Summary
CSL Limited reported a total revenue of US$8.3 billion for the half-year ended 31 December 2025, a decrease of 2% from the previous year. Despite strong cash flows, the company faced a significant drop in net profit after tax attributable to CSL shareholders, which fell by 80% to US$0.4 billion, largely due to after-tax impairments and restructuring costs of US$1.4 billion. The company is continuing its transformation initiatives to streamline operations, with expected restructuring costs of US$700-$770 million for the fiscal year 2026. Additionally, CSL made strategic investments, including the expansion of its U.S. plasma manufacturing and a collaboration with VarmX. The balance sheet remains strong with net assets amounting to US$20.5 billion and cash flows from operations up by 3% to US$1.3 billion. The company announced an unfranked interim dividend of US$1.30 per share, reflecting its ongoing commitment to shareholder returns.
