The company completed a US$403 million on-market share buy-back during FY25 and has announced a new buy-back of up to US$400 million in FY26, reflecting its strong balance sheet and cash flow generation.

Our FY25 performance delivered another year of successful financial, operational and sustainability outcomes at the same time as strengthening our customer value proposition. Achieving these results amid heightened macroeconomic uncertainty underscores the increased resilience of our business, reinforced through our multi-year transformation programme that has strengthened all facets of our business.
What's next for Brambles?
For FY26, Brambles expects sales revenue growth of 3–5% and Underlying Profit growth of 8–11% at constant FX. Free Cash Flow before dividends is forecast between US$850 million and US$950 million.

Brambles is also set to discontinue quarterly sales updates in favour of half- and full-year reporting.
Management expects ongoing benefits from its transformation program and digital initiatives while monitoring global economic conditions and input costs, with new customer contract wins expected to support volume growth in key regions.
