Sydney, Australia: 30 April 2026: OpenLearning Limited, the AI-powered learning management system ('OpenLearning' or 'the Company') (ASX: OLL) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C cash flow statement for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 (Q1 FY26), along with the following financial and operational update.

The Company delivered another strong quarter, with platform Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) annual recurring revenue (ARR) accelerating to 35% YoY and rising a further 5% quarter-on-quarter to $3.192 million.

Growth was driven by larger multi-year LMS contracts commencing during Q1 FY26, expansion of existing customers onto the full LMS, and new wins across the Philippines and Africa. Average SaaS ARR per B2B customer exceeded $12,500, up more than 30% year-on-year, reflecting the continued uplift in deal size as the Company executes its institutional LMS strategy.

OpenLearning ended the quarter with 255 active B2B SaaS customers across 19 countries. Australia, Malaysia and the Philippines remain the Company's three core markets and together continue to account for approximately $87\%$ of ARR.

LMS Strategy Driving Larger, Multi-Year Contracts

Growth in Q1 FY26 was driven primarily by the commencement and ramp-up of multi-year LMS contracts signed during 2025, together with new wins and customer expansions during the quarter. Institutional buyers are increasingly recognising OpenLearning's AI-powered LMS as a credible, cost-effective and feature-complete alternative to incumbents such as Canvas, Blackboard and Moodle.

The platform's shift from short courses and micro-credentials into full institutional LMS deployments is translating directly into larger average revenue per customer (ARPC), now eclipsing $12,500 and growing at over (30\%$ per annum. Combined with contract terms extending to 3-5 years and multi-year licence agreements exceeding $ 300,000, the Company is building an increasingly predictable and higher-quality recurring revenue base.

Malaysia: Existing Customers Expanding from Short Courses to Full LMS

In Malaysia, OpenLearning continues to execute its land-and-expand strategy, now working with over $40\%$ of Malaysia's public and private universities. After several years of delivering micro-credential and online degree programs in alignment with the Ministry of Higher Education's lifelong learning and digital education initiatives, a growing number of long-standing Malaysian customers are transitioning to using OpenLearning as their primary institutional LMS for on-campus, blended and online delivery.

During Q1 FY26, several established Malaysian partners moved from using OpenLearning for short courses and micro-credentials to adopting the platform as a full institutional LMS, resulting in larger subscription values and longer contract terms. This demonstrates the 5-10x total contract value (TCV) uplift available within the existing Malaysian customer base as institutions consolidate their platform spend with OpenLearning.

New Customers in the Philippines and Africa

OpenLearning's successful expansion in the Philippines continued in Q1 FY26, with additional institutional customers onboarded during the quarter. Following over $2 million in SaaS contracts

signed in the Philippines during 2025, the Company's reseller partnership with CE Logic (a division of C&E Publishing) is delivering a growing pipeline of new institutional opportunities, supported by strong regional brand recognition following the signing of the University of the Philippines Manila, National University, Cebu Institute of Technology and other marquee Filipino institutions.

In Africa, onboarding has been completed with Field Ready under the three-year SaaS agreement announced in Q4 FY25, with course delivery commencing during the quarter for students across Mozambique and Namibia. The Field Ready relationship also brings a referral arrangement that is expected to open further opportunities with African universities and global employers seeking scalable education-to-employment pathways.

AI-Powered Platform Innovation Accelerates

AI remains a central pillar of OpenLearning's product differentiation, both as a direct value driver for customers and as a catalyst for shipping new platform features faster. Usage of the Company's AI tools by educators and institutions continued to grow strongly in Q1 FY26, with platform-wide AI usage reaching a new record after the Q4 seasonal dip typical of the higher education sector.

Key AI-related product enhancements released during Q1 FY26 included:

  • Enhancements to the AI Course Builder — improving the speed, quality and pedagogical structure of AI-generated courses, with expanded support for outcome-based education (OBE) alignment.
  • AI quiz and question bank generation — enabling educators to automatically generate quizzes, exam questions and structured question banks aligned to specific learning outcomes.
  • Contextual AI-powered content generation and feedback — allowing educators to upload files as context for AI-assisted course and content creation, and providing students with AI-generated feedback grounded in the specific course materials.
  • Further AI features in the pipeline — a range of new AI capabilities are in development, including expanded agentic workflows, deeper AI integration across assessment and analytics, and additional tooling to streamline institution-wide course migration and authoring.

Because OpenLearning's AI tools are built on top of existing large language models, the Company is able to switch underlying models based on performance and cost, and continues to benefit from AI-accelerated internal development that enables a small expert team to ship new features at a velocity comparable to much larger incumbents.

Building a Complete Education-to-Employment Ecosystem

Each of the quarter's initiatives, including LMS expansion, Employability Advantage integration, and The Uni Guide's agent aggregator launch reflect OpenLearning's strategy of building a complete education-to-employment ecosystem that solves universities' two biggest challenges: attracting students and demonstrating graduate outcomes.

