Rural Funds Group announced final distribution of 2.6075 cents per stapled security on increased earnings of $44 million, an improvement of 29% on previous year. This increase of $9.77 million is mainly attributable to lease income earned from the Natal cattle property aggregation and valuation uplifts in the year ended 30 June 2018.
Groupâs consolidated revenue increased from $41.573 million to $51.087 million in fiscal year 2018. The major chunk of groupâs revenue comes from rental income which was $49 million in FY18.
