Marco Polo Marine’s net profit rises 170% in FY2025
Extraordinary reversals drove earnings as adjusted profit edged lower.
Marco Polo Marine Ltd reported net profit attributable to shareholders of $58.5m for the year ended 30 September 2025, a 169.7% increase from $21.7m in FY2024, according to a bourse filing.
Basic and diluted earnings per share rose to 1.56 cents, up from 0.58 cents a year earlier.
