Quarterly Activities Report & Appendix 4C for March 2025 Quarter

Highlights

• Strong 1H25 growth in sales and fee revenue of 13% driven by exceptional performance of the Company’s most material business, VET-in-Schools, which grew 1H25 revenue 29% over pcp

• Seasonally strong March quarter generated $4.6m in customer receipts and positive operating cashflow of $2.0m, contributing to the cash balance growing from $1.1m to $3.5m over the quarter. This would have been even stronger but some receipts were delayed into April, resulting in a further $2.3m received in the current month to date. The Company remains debt free

• Operating leverage strengthened with 1H25 operating cost growth of only 1% on pcp*

• The performance positions the Company well to deliver on its previously stated FY25 ambitions of baseline organic growth of 15%, whilst managing cost growth to unlock operating leverage

Trading Update

The Company is building on FY24’s positive underlying EBITDA and operating cashflow results.

• VET-in-Schools : Strong performance of the high margin VET-in-Schools business (revenue up 29%* on pcp) attributable to 94% customer retention, 55 new school customers, an increase in qualifications being taken by retained schools and robust price performance. The performance is ahead of our previously stated target of 25% growth, with momentum expected to continue with strong pre-sales for the 2026 school year.

• eBooks : Growth in the domestic Direct eBooks business (revenue up 10%* on the prior comparable period) driven by 91% customer retention and 7 new school customers. eBooks is a robust business with meaningful strategic optionality. Revenue CAGR in eBooks is 9.5% over the last 5 years. Given the attractiveness of investing growth capital into the VET-inschools business, ReadCloud is carefully assessing the most impactful approach to accelerating revenue growth in the eBooks business. The Company is investigating and comparing the potential impact of investing in:

  • an additional distribution channel

  • increasing sales efforts in the international market

  • introducing sales efforts in the primary school sector

  • expanding sales efforts in States beyond the traditionally strong Queensland market.

• Unaudited. The Company has a 30 September year-end.

• The Company is well positioned to invest in growth optionality with $3.5m in cash and no debt as at 31 March 2025, particularly given forecast operating cashflow positivity in FY25.

The outlook provided with the FY24 Results in November is confirmed. Management remains focussed on disciplined execution that unlocks operating leverage. The baseline target for continuing organic revenue growth is 15%. Cost growth is targeted to be meaningfully lower than revenue growth.

Finance Update

• $1.6m net cash from operating activities in 1H25 up 16% on pcp

• Cash payments for operating activities in the March quarter totalled $2.9m, a $0.68m or 19% reduction on pcp primarily due to the timing of payments to schoolbook publishers

• 1H25 Employment Costs are 3% lower than pcp*

• Cash flows from financing activities included $0.5m received from the exercise of 4.97 million options at $0.10 each (including by Directors, management and institutional shareholders)

• Payments to related parties (item 6.1 of the attached Appendix 4C) consisted of remuneration paid to directors during the quarter

As at 31 March 2025 ReadCloud had cash reserves of $3.5m and no debt. The Company’s Appendix 4C Cash Flow Statement accompanies this report.

• Unaudited. The Company has a 30 September year-end.
