New research report and audio summary from Equity Development here:

"Core profits exceed forecast, AUM +6% in Q1’26"

The period of Polar’s FY25 (1 Apr 24 – 31 Mar 25) was horrific for many asset managers – but not for Polar. It was one of only two in our peer group to record net inflows (page 4), with heavy outflows commonplace. Polar’s AUM fell 2% over the year, with a sharp decline in Q4 on falling markets. Investment performance was -£495m, net flows +£123m, and fund closures -£111m. Post year-end, AUM has bounced back, up 6% since 31 Mar to £22.6bn (page 3).

Gross income increased 14% y-o-y to £226.1m, mostly as a result of higher average AUM. Core operating profit jumped 27% from £44.8m to £56.7m (previous forecast £53.9m), with revenue margin slightly higher than forecast and core operating costs slightly lower. Statutory profits were hit by a non-cash impairment of £13.6m (2021 acquisition of Dalton – page 10). PBT fell 6% to £51.6m.

Current CEO Gavin Rochussen has announced his retirement from Sep ‘25, with Iain Evans set to take over the role. Iain has 30+ years of investment industry experience, joining Polar in 2004 and is currently Global Head of Distribution.

Polar maintains its exceptionally strong balance sheet, with cash and equivalents up from £98.9m to £121.8m (now 26% of market cap), this after paying out £44.4m in dividends. Polar has no debt. An unchanged dividend of 46.0p for FY25 has been recommended, a yield of 10%.

Our FY26 forecasts are upgraded (page 16), mostly on the AUM jump in Q1-26. We have however pared back our outer year net flow forecasts slightly. These two adjustments largely offset each other with our fundamental valuation unchanged at 550p (page 17).

Group Audited Results for the year ended 31 March 2025

"Despite market volatility, we had a positive financial year with average AuM increasing by 17%, core operating profit growing by 27%, and we attracted positive net inflows into key strategies underscoring the resilience of our model and the strength of client relationships." Gavin Rochussen, CEO

Highlights

• Average Assets under Management (AuM) for the year up 17% to £22.9bn (2024: £19.6bn)

• Core operating profit† up 27% to £56.7m (2024: £44.8m)

• Statutory profit before tax down 6% to £51.6m (2024: £54.7m) primarily due to a £13.6m impairment charge on intangible assets

• Basic earnings per share down 13% to 36.6p (2024: 42.3p) and adjusted diluted total earnings per share† up 22% to 53.5p (2024: 44.0p)

Reduced at 452.88. I seem to have called this about right which makes a change. Happy to buy back if the price falls back. The yield will still be pretty decent even if the dividend gets trimmed a bit.

Dividend should be safe for now as they have loads of cash, but question mark whether it can be maintained long term - would need to see growth in AUM to support the dividend. I don't hold currently but monitor closely - not at all tempted to buy right now given no sign of flows picking up.

Time for taking profit was when the share price was previously higher. Thanks for the insight.


Anyway divi declaration is around 24-27th of June so we should have clarity of whether the main dividend is being maintained or not. Hopefully with the rise AuM over the past 12 months we should be ok.

Net flows look negative over the last couple of months across virtually all funds. So certainly no sign of big inflows, EM stars and Asia stars previously propped things up.

POLR must be due a broker upgrade soon the way others are being upgraded and re rated - these have lagged the market of late and look excellent value going forward, unbelievably so really given the 11% odd divi, 7.5% of which goes ex div in the next month or two, if they maintain it, fingers crossed

Yes we get it - you purchased a 'large position' here on the 12th May after the bounce-back and now you're a few pennies down and are trying to ramp things up - this isn't a penny share you know ? POLR investors tend to be longterm holders - they can sit back & relax, collecting big dividends along the way. Perhaps give it a try ?

Yes flows have held up very well in the circumstances, although of course these figures are from just before the recent market rout. EPS now forecast to drop to 33p for 2026 which would put POLR on 11 times earnings. POLR have been somewhat reliant on performance fees in recent years - not sure how sustainable these are in the face of ultra low cost trackers.

Doubled up on these this morning, very over sold at this level and great dividend yield to be had.

Could possibly trend down to £4 but looking at chart indicators it should be due a bounce from around this level.
