FY26 Earnings and Portfolio Position

For the year ended 30 June 2026, Clime Capital reported pre-tax profit, described as net investment income, of $13.4 million and after-tax profit of $10.3 million. The company also reported a profit reserve of $35.8 million. Gross portfolio return was approximately 17 per cent before all costs during FY26.

At 30 June 2026, pre-tax net tangible assets were reported at 82 cents per share. A separate unaudited estimate placed pre-tax NTA at 81.5 cents per share at 30 September 2026. The gross portfolio was valued at about $154 million, comprising $77.1 million of listed equities, $58.3 million of unlisted unit trusts and $2.1 million of bonds and debt securities. The company said its portfolio positioning included a strategic allocation to debt and credit of around one-third of gross assets.

Special Dividend and September Quarter Distribution

Clime Capital declared a special dividend of 0.5 cents per share, franked at 50 per cent. The special dividend is scheduled to go ex on 9 November 2026, with a record date of 10 November 2026 and payment on 27 November 2026. The dividend notice splits the payment into 0.25 cents franked and 0.25 cents unfranked.

The special distribution sits alongside the September quarter dividend of 1.35 cents per share, also franked at 50 per cent. That quarterly dividend is scheduled for payment on 23 October 2026. The company also confirmed that a dividend reinvestment plan applies to the special dividend, with cash as the default payment method and new shares under the plan expected to rank equally with existing shares.

Audit Qualification and Unlisted Assets

A key point in the FY26 accounts is the qualified audit opinion relating to certain unlisted unit trusts in the portfolio. The company linked the qualification to current market conditions and increased scrutiny of private credit investments. Clime Capital stated that its unlisted exposure includes commercial, industrial and hospitality assets, while exposure to residential property developments is less than 5 per cent.

The qualification does not change the dividend declarations disclosed in the reporting package, but it remains an important part of the FY26 financial statements because it concerns the valuation and audit treatment of a portion of the investment portfolio.

Reporting Status and Upcoming Dates

Clime Capital’s securities had been suspended pending lodgement of its full-year statutory accounts. On 6 October 2026, the company said the suspension would be lifted immediately following lodgement of those accounts. The company has also scheduled its annual general meeting for 16 November 2026.

Key Insights

Clime Capital’s FY26 update combines earnings, portfolio valuation and shareholder distributions with additional disclosure around certain unlisted investments. The declared quarterly and special dividends highlight the company’s income-distribution framework, while the qualified audit opinion places attention on the treatment of part of its unlisted portfolio. Future company reporting will provide further information on portfolio values, distributions and the status of those investments.
