The Lottery Corporation reported a 6.2% decline in revenue to $3.75 billion and an 11.7% decrease in net profit after tax (NPAT) to $365.5 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2025.

However, these figures were viewed favorably by the markets, considering the exceptional performance in the previous fiscal year, which benefited from historically high jackpot payouts.

The Lottery Corporation’s CEO, Sue van der Merwe, highlighted the company’s strategic adaptability, stating, “The Lottery Corporation’s portfolio diversification and active management helped to deliver a resilient performance this year, as we continued to build strong foundations for a sustainable future.”

Key financial highlights from the FY25 report include EBITDA (before significant items) of $749.3 million, a 9.4% decrease year-over-year. The company increased its ordinary dividend by 3.1% to 16.5 cents per share, fully franked, demonstrating a commitment to shareholder returns. Digital lotteries continued to gain traction, with their turnover share rising to 41.8%, up from 40.9% in the previous year. Approximately $2.4 billion was returned to governments and venue partners.

The growth in digital lotteries turnover was fueled by enhanced customer experiences, the introduction of new products like the Weekday Windfall draw, and strategic pricing adjustments, including a Saturday Lotto price increase.
