What else do investors need to know?
Breville delivered its strongest first-half sales result, with growth across all major markets. The Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions all posted revenue gains, partly offset by a slightly lower gross margin due to higher US tariffs. Operating expenses climbed in line with revenue growth, driven by increased headcount and wage inflation as the business expanded geographically.
The company’s inventory reduced to $435.2 million, while cash at bank increased strongly to $176.8 million, supporting a healthier balance sheet. The board declared a fully franked interim dividend of 19 cents per share, with no dividend reinvestment plan in place for this period.
What’s next for Breville Group?
Breville Group says it’s tracking to plan and continues to prioritise innovation, new product development, and expanding its global reach. The company’s board remains confident, focusing on further organic growth opportunities, efficiency improvements, and navigating ongoing economic headwinds, including tariffs and inflation.
Investors can expect Breville to keep investing in new geographies and product categories. Management has signalled a continued commitment to capital discipline and delivering value for shareholders going forward.
