Executive summary

  • FY26 marks the final year of restructuring, with operational transformation progressing as planned and a focus on sustainable double-digit growth, management refresh, and improved operational efficiency.

  • Commercial and product teams have been revitalized, with product development embedded in operations and expanded to meet customer-driven demand, including a major mobility project nearing MVP launch.

  • EML 2.0 strategy and Project Arlo are advancing, with a global operating model, unified technology platform, and enhanced commercial execution.

  • Cost base remained well-controlled, with employee and professional fee savings offset by higher VAT/GST and increased share-based payments for new leadership.

  • Cash balance at period end was $47.8 million, down $11.5 million, mainly due to class action settlement, PFS loan repayment, and Arlo CapEx.

Financial highlights

  • Revenue for H1 FY26 was AUD 108.4 million, down 6% year-over-year; customer revenue (ex-interest) down 4% to AUD 79.4 million; interest income fell 11% to AUD 29 million.

  • Underlying EBITDA declined 16% year-over-year to AUD 28 million, impacted by one-off items and client terminations.

  • Statutory NPAT was $(4.0)m, down from $9.5m in the prior period; EPS was (1.04) cps.

  • Cash used in operations was $33.2 million, including $35.4 million class action settlement.

  • Overheads were well managed, down marginally year-over-year and 2% sequentially from H2 FY25.

Outlook and guidance

  • FY26 underlying EBITDA guidance narrowed to AUD 58–60 million due to onboarding lags and slower customer implementation.

  • Pipeline target set at AUD 125 million by year-end, with focus on onboarding, commercial execution, and technology deployment.

  • Aspirational FY28 targets remain unchanged.

  • Continued investment in Arlo and commercial team expansion planned for H2.

  • Management expects to continue as a going concern, supported by updated cash flow forecasts and undrawn debt facilities of $41 million.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
