Dan Murphy’s owner Endeavour expects to report a sharp drop in full-year profit after flagging a $311 million hit associated with boss Jayne Hrdlicka’s restructure of the business.
But once the $311m in charges from asset writedowns and restructuring are included, Endeavour’s profits plummet from $426m in 2025 to just $52m in 2026.

There would be $67m in writedowns coming from 25 hotels and another $45m in 75 liquor stores, as well as $4m in retail range rationalisation.
