Breville Group recorded its highest-ever annual sales in the year to June 30, reporting total revenue of A$1.81 billion, a rise of 6.7% from the prior year. The Australian small appliance maker said net profit after tax attributable to members increased 1.7% to A$138.1 million, while earnings per share stood at 95.5 cents, up 1.2% year on year.
The company attributed the result to sustained demand for its coffee and cooking appliance lines, which helped offset several cost pressures during the period. Management said the business absorbed tariff headwinds, transition costs associated with a manufacturing diversification program, and inflationary pressures linked to conflict in the Middle East.
Breville announced a fully franked final dividend of 19.0 cents per share. That brings total dividends for the year to 38.0 cents per share, an increase of 2.7% from the previous year and consistent with the company’s stated target payout ratio of roughly 40% of earnings per share.
On the balance sheet, the group reported a net cash position of A$104.4 million as of June 30. Management attributed the net cash outcome to strong underlying cash flows during the year and receipt of IEEPA tariff refunds near the financial year-end.
These results show top-line expansion alongside modest growth in attributable profit and earnings per share, achieved while the business navigated external cost pressures and costs related to its manufacturing transition. The dividend increase maintains the company’s payout policy and reflects its reported earnings profile for the year.
