Summary of Delfi FY21 Financial Results

In summary, Delfi’s improved 2021 business performance can be attributed to:

  • Higher revenue driven by their own brands and agency brands portfolio
  • Higher gross profit margins achieved
  • Tight control of operating expenses and
  • Lower finance costs

I may refrain from buying more of Delfi since the share price has gone up. Once the share price has come down after the dividend payout, I may consider further accumulation as part of my continued strategy of building a dividend portfolio.
