Operating and strategic highlights

- Continued momentum in the higher-margin Selfco equipment finance business delivering +134% book growth
- TPT Wealth income +11% driven by a significant uplift in Trustee Services revenue
- Retail banking momentum improved in the second half across both lending and deposits
Managing Director and CEO, Brett Morgan, said “FY26 is our first full-year as a merged Group and I’m very proud of the way the team has come together, executed on our key priorities with discipline, delivered strong financial outcomes and continued serving our customers with care and commitment.”
“I’m very pleased with our financial performance, with Underlying NPAT increasing 41%. We are seeing clear benefits from scale, reflected in strong income growth, disciplined cost management and an increasing contribution from higher-returning businesses. Together, these factors have improved the quality, sustainability and resilience of our earnings.
“Asset quality remains strong, with 90-day home loan arrears improving over the year from 0.44% to 0.32% at 30 June 2026, demonstrating the resilience of our customers despite ongoing economic uncertainty. With a strong balance sheet, diversified earnings streams and integration progressing to plan, we are well positioned to continue executing our strategic priorities and delivering long-term value for shareholders.”
Integration highlights
The Group has continued to execute its integration program successfully, delivering $11.8 million in run-rate synergies, and remains on track to achieve its target of $20–25 million in run-rate synergies by the end of FY28.
The Group has increased its integration costs from $29 million to $32 million, predominantly to support the delivery of a modern, AI-enabled core banking platform in partnership with MyState Bank’s long-term core banking provider, TCS. This decision will strengthen the Group’s operating capabilities and lay the foundation for ongoing efficiency and growth.
A portion of the additional investment will be capitalised, reducing the impact on integration costs recognised through the profit and loss statement over the three-year integration program.
As the Group transitions to its end-state operating model, significant benefits are expected to be realised through the consolidation of lending platforms, transition to a single core banking platform and efficiencies gained from operating under a single retail bank brand.
Dividend and capital
The Board has declared a fully franked Final dividend of 12.5 cents per share payable on 22 September 2026 to shareholders on the register at the record date of 31 August 2026.
The full-year payout ratio of 72% is close to the mid-point of the target range on an Underlying profit after tax basis.
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will be offered to shareholders with an election date of 1 September 2026. DRP shares will be issued at a discount of 1.5% to the volume weighted average price for the period 2 September 2026 to 8 September 2026 inclusive.
The Group remains strongly capitalised, with CET1 capital of 11.6% and total capital of 15.8%, providing capacity for future investment and growth.
