Group revenue rose 2.8% for FY26 while net profit fell to AU$67.1m
Underlying EBITDA increased by more than 6% to just over AU$500m
Crown Perth is seeking State approval to market the casino to overseas premium players again

Crown Resorts' group revenue rose 2.8% to AU$2.9bn (US$2.01bn) for FY26, according to figures reported by The West Australian, while the operator's net profit fell from the previous financial year.

Net profit declined to AU$67.1m from AU$142.2m for FY25. The earlier result had been lifted by asset sales, while underlying EBITDA increased by more than 6% to just over AU$500m in FY26, aided by cost reductions. Crown Perth's own revenue increased 2.5% to AU$961.2m.

The Perth property has applied to the Western Australian Government to resume international play, The West Australian reported. The proposed return would allow Crown Perth to market its Burswood casino overseas to premium customers, subject to State approval and controls. No decision or timetable for a restart has been announced. 

International high-roller activity was halted in 2021 amid concerns over money laundering and links between some overseas customer programmes and organised crime. A subsequent Perth Casino Royal Commission found the operator unsuitable to hold its licence in 2022, setting a remediation process under independent monitoring.

In July 2025, the Western Australian Government determined that Crown Perth had become suitable to retain its casino licence after completing remedial work. That finding addressed its overall suitability to operate; any return to international play still requires separate approval.

Crown Perth is also trying to draw more visitors through hospitality investment. Its August announcement outlined a redevelopment of the main atrium, a new dining and bar area and upgrades to Rockpool Bar & Grill. It said the work would continue into 2027, alongside new restaurant openings and other changes to the resort.

The West Australian reported that visitor numbers had eased by about 5% over the preceding three to six months as fuel costs, interest rates and mining-sector redundancies weighed on discretionary spending. Spending by customers who did visit the casino and hospitality venues was higher.

Crown Resorts' wider cost programme included a February plan to shift more than 100 corporate roles offshore, as reported by Global Gaming Insider.
