Explanation of figures reported above to enable the figures to be understood
QuickFee completed the sale of its US Pay Now (ACH, Card and Connect) business for US$26.35 million on 9 September 2025. This represented an acquisition multiple of 5× revenue, based on the FY25 Pay Now revenue of US$5.3 million.

Review of operations and activities
QuickFee returns to core operations and delivers underlying revenue growth and positive NPAT
In H1 FY26, QuickFee simplified its business model and returned to its core business, with the divestment of its US Pay Now business (ACH, Card and Connect). The US operations are now focussed solely on the Finance product.
Reported revenue was down 14% to A$10.1 million (H1 FY25: A$11.7 million), however the underlying business - excluding divested products - delivered revenue growth of 4% on a like-for-like basis.
The sale of the US Pay Now business led to a 40% reduction in total operating expenses in H1 FY26 on pcp. Reported EBTDA (excluding the profit on sale) of A$2.0 million was up significantly from A$0.3 million in H1 FY25. Importantly, this improved profitability with positive reported NPAT of A$0.8m (H1 FY25: loss of A$1.2 million) (again before the profit on sale).
QuickFee has proposed an interim dividend of 0.5 cent per share, in line with the updated capital management strategy.

SALE OF US PAY NOW BUSINESS
QuickFee completed the sale of its US Pay Now (ACH, Card and Connect) business for US$26.35 million. This represented an acquisition multiple of 5x revenue, based on the FY25 Pay Now revenue of US$5.3 million. QuickFee retained its US Finance loan book and US Finance product.
QuickFee’s US Pay Now business was acquired by Aiwyn, Inc., a US technology company. Aiwyn delivers payments, practice management and tax solutions to accounting firms. The large majority of QuickFee US staff transitioned to Aiwyn.
QuickFee established a reseller agreement with Aiwyn, whereby QuickFee’s US Finance offering will be embedded
into Aiwyn’s products. QuickFee retains a team in the US to continue to operate and grow the US Finance business, the loan book of which was US$7.9 million as at 31 December 2025.
RETURN OF CAPITAL
In December 2025, QuickFee completed a return of capital via an equal share capital reduction to return approximately A$28.5 million of the proceeds of the recent sale of its US Pay Now business. The balance of proceeds, after transaction costs and escrowed deposits, were deployed in the business and to reduce its current level of borrowings in line with its existing policy of keeping a minimum level of cash on hand to run the business, in order to minimise borrowing costs.
QUICKFEE FINANCE
Fee Funding
The Fee Funding product allows clients to pay over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months while the firm gets paid in full within three business days at no cost to the firm, usually with no credit approval process for the client. Revenue is generated from the interest paid by the clients of professional services firms when they take out a payment plan to pay the fee invoices they receive.
As revenue is recognised over the life of the loan term, loan origination growth in any quarter will positively impact revenue in both current and future quarters. Similarly originations declining in any quarter adversely impact future revenue.
Legal Disbursement Funding (LDF) (AU ONLY)
The LDF product provides cashflow for personal injury and estate law firms to pay disbursements on their clients’ matters, which need to be paid during the course of each matter. Funds are remitted to the firm within one day of a drawdown request being made. Each loan agreement is directly with the firm, avoiding any consumer credit implications.
Interest is calculated daily and compounds monthly. The loan principal and accrued interest is repayable in full by the firm on the earlier of when each client matter settles and 36 months, regardless of the outcome of the matter. Revenue is recognised over the life of the loan term, which results in revenue recognition on existing loans independent of new loan originations.

Financial Performance
H1 FY26 revenue up 4% on pcp, delivering attractive net interest margin with strong growth potential
REVENUE
In H1 FY26, QuickFee generated A$8.5 million in revenue from ongoing operations, up 4% on normalised pcp i.e. like-for-like excluding US Pay Now products.
Reported group revenue was down 14% to A$10.1 million for H1 FY26 (H1 FY25: A$11.7 million), reflecting the sale of the US Pay Now business effective 9 September 2025. Interest revenue was up 1% to A$7.2 million (H1 FY25: A$7.1 million) and payments and other revenue decreased 37% to A$2.7 million (H1 FY25: A$4.6 million).
QuickFee’s core operations delivered an attractive net interest margin (NIM) of 15.0% in H1 FY26. This net interest margin has grown steadily over time from 13.0% in Q1 FY24 with low volatility on a quarterly basis. This reflects QuickFee’s robust business model in the high-margin, B2B fee-funding industry for the accounting and legal professions across Australia and the United States.
QuickFee recorded a profit on sale of A$35.6 million from the sale of the US Pay Now business.

