HY22
From AFI investment income rebounds 68%, lifting PBT 71.6% as payout cover is...
No formal guidance or forward target was provided. The shape context is noisy: HY21 represented only 40.9% of FY21 revenue and 35.6% of FY21 NPAT, so the prior year was heavily second-half weighted as dividends resumed. Annualising HY22 revenue gives roughly $323.5m, about 37.6% above FY21's $235.1m, but this should not be read as a run-rate given the one-off nature of the HY21 compression. The release supports the view that investment income has re-based higher; it does not support a specific full-year figure.
