National Australia Bank reported its fiscal 2026 results on Thursday, November 5, and set the next key date for shareholders: the final dividend record date falls on Wednesday, November 11. The bank announced an 85-cent dividend per ordinary share, payable on December 15. Its full-year results announcement was issued by NAB on November 5.

Revenue growth meets higher costs

CEO Andrew Irvine said NAB delivered strong underlying profit growth in FY26, supported by higher volumes and stable margins. Underlying profit, excluding the large notable item announced at the half, increased 6.9%, while revenue grew 5.8%. Costs rose 4.5%, and net interest margin improved.

The bank said the operating backdrop remained difficult, citing higher inflation, five cash rate rises, rising living costs and global uncertainty. Irvine said customer confidence and business conditions were under pressure, while households and companies continued to absorb higher costs.

Dividend calendar stays in focus

The final dividend is fully franked at the Australian company tax rate of 30%. The ex-dividend date is Tuesday, November 10, followed by the record date on November 11. The dividend will be paid on December 15, while NAB's annual general meeting is scheduled for December 10, according to the bank's shareholder announcement.

The final payment takes total dividends for FY26 to 1.70 Australian dollars per share. That keeps shareholder distributions central to the investment case, although the record date determines eligibility and does not itself change the bank's operating outlook.

Management plans a simpler operating model

NAB said it plans to simplify its operating model and reduce its workforce by up to 2,500 roles by September 2027. Management said the changes are intended to reduce duplication, speed decisions, strengthen risk controls and direct investment toward customer priorities. Irvine described the decisions as difficult but said NAB entered FY27 with good underlying momentum and clear strategic priorities.
