existing Secure Modern IT Solutions and our Communications and Collaboration businesses where appropriate.

All key suppliers have been novated and onboarded with our focus now being to optimise supplier costs across the Group, with a synergy plan well underway.

We have hired additional sales and marketing resources within TasmaNet and have established a strong connection in the local market through a range of events and targeted programs. We continue to see good opportunities for growth within the business through a mix of new business plus, upsell and cross-sell initiatives from our existing business units.
Investment In Core Capabilities and Key Infrastructure
-
A substantial network and cloud platform integration and rationalisation project has commenced for the domestic businesses. This also includes upgrading core capacity and capability with some one-off capex to being incurred in FY26.

We are consolidating our three domestic telco networks into a single national network (“One Network”) plus merging our two private compute (cloud) infrastructure platforms (“One Cloud”).

Current initial estimates are that this rationalisation project should save the company up to $2m per annum in external costs. We expect to complete this project in Q4 FY26.

Within our Global division, we expanded our reach into new markets and added additional licences and carrier partners in key markets including Vietnam and six additional European countries.
-
We have also laid the groundwork for expansion into further key countries with several licence applications underway.

We also added additional carrier partners in existing markets to add greater capability, supply diversity and to lower our cost of supply.
-
Today, we believe we have the most extensive licensed coverage in the Asia Pacific region for the supply of local PSTN and Unified Communications services including local direct in-dial services (DIDs or telephone numbers) and we are highly regarded in terms of our quality of supply, delivery timeframes and the high levels of customer service we provide.
Business Outlook

The Group remains on track to achieve both our annualised run-rate revenue target of $75m+ and annualised run-rate underlying EBITDA target of $9m to $10m.

Business is seeing continuing strong organic growth opportunities, particularly in Global & Wholesale and Secure Managed IT.
