Digital Platforms Accelerate EV Uptake and Client Retention
McMillan Shakespeare's digital platforms — Oly, MyMaxxia, and MyRemServ — showed rapid growth in small business novated sales. Kalkine notes that EV penetration rose notably as customers embrace electric vehicles supported by digital tools and ongoing government incentives.
Oly's performance highlights the company's shift toward scalable, technology-enabled services. The platforms lift customer engagement and reduce friction in salary packaging and fleet management decisions, supporting the positive FY27 outlook.
Fully Franked Dividend and On-Market Buyback Signal Confidence
McMillan Shakespeare declared a fully franked interim dividend of 70 cents per share with an ex-date of September 10, 2026. Kalkine confirms the dividend is 100 percent franked, returning cash to shareholders while maintaining financial flexibility.
