Upcoming dividend details

The 20 August 2026 announcement does not itself describe the final dividend, and the dividend details above are taken from the company’s dividend schedule.

FY26 results

Revenue was a record $3.19 billion, up 11.9%, and gross profit was a record $589.7 million, up 15%. Normalised net profit before tax was $53.5 million, up 11.1% and at the upper end of guidance. Gross margin was 18.5%, ahead of FY25. Vehicle service revenue rose 16% and parts revenue rose 22%.

The announcement says accelerated adoption of new energy vehicles following the start of the war in Iran, and a wave of new entrants, drove a record order write, up 20% on the prior year, ahead of new vehicle revenue growth of 9%. Demand outpaced stock, and forward vehicle order banks grew 290% in FY26.

Funding and outlook

In June 2026, the company amended its syndicated facility agreement, lifting the aggregate limit from $350 million to $435 million, extending key maturities from three to four years and easing certain covenants. July 2026 new vehicle order write was up 18% on the prior year. The company retains a positive outlook for FY27, citing luxury electric vehicle adoption, new brands and the full-year effect of FY26 acquisitions, particularly in Berwick and Adelaide.

The announcement gives more on the new energy vehicle theme. It says demand rose after the start of the war in Iran, that many new entrants arrived, and that the company was under-supplied with stock in the final quarter. As a result, new vehicle orders rose faster than deliveries, and revenue from vehicle servicing and parts, which are less tied to new car supply, grew 16% and 22%.

The company says its prestige and luxury segments remained resilient in FY26 and that it focuses on representing brands with future-ready product. It also reports expansion into new brands and locations during the year, including acquisitions in Berwick and Adelaide whose full-year effect will appear in FY27 revenue.

How the dividend timetable works

The ex-dividend date of 29 October 2026 is the first trading day on which shares change hands without the right to the upcoming dividend of 3 cents per share. Shares bought before that date carry the entitlement, subject to the record date and settlement timing, while shares bought on or after it do not. Payment follows on 16 November 2026, 18 days after the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date falls 10 days after 19 October.

The dividend is fully franked, which means franking credits equal to the Australian company tax paid on the underlying profit are attached. How much those credits are worth depends on each shareholder’s own tax position, which this article does not assess.

A dividend is a distribution of profit that the board decides to pay, and the amounts quoted are per share. The total cash paid depends on the number of shares on issue at the record date, which can change if a company issues new shares or repurchases existing ones. Dates and amounts can change if the company announces an update.

Factors shareholders may weigh

The order bank is expected to unwind in the second half of FY27 as supply reaches demand, which depends on the arrival of new electric vehicle products from European luxury manufacturers. Revenue depends on manufacturer stock supply, and new brands and dealerships take time to build.

The company relies on debt facilities that were recently expanded, and new vehicle margins depend on trading discipline. Discretionary spending on luxury vehicles can change with economic conditions.

What’s next

The final dividend goes ex on 29 October 2026 and is paid on 16 November 2026. The Canberra property acquisition is expected to complete in October 2026, and the order bank is expected to start unwinding in the second half of FY27.
