Chairman Sam Doumany said “2014 has been another year of strong performance despite historical low interest rates adversely affecting areas of our business. We have delivered a record profit of $13.5 million and have declared a fully franked final dividend of 3.50 cents per share. This brings the full year dividend to 6.00 cents per share. Our core division, services, continues to deliver stable and predictable cash profit. During the year we launched a third lending product, personal loans. Our focus is on growing our loan pools for our three lending products - home loans, factoring finance and personal loans. Growth in these pools will be the key to growing profitability at an above average annual rate. We are in a strong financial position to expand our operations and to take advantage of opportunities that may arise.”
Cash flow from operations
During the 2014 financial year, FSA Group delivered strong cash flow from operations driven by long term annuity income from its clients. The reduction in cash flow from operations, when compared to 2013, was mainly attributable to an increase in income tax paid.
| FY2012 | FY2013 | FY2014 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net cash inflow from operating activities | $9.4m | $14.0m | $12.0m |
Dividends
The Directors have declared a fully franked final dividend of 3.50 cents per share, with a record date of 12 September 2014 and payable on 26 September 2014. This brings the full year dividend to 6.00 cents per share.
This announcement should be read in conjunction with the Appendix 4E which incorporates the 2014 Annual Report.
