AI Summary
Q2 2025

Revenue Down: G8 Education reported group operating revenue 3.5% lower than H1 2024, mainly due to weaker occupancy driven by cost of living pressures on families.

Profit Up: Despite lower revenue, statutory NPAT increased 12.4% to $22.5 million for the half, reflecting strong cost management and procurement savings.

Occupancy Weakness: Group occupancy for the half was 64.5%, down 3.7% from last year, with spot occupancy as of late August at 67%, 5.9% below prior year.

Guidance Flat: Management expects full-year earnings to be similar to calendar year 2024, reflecting ongoing cost control offsetting continued soft occupancy.

Dividends & Buyback: A fully franked interim dividend of $0.02 per share was declared, and an on-market share buyback is set to begin in September.

Cost Controls: Procurement and labor efficiencies have supported margins, but management indicated limited further cost savings are available going forward.

Regulatory & Safety Focus: Enhanced child safety measures and compliance initiatives are underway, including a planned rollout of CCTV across all centers.
