2025 Half Year Financial & Operational Results
27 August 2025
Nido Education Limited (ASX: NDO) (Nido or Company) is pleased to
announce its half year financial and operational results for the period
ended 30 June 2025.
Group performance summary
In the first half, Nido’s Service EBITDA increased by 8% to $12.8m, and we
maintained our EBITDA per Service run rate of $229k.
We made the decision early in the year to invest in evolving our service
offering and corporate and Service support. This has increased our
Support office costs by $1.8m pcp.
Nido has delivered an EBITDA pre-AASB16 of $6.6m, down $0.9m pcp and
a Net Profit After Tax of $4.6m, down $0.9m pcp, against a group revenue
of $82.7m.
Reflecting the strength of our balance sheet and our disciplined approach
to capital management, the Board has determined an interim dividend of
1.5 cents per share, fully franked. This is consistent with our commitment
to deliver sustainable returns to shareholders while continuing to invest in
the growth of the business.
This result was delivered to the backdrop of supressed occupancy across
the sector, due to cost-of-living, flat population growth and increased
supply.
ASX Announcement - Nido Education Limited ABN 12 650 967 703
Based on cost-of-living pressures we chose not to increase our average
fees in January 2025 for the benefit of our families. We believe this
impacted our HY2025 EBITDA in the order of $3m.

Incubation
Nido Education Limited (ASX:NDO) 2025 Half Year Results
Mandurah WA
Nido's Unique Growth Model
Incubation mitigates risks associated with growth through typical roll up or greenfield strategies
Summary of Incubation model
Incubation gives Nido the ability to acquire proven
profitable Services that are purpose built with all
locations approved by Nido
Nido’s growth comes at a multiple of 4.5x EBIT
with an earn out and claw back of up to 10% of the
capital invested, further de-risking the acquisition
All the Services are purpose built and managed by
Nido from day one, ensuring consistency in the
quality and no integration risk post-acquisition
Phases of Incubation

Nido sources and evaluates the site, presents it to the
Incubator for approval and negotiates commercial terms
The Incubator assesses and approves site, entering into an
agreement for lease and lease agreement – taking on ownership
and funding requirements
Nido undertakes all the work required to prepare the site for
licencing and opens the Service. The Incubator pays Nido $257k
establishment fee upon opening
Nido manages all operational aspects of the Service day to day
for a management fee of $123k per year. Nido reports to the
Incubator through business intelligence dashboards, giving it
full operational visibility
Nido exercises its call option to acquire at 4.5x EBIT once
performance metrics are achieved, with earn out or claw back
settled twelve months post-acquisition

What Government has said
Comment attributable to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese:
“Every child should have the right to quality, affordable early education.”
"That’s why we want to build a universal child care system that is simple, affordable and accessible, for every family.”
"We think children should have guaranteed access to at least three days of high-quality early education and care – because early education is
about changing lives.”
Comment attributable to Minister for Education Jason Clare:
“We have made child care cheaper for more than 1 million families.”
“We are delivering a 15 per cent pay rise to build the early education workforce.”
“And now we will build more centres to expand access to this essential service in the outer suburbs and the regions to help more Aussie kids
benefit from quality early education.”
“This is a key part of our plans to build a universal early education system.”
Quotes attributable to Minister for Early Childhood Education and Minister for Youth Dr Anne Aly:
“Our Building Early Education Fund will help make sure that children no matter their background or where they live are able to access the
transformational benefits of early education and care.”
“Accessible and affordable early learning is critical for supporting more people, especially women, to have a choice when it comes to undertaking
study, re-entering the workforce or increasing their hours of work.”
"We're laying the foundation for a truly universal early childhood education system through improving affordability, boosting supply, increasing
accessibility and securing the vital workforce families rely on.“
