Summary
The 2026 Half-Year Financial Statements for ASX Limited indicate a 0.8% increase in net assets to $3,904.8 million as of 31 December 2025. Total operating revenue for the half-year was $602.8 million, reflecting an 11.2% increase compared to the previous year. The group reported a statutory net profit after tax of $263.6 million, with earnings per share at 135.7 cents, both showing growth over the previous period. Operating expenses, excluding significant items, were $247.0 million, a rise attributed to higher employee and technology costs, as well as expenses related to regulatory responses and inquiries. The cash and financial assets decreased by 12.1%, driven by a reduction in cash margin balances. There was significant movement in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, with additions reflecting updated lease arrangements. The financial position remains robust, with total equity growing slightly due to higher retained earnings.
