HMC Managing Director and CEO, David Di Pilla, said "FY25 was a landmark year for HMC Capital, with pre-tax operating EPS increasing by 51% and assets under management reaching $18.7 billion. This growth highlights the scalability of our business model and the strength of our diversified platform spanning real estate, private equity, private credit, digital infrastructure and energy transition. Each of these verticals is now generating meaningful earnings while also providing strong optionality for future expansion."
"Our existing divisions also continued to deliver strongly. Private equity achieved outsized returns, underpinned by disciplined capital allocation, while our private credit platform expanded by over 20% as we built scale and broadened institutional relationships. In real estate, we progressed multiple unlisted fund initiatives and advanced our development pipeline, while continuing to enhance tenant and capital partner relationships across our portfolio."
"At the same time, we have focused on operationalising each of our verticals to ensure they are positioned for sustainable long-term growth. This has included building out leadership teams, strengthening governance frameworks, and investing in new talent and capabilities across digital infrastructure, energy transition, real estate and private credit. These initiatives ensure that each platform can scale independently while continuing to benefit from the shared resources, balance sheet strength and capital relationships of the broader HMC Group."
FY26 OutlookFY25 pre-tax earnings of 56.0 cps was influenced by the outsized performance from the private equity
division's HMCCP fund.
FY26 pre-tax earnings expected to be more influenced by organic growth in recurring funds management earnings from established divisions including:
- Real estate: +15% fund management EBITDA YoY growth
- Private credit: +20% funds management EBITDA YoY growth
-
Private equity: normalised fund performance with a target of 15% p.a.
Digital and Energy Transition funds management divisions will target similar growth levels once operationalised.
FY26 pre-tax earnings target of at least 40 cps, representing 29% CAGR since FY20.
Includes investment income from HMC balance sheet co-investments which represent $3.24 per share of NTA as at Jun-25
FY26 dividend guidance of 12 cents per share is consistent with our strategy to maintain the dividend at this level and re-invest retained earnings into value accretive growth opportunities.
