Continuing Operations Results — 21 October 2026

EQT Holdings Limited (ASX:EQT) reported in its 21 October 2026 AGM presentation that FY26 continuing operations generated net profit after tax of AUD 33.9mn, up 32.7%. Continuing-operations Revenue rose 9.4% to AUD 167mn. The corresponding funds under management, advice and supervision measure reached AUD 191.9bn, up 15.1%.

Group Profit Versus Continuing Profit — 21 October 2026

The presentation separately recorded total group NPAT of AUD 26.4mn, down 20.5%, including a AUD 13.1mn impairment. Group EPS was 98.64 cents, down 20.6%. The different profit trajectories reflect the distinction between continuing operations and the group total, which includes discontinued superannuation-trusteeship activities. Combining the two views without their accounting basis would distort the reported FY26 performance.

The AGM presentation listed 33% profit growth in continuing operations and discussed productivity initiatives in Trustee and Wealth Services and Corporate Trustee Services. It also reported a strategic refocus after deciding to exit Superannuation trusteeship.

The company’s underlying trustee and wealth-administration activities continue to operate under regulatory and Fiduciary obligations.
