Austal Limited (ASX:ASB) has lifted its full-year earnings guidance, thanks to research and development tax credits from prior years.
Austal says it expects net profit after tax in the range of $35 million to $40 million, up from a previous target range of between $23 million and $26 million.
Austal also reaffirmed its full-year EBITDA will come in between $65 million and $71 million, which it says is exclusive of the impact of stock boats.
CEO Andrew Bellamy says while the tax credits are a benefit to the bottom line, the company has also sustained operational improvements and efficiencies across the business.
Austal generated a net profit of $5.4 million in the first half of the 2013 financial year.
