Analysis

How have Harvey Norman's (HVN) revenue, margins and earnings per share changed each year?

Revenue has ranged between $2.2B and $4.1B over the reported decade, falling from $2.8B in FY2016 to a low of $2.2B in FY2019, before jumping to $4.1B in FY2021 and holding near that level through FY2022 ($4.1B) and FY2025 ($4.1B). Gross profit margin moved from around 20.0% in FY2016-FY2017 to a markedly higher range of 48.7%-72.9% from FY2018 onward, reaching its highest point of 72.9% in FY2020.

Operating income margin has ranged from a low of 8.5% (FY2016) to a high of 20.4% (FY2021), sitting at 9.8% in the most recent FY2025 results, while net income margin has moved between 9.0% (FY2024) and 20.9% (FY2020). Diluted EPS rose from $0.30 in FY2016 to $0.67 in FY2021, before declining to $0.28 in FY2024 and recovering to $0.42 in FY2025, a pattern that broadly tracks the margin swings over the same years.

How resilient is Harvey Norman's (HVN) balance sheet?

Harvey Norman Holdings' total assets have grown from $4.4B in FY2016 to $8.4B in FY2025, while total liabilities rose from $1.7B to $3.5B over the same period. Shareholder equity climbed from $2.7B to $4.8B, meaning equity has consistently covered more than half of the asset base, moving from about 60.7% of total assets in FY2016 to 57.4% in FY2025.

Debt levels have moved in step with the broader balance sheet. Short-term debt and bank overdrafts stood at $580.0M in FY2025, up from $453.0M in FY2016, while long-term loans rose from $201.0M to $358.2M. Combined debt of roughly $938.2M against $4.8B of equity in FY2025 represents about 19.5% of equity, actually lower than the 24.3% ratio seen in FY2016. Cash and cash equivalents ended FY2025 at $279.7M, up from $139.9M in FY2016, though it has fluctuated year to year, peaking at $313.2M in FY2020.

Retained earnings have risen steadily every year in the reported record, from $2,125.2M in FY2016 to $3,711.7M in FY2025, an increase of about 74.6%, and account for the bulk of the growth in shareholder equity over the period. Taken together, the expanding equity base, a declining debt-to-equity ratio and consistently rising retained earnings point to a balance sheet that has strengthened relative to its liabilities over the past decade of reported figures.

How much free cash flow does Harvey Norman (HVN) generate?

Operating cash flow has ranged from $372.8M (FY2019) to a high of $1.1B in FY2020, most recently registering $694.3M in FY2025, up from $437.7M in FY2016. Capital expenditure has grown over the period, from $68.2M in FY2016 to a peak of $192.2M in FY2024 before easing to $183.6M in FY2025, resulting in free cash flow that moved from $369.5M in FY2016 to $510.7M in FY2025, with a low point of $278.6M in FY2019 and a high of $963.1M in FY2020.

Dividends paid to shareholders have ranged between $266.9M (FY2016) and $473.5M (FY2021), with $299.0M paid out in FY2025. No stock buybacks are recorded in any of the reported years, indicating that shareholder returns over this period have come solely through dividend payments rather than share repurchases.
