Today Insignia Financial announced its full year results for the year ended 30 June 2024. Commenting on the result, Insignia Financial CEO Scott Hartley said, “It is pleasing to report strong underlying net profit after tax growth of 13.6% to $216.6 million, underpinned by a net reduction in costs of $24 million. Notwithstanding the positive momentum in the underlying business, NPAT was impacted by an increase in remediation provisions, as well as strategic investments. “We acknowledge the pause in dividend payments will be disappointing for some of our shareholders however, at this time, we must prioritise strengthening our balance sheet. “As an organisation we have delivered on our FY24 priorities, which have further simplified our business and reduced costs. We remain on-track and committed to delivering our FY24-26 commitments and, in addition, accelerating our cost optimisation program and reviewing our Master Trust end state operating model. “Over the last 12 months we have successfully migrated MLC Wrap to Expand, restructured our Advice business, and divested non-core assets demonstrating our strong track record of execution. We continue to simplify our business and the recently announced new operating structure will drive enhanced accountability and improve efficiency. “Insignia Financial’s strong, scalable positions across the wealth management value chain create the opportunity to deliver long-term sustainable growth for our shareholders and improved outcomes for customers.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gg-xCKdE #results #companyperformance