EXPENSES
QuickFee refinanced its loan book borrowings facility in late June 2025, at slightly lower rates. This refinance, coupled with repaying borrowings from the proceeds of the sale of the US Pay Now business, resulted in operating interest expense decreasing by 7% to A$2.6 million (H1 FY25: A$2.8 million).
Other cost of sales remained level at A$1.3 million. While cost of sales in Australia increased by A$0.2 million, US cost of sales decreased by A$0.2 million as a result of the US Pay Now sale.
Operating expenses were down 40% to A$4.4 million (H1 FY25: A$7.3 million), primarily driven by removal of overheads associated with the US Pay Now business, including staff across all categories. General and administrative expenses were down A$0.6 million on H1 FY25; sales and marketing and customer acquisition costs were down A$1.2 million in aggregate; and product development costs were down by A$1.2 million.
Net bad debt write-offs in H1 FY26 were A$12,000, 0.02% of total lending (H1 FY25: 0.02%). The average over the last 8 and a half years since FY18 is 0.13%. The provision for expected credit losses (ECL) at 31 December 2025 was A$3.4 million (which includes A$3.3 million for exposure on a specific single US firm). The general ECL provision is 0.2% of the total loan receivables at 31 December 2025 (30 June 2025: 0.2%).
The group’s depreciation and amortisation charge decreased to A$0.6 million (H1 FY25: A$1.3 million) due to prior year accelerated amortisation of previously capitalised costs arising from the establishment of existing borrowing facilities, which were replaced in the second half of FY25.
The group reported a positive EBTDA of A$2.0 million (excluding the profit on sale of the US Pay Now business in the current period), a A$1.7 million improvement over H1 FY25 (A$0.3 million). QuickFee delivered positive group profit after tax of A$0.8 million (H1 FY25: loss of A$1.2 million) before the profit on sale. Reported profit after tax and including the profit on sale was up A$37.7 million to A$36.5 million.

BALANCE SHEET
Net assets at 31 December 2025 amounted to A$13.5 million (30 June 2025: A$5.5 million), an increase of A$8.0 million.
At 31 December 2025, the Company had available liquidity of A$9.6 million, comprising A$4.7 million unrestricted cash on hand and A$4.9 million in immediately available funds based on current loan receivables. Further borrowing growth capacity of a further A$19.8 million from
its receivables-backed borrowings facilities is available to fund future loan book growth. The group remains well funded with adequate liquidity and growth capacity.
The growth in the Finance product in Australia has meant the total loan book has grown 4% to A$60.9 million at 31 December 2025 (30 June 2025: A$58.6 million).

| UNDERLYING EBTDA* | 1,293 | 771 | +68% |
- Underlying EBTDA excludes the impact of the sale of the US Pay Now business.
Reported US revenue decreased by 40% on pcp to A$3.4 million (H1 FY25: A$5.6 million), reflecting the sale of the US Pay Now business, as well as weaker US Finance volumes. This was in line with expectations as US Finance volumes were adversely impacted by the termination of new loan originations from one US firm who defaulted on its repayments (see ASX release dated 4 June 2025 for more details).
QuickFee has established a reseller agreement with Aiwyn (the organisation that purchased QuickFee’s US Pay Now business), whereby QuickFee’s US Finance offering is being embedded into Aiwyn’s products. This reseller agreement creates the opportunity for QuickFee to offer its Finance product to Aiwyn’s customers which include approximately 300 of the CPA firms ‘Top 500’. Aiwyn have established plans to expose the QuickFee Finance solution to their customers throughout H2 FY26.
QuickFee now has three employees in the US, all of whom worked for QuickFee prior to the divestment, to support growth of the US Finance loan book through both the Aiwyn reseller channel and other direct sales channels. This team has a combined 12 years’ experience with QuickFee.
QuickFee now has negligible product development expenses and capex requirements in the US, thus significantly improving the profitability and scalability of the US operations.
Importantly, the underlying US business is performing well with revenue yields increasing by 170 bps on pcp to 10.1% in H1 FY26. The US loan book was US$7.9 million as at 31 December 2025.

