Dusk Group Limited has reported its financial results for the 26 weeks ended 29 December 2024 (1H FY25). The company's revenue from ordinary activities increased by 12.3% to $87.4 million, while profit from ordinary activities after tax attributable to members grew by 18.6% to $9.5 million. The directors have declared an interim dividend of 5 cents per share and a special dividend of 5 cents per share, both fully franked. The company's net tangible assets per ordinary security increased to 65.77 cents as at 29 December 2024, up from 65.58 cents at 31 December 2023. There were no significant changes in the nature of the Group's principal activities during the reporting period, which comprised the retailing of scented and unscented candles, home decor, home fragrance and gift solutions. The directors believe the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures, such as pro forma EBIT, are useful for users of the financial report as they provide additional and relevant information that reflects the underlying financial performance of the business.

Pro forma EBIT for the 26 weeks ended 29 December 2024 was $13.8 million.