The marketplace drives course discovery, the AI-powered LMS delivers teaching and learning, and lifelong portfolios and talent search convert learning into verified employability. Each additional institution strengthens this loop for every participant with more students generating richer data, richer data produces stronger employability signals, and stronger employability attracts more students and institutions. This compounding network effect is difficult for single-product competitors to replicate.

The Uni Guide: New Divisional Leadership and Agent Aggregator Traction

OpenLearning has appointed Elaine Starkey to lead The Uni Guide division. Elaine previously founded Global Study Partners, one of the world's leading international agent aggregators, which was acquired by upGrad in 2021. Elaine brings extensive experience in international student recruitment and higher education partnerships, and will be responsible for building out The Uni Guide's agent aggregator model, which connects universities with vetted recruitment agents worldwide and uses AI-powered course matching and student verification.

Under Elaine's leadership, The Uni Guide has already signed agent agreements with University of Newcastle, Kaplan and London Metropolitan University, alongside previously signed agreements with University of the Sunshine Coast, Sunway University and IMU University. These agreements allow The Uni Guide to source and place international students into the universities' programs in exchange for a commission per successful enrolment, typically in the range of AU$2,000 to $5,000+ per student.

The Uni Guide's websites attract close to 1 million visitors a year with approximately one third from overseas, and the division also benefits from OpenLearning's existing relationships with over 250 education providers. With the agent aggregator infrastructure now in place and a growing stable of university partners, The Uni Guide is expected to begin contributing commission-based revenue as student intakes flow through by early 2027.

Restructure and Integration of Employability Advantage

During Q1 FY26, OpenLearning completed a restructure of its Employability Advantage product, which was acquired in April 2025. The restructure substantially reduced operating costs associated with the product, included a rebuild of the underlying platform, and aligned the roadmap to integrate Employability Advantage directly with OpenLearning's LMS.

Going forward, Employability Advantage's suite of work-readiness tools — including skills diagnostics, resume generators, interview simulators, and short courses focused on career preparation — will be delivered as an integrated capability within the OpenLearning LMS rather than as a standalone offering. This repositioning is expected to materially improve unit economics, expand the addressable use cases for the product within existing institutional customers, and reinforce OpenLearning's positioning as an end-to-end education-to-employment platform.

Cash Receipts and Operating Cash Flows

Total cash receipts from customers in Q1 FY26 increased 14% YoY to $1.257 million, reflecting continued growth in new SaaS subscriptions and renewals. Material cash receipts from customers by segment for the quarter were:

  • Platform SaaS - $0.588 million (down 20% YoY, reflecting timing of large SaaS payments)
  • Marketplace - $0.669 million (up 87% YoY, reflecting higher course sales and onboarding/services revenue from clients)

SaaS cash receipts in Q1 FY26 reflect the timing of multi-year contract billings. Given the multi-year, usage-based nature of many of the Company's contracts, SaaS cash receipts are expected to remain variable on a quarter-to-quarter basis, while ARR, which is not subject to billing timing effects, reflects the accrual of SaaS agreements over the contract duration.

Net operating cash outflows for Q1 FY26 were $0.675 million, compared with $0.522 million in Q1 FY25. The year-on-year increase reflects once-off restructuring costs for Employability Advantage and

increased investment in The Uni Guide. Out of the Company's $0.675 million in cash outflows, circa $0.24 million was related to being a publicly listed company. On a like-for-like basis, underlying cash outflows have improved over the prior year, with stronger investment in sales and marketing across key growth markets and continued product development.

The Company derives revenue from its platform offering, which comprises the following products:

  • OpenLearning LMS – Flagship end-to-end AI-powered platform for education providers to create, market, deliver and manage all types of courses.
  • OpenLearning Marketplace – A global network of education marketplaces, including OpenLearning.com, TheUniGuide.com.au and PostGradAustralia.com.au.
  • Biomedical Education and Skills Training (BEST) Network – An image-based teaching tool and virtual microscopy solution for biomedical education at leading medical schools.
  • Employability Advantage – Suite of work-readiness tools, now integrated with OpenLearning's LMS, including skills diagnostics, resume generators, interview simulators, and short courses focused on career preparation.

The Company's total available funding as at 31 March 2026 was $1.407 million.

OpenLearning Group CEO & Managing Director Adam Brimo said: "Q1 FY26 was another strong quarter for OpenLearning, with SaaS ARR growing 35% year-on-year to $3.192 million and average revenue per customer now exceeding $12,500 – up more than 30% on the same time last year. This is a direct result of the strategic shift we have executed over the past 18 months towards larger, longer-term institutional LMS contracts.

What's particularly exciting is how AI and our network effects are now compounding. Our AI-powered LMS is shipping meaningful new capabilities every release, and with the marketplace, Employability Advantage and The Uni Guide all integrated into one platform, every new institution strengthens the network effect for all our customers. We have 17 consecutive quarters of SaaS growth behind us and are well positioned for the AI era."

Ends.
