"" FY26 Results: A Year of Integration and Growth
Cuscal, an Australian payments infrastructure provider, has delivered a strong FY26 results presentation, reporting 20% growth in net operating income and underlying profit. The company successfully integrated two major acquisitions, Indue and Paymark, while maintaining strong organic momentum.
The presentation detailed how Cuscal expanded its footprint across Australia and New Zealand through the acquisitions, while organic transaction volumes grew 6% and the company maintained disciplined cost control with operating expenses rising just 4% on an organic basis.
Key Highlights
- Transaction volumes reached 4.798 billion for the year, up from 4.277 billion in FY25, representing 12% growth.
- Net operating income increased to $347.7 million from $290.4 million.
- Underlying net profit after tax rose to $46.2 million from $38.4 million.
Integration Timeline
The Indue acquisition, completed December 1, 2025, represents a transformational step for Cuscal’s Australian market position. The company expects the Indue deal to generate $15-20 million in post-tax annual run-rate cost synergies, with earnings per share accretion exceeding 25% and return on invested capital above 20%.
Outlook
Management provides an ambitious outlook for FY27, expecting mid-20s percentage growth in both transaction volumes and underlying net profit after tax. The company maintains a target dividend payout ratio of 40-60% of statutory net profit after tax.
