Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund lifts assets and confirms 40c interim payout

Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited ( (NZ:FCG) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund reported interim revenue of NZ$167 million for the six months to 31 January 2026, up 8% year on year, with net profit flat at zero as fair value gains and distributions offset each other. Net tangible assets per unit rose to NZ$8.19 from NZ$4.98, and unit holders will receive a 40 cent interim distribution on 14 April 2026, alongside a separate NZ$2.00 per share capital return from the divestment of Mainland.

Fonterra’s underlying business performance remains strong, with Co-operative operating profit rising to NZ$1.2 billion and profit after tax up 3% to NZ$750 million, driven by improved pricing and product mix, particularly in Foodservice and Ingredients. The combination of higher earnings, reduced net debt and leverage, and the Mainland capital return will see NZ$3.9 billion of cash distributed to shareholders and unit holders, reinforcing the Co-operative’s capital management focus as it navigates geopolitical and cost uncertainties and prepares for a CEO transition.
