Count Ltd Reports Strong FY2025 Results
- Significant uplift in statutory and underlying EBITA
- Successful integration of Diverger acquisition, delivering material cost synergies
- Expanded footprint with over 550 financial advisers across 494 firms
Count Ltd has reported an exceptional year in FY2025, with significant earnings growth driven by the integration of the Diverger acquisition and the execution of both organic and inorganic growth strategies. The company delivered large increases in both statutory and underlying EBITA, reflecting the hard work of its people and partners, and the effectiveness of its strategy. The integration of Diverger proved highly complementary and delivered material cost synergies, greatly exceeding initial expectations. Count's expanded footprint now includes over 550 financial advisers across 494 firms, serving around 160,000 clients and managing $37.8 billion in funds under advice and $3.9 billion in funds under management. The company's market-leading investment solutions, such as CARE funds, continue to perform strongly, with funds under management exceeding $4 billion as of 31 July 2025. Count's wealth business has also received industry recognition, winning the CoreData 2025 award for Advice Network of the Year. Looking ahead, the company remains focused on executing its strategy with discipline, investing in its people and capabilities, and delivering value to its shareholders. The foundations laid in FY2025 position Count for sustainable growth, and the company is excited and optimistic about the possibilities that the next year and beyond hold.
Count Limited delivered a significant uplift in both statutory ($24.9 million) and underlying EBITA ($27.7 million) for the 12 months ending 30 June 2025.
Count Limited remains focused on driving organic growth in funds under management, increasing its wealth advice margin, expanding through quality mergers and acquisitions, and deepening its impact within the Services segment. The company is confident that the foundations laid in FY2025 will support its ambition to be the leading provider of integrated accounting and wealth services in Australia.
