Today we announced our FY25 half year results. Great progress in executing our Group strategy. Financial Highlights:  - Group Normalised Revenue: $649.1 million, down 1.5%  - Group Normalised EBITDA: $99.6 million, up 3.7%  - Group Normalised Profit After Tax: $31.5 million, up 8.3%  - Group Reported Net Profit After Tax: $31.1 million, up 14.9% Our $2.3 billion property portfolio remains a strong asset base, focused on owning hotels in key cities to support asset-light growth. Since 2019, our Asset Maximisation program has boosted value by 15%, despite $280 million in non-core asset sales.  EVT has decided to pursue the divestment of the 525 George Street property to realise value created. At a divisional level, we achieved a record first half result in the hotel division, evidence of strong recovery in cinemas with a record December month result, and a Thredbo result impacted by unfavourable winter weather conditions.     The Group is positioned for growth and a fully franked interim dividend of 16 cents per share was announced.    Read the full announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gpKnJRZH

Ltd., we marked the construction commencement for the highly anticipated Atura Oran Park, due to open in mid-2026. Atura Oran Park will be an urban lifestyle hotel, designed to meet the evolving needs of South Western Sydney’s growing population and the upcoming Western Sydney Airport. The development will feature 184 design-led rooms, expansive conference and meeting facilities, an outdoor pool and terrace, and a locally inspired restaurant and bar.
