Amotiv Limited delivered FY26 results with organic revenue growth of 2.7% to $1.024 billion and underlying EBITA of $195.1 million, in line with guidance. The company's net profit after tax jumped 181% to $75.1 million, while cash conversion improved to 93.1%. Amotiv returned $74.8 million to shareholders through dividends and a 5% on-market share buyback, with a final dividend of 23 cents per share declared.

The company's leverage improved to 1.85x, and return on capital employed climbed to 13.4%. For FY27, Amotiv expects modest revenue and underlying EBITA growth, supported by stronger offshore revenue and ongoing benefits from its Amotiv Unified transformation program.

Under his tenure, automotive revenue and underlying EBITA more than doubled. The Board has initiated a comprehensive succession process to find his replacement.

Helia Group navigates challenging insurance backdrop

Helia Group reported 1H26 results reflecting a tougher operating environment. Statutory net profit after tax fell 25% to $100 million, while underlying NPAT declined 16% to $106.3 million. Gross written premium dropped 44% to $61.6 million, though the company noted this was partly due to the absence of new Commonwealth Bank business and reduced First Home Buyer activity.

Insurance revenue was down 6% to $170.6 million, but there was a silver lining: total incurred claims came in negative at $14 million, resulting in a negative claims ratio of 8%. Operating expenses fell 16% thanks to reduced spending and lower headcount. The company declared a fully franked interim ordinary dividend of 16 cents per share and an unfranked special dividend of 27 cents per share. For FY26, Helia is guiding insurance revenue between $330 million and $360 million.
