The news: Eagers Automotive has reported a 12.8% year-on-year increase in underlying EBITDAI to $620.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 driven by scale efficiencies and its ongoing business model transformation.
The numbers: For the full year, statutory and underlying revenue rose 16.5% to $13 billion, while profit before tax jumped 17.3% year-on-year to $393.7 million.
Net debt fell 87.7% to $100 million, down from $813.1 million the prior year. The company declared a final dividend of 50 cents per share, bringing the full-year dividend to 74 cents per share.
The context: Eagers Automotive said that its record revenue growth was driven by its Next100 strategy alongside the integration of large-scale acquisitions, including CanadaOne Auto and a strategic alliance with Mitsubishi Corporation.
However, the company flagged that the automotive retail sector faces headwinds moving into the current half-year, citing heightened geopolitical uncertainty, sustained cost of doing business pressures, and weaker consumer confidence amid ongoing structural transformation and increased global competitions.
Despite these challenges, the company expects its first-half 2026 underlying profit before tax to be in line, or slightly ahead of, its first half 2025 results across its Australian and New Zealand operations.