AU revenue increased 11% to A$6.8 million (H1 FY25: A$6.1 million), reflecting a 3% decrease in AU Finance TTV to A$30.6 million (H1 FY25: A$31.7 million) and significant margin expansion with a Finance revenue yield of 19.4%, up 250 bps on pcp, primarily due to the continued growth in the legal disbursement funding book, which now comprises 39% of the AU loan book.
Finance Plans in the period increased 1% to 5,835 (H1 FY25: 5,761) and active firms were stable at 490 (H1 FY25: 487).
Recent legislated changes required BNPL operators in Australia to hold an Australia Credit Licence (ACL). QuickFee has now been granted an ACL, which allows the Company to continue to offer BNPL products and also certain other credit products to consumers in Australia under the National Credit Code. However, due to the very onerous compliance requirements now in place to underwrite BNPL consumers (borrowers) under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, and the immaterial level of profit currently derived from the BNPL product, new originations of BNPL loans have been discontinued. The existing BNPL loan book is currently being run-off and is expected to be materially cleared by December 2026.

1 Segment information
(a) Description of segments and principal activities
The group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer.
Management examines the group’s performance from both a geographic, product development and product profitability perspective and has identified the following reportable operating segments of its business:
(i) Payment and lending operations in Australia (AU);
(ii) Payment and lending operations in the United States (US);
These parts of the business operates a suite of payment and lending offerings via an online portal to professional, commercial and homeowner services providers in Australia and the US. These solutions help customers of service providers access the advice and services they need, with the choice to pay immediately in full or over time by instalment. The executive management team monitors the performance in the Australian and US regions separately.
- (iii) Product development: this part of the business undertakes the research and development of the group’s software and technology solutions.
In addition, Management also examines the group’s same performance across a different set of segments, namely ‘product profitability’ and has identified the following product profitability segments of its business:
-
(i) In Australia: QuickFee EFT & Card (‘Pay Now’); QuickFee Finance; and QuickFee Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL or Q Pay Plan);
-
(ii) In the United States: QuickFee ACH (‘Pay Now’); QuickFee Card (‘Pay Now’); QuickFee Finance; and QuickFee Connect. Effective 9 September 2025, the group sold its US ACH, Card and Connect products. Refer to note 3 for details.
The group does not have any customers that make up more than 10% of group revenue.
(b) Country and product development segments
(i) Gross profit and EBTDA
Gross profit is equal to revenue, less cost of sales and less interest expense on borrowings that support loan receivables. EBTDA is equal to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) less interest expense on borrowings that support loan receivables.
(ii) Share-based payment expenses
In the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the line item ‘general and administrative expenses’ includes share-based payment expenses. In this note, these expenses are itemised separately and excluded from the ‘general and administrative expenses’ line item.

3 Profit on sale of US Pay Now business
During the half-year ended 31 December 2025, the Group sold its US Pay Now (ACH, Card and Connect) business for total consideration of US$26,350,000. QuickFee will continue to retain and operate its US Finance loan book and US Finance product.
The profit on sale recognised in the statement of profit or loss is calculated as follows:
| $’000 | |
|---|---|
| Consideration received as cash | 38,237 |
| Cash held in escrow | 1,968 |
| Total consideration | 40,205 |
| Carrying value of net assets disposed of | (488) |
| Transaction and disposal expenses | (4,107) |
| Proft on sale of business | 35,610 |
The sale was completed on 9 September 2025. QuickFee received A$1,968,000 which is held in an escrow account until 10 September 2026 to support QuickFee’s customary sale agreement representations and warranties.
The carrying value of net assets disposed of primarily comprised property, plant and equipment and internally generated software.
The sale of the US Pay Now business was a sale of intellectual property, customer contracts and software that supported the group’s operation of certain products (ACH, Card and Connect). The operations and cashflows of the assets sold cannot be distinguished from the rest of the group (except for the revenue generated from each of those assets) and thus the sale does not meet the definition of a discontinued operation under AASB 5 Non Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
As part of the disposal of the US Pay Now business, a provision of $1,539,000 has been recognised for an obligation arising in connection with the disposal, with settlement expected to occur progressively in future periods. The amounts recognised in current liabilities of $614,000 and non-current liabilities of $925,000 reflect management’s current estimate of the outflows required to settle this obligation, which will continue to be reassessed at each reporting date.
Cash proceeds arising from the sale of $38,237,000 are disclosed within investing activities in the statement of cash flows on page 16 of this report.
The profit on sale was subject to income tax based on the tax deductible cost bases of the disposed assets. Based on provisional tax calculations, unused Australian and United States tax losses are being utilised to offset fully the assessable income resulting from the profit on sale.

