They said that they are going to spend up large on R &D and marketing this half. They have several new products in the pipeline, K12 is coming off patent soon, so they need some backup.
Absolute revenue values are pretty low so I imagine expansion costs could cut into them notably for now while they are, as you said, a growth company. I also found it odd they said in line with FY19, perhaps they are being cautious to account for high R and D spending.
