G8 Education Limited reported a net profit after tax of $22.5 million for the half-year ended 30 June 2025, representing a 12.4% increase compared to the prior comparative period. Total revenue was 3.7% lower than the prior comparative period as a result of lower occupancy and divestments.

Occupancy for the period was 64.5%, a decline of 3.7% compared to the prior comparative period. In response, the Group has launched a range of strategic initiatives to strengthen performance and drive occupancy growth, including tailored support to underperforming centres with a focus on enhancing service quality and occupancy outcomes.

A disciplined approach to capital management continued, balancing strategic investments with a share buy back and consistent dividend payments to enhance long-term shareholder value.
