AUB Group Ltd reported a record underlying net profit after tax of A$224.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, up 12% from A$200.2 million in the prior year. Underlying earnings per share increased to 183.69 cents from 171.75 cents, reflecting continued operational momentum across the group’s divisions.
Reported net profit after tax declined to A$96.0 million from A$180.1 million in fiscal 2025, primarily due to a A$68.3 million impairment provision that weighed on earnings. The impairment charge offset strong underlying performance in the International and Australian Broking units, which benefited from revenue growth in marine and aviation segments and cost efficiencies.
The board declared a final fully franked dividend of 71.0 cents per share, up from 66.0 cents in the prior year. Total annual dividends reached 98.0 cents per share, a 7.7% increase from fiscal 2025’s 91.0 cents. The dividend policy reflects confidence in the group’s earnings trajectory and capital position.
For fiscal 2027, AUB Group guided underlying net profit after tax to range between A$245.0 million and A$265.0 million, representing growth of 9.1% to 18.0% compared with fiscal 2026. The outlook assumes continued strength in the International division and stability in the Australian Broking unit, supported by disciplined underwriting and operational leverage.
