  • Group underlying EBITDA rose 6.6% and statutory net profit increased 10.5% year-over-year, driven by strong growth in Canada and Asia, while ANZ faced headwinds from declining US PCT filings and market share.

  • Canada delivered a strong turnaround, with organic growth and acquisition synergies, now accounting for over a third of group EBITDA.

  • Nearly 60% of group earnings now come from outside ANZ, reflecting successful diversification and enhanced global scale.

  • Operational efficiencies, cost discipline, and AI-driven workflow automation improved margins and reduced corporate costs.

  • Continued focus on organic growth, technology investment, and leveraging AI for sustainable long-term performance.

Financial highlights

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.
