Cortina Holdings’ H1 profit rises 11% as retail offsets cost pressures

It expects stable profitability in FY2025/26.

Cortina Holdings Ltd posted a net profit after tax of $34.4m in the six months to September, up 11% from $31.1m a year earlier.

Profit attributable to shareholders climbed 10% to $30.5m.

Operating expenses increased 13% to $102m, mainly from higher staffing and rental costs. Finance costs rose to $3.4m. Profit before tax advanced 9% to $46.1m.

Earnings per share improved to 18.4 cents from 16.8 cents. The company declared no interim dividend.

Cortina expects profitability to remain stable in FY2025/26, citing firm Asian demand despite a strong Swiss franc and elevated gold prices impacting its cost base.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
