in brass volumes reflects investment in RWC’s Alabama, USA facility to automate the assembly of its SharkBite Max brass push-to-connect (PTC) fittings. This has enabled production to be undertaken closer to end markets in North America, resulting in a significant reduction in volumes sourced from Australia. The design of SharkBite Max enables a 20% reduction in the amount of brass per fitting; and the transition in 2025 from manufacturing brass SharkBite PTC components in Melbourne for the APAC region to sourcing from third party vendors in Asia. RWC expects its overall brass requirements to decline further as it progresses its strategy to replace brass with stainless steel across key product ranges. Approximately 85 employees are expected to be affected by the closure of brass manufacturing operations in Australia. RWC has commenced consultation with impacted employees and anticipates this process to be completed during July 2026. RWC expects to recognise a one-off net charge of USD 100 million to USD 110 million in Fiscal Year 2026, which will be excluded from operating earnings. This charge includes provisions for redundancies and property exit costs of approximately USD 5 million; net write down of tangible assets (including inventory) of approximately USD 25 million; and impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, of USD 70 million to USD 80 million. Approximately USD 5 million is the expected net cash outcome with the remainder non-cash. From Fiscal Year 2027, production will shift away from APAC resulting in the intercompany revenue of the region declining substantially from approximately USD 38 million recorded in Fiscal Year 2025 with an estimated adverse operating earnings (EBITDA) impact for the APAC region of USD 9 million. These impacts are expected to be more than offset by lower costs in the Americas region. Overall, RWC expects a net annual EBITDA benefit of approximately USD 9 million across the group by the end of Fiscal Year 2027. This reflects an expected net annual benefit to the Americas region of USD 18 million offset by the estimated adverse USD 9 million impact on APAC region results. The improvement in operating earnings reflects the more favourable economics of third-party sourcing and reduced US tariff exposure under the revised supply chain. 공고 • Apr 09
