Webjet Group Limited (ASX: WJL) has reported its financial results for the half-year ended 30 September 2025 (1H26). Webjet Group's Underlying EBITDA was $14.4 million, down 9% compared to the prior corresponding period (1H25), while Underlying NPAT was $7.8 million, up 16% compared to 1H25. The company's performance was impacted by challenging macro conditions in the travel industry, including heightened tension in the Middle East, US tariff-related travel disruptions, cost-of-living pressures, and elevated Australian domestic airfares. The company was also impacted by the ACCC proceedings related to its booking confirmations process and historical disclosure of fees, which resulted in a $9.1 million penalty and the publication of a corrective notice. Despite these challenges, Webjet Group maintained a strong balance sheet with net unrestricted cash of $111.9 million and no borrowings. The company has declared an inaugural FY26 interim dividend of 2.0 cents per share fully franked, representing a payout ratio of 100% of Underlying NPAT, well above the stated 40-60% target range.
