General Capital Announces Another Profit Record
General Capital, the NZX listed financial services group, has had another strong result for the
six months to 30 September 2024.
The Chairman of General Capital, Mr. Rewi Bugo said, “The General Capital Group,
particularly General Finance, has been growing and developing consistently. Each of our
results have shown that our strategy is appropriate for the current environment.
The 6 month results to 30/9/24 show:
• Revenue up 39% to $10.8m
• NPAT up 31% to $1.572m
• Earnings per share up 31% to 0.57cps (allowing for the recent share consolidation).
We are very pleased to announce the results.
We had advised at the Annual Shareholder Meeting that we would consider declaring a
dividend after the results were announced and following a review of our future outlook. I am
pleased to advise that we are announcing our maiden dividend.”
Details of the dividend are:
• Record Date 2/12/24
• Dividend Payment date 13/12/24
• Amount per share $0.0055 per share
• Imputation Credit $0.00213889
Mr Bugo said “We are very pleased with the current position of the Group and are excited to
reward shareholders with our maiden dividend.”
The Dividend is fully imputed as we have been paying full tax over recent years.
Brent King, Managing Director, said “This not an easy market to trade in. Anyone looking at
the volatility of the interest rates plus the movements in property values understand that it is
hard to be sure of future asset values. Lending is always about future values and this has
been one of the toughest times in my life to assess such values. We have stayed away from
development funding and that has worked well for us.
We are very pleased with the growth in our deposit book. Our brand is now strong and
becoming increasingly so. We have undertaken some significant sponsorships which have
increased our profile.”
Mr King also advised “The passing of the Deposit Taker Act (DTA) with the Deposit
Compensation Scheme (DCS) has increased interest in the Non-Bank Deposit Taker sector.
The interest in investing with a local banking organisation is growing and the DCS will bring
further confidence to the sector.
“The sector is not an easy one, but New Zealand has had a long history of Non-Bank Deposit
Takers. Many have become Banks and have developed strong client relationships. We intend
to continue to develop in this space and to continue to give good returns to our 725
shareholders. It has been a good 6 months for us but we have the platform to do even better”
said Mr King.
This announcement was approved by the Directors of General Capital Limited.

Directors’ Report
The Directors of General Capital are pleased to report a strong financial performance for the six months ended
30 September 2024. During this period, General Capital achieved a 39% increase in revenue compared to the
prior six-month period in 2023, resulting in a net profit after tax of $1,572k—our strongest half-year result since
listing in 2018. Total assets rose by 15% since 31 March 2024, reflecting sustained growth across the Group. This
outcome is particularly significant given the headwinds faced by the New Zealand economy during 2024.

2. Performance
General Finance Limited (GFL), a licensed non-bank deposit taker and wholly owned subsidiary of General
Capital, delivered strong financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2024, with a 41% year-on-
year increase in revenue, driving a 35% rise in Net Profit Before Tax (NPBT) and a 34% increase in Net Profit
After Tax (NPAT), reflecting robust business activity, effective cost management, and enhanced operational
efficiency.
GFL has experienced strong growth in secured term deposits of 17% during the period, contributing to the
Group’s healthy asset growth. Additionally, GFL’s reach expanded beyond Auckland, with notable growth in
non-Auckland regions and greater demographic diversity in its investor base.
Total loans rose by 7% during the 6-month period as GFL’s management adopted a conservative lending
strategy, balancing asset growth with a focus on liquidity. This approach was particularly prudent in the face of
New Zealand’s challenging economic environment in 2024, aiming to protect the Group’s financial health while
ensuring long-term stability.
Overall, GFL’s performance has positively contributed to General Capital’s growth in revenue and profitability,
affirming the Group's strategic direction and highlighting its resilience in navigating market challenges.
Please refer to the attached financial information for detailed segmental results.
3. Dividend Announcement
The Directors are pleased to announce that General Capital Limited will declare its first dividend of 0.55 cents
per share. This milestone reflects the Group’s strong financial performance and commitment to delivering
shareholder value. The dividend aligns with the policy introduced at the last Annual Shareholder Meeting in
July 2024 and underscores the Board’s confidence in the Group’s growth trajectory and financial resilience.
4. General Finance Credit Rating
GFL holds a credit rating from Equifax Australasia Credit Rating Pty Ltd ("Equifax"), which ranges from AAA to C
(excluding ratings for entities in default). General Finance has successfully maintained its BB rating with a Stable
Outlook throughout the period. Under Equifax’s standards, this “Near Prime” rating indicates a low to moderate risk
level. General Finance is pleased to retain this rating, which stands as a strong endorsement of its stability and
performance.
5. Directors
Mr. Paul Zingel has resigned as a non-executive independent director, effective 31 October 2024, and the Board thanks
him for his service during his tenure from 1 March 2022.
6. Acquisition of Bridges Financial Services Limited
On 1 November 2024, General Finance Limited acquired 100% of the shares in Bridges Financial Services Limited
(BFSL), an insurance premium funding business based in Waikato.
BFSL will join the same charging group as General Finance for Trustee requirements under the Non-Bank Deposit
Takers Act.
BFSL maintains a premium funding referral agreement with its sister company, Bridges Insurance Services Limited,
which was recently acquired by Howden Pacific, a part of the London-based global insurance group. This acquisition
strengthens our presence in Waikato and across the North Island.
We are pleased to leverage this strategic opportunity to expand our product offerings and are excited to develop this
new addition to the General Capital Group.
7. Share Consolidation
On 2 August 2024, General Capital executed a 1-for-4 share consolidation. This reduced the total number of
shares on issue from 363,574,975 to 90,893,813.
8. Deposit Takers Act 2023
The Group is actively participating in RBNZ consultations regarding policy proposals for the new prudential standards
under the Deposit Takers Act 2023 (DTA).
The DTA aims to strengthen New Zealand’s financial system by introducing new regulatory powers, a comprehensive
set of standards for both banks and non-bank deposit takers (NBDTs), and a Depositor Compensation Scheme (DCS).
Together, these features will support a safer, more resilient, and trustworthy financial system for New Zealanders.
The proposed core standards encompass four key components of the regulatory framework: capital, liquidity,
disclosure, and DCS requirements. These standards are designed to ensure deposit takers have adequate loss-
absorbing capacity, can meet their payment obligations, provide timely market disclosures, and fulfil the data and
disclosure requirements set by the DCS.
9. Summary
The Group achieved record-breaking results for the six months ended 30 September 2024, with a 39% increase
in revenue and a 31% rise in net profit after tax. Total assets grew by 15% since 31 March 2024, driven by strong
performance from General Finance Limited, which saw significant growth in secured term deposits and loans
while maintaining a conservative lending strategy.
In line with General Capital’s commitment to delivering shareholder value, the Board is pleased to announce
General Capital’s first dividend of 0.55 cents per share. This milestone reflects our confidence in the Group’s
financial resilience and growth trajectory, as well as our dedication to rewarding shareholders.
The acquisition of Bridges Financial Services Limited strengthens our presence in Waikato and broadens our
product offerings. The Group remains focused on navigating regulatory changes under the Deposit Takers Act
2023 and sustaining strong financial performance. The Directors thank our shareholders, investors, and staff for
their continued support.
