    The Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG) share price is in focus after the company reported record full-year sales of $1.8 billion and delivered EBIT in line with guidance for FY26.

    What did Breville Group report?

    • Revenue: $1,810.9 million, up 6.7% from FY25
    • EBITDA: $284.1 million, up 4.5%
    • Net profit after tax (NPAT): $138.1 million, up 1.7%
    • EBIT: $207.0 million, up 1.2%
    • Final dividend: 19.0 cents per share, bringing full-year dividend to 38.0 cents, up 2.7% (100% franked)
    • Net cash: $104.4 million at 30 June 2026

    What else do investors need to know?

    Breville completed its manufacturing diversification program, with 85% of 120-volt product gross profit now sourced outside China. This shift reduced company exposure to supply chain risks and US tariffs, which remained volatile during the year.

    Growth in new markets stood out, with China, Korea, Mexico, and the Middle East together posting revenue gains above 70%. The company’s investment in new products, solutions, and technology services increased to 14.4% of revenue.

    Strong underlying cash flow supported a healthy net cash position at year end. Gross margins recovered in the second half, led by improved US sourcing.

    What did Breville Group management say?

    Breville’s managing director and CEO, Jim Clayton, said:

    FY26 tested the business on every front: We transformed our manufacturing footprint, grew revenue to a record $1.8 billion, and delivered EBIT in line with budget and guidance, in a year when US tariffs restructured four times and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted global supply chains. That is a result the team can be proud of… We enter FY27 better positioned than we have ever been. What we built this year will outlast the conditions that tested it.

    What’s next for Breville Group?

    Heading into FY27, Breville expects continued robust demand for premium products, but notes that supply chain disruption and fluctuating tariffs, especially in the US, remain potential headwinds. With manufacturing diversification largely complete, the company enters the new year well placed to adapt as needed.

    Planned investment will focus on growth assets and elevated inventory as Breville continues expanding in new geographies and further develops its technology offerings. The company intends to provide more detailed guidance at its 1H27 results.

The company completed several reset activities over the year, including the acquisition of NPR, resets and extensions to major leases, and a $228 million equity raising.

    Portfolio activity included the divestment of non-core assets in Morley, Port Kennedy, and Chadstone, as well as ongoing developments at key sites such as Fountain Gate and Broadmeadows. BWP also acquired two fully leased large format retail centres in Queensland and Victoria, directing its strategy towards growth in this sector.

    Management expects rental income in FY27 to primarily come from well-known tenants in the Wesfarmers Group and national large-format retail operators. Demand for Bunnings Warehouse properties is expected to be steady, underpinned by strong leasing covenants.

    BWP has guided to a FY27 distribution of 20.00 cents per security, roughly 3% growth on FY26. Focus areas for the new year include repurposing former Bunnings sites, capturing positive lease reversions, and targeted asset acquisitions, all while maintaining prudent gearing levels and a payout ratio between 90% and 110% of FFO.
