Summary

Ariadne Australia Limited anticipates a total comprehensive income between $2.0 million and $3.0 million for the financial year ending on 30 June 2026. This improvement from a $0.4 million loss in the previous year is supported by a $4.4 million contribution from Orams Group. The Group's investment portfolio experienced gains in Cover Genius Ltd and Hillgrove Resources Ltd, which were more than offset by a $9.7 million decline in Webjet Group Ltd. Additionally, adverse foreign currency movements resulted in unrealised translational losses of approximately $8.1 million. Despite these challenges, Ariadne maintains a solid financial position with diversified investments and cash reserves of $20.3 million. These financial outcomes are preliminary and may change following standard accounting and audit reviews.
