It has been a record year of giving back for Capricorn

Capricorn says it is proud to announce a record-breaking $100 million in Member Returns for FY25, putting profits back into the hands of thousands of small businesses across Australia and New Zealand.
It says this milestone reflects Capricorn’s commitment to supporting its Members, including mechanical workshops, collision repairers, auto electricians, and other small business owners, who are the backbone of the community.
“By returning $100 million to our Members for FY25, we’re helping businesses reinvest in their workshops, reward their teams, or reward themselves and their family,” Capricorn Group Chief Executive Officer, Brad Gannon, said.
“We know just how tough being a small business owner can be, so we are proud to be returning such a substantial amount to our Community.
“Capricorn’s purpose is to support small businesses and help them thrive. This milestone shows just how powerful being a Member of our cooperative can be.”
This year’s Member Returns for FY25 include:
• $20 million in Trade Rebates, paid as additional Capricorn Rewards Points*
• A 7 cent per share dividend for Shareholders (fully franked in Australia and partially franked in New Zealand)
• Millions of Rewards Points earned on everyday purchases
The Capricorn Trade Rebate is a unique benefit that rewards Members for spending through their Trade Account.
A portion of Capricorn’s profits is returned as additional Rewards Points, automatically credited to Members’ accounts, with no forms or applications required.
These points can be used for tools, equipment, travel, or even paying off the Trade Account.
“Capricorn is built on the strength of our Community. When our Members succeed, we succeed, and this record return is proof of that partnership in action,” Brad said.
“Capricorn’s Member Returns are more than just numbers; they’re benefits going back into local businesses that keep vehicles on the road and communities moving.
“Whether it’s upgrading workshop equipment, rewarding staff, or funding a well-earned break, these returns make a tangible difference for our Members.”
Members can earn 1.5 Rewards Points for every $1 spent on eligible purchases throughout the financial year. There is no expiry pressure, as points can be used when it suits the business
