As we near the end of the ASX reporting season, a handful of companies made waves on the market with their results today.
We'll quickly unpack today's results and then wrap things back up for tomorrow.
Those that reported on the ASX today
Harvey Norman Holdings Limited (ASX: HVN)
The Harvey Norman share price weakened today after the company reported its FY21 full-year results. This was despite a solid result from the retail giant for the 12 months ended June 30. It seems investors were more forward-looking and did not take a liking to the slow start to FY22 as a result of ongoing lockdowns.
The takeaway points:
- Total aggregated sales up 15.3% to $9,491 million;
- Comparable store sales up 13.9% year-over-year (YoY);
- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) jumped 54.2% to $1,457 million;
- Profit after tax excluding property revaluations up 63% to record $743.1 million;
- Fully franked total dividend up 45.8% to 35 cents per share.
The Harvey Norman share price finished the day down 3.2% trading at $5.38.
Cettire Ltd (ASX: CTT)
The Cettire share price was a more positive performer on the ASX after reporting its full-year results for FY21. Shares in the online luxury goods retailer climbed 2.8% to $2.60 after revenue rocketed higher YoY.
The takeaway points:
- Gross revenue of $124.5 million, up 333% YoY on a constant currency basis;
- Sales revenue of $92.4 million, up 304% YoY on a constant currency basis;
- Statutory net profit after tax swung from $1.53 million to a loss of $251,000;
- Active customers increased 285% to 114,830;
- Operating cash flow of $12.7 million, up 131% on FY20;
- Cash position at the end of June 2021 of $47.1 million with no debt.
Pointsbet Holdings Ltd (ASX: PBH)
Lastly, the Pointsbet share price managed to add 1.7% on the ASX today after reporting a 159% increase in revenue in its FY21 result.
However, the sports wagering company had a relatively tame day on the market compared to its past performances. Investors might have been more cautious of the company's shares given the significant bottom-line loss reported.
The takeaway points:
- Turnover up 228% to $3,781.4 million;
- Revenue increased 159% to $194.7 million;
- Normalised EBITDA loss of $156.1 million;
- Normalised loss after tax of $164.3 million compared to $39.7 million loss in FY 2020;
- Statutory loss after tax of $187.1 million;
- Cash balance of $276.2 million (including $30.6 million of client cash).
