Nido Education Limited (ASX: NDO) has announced its half year financial and operational results for the period ended 30 June 2025. The company's Service EBITDA increased by 8% to $12.8m, and it maintained an EBITDA per Service run rate of $229k. Nido made the decision to invest in evolving its service offering and corporate and Service support, which increased its Support office costs by $1.8m compared to the prior corresponding period. The company delivered an EBITDA pre-AASB16 of $6.6m, down $0.9m, and a Net Profit After Tax of $4.6m, down $0.9m, against a group revenue of $82.7m. Reflecting the strength of its balance sheet and disciplined approach to capital management, the Board has determined an interim dividend of 1.5 cents per share, fully franked. This result was delivered against a backdrop of suppressed occupancy across the sector due to cost-of-living pressures, flat population growth, and increased supply. Nido chose not to increase its average fees in January 2025 for the benefit of its families, which it believes impacted its HY2025 EBITDA by around $3m. The company is well positioned to continue growing its impact for children, families, educators, and the community, and is actively progressing a pipeline of over 100 services to deliver sustained growth.

Nido is very well positioned to grow its impact for children, families, educators, and the community as it moves into the second half of FY2025. The company is actively progressing a pipeline of over 100 services to deliver sustained growth.