4 Financial assets and financial liabilities
(a) Cash-in-transit, loan receivables and firm settlements outstanding
Cash and cash equivalents includes A$10,098,000 (30 June 2025: A$6,806,000) of cash balances held on behalf’s of the group’s customers in bank accounts that are used to process the group’s US ACH (Pay Now) transactions. These amounts are also included within the firm settlements outstanding balance shown in the table below. From 10 September 2025, after the group had sold its US Pay Now business, ownership of this cash balance and the corresponding firm settlements outstanding liability transferred to Aiwyn, Inc. In February 2026 the cash balance was formally transferred to Aiwyn, Inc. and these bank accounts were closed.

12,522 – 12,522 11,013 – 11,013 |
(i) Classification of gross loan receivables
Gross loan receivables are amounts due from customers of firms for payment plans (loans) entered into in the ordinary course of business from the QuickFee Finance and BNPL products.
(ii) Recognition and measurement of gross loan receivables
Gross loan receivables are non-derivative financial assets, with fixed and determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loan receivables are initially recognised at fair value. The group holds the loan receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Loan receivables are due for settlement at various times, typically up to 12 months, in line with the terms of their contracts.
(iii) Classification of firm settlements outstanding
Firm settlements outstanding represent the following:
-
payment plans (loans) approved but yet to be settled by the group to firms, usually due to the first instalment having not been received as cleared funds; and
-
pay in full transactions yet to be settled by the group to firms.
(iv) Recognition and measurement of firm settlements outstanding
Firm settlements outstanding are non-derivative financial liabilities, with fixed and determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The carrying amounts of firm settlements outstanding are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. Transactions awaiting settlement turnover quickly, typically within one to seven days.

(i) Viola Credit (Viola)
The Viola facility was drawn on 30 June 2025 and consists of a A$45 million and US$15 million committed first lien facility. The facility is drawable in either Australian or US dollars up to these limits, with an additional optional A$20 million and US$15 million accordion feature, subject to Viola’s approval. The debt is secured over certain identified loan receivables of QuickFee AU and QuickFee US. The AU dollar credit facility attracts interest at 6.5% per annum plus AU BBSW. The US dollar credit facility attracts interest at 6.5% per annum plus SOFR. In addition, a fee of 1% per annum applies to any unused portion of the committed million facility. At 31 December 2025, AU$38.6 million and US$6.0 million was drawn from the facility. The facility revolving period ends on 25 June 2028 and there is a 12 month amortisation period thereafter. The group was in compliance with all facility agreement covenants throughout the year.
(ii) Fancourt Capital Group (Fancourt)
The Fancourt term loan facility was drawn on 27 June 2025 and consists of a A$5 million term loan facility. The facility is drawable in Australian dollars. The debt is secured with a first ranking security over the parent company and certain assets of the group. The AU facility attracts interest at 10% per annum plus AU BBSW. At 31 December 2025, AU$5 million was drawn from the facility. The facility matures on 25 December 2028. The group was in compliance with all facility agreement covenants throughout the year.
(iii) Fair values
The fair values of borrowings are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on those borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature.
(iv) Capitalised borrowing costs
Carrying values of borrowings are offset by prepaid costs of establishment of both facilities.

(d) Information concerning the classification of securities
Share options and performance rights granted and vested are considered to be potential ordinary shares for the half-year ended 31 December 2025. The outstanding share options and performance rights are not treated as dilutive for the half-year ended 31 December 2024 because their conversion to ordinary shares would not increase the loss per share from continuing operations for that period and thus they are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the half-year ended 31 December 2024. These securities could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

On 24 February 2026, the Directors of QuickFee Limited approved an interim ordinary dividend in respect of the half-year ended 31 December 2025.

Independent auditor’s review report to the members of QuickFee Limited
Report on the half-year financial report
Our conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of QuickFee Limited (the Company), and its subsidiaries (the Group) does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
— giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its financial performance for the half-year then ended; and
- complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
What was reviewed?
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group, which comprises:
-
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025,
-
the consolidated of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the half-year then ended,

Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia.

Independent auditor’s review report

Responsibilities of the directors for the half-year financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
