Western Australia’s leading apartment development company, Finbar Group Limited (ASX:
FRI), is pleased to announce a full year Net Profit after Tax of $14.38 million, for the financial
year ended 30 June 2025. On an underlying basis, excluding yearly variations in property
valuations and one-off disposals, underlying NPAT was $16.17 million, an improvement of
16% over the prior year.
These results were driven by the settlement of $352 million in sales value across 351 lots,
underpinned by the completion of The Point and Aurora projects, together with strong sales
from the completed Civic Heart development in a robust WA real estate market.
As previously announced, the Board has determined to resume payment of regular interim
and final dividends, subject to ongoing financial performance, capital requirements, and
market conditions. A 2 cent fully franked Final dividend has been declared for FY25, in line
with the quantum of previous regular dividend payments by Finbar circa 2021/22. The
declaration and amount of any future dividend remains at the discretion of the Board and will
1 Underlying NPAT excludes impact of property valuation movement
be assessed in line with the Company’s capital management strategy, regulatory obligations,
and prevailing economic conditions.
Finbar has developed a strong five-year development pipeline with well-located sites
positioning the Company for sustained revenue and profit growth. Current projects under
construction represent an estimated end value of $390 million, projects with DA approvals
pending market release represent an estimated end value of $363 million. When combined
with future plans not yet at these pre-development milestones of circa $261 million, this
leads to a total development pipeline value of more than $1 billion.
The Company confirms that all condition precedents were satisfied and settlement of the
McGregor Road, Palmyra site has occurred as referenced in ASX announcement of 9 July
2025.
Finbar completed FY25 with $36.4 million cash on hand, providing a robust balance sheet
position and achieved a net debt reduction of $360 million over FY25 to $56.7m.
Maintaining a robust balance sheet underpins Finbar’s ability to deliver future projects.
Importantly, Finbar has a unique ability to deliver on its development pipeline through
continued longstanding relationships with its relationship builder Hanssen and other key
suppliers and partners in the WA construction sector.
Finbar intends to leverage this strategic advantage by focusing more on wholly owned
projects (as opposed to JV projects) to create greater value for our shareholders when
progressing through, and continue to refresh, the development pipeline.
Reflecting a focus on the Company's core business, the non-core subsidiaries Finbar to
Rent and Finbar Sales were sold on 30 June 2025 for a combined $2.55 million.
Finbar CEO Ronald Chan said, “Our financial performance in FY25 was solid, and reflects a
healthy sales environment for our projects, alongside continued financial discipline to
achieve profitable developments.
“The result has left us with a clearly robust balance sheet, and the capacity to focus on more
wholly owned projects for shareholders and capture a larger share of the value created by
our development activities.
“We look forward to delivering on the over $1billion in potential end value from our strong
development pipeline, as we continue to remain the leading apartment developer in the
vibrant West Australian market.”
Market Conditions and FY26 Outlook
The WA market continues to show positive levels of demand in the off-the-plan market
where supply of affordable, mid-tier product is constrained.
Finbar CEO Ronald Chan said, “The successful conclusion of the marketing campaign for
Bel-Air, the first time in over a decade that Finbar has sold out a project prior to construction
completion, and strong interest in the Riverbank Residences pre-launch campaign further
indicates growing and solid level of demand for mid-tier apartment product in WA from both
owner-occupiers and increasingly investors.”
For the financial year ending 30 June 2026, Finbar expects to benefit from the progressive
sell-down of its completed inventory, with residential value reducing from $139 million at 30
June 2025 to $89 million currently, reflecting $50 million sales achieved year-to-date into
Perth’s under-supplied market. In addition, Pelago residential units in Karratha contributed
$9 million in sales during the period. These sales, together with completed stock, are
expected to settle in H1 2025. Projects under construction and pre-launch have delivered a
further $55 million in OTP sales since 30 June 2025, bringing total sales since 30 June 2025
to $114 million.
The Company anticipates that the settlement of apartments sales in these OTP projects will
result in material profit recognition events in the coming financial years. Upcoming guidance
on the financial impacts will be provided once the timing of settlements is confirmed.
