Financial Highlights: In 1HFY25, the company achieved a net profit before tax (NPBT) of AUD 2.8mm and EBITDA of AUD 5.5mm, with revenue growing 12% YoY to AUD 19.7mn. The company saw a decline in net defaults to 1.1%, down 13% YoY, driven by improved risk management and credit model upgrades, alongside recoveries of AUD 4.3mn.
