Once again it was a busy day of results releases on the Australian share market.
And while the likes of BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) and SEEK Limited (ASX: SEK) may have stolen the headlines, they weren't the only companies reporting their latest results.
Three results you may have missed are listed below. Here's a summary of how they performed:
Asaleo Care Ltd (ASX: AHY)
On Tuesday Asaleo Care released a disappointing half year result due largely to the negative impact of higher pulp prices. The personal care products company reported an 8% decline in underlying EBITDA from continuing operations to $39.4 million and a 31% drop in underlying net profit after tax to $14.3 million. Due to its weak performance no interim dividend was declared. Looking ahead, management reaffirmed its FY 2019 underlying EBITDA from continuing operations guidance of $80 million to $85 million.
Money3 Corporation Limited (ASX: MNY)
This specialist provider of consumer finance was on form again in FY 2019. Thanks to a 48.1% increase in its gross loan book to $374 million, Money3 reported a 24.6% increase in revenue to $91.7 million and a 9.4% lift in normalised net profit after tax to $35 million. Management advised that this was the result of strong organic growth of 28.2% in its Australian operations and the acquisition of Go Car Finance in New Zealand. The Money3 board declared a final fully franked dividend of 5 cents per share, taking the full year dividend 5.2% higher year on year to 10 cents per share.
Wellcom Group Limited (ASX: WLL)
This leading global creative production and digital marketing services company released its full year results and revealed a 12% increase in net revenue to $120.4 million, a 36% jump in EBITDA to $27.8 million, and a 33% lift in profit after tax from continuing operations to $11.7 million. This profit was inflated by one-off items and would have been 13% higher year on year if you excluded them. The strong result was driven by increasing revenue from across all its operations and allowed Wellcom to declare a fully franked 22 cents per share full year dividend and a fully franked 10 cents per share special dividend.
