Success here are some facts:
- Normalised EBITDAW is not normalised cash flow.
- Gross Operating Cash Flow (normalised) is $7.1m for HY17 improving from -$58.1m at HY16. The reason why the board like Gross Operating Cash Flow (normalised) is because they define it as follows:
Gross Operating Cash Flow ("GOCF") is defined as net cash (utilised)/provided by operating activites before interest received, borrowing costs paid, income tax paid and payments to former owners. GOCF has been normalised for non-recurring restructuring payments to suppliers.
- The really important figure is Net Operating Cash Flow which was still -$11.4m at HY17 compared with -$83.3m for the corresponding period HY16. All the company's figures are here:

- If the restructuring and PIP are almost complete as you suggest then you still have a business that is burning cash and one that is not worth persisting with, hence the need to continue to implement further restructuring and to engage in a whole new set of performance improvement plans, notably now in Australia as well.
Perhaps you should reflect on your own words.
