Aristocrat reported a strong FY2025 (year to September): net profit rose 12% to AU$1.55bn (~US$1.01bn), revenue climbed 11% to AU$6.29bn and group EBITDA increased 15.6% to AU$2.62bn. The results were supported by the first full year of NeoGames inclusion, healthy gaming unit shipments (4,100 net units), and strong product performance — notably the Baron cabinet. ANZ and North America were standout regions, while Product Madness (social gaming) and the Interactive arm both showed material gains. Management reiterated growth ambitions for Interactive and DTC (direct-to-consumer) expansion toward FY29 targets.
