Summary
Origin Energy Limited reported their half-year results for the period ending 31 December 2025. The company achieved a statutory profit of $557 million, a decrease from $1,017 million in the prior first half, and an underlying profit of $593 million compared to $924 million in HY25. Despite higher earnings in Energy Markets, results were offset by lower earnings in Integrated Gas and Octopus Energy. Strong cash flow was observed partially due to dividends from Australia Pacific LNG and reduced tax expenses. The report also highlighted significant developments in Octopus Energy's global expansion and Kraken Technologies' growth. Origin maintained a fully franked interim dividend of 30 cents per share. Looking forward, the guidance for FY26 indicates an increase in Energy Markets' Underlying EBITDA, with expectations for improved performance due to better electricity business outcomes and cost-saving measures in place. Origin continues its strategic focus on renewable energy and technology investment to support energy transition goals.
