The over-arching message of IVE Group’s recent AGM was that the company has delivered ‘another strong outcome’ in FY25, highlighted by a 21.1% lift in underlying net profit after tax to $52.1 million.
James Todd, IVE Group Chairman, presented an upbeat assessment of the business as it moves toward its 2030 targets, highlighting operating margin improvements, disciplined cost management and the continued realisation of Ovato and JacPak synergies, as the primary reasons behind FY25 success.
Looking to the future, Todd says: “Given the recent step change in earnings, the 2026 financial year is likely to be a year of consolidation as we transition into the next phase of the Group’s growth trajectory consistent with our 2030 strategic ambition.”
Revenue and net profit have almost trebled since IVE Group’s 2015 ASX listing: growth Todd attributed to the strategic broadening of the Group’s offering across marketing, communications, packaging and e-commerce services.
Talking to IVE’s ‘Now to 2030’ strategic outlook, Todd said investors responded positively to the Group’s June strategy session, which offered the pathway for how IVE intends to leverage shifting market dynamics across print, packaging, logistics, data-driven marketing and retail media, targeting $1.2-1.3 billion in revenue.
Todd also confirmed an upcoming Board effectiveness review ahead of a refresh planned for FY27, and highlighted new minimum shareholding requirements for directors, KMP and senior executives, alongside the introduction of an Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan.
