Full Summary

Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL) today announced its financial results for the six months ended 31 March 2025. Net profit after tax and before amortisation of acquired intangibles (NPATA) of $733 million was 6% above the prior corresponding period (PCP), 2% in constant currency. This reflected a resilient operating performance, the inclusion of NeoGames for the full period, partially offset by increased corporate costs including higher legal costs, lower interest income and a higher effective tax rate. Aristocrat's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Trevor Croker, said 'This was a positive result, illustrating the quality of Aristocrat's portfolio and ability to grow through different operating environments while also investing for the future.' The company achieved solid revenue and EBITDA growth in the period, highlighting market leadership and scale as fundamental strengths of the business, supported by a focus on operational efficiency and extracting operating leverage. Aristocrat Gaming continued to deliver market share gains in the North American Gaming Operations installed base, underpinned by the depth and strength of the portfolio. Product Madness' key Social Casino franchises continued to outperform the market, reflecting focused investment in User Acquisition and ongoing operational efficiency. Aristocrat Interactive delivered strong revenue growth, due to the inclusion of NeoGames for the period, with growth in iLottery and Content driven by market expansion across key strategic markets.

Guidance

Aristocrat expects to deliver NPATA growth over the full year to 30 September 2025 on a constant currency basis, for its continuing operations excluding Plarium, reflecting continued market share gains from Aristocrat Gaming, disciplined execution in Product Madness, and accelerating performance at Aristocrat Interactive toward its FY29 US$1 billion Revenue Target.

Outlook

Aristocrat expects an acceleration in operating momentum in the second half of the year as it capitalises on product rollout and technology initiatives across its portfolio. The company remains committed to its capital management strategy and its ongoing on-market share buy-back program.
