ValueMax Group has reported earnings of $54.1 million for its 2HFY2025, an increase of 14% y-o-y. This brings its earnings for the whole of FY2025 to a record $102.1 million, up 23.2% over the preceding FY2024 ended Dec 2024. Revenue in the same FY2025 was up 21.3% to $553.1 million.
ValueMax attributes the improved performance to higher contributions across its pawnbroking, retail and trading of jewellery and gold, and moneylending segments, supported by stronger gross margins and increased share of results from associates.
In line with the better bottom line, ValueMax plans to pay a final dividend of 2.68 cents, which will bring its total FY2025 payout to 3.88 cents, an increase of 44.8% over FY2024.
As at Dec 31 2025, the company's net asset value per share increased to 64.40 cents from FY2024's 58.98 cents.
In its earnings commentary, ValueMax notes that gold prices have maintained a strong upward trajectory amid global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.
"While market conditions remain volatile and competition intense, the group believes its established market position, disciplined risk management framework and diversified revenue streams position it well for sustainable growth.
