ClearView Wealth Ltd‑Australia Announces Share Buy‑Back Amid Market Realignment

Sydney, 22 October 2025 – ClearView Wealth Ltd‑Australia (ASX: CVW), a diversified provider of life‑insurance, wealth‑management and financial‑advice solutions, confirmed the execution of a daily share buy‑back programme on the ASX All Markets. The announcement follows the company’s recent efforts to optimise capital structure and return value to shareholders in a market that has seen heightened volatility across the financial‑services sector.

Key Transaction Details

  • Class of securities: Ordinary fully‑paid shares (CVW: ORDINARY FULLY PAID)
  • Total shares repurchased to date: 26 573 407
  • Shares repurchased on 22 October 2025: 250 000
  • Date of first buy‑back notification: 10 March 2025
  • Latest update date: 22 October 2025

The buy‑back is being conducted on‑market, with the company utilising excess liquidity to purchase shares at prevailing market prices. This move is consistent with ClearView Wealth’s strategy to enhance earnings per share (EPS) and increase share price stability in a sector that has experienced a 52‑week low of AUD 0.31 and a high of AUD 0.61 in recent months.

Market Context

ClearView Wealth’s market capitalisation sits at AUD 357.8 million, with a price‑to‑earnings ratio of 23.36. The company’s share price closed at AUD 0.57 on 20 October 2025, reflecting modest upward momentum following the buy‑back announcement. The financial‑services industry in Australia remains highly competitive, with firms seeking to differentiate through advisory depth, product breadth, and capital efficiency.

Broader Corporate Activity

While ClearView Wealth’s buy‑back underscores a shareholder‑friendly approach, the broader ClearView entity has been active on the energy frontier. A separate transaction involving ClearView Resources Ltd – an oil and gas subsidiary – concluded on 20 October 2025 with the sale of its shares to a publicly traded energy company at AUD 1.84 per share. The divestiture aligns with ClearView Resources’ strategic pivot away from upstream activities, freeing capital for reinvestment into core wealth‑management operations.

Outlook

ClearView Wealth’s commitment to a disciplined buy‑back programme signals confidence in its long‑term growth prospects and financial health. By reducing the number of shares outstanding, the company aims to boost EPS, support share price resilience, and deliver tangible returns to its shareholder base. Investors should monitor subsequent disclosures for updates on the cumulative buy‑back volume and any strategic initiatives that may further strengthen ClearView’s competitive position in Australia’s financial‑services landscape.
