Executive summary

  • Leadership expressed strong satisfaction with FY25's financial results, highlighting hard work, $16.2b in payments (up $3.8b YoY), and a $10.73 per kgMS payout for supplying shareholders.

  • Operating profit rose to $1.7b, up $205m, driven by strong Ingredients margins and favorable hedging; profit after tax was $1.0b, down $49m due to a tax treatment change and $106m in divestment costs.

  • Agreement reached to sell Mainland Group to Lactalis for $4.22b, targeting a $2.00 per share capital return if completed.

  • Return on capital was 10.9%, with net debt and leverage metrics stable year-over-year.

  • Clear strategic focus on executing existing plans in ingredients and foodservice, with new capacity investments coming online.

Financial highlights

  • FY25 benefited from hedging, providing a $120M uplift versus FY24, but this is expected to revert to long-term averages in FY26.

  • Farmgate Milk Price increased to $10.16 per kgMS from $7.83; dividend rose to 57c per share (imputed), up from 55c.

  • Reported operating profit was $1,732m (up from $1,527m); reported profit after tax was $1,079m (down from $1,128m).

  • EBIT target for FY28 is set at approximately $250M, with growth driven equally by cost base reductions and business mix improvements.

  • One-off costs totaling about $80M, including impairments and business exits, were not normalized in FY25 results.

Outlook and guidance

  • FY26 Farmgate Milk Price range maintained at $9.00–$11.00 per kgMS; continuing operations earnings forecast at 45–65c per share.

  • EBIT growth to FY28 is underpinned by clear plans, new business investments, and cost removal, with execution risk seen as manageable.

  • CapEx is expected to remain elevated (~$1B) through FY27, then normalize to ~$600M from FY29 onward.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
