About Ryder Capital

Ryder Capital, ABN 74 606 695 854, is based at 88 Phillip Street, Sydney. As a listed investment company it holds a portfolio of investments, and its NTA and dividends depend on portfolio performance, expenses, performance fees and tax.

The performance fee accrued and the tax paid are separate items in Ryder's NTA reconciliation, and the company reports its pre-tax NTA figure before deducting provisions for tax on unrealised gains. The release's headline panel shows four measures: a 33.53% pre-tax NTA return, a 41.92% total shareholder return, $31.80 million of total comprehensive income after tax and a 12 cents per share annualised fully franked dividend. Dividend Dates in the October declaration give holders a record date one day after the ex date, which reflects ASX settlement conventions.

Risks

Investment returns vary from year to year, and a 33.53% NTA return in FY26 does not set the level for later years. Performance fees accrue when returns are high, and dividend capacity depends on profits and franking credits.

Because performance fees are accrued against outperformance, a high-return year raises the fee Liability and reduces NTA growth relative to gross returns, which the NTA bridge in the release shows as a separate deduction. The minimum dividend commitment is stated for FY27 only.

Catalysts on Investors' Radar

The next quarterly dividend declaration, monthly NTA reports and the FY27 minimum dividend commitment are the named items.

Final Perspective

Ryder traded on unusually high volume with a lower price on 26 October, four days after its latest dividend payment. Its reports show record profit and NTA growth alongside a defined quarterly dividend.
