What else do investors need to know?
Regis Resources has released a new Capital Management Policy, formalising its approach to shareholder returns. The company now intends to pay fully franked ordinary dividends on a semi-annual basis, targeting a payout of 25% to 50% of Group Cash Increase over each half.
The policy leaves room for special dividends and share buy-backs if cash balances exceed strategic requirements. The dividend reinvestment plan remains suspended.
FY26 production and cost guidance remain unchanged, targeting 350,000–380,000 ounces of gold and an AISC between $2,610 and $2,990 per ounce. Exploration guidance was lifted by $20 million amid continued drilling success.
What did Regis Resources management say?
Regis has delivered an outstanding financial result for the first half of FY26. The operational performance has increased the financial strength of our business translating to record EBITDA, NPAT and cash flow.
What's next for Regis Resources?
Looking ahead, Regis aims to deliver its full year production and cost guidance, underpinned by strong gold prices and ongoing operational performance. Management expects continued cash generation and profitability if gold prices remain robust.
The recently introduced capital management strategy gives more predictability on dividends while keeping flexibility for reinvestment and potential extra shareholder returns in the future.
