Key Points

  • Revenue ($m) 138.4, down 12pc from year-earlier 157.6
  • Pre-tax profit ($m) 31.1 v 29.4
  • Net profit ($m) 19.6 v 19.37
  • Interim dividend (¢) nil v 2 

Domain chief Jason Pellegrino says the real estate classifieds business has pushed its cost base “substantially down from three years ago”, rejecting market concerns as first-half revenue fell at the company and it omitted an interim dividend.

Domain reported an increase in net profit of 1.2 per cent to $19.6 million in the six months ended December 31, from $19.37 million in the year-earlier period, including a significant item of $200,000. The company is majority-owned by Nine Entertainment, publisher of The Australian Financial Review.
