MARAC Finance reinvestment rate rises
Net profit rose to $25.9 million in the 12 months ended June 30, the company said in a statement. Operating costs to net income crept up to 37%, it said.
MARAC has managed to avoid the worst pitfalls of dwindling liquidity that has caused more than 20 rivals to fail or suspend payments. This month it established a $300 million facility through its securitisation program and negotiated an $80 million increase in its syndicated banking facility.
"MARAC Finance's liquidity was $250 million at July 31," managing director Brian Jolliffe said. "This is a much higher level that the company traditionally holds but in the current difficult market environment is considered a prudent step."
Growth in financial receivables slowed to 8% in the latest year. Impaired assets increased to 11.7% from 8.1%.
