ARB Corporation (ASX:ARB) reported a 5.2% decline in full-year net profit after tax to $92.4 million as annual revenues dipped across key operating metrics.

The full-year profit figure compares to the $97.5 million net profit it generated in the previous financial year.

Underlying profit after tax excluding adjustments fell 7.5% to $89 million after accounting for a $2.1 million gain on property sales and a $1.4 million fair value adjustment on contingent consideration.

Sales to the Australian aftermarket were impacted by lower new 4x4 vehicle sales, a key driver of ARB's sales to this category.

Following the announcement, the ARB share price was unchanged at $22.26.

The company has declared a final dividend of 35 cents per share. Total ordinary dividends of 69 cents per share for FY26 are unchanged from FY25. The final dividend will be paid on Oct. 23.

The business expanded its global operational footprint during the period by opening a dedicated office in Shanghai alongside a new warehouse and engineering facility in California.

The company also expanded its product lineup through new collaborative accessory launches for the Ford Ranger Super Duty and the release of its first in-house winch product.
