Analysis

What do AGL Energy's (AGL) revenue, margins and earnings per share show over time?

Revenue for AGL Energy grew from $11.2B in FY2016 to $14.4B in FY2025, a rise of about 29%, but the path was not steady — revenue fell for two straight years to $10.9B in FY2021 before recovering to $14.2B by FY2023 and $14.4B by FY2025. Gross profit margin has fluctuated widely, from 27.2% in FY2016 up to 29.2% in FY2018, down to a low of 8.1% in FY2023, and back up to 21.2% in FY2025.

Operating income margin followed a similar pattern, peaking at 14.8% in FY2020, turning negative at -8.1% in FY2021, and standing at just 0.2% in FY2025. Net income margin ranged from a high of 12.4% in FY2018 to a low of -18.8% in FY2021, finishing at -0.7% in FY2025.

Diluted earnings per share mirrored these earnings swings, from -$0.60 in FY2016 to a peak of $2.42 in FY2018, a trough of -$3.30 in FY2021, and -$0.15 in FY2025, following a $1.05 result in FY2024. The basic share count has stayed relatively stable across the period, moving from 674.7 million in FY2016 to a low of 623.0 million in FY2021 and back to 672.7 million by FY2022 through FY2025.

How strong is AGL Energy's (AGL) balance sheet in terms of assets, debt and equity?

AGL Energy's total assets grew from $14.6B in FY2016 to $16.2B in FY2025, an increase of about 11%, with a notable spike to $19.3B in FY2022 before settling back down. Total liabilities rose considerably faster over the same period, from $6.7B in FY2016 to $11.3B in FY2025 (a rise of roughly 70%), having peaked at $12.8B in FY2022.

Shareholder equity fell from $7.9B in FY2016 to $4.9B in FY2025, after peaking at $8.4B in FY2019. As a result, the ratio of total liabilities to equity rose from about 0.84 times in FY2016 to roughly 2.34 times in FY2025, indicating liabilities have grown considerably relative to the equity base. Retained earnings, which built up to $2.6B by FY2020, turned negative from FY2021 (-$115M) and stood at -$1.0B in FY2025, aside from a brief positive figure of $501M in FY2022.

Cash and cash equivalents fell from $252M in FY2016 to as low as $88M in FY2021, rose sharply to $932M in FY2024, and then declined to $319M in FY2025. Long-term loans have stayed within a comparatively narrow band across the period, ranging between $2.5B and $3.2B, ending at $3.1B in FY2025, while short-term debt has remained small throughout, between $19M and $355M.

How much cash does AGL Energy (ASX: AGL) generate, and how much goes to dividends versus buybacks?

Operating cash flow has fluctuated between roughly $841 million and $2.24 billion a year across the reported period, with the most recent fiscal year, FY2025, at the low end of that range at $841 million. Capital expenditure has trended higher over time, from $533 million in FY2016 to $1.125 billion in FY2025, its largest outlay in the period. Because capital spending rose while operating cash flow fell, free cash flow turned negative in FY2025 at -$284 million, a reversal from the $1.4 billion generated in both FY2018 and FY2024.

Dividend payments have continued throughout the period, ranging from $121 million in FY2023, the smallest outlay, up to $774 million in FY2019, the largest, and totalling $390 million in FY2025. Share buybacks have been comparatively small and irregular, with two larger years standing out — $480 million in FY2017 and $627 million in FY2020 — against buybacks of $10 million or less in most other years, including FY2025's $5 million.
