- ROW delivered a 17% uplift in revenue on pcp to $7.2m, reflecting continued strong underlying demand across key international markets, including the UK and US.

Growth was driven by the Group's top 10 clients in the region, which grew their revenue contribution by 48%, through increased project volumes and higher average project values.

The result reflects strong client demand for scalable, technology-enabled offerings, with recent product developments further enhancing the platform's long-term growth potential.
- Pureprofile completed the acquisition of CRNRSTONE on 1 March 2026, which contributed approximately $0.2m of revenue in Q3 FY26. The integration process is progressing well, with the team successfully onboarded into Pureprofile's operating framework and ways of working. The Company has deployed its operating and go-to-market strategy for the qualitative research business unit and is pleased with early progress.

- Revenue from our Top 25 clients grew by a marked 47% on pcp, demonstrating the strength of our relationships with key accounts. Client numbers increased to 966 for Q3 FY26, supported by further investment in ROW sales capability Annuity revenue was $15.9m for the rolling 12 months to the end of 31 March 2026 (previously $14.1m to the end of 31 December 2025).
