Investment Performance p.a.
FY25 Results & Dividend
We recently released our FY25 Results announcement,
declaring an increased final fully franked dividend of 9.0
cents per share, payable in October 2025. This
represents a fully franked 5.9% yield and a grossed-up
yield of 8.5% on the HM1 share price at 30 June 2025.
Given the strong level of franking capacity, the Board is
focused on releasing these franking credits to
shareholders through sustainable and growing fully
franked dividends. To this end, the Board intends to
increase fully franked dividends by 0.5cps every six
months for the foreseeable future. Read the full results
announcement here.
