Macquarie Group Limited has announced a net profit after tax attributable to ordinary shareholders of $A4,847 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 (FY26), up 30 per cent on the year ended 31 March 2025 (FY25). Profit for the half year ended 31 March 2026 (2H26) was $A3,192 million, representing a record half-year result and up 93 per cent on the half year ended 30 September 2025 (1H26). The result was driven by strong performance across Macquarie's business divisions, with Macquarie Asset Management, Banking and Financial Services, Commodities and Global Markets, and Macquarie Capital all reporting increased net profit contributions. International income accounted for 68 per cent of Macquarie's total income in FY26. Macquarie's financial position exceeds regulatory minimum requirements, with a Bank Group APRA Basel III Level 2 Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio of 12.8 per cent (Harmonised: 17.5 per cent) and a Leverage Ratio of 4.7 per cent (Harmonised: 5.3 per cent) at 31 March 2026. The company has announced a FY26 final ordinary dividend of $A4.20 per share (35 per cent franked), representing a total FY26 ordinary dividend of $A7.00 per share (35 per cent franked), a 2H26 payout ratio of 50 per cent and an FY26 payout ratio of 55 per cent.
Macquarie continues to maintain a cautious stance, with a conservative approach to capital, funding and liquidity that positions it well to respond to the current environment. Factors that may influence the short-term outlook include market conditions, completion of period-end reviews and transactions, the geographic composition of income and the impact of foreign exchange, and potential tax or regulatory changes.
