Dividend and Distribution Details

The four-cent final dividend is separate from the first anticipated FY27 quarterly payment, which is expected in September 2026.

The ex-distribution date is 14 August 2026, while payment is scheduled for 28 August 2026. The amount is AUD 0.04 per security and the payment is fully franked. A security normally adjusts for the value of the distribution when it begins trading ex-entitlement, although the actual market movement can also reflect broader trading conditions.

Recent Company Update

BKI declared a fully franked final dividend of four cents per share, lifting FY26 dividends to 7.95 cents from 7.90 cents in FY25. Net profit after tax increased 4% to AUD 64.4mn, total ordinary revenue rose 2% to AUD 70.7mn and the portfolio value increased 6% to AUD 1.67bn. BKI also announced a transition from half-yearly to quarterly dividend payments, with the first FY27 payment expected in September 2026.

Price and Yield Snapshot

At AUD 1.92, the AUD 0.04 payment represents a stated cash yield of 2.08%. This is a single-payment yield rather than an assurance of the annual income return. Future payments can change with earnings, portfolio income, interest rates, Board decisions, security terms or currency conversion.

What Investors May Watch Next

Quarterly payment levels, dividend income from portfolio holdings, realised gains, NTA performance, expenses and the sustainability of the new distribution timetable will be central.

Attention will also centre on the price after the ex-date. A mechanical adjustment for the distribution may be accompanied by movements caused by company news, commodity prices, interest rates or wider market sentiment.

Risks

  • Future dividends or note distributions may differ from the current payment.
  • The market price may decline by more than the cash distribution after the ex-date.
  • Franking availability or tax treatment may change and depends on individual circumstances.
  • Earnings, portfolio income, commodity prices or interest rates may weaken.
  • Capital-note payments are subject to their terms and may be discretionary or non-cumulative.
