Firstfolio has reported a significant lift in its half-year earnings to December last year and expects to report earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of approximately $1 million.

This $1.2 million improvement has been realised from growing economies of scale within its expanded loan portfolio, reduced operating costs and improved yield management across the mortgage-managed loan portfolio.

The half-year result, which includes only two months’ earnings from the eChoice and Domain Financial Services acquisitions, has led Firstfolio to provide full-year 2009 EBITDA guidance in the range of $4.5 million and $5.5 million.

Firstfolio chief executive Mark Forsyth said “on an annualised basis, the increased earnings from the two acquisitions is tracking in the range of $6 to $8 million.”

Firstfolio has delivered double digit revenue growth for the past three financial years, Forsyth said.

“Our loan book now stands at $11.6 billion and we are beginning to see this scale flow through to significant earnings growth.”

In the past 12 months, Firstfolio has successfully integrated a number of acquisitions and distribution joint ventures, Forsyth said.
