Executive summary
Provided early childhood education to 36,000 children across 395 centers, maintaining a strong focus on quality, safety, and team capability, with improved team retention and network quality despite challenging market conditions.
2025 was challenging due to affordability pressures, lower demand from declining birth rates, increased sector supply, and sector confidence issues, but operational execution and safety focus supported resilience.
95% of centers met or exceeded National Quality Standard; family Net Promoter Score reached its highest since 2023.
Team retention improved to 79.5%, up 2.5 percentage points year-over-year.
Disciplined cost management and prudent capital allocation helped maintain EBIT margin stability, with a conservative balance sheet and ongoing network optimisation.
Financial highlights
Group operating revenue was AUD 946.9 million, down 7% year-over-year due to lower occupancy and fewer operating centers; operating EBIT was AUD 93.3 million, down 18.9% year-over-year.
Operating NPAT was AUD 59.0 million, down 18.4% year-over-year; reported NPAT was a loss of AUD 303.3 million due to a non-cash goodwill impairment of ~AUD 350 million.
Group occupancy for 2025 was 65.8%, down 4.9 percentage points from 2024.
Fully franked total dividend of AUD 0.02 per share paid (34% of NPAT, excluding impairment); no final dividend declared.
Share buyback of 38.4 million shares (AUD 42.6 million) completed during the year.
Outlook and guidance
Near-term conditions remain challenging with continued cost of living pressures, low birth rates, inflation, and regulatory changes impacting occupancy and costs; no material relief expected soon.
No final dividend for FY25; share buyback paused.
CapEx for CY 2026 expected to be around AUD 50 million.
Medium to long-term sector outlook remains positive, with government policy support, initiatives like the three-day guarantee, and expected fertility rate recovery.

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.
