Clime Investment Management Limited (ASX: CIW) has provided unaudited FY26 profit and dividend guidance ahead of the release of its audited accounts. The CIW FY26 profit guidance points to an unaudited estimated FY26 pre-tax profit of circa $1 million, alongside the Board’s stated intention to declare a dividend of 0.5 cents per share.
Both figures are unaudited and subject to completion of the audit and formal Board approval. The update was released to the ASX on 28 August 2026.

What’s driving the FY26 result
The Company disclosed two key contributors to the expected outcome. The first is a significant performance fee payable by Clime Capital Limited (ASX: CAM). The second is the financial impact of a series of transactions completed near the end of FY26.
According to the announcement, the additional time required to complete the audit principally reflects the timing of these items arising near the end of the financial year. The Company did not detail the nature of the late-FY26 transactions.
The advice partnership transaction announced in March 2026, which transferred Clime’s AFSL and authorised representative network to a practitioner-led group for $6.5 million, is among the late-FY26 structural moves whose financial impact has been incorporated into the unaudited result.
| Item | Detail | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Unaudited FY26 pre-tax profit | Circa $1 million | Unaudited estimate |
| Intended dividend | 0.5 cents per share | Subject to audit & Board approval |
| Performance fee | Payable by Clime Capital (ASX: CAM) | Included in FY26 result |
| Late FY26 transactions | Financial impact included | Detail not disclosed |
