1 This refers to restated 1H23 revenue from continuing operations.
Spacetalk's entry into the 4G and 5G mobile handset plans market as flagged in the market announcement on 13 December 2023, and the strong subscriber base at the end of the period, positions the company to further consolidate subscriber growth and annual recurring revenue (ARR) in the future.
Spacetalk revenue growth momentum continues.
Spacetalk 1H24 revenue is forecast to grow by over 20% compared to the prior corresponding period. The revenue growth is underpinned by growth in Spacetalk Mobile (MVNO) revenue, resulting from the growth in active subscribers. Spacetalk wearables revenue is forecast to record double digit growth, reflecting the strength of the Spacetalk brand, resulting in Spacetalk outperforming the overall category in a challenging market. Spacetalk will further update the market regarding 2Q24 performance in its Quarterly Activity Report which will be lodged by 23 January 2024 and 1H24 performance by 26 February 2024.
Commenting on Spacetalk's performance, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Simon Crowther, said:
"I am delighted to provide a positive interim update ahead of our half year results which reflects our commitment to communicate more effectively with shareholders and the wider investor community. Spacetalk continues to deliver growth that reflects the focused execution of our strategy. We are building an ecosystem of interconnected products and Spacetalk Mobile subscriber growth is pleasing as it demonstrates the strength of the Spacetalk suite of products that together deliver safety for families. Strong activation of devices and retention of existing customers drove the growth in Spacetalk Mobile subscribers, and this underpins our overall strategy to continue the growth of our subscription-based revenue model in addition to wearables revenue. The Company forecasts to deliver more than 20% revenue growth during 1H24 in a challenging market, and I am excited by the Spacetalk Mobile revenue trajectory. We are on track to meet our stated long term ARR target of $20-$25m in ARR over the 3 years from FY23".
