The quality and scale of Aspen Group continues to improve through disciplined acquisitions and disposals, and cost-effective refurbishment and development. We have maintained competitive rents and sales prices for our customers which reduces risk and increases growth prospects for securityholders. Risks were mitigated further by maintaining a measured exposure to development and strengthening our balance sheet.

Positive Outlook and Guidance for FY26[9]

We expect continued strong performance and are pleased to announce FY26 guidance well above FY25:

  • § Underlying Operating EBITDA[7] of $47.0m – up 14%

  • § Underlying EPS[7] of 19.0 cents – up 13%

  • § DPS of 11.0 cents – up 10%

Please refer to Aspen’s FY25 Financial Report and Results Presentation released on ASX today for further information including assumptions underlying the FY26 guidance.

Aspen Group has a massive opportunity to profitably increase in scale given the structural shortages of quality accommodation for the majority of Australian households.

Announcement authorised by the Board of Aspen Group Limited.
