H1 2026 earnings summary
16 Sep, 2026Executive summary
Revenue for H1 FY26 was $1.0m, down from $4.8m in H1 FY25, reflecting lower bookings and deferred revenue movement.
Adjusted EBITDA loss increased to $5.3m from $4.6m YoY, driven by lower revenue partially offset by reduced operating expenses.
Achieved first-ever positive cash flow quarter in Q1 FY26, but overall H1 saw a net cash outflow of $1.4m.
Pipeline value and quality improved significantly, with new sales team fully staffed by June 2026.
Completed an oversubscribed fundraise post-period, raising $7.2m gross to support growth and balance sheet stability.
Financial highlights
Total bookings were $0.5m (H1 FY25: $3.8m); closing ACV rose to $5.3m from $4.8m at year-end 2025.
Billings for H1 FY26 were $2.8m; RCB at period end was $5.7m, with $3.3m expected to be billed within 12 months.
Cash at 30 June 2026 was $2.6m, down from $6.1m YoY; cash overheads for H1 were $6.3m, in line with annualized guidance.
Total comprehensive loss for the period was $4.8m (H1 FY25: $4.6m loss).
Deferred revenue at period end was $0.1m, down from $2.0m YoY.
Outlook and guidance
FY26 annualized cost base expected to remain at $12-13m, maintaining cost discipline.
Cash flow breakeven achieved in Q1, but full-year breakeven may be delayed due to longer sales cycles and timing of key contract closures.
Pipeline continues to grow, especially in the USA, UK, and ANZ, but full sales productivity ramp expected to take several months.
Proceeds from the July 2026 fundraise will support new customer acquisition and product scaling.
