Cash Converters Lifts Earnings as Lending Shift and Store Acquisitions Pay Off

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Cash Converters International Limited ( (AU:CCV) ) has shared an update.

Cash Converters reported an 18% rise in operating EBITDA to $34.2m and a 9% increase in operating net profit to $13.2m for the half year to 31 December 2025, despite a lower statutory profit due to strategic transition costs. The business has largely wound down its payday loan portfolio and expanded its new Cashies line-of-credit book to $58.2m, reducing net loss rates while maintaining financial flexibility with $43.5m in cash, $74.3m in undrawn facilities, and a continued dividend.

The company’s acquisition-led shift toward corporate-owned stores is bolstering earnings, with Australian store profit before tax up 28% and UK store profit before tax up 91%, helped by gold price-driven margin gains and 8% same-store revenue growth in both markets. Cash Converters is also rolling out luxury-only store formats in Australia and piloting them in the UK, strengthening its international footprint and positioning the group for continued quality earnings growth from a larger, higher-margin retail and lending platform.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CCV) stock is a Buy with a A$0.34 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cash Converters International Limited stock, see the AU:CCV Stock Forecast page.
