Excelsior Capital reports significant profit drop, increases dividend

Excelsior Capital Limited reported a statutory net profit after tax of AUD 1.0 million for the full year ended June 30, 2025, a significant drop from AUD 50.4 million in the prior comparative period. This decline is primarily attributed to the AUD 47.2 million gain on the sale of CMI Operations Pty Ltd included in the FY24 results. Revenue from continuing ordinary investment activities, however, saw a 73% increase to AUD 5,886,000 in FY25, up from AUD 3,400,000 in FY24.

The company's audited final Net Tangible Assets (NTA) stood at AUD 113.7 million, representing AUD 3.90 cents per share (before tax) and AUD 3.91 cents per share (after tax) as at June 30, 2025. This reflects a 3% decrease from AUD 116.9 million in the prior year.

In positive news for shareholders, Excelsior Capital declared a final fully franked dividend of AUD 0.04 (4.0 cents) per share. This brings the total fully franked dividends for the year to AUD 0.08 (8 cents) per share, an increase of AUD 0.005 (0.5 cents) from the AUD 0.035 (3.5 cents) final dividend declared for 2024. The ex-dividend date is September 4, 2025, with payment scheduled for September 19, 2025.
