The growth in EBITDA follows recent contract wins in the Bridge Resources division along with improved asset utilisation and strong customer demand for equipment hire and fleet rental services in KMH and Tru Fleet.
Strong Gross Margin Improvement
The SSH Group has continued to push forward with margin growth and efficiency improvements across its businesses since listing in September 2021. The Group has produced a Gross Margin for the 4 months of FY24 to a record 40%. The consolidated Group's Gross Margin excludes depreciation and interest charges.
The SSH Group's Gross Margin improvement for the FY24 period year to date is a 54% increase to the FY23 Gross Margin of 26%, and a 226% growth on the FY22 Gross Margin of 12%.

Tru Fleet Demand
Tru Fleet has now built its fleet to an optimal size of fleet rental assets. The business is now focusing on operational returns and client delivery; this has resulted in Tru Fleet's utilisation exceeding the target of 80% and pushing close to 90%. Gross Margins are improving and exceeding 30% for the current year to date (including all direct vehicle costs and interest). Tru Fleet is providing the Group a profitable return after tax and further has returned $280k for the period July to October 2023 in repayment to SSH Group Ltd of its initial startup working capital loan.
Increased Revenue and Cross Selling Opportunities
With 4 established service brands, along with the Four Hills Services Partnership, cross selling has been a key focus for the Group. Successful cross selling of services to the group's expanding customer base is a core strategic imperative and improved delivery upon this objective helps improve both SSH and our customer

outcomes. Therefore, it is particularly pleasing to report that, during October 2023, 46% of the consolidated revenue came from clients with multiple service offerings.
