  <li>Operational Normalisation Post-FY25 Headwinds: Following a challenging FY25 marked by significant non-cash property revaluations and regulatory scrutiny surrounding exit fees, <a href="https://smartkarma.com/entities/lifestyle-communities-ltd">Lifestyle Communities</a> has rebounded in FY26, reporting revenue of A$205.9M, a return to net profitability at A$46.9M, and robust positive free cash flow of A$92.1M.</li>
