Strong Financial Performance
Centrepoint Alliance Limited (ASX – CAF) has delivered a compelling set of unaudited results for FY25, surpassing its earnings guidance with a 16% increase in EBITDA to $10.6 million and a 30% rise in net profit before tax to $7.3 million. The company’s gross revenue climbed 13% to $326 million, reflecting solid growth across its core business lines.
Adviser Network Expansion
A key driver behind this performance is Centrepoint’s licensee business, which saw a net increase of 22 authorised representatives, bringing the total to 573 advisers operating under its licenses. This marks the strongest organic adviser growth in the Australian market and continues a four-year trend of consistent expansion, reinforcing Centrepoint’s position as a market leader in financial advice services.
Growth in Managed Funds and Platform Innovation
Funds under management in managed accounts surged by 40%, from $303 million to $423 million, supported by the popularity of the iQ Portfolios available across multiple investment and superannuation platforms. December 2024 saw the launch of the IconiQ Superannuation and Investment platform, which is currently in early commercialisation stages. The company is focused on onboarding advisers, enhancing managed account offerings, and integrating with adviser software, signaling a strategic push into technology-enabled financial solutions.
Strategic Acquisition Bolsters Adviser Team
Centrepoint also completed the acquisition of Brighter Super’s advice review book in June 2025, with three advisers transitioning to its Financial Advice Matters division. This acquisition increased the number of employed advisers to 22, further strengthening Centrepoint’s in-house advice capabilities and expanding its footprint in the superannuation advice market.
Looking Ahead
With the full audited results and investor briefing scheduled for late August, Centrepoint’s FY25 performance sets a positive tone for the year ahead. The company’s focus on adviser growth, platform innovation, and strategic acquisitions positions it well to capitalize on evolving market opportunities within Australia’s financial advice sector.
Bottom Line?
Centrepoint’s strong FY25 results and strategic moves hint at continued momentum, but the market will watch closely how new platforms and acquisitions translate into sustainable growth.
Questions in the middle?
- How will the IconiQ platform’s early commercialisation impact revenue and adviser engagement in FY26?
- What are the integration challenges and expected synergies from the Brighter Super acquisition?
- Can Centrepoint sustain its market-leading adviser growth amid increasing competition?
