The news: BKI Investments has reported a fall in net profit after tax and earnings for the 2025 financial year, but lifted its full-year dividend.
The numbers: The investment fund’s net profit after tax for FY25 totalled $61.9 million, a 4% decline on the previous financial year. Earnings per share also slipped 4% to 7.67 cents per share, as operating revenue increased by 1% to $66.8 million.
BKI posted a 2% increase for its investment portfolio, owing to higher dividends from Commonwealth Bank, Suncorp Group, Dalrympe Bay Infrastructure, Harvey Norman Telstra Corp, APA Group and Transurban Group.
Interest received in FY25 was $4.2 million, up from $4 million in the previous year amid higher interest rates and cash deposits.
The BKI board also declared a final dividend of 4 cents per share, taking its full year dividend to 7.9 cents per share, a 1% improvement on FY24.
The context: The company described its FY25 performance and global equity markets as “robust” despite the significant “macroeconomic headwinds including persistent inflation, trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainties”.
BKI said its operating result is “particularly positive given the ongoing challenges companies faced from elevated business costs and increased interest repayments compared to prior years”.
