Commentary on the Results for the Year

The financial year ended 31 December 2024 (FY2024) was a period of organisational transformation for OpenLearning, underpinned by a strategic focus on SaaS revenue expansion, AI-powered product innovation, and international market penetration. The Company successfully executed its growth and cost optimisation strategy, delivering consistent improvements in recurring revenue, customer adoption, and operational efficiency, positioning itself for long-term scalability and profitability.

Key financial highlights for FY2024:

  • Platform SaaS Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) grew 23% Year-on-Year (YoY) to $2.335 million by the end of FY2024 , driven by increased customer adoption and expansion of AI-powered features.

  • Cash receipts from customers increased 24% YoY to $3.908 million , reflecting strong growth across both SaaS and Marketplace segments.

  • Net operating cash outflows improved by 34% YoY to $(2.198) million , as the Company focused on cost reductions and improved operating efficiencies.

  • Loss after tax decreased by 35.5% YoY to $(2.752) million , reflecting disciplined cost management, operating leverage from the Group’s core technology platform and revenue growth.

OpenLearning’s Product Offering

OpenLearning operates across two core business divisionsPlatform Subscription and Marketplace — each designed to provide scalable, AI-powered solutions to education providers and learners.

1. Platform Subscription (SaaS)

OpenLearning’s AI-powered Learning Management System (LMS) provides a full suite of tools for online learning, course creation, and delivery , catering to education providers, universities, and training institutions.

  • OpenLearning LMS – The flagship end-to-end learning platform , enabling institutions to design, market, deliver, and manage online courses, micro-credentials, and degrees.

SaaS Revenue Growth and AI Product Expansion

OpenLearning's core Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business continues to scale , with strong ARR growth of 23% for FY2024. This growth was supported by:

The Company continued to build strategic alliances and expand into new geographic markets, with key initiatives including:

OpenLearning Limited and Controlled Entities Preliminary Final Report Notes to the financial statements – 31 December 2024

The consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of OpenLearning Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled entities (the “Group”). OpenLearning Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

These general purpose consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

1.2 Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group incurred a net loss for the year of $2,851,622 (2023: $4,421,750) and net operating cash outflows of $2,151,842 (2023: $3,317,107). As at 31 December 2024 the Group had accumulated losses of $42,797,159 (31 December 2023: $39,994,037).

As at 31 December 2024, the Group has net current liabilities of $812,023 (31 December 2023: $550,451) and cash and cash equivalents of $953,164 (31 December 2023: $1,103,418).

The Group has prepared a cashflow forecast for the next 12 months that indicates a risk that the Group may not meet all its payment obligations. However, the directors believe that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis after consideration of the following factors:

  • increasing traction in revenue growth of the Platform Subscription segment with improved gross margins and increasing cash inflow from this segment is expected to reduce cash outflows;

  • implementation of cost reduction initiatives in January 2024 to further reduce operating cash outflows were successful with operating cash outflows declining significantly over the past year;

  • introduction of new products in 2024 and the Group’s plan for expanding The Uni Guide may provide the company with new revenue streams;

  • active management of discretionary expenditure in line with funds availability; and

  • successful completion of a $2 million capital raise in December FY24, inclusive of a $1 million loan facility from the Education Centre of Australia to support the Company’s objectives.

OpenLearning Limited and Controlled Entities Preliminary Final Report Notes to the financial statements – 31 December 2024

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

1.3 Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the Parent (OpenLearning Limited) and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the Parent controls. The Parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 20.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Where applicable, equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises noncontrolling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the pooling of interest method as the Group is a continuation of the existing business of OpenLearning Global Pte Ltd and its subsidiaries. The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Any difference between the consideration paid/transferred and the equity acquired is reflected within equity as a common control reserve. The consolidated income statements and consolidated statements of comprehensive income reflect the results of the combining entities for the entire periods under review, irrespective of when the combination took place. Apart from the above, subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

1.4 Revenue

Revenue arises from Platform SaaS fees, Program delivery, Marketplace sales and Services sales.

To determine recognition of revenue, the Group: (i) identifies the contract with a customer, (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determines the transaction price, (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when or as the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.

(a) Platform SaaS fees

Revenue from platform SaaS subscription fees is recognised over the period during which customers are granted access to the platform.

1.4 Revenue (cont’d)

(b) Program delivery

Revenue from program delivery is recognised over the period of the study program.

  • (c) Marketplace sales

Revenue from marketplace sales is recognised when customers subscribe for the courses and the course is delivered. For courses sold on behalf of third parties, revenue is recognised based on revenue sharing arrangements, if any.

(d) Services sales

Revenue from the provision of services is recognised over time reflecting the progress for the completion of a performance obligation for which the Group has an enforceable right to payment.

Platform SaaS, Program delivery and Services sold to customers in advance, which are yet to be utilised, are recognised initially in the balance sheet as deferred income and released to revenue in line with the above recognition criteria.

1.5 New and Amended Accounting Policies Adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
