The company plans to pay a final dividend of 10.5 US cents per share. Coming on top of the bumper special dividend of 44.3 US cents and interim dividend of 3.5 US cents already paid, DFI will be paying a total of 58.3 US cents. In absolute terms, DFI will be returning US$740 million in total to its shareholders. In contrast, DFI paid a total of 10.5 US cents for FY2024.
DFI Retail Group has held its revenue steady at US$8.87 billion for FY2025. However, with the better sales mix and the divestments of loss-making stakes, the company has reported earnings of US$235 million for its FY2025, a stark turnaround from US$245 million in red ink in the preceding year.
Underlying profit attributable to shareholders, which DFI says is a more accurate measure of its ongoing business performance, was up 35% to US$270 million.
