REA Group delivers an excellent FY25 result
- Revenue growth of 15% to $1,673m
- EBITDA growth of 18% to $969m
- Net profit growth of 23% to $564m
REA Group Ltd (ASX:REA) today announced its results for the year ended 30 June 2025. Group financial highlights from core operations include revenue growth of 15% to $1,673m, an increase in EBITDA excluding associates of 18% to $969m, and a 23% increase in net profit to $564m. Reported net profit increased 124% to $678m, reflecting the gain on sale of the Group's investment in PropertyGuru Group Limited and other one-off impacts. The Board has determined to pay a final dividend of $1.38 per share fully franked, up 35% YoY. REA's Australian revenue grew 14% to $1,544m, driven by strong performance across Residential, Commercial, Developer, and Financial Services. REA India delivered 25% revenue growth to $129m, with the Housing Edge business performing particularly well. Operating costs increased by 12%, with higher employee costs, technology costs, and consumer marketing spend. The Group repaid all external debt following the sale of PropertyGuru and has a strong balance sheet with $429m in cash. The FY26 outlook is positive, with expectations of further interest rate cuts supporting buyer demand and steady house price growth in Australia.
The Group continues to target double-digit residential Buy yield growth, including a 7% national average Premiere+ price rise. High single-digit group core operating cost growth is anticipated (excluding PropTiger), driven primarily by continued strategic investment and COGS attached to strong expected growth in Audience Maximiser. EBITDA losses in India will be impacted by lower expected Housing Edge revenues. Contributions from combined associates' losses are expected to improve modestly compared to the prior year.
Australian property fundamentals remain strong, and expectations of further interest rate cuts are supporting buyer demand and steady house price growth. These are favourable conditions for sellers to bring their properties to market. REA Group's increasing investment in talent, technology, and improved consumer experiences positions the company for continued growth in FY26.
