Count Limited (ASX:CUP) has released its financial results for the half year ended 31 December 2025, reporting continued strong performance. Group revenue increased by 12% to $82.8 million, driven by organic growth in the wealth segment and disciplined acquisitions. Underlying EBITA grew by 19% to $16.6 million, with margins expanding to 20% as operating leverage continued to build within the wealth segment. Underlying NPAT attributable to shareholders increased by 45% to $7.2 million, while statutory NPAT was up 133% to $9.2 million. Funds Under Advice ('FUA') increased by 11% to $40.2 billion, driven by new client growth and net client inflows. Funds Under Management ('FUM') grew by 49% to $5.3 billion, reflecting positive market conditions, the transition of Count Portfolios, and continued growth in managed accounts. The company's Equity Partnerships segment, which includes financial planning, saw revenue growth of 12%, underpinned by strong demand for financial advice, advice efficiency, and adviser growth within the network. Count completed 9 M&A transactions during the half, including four financial planning acquisitions aligned with its strategic objective of growing wealth earnings. The company has also increased its interim fully franked dividend by 14% to 2.00 cents per share.

Count Limited expects to deliver continued strong revenue and earnings growth in FY2026, driven by organic growth in the wealth segment and the benefits of recent acquisitions.

The company remains well-positioned to meet the growing demand for wealth advice, with its scale, diversified wealth solutions, and flexible operating model.
