ASX Announcement | 29 July 2025 Spacetalk Ltd (ASX: SPA)
Quarterly Activities Report, Business Update and Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 30 June 2025
Spacetalk Ltd (ASX: SPA) (“Spacetalk” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 30 June 2025 (4QFY25) along with an operational update[1] .
Financial Highlights:
-
Paid Mobile Subscriber Growth: Paid subscribers for Spacetalk Mobile (MVNO) grew to 44.4k in 4QFY25, up from 30.9k in 4QFY24 – a 44% year-on-year increase . This growth reflects the ongoing appeal and strong performance of the Spacetalk Mobile offering.
-
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) Growth: ARR grew to $12.1m in 4QFY25, up 25% from $9.7m in 4QFY24. The shift toward higher-quality, recurring revenue is now embedded across the business, with all hardware sales now linked to a recurring revenue component.
-
Revenue performance for the quarter: increased by $0.7m to $5.0m in 4QFY25 , up 15% from $4.3m in 4QFY24. The increase was primarily driven by uplift in activity within the MVNO segment.
-
Positive Net Cash Generation from Operating Activities Before Inventory Growth: Operating cash flow before inventory and inventory related investments was $2.9m in 4QFY25, an improvement of $1.8m compared to $1.1m in 4QFY24 , reflecting the
-
strengthening of the company’s underlying ability to generate cash from core operations.
-
Strong increase in Inventory and service enabling purchases due to international
expansion: Inventory-related payments were $3.3m in 4QFY25, up $3.0m from $0.3m in 4QFY24. The increase was driven by inventory purchases to support our international expansion, strategic procurement of end-of-life components ahead of our next hardware launch, and service enabling costs.
1 Comparatives for 4QFY24 have been adjusted to align with FY24 audited financial statements.
-
Continued Operating Payments Reduction: Payments excluding inventory were $2.5m in 4QFY25, a 7% reduction from $2.7m in 4QFY24. This reflects the continued cost discipline and benefits from rightsizing initiatives across the business, achieved alongside a 16% increase in operating revenue — demonstrating improved operating leverage.
-
Improved Revenue Quality: Recurring revenue for the quarter reached $3.3m, representing 66% of total revenue , up from 55% in 4QFY24. Recurring revenue grew 37% year-on-year, highlighting the ongoing shift toward higher-quality, predictable revenue streams driven by growth in mobile subscriptions.
-
Capital Raised : Raised $1.3m (before costs) capital to fund stated strategic objectives of expanding internationally, developing next generation hardware and developing a new app.
-
International Expansion: Expanded sales and business development, via a capital-light, ecommerce-first land and expand strategy, across Europe, the UK, Singapore, the USA, Canada, and New Zealand. Each device sale generates a new subscription, setting the foundation for a growing multiplier effect as we prepare to launch a new app, new hardware, and an AI-driven health and wellbeing wearable for seniors .
Spacetalk Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Simon Crowther said:
“I am pleased to update you on Spacetalk’s progress for the April to June 2025 quarter. This period showed the continued strength of our recurring revenue model, disciplined operations, and momentum towards building a global family safety business.
Paid mobile subscribers grew to 44.4k as of 30 June 2025, up 44% year-on-year, highlighting the strong adoption of Spacetalk Mobile. Quarterly revenue increased 15% to $5.0 million, with Annual Recurring Revenue rising 25% to $12.1m compared to the prior year.
To support the execution of our strategic objectives, we raised $1.3m from institutional investors in April 2025. Following the end of the quarter, on 11 July 2025, we secured a further $3m investment from our largest shareholder, Thorney Investment Group, through the issue of new unsecured converting notes. In addition, our secured lender, Pure Asset Management, agreed to convert $1m of existing secured debt into converting notes and has suspended loan repayments until December 2025. These measures provide immediate growth capital and improve our debt profile, signaling strong confidence from both our largest equity holder and lender in Spacetalk’s strategy and long-term outlook.
Our subscription model remains central to our strategy, driving engagement and recurring revenue, and is further supported by the upcoming release of our next-generation app and devices. We continue to expand internationally with disciplined investment, prioritise new product launches, focus on growing our recurring revenue mix, and maintain strong cost
control. The quarter’s performance reflects improving fundamentals and global ambition, and we remain committed to delivering value for shareholders through sustainable growth.”
Recurring revenue
Spacetalk recorded a 44% year-on-year increase in paid mobile subscribers, reaching 44.4k
in 4QFY25, up from 30.9k in 4QFY24. Quarter-on-quarter growth of 4.5% in 4QFY25 further demonstrates consistent momentum. Each new hardware sale drives recurring revenue and deeper engagement within the Spacetalk ecosystem — reinforcing the scalability and strength of our business model. At Quarter end, more than 50% of Spacetalk mobile customers were on annual plans, supporting greater customer longevity and increasing lifetime value across the platform.

-
ARR from Spacetalk Mobile grew by 51% vs PCP to $8.0m (4QFY24: $5.3m), driven by strong subscriber growth. The business continues to prioritise mobile revenue due to its superior unit economics relative to app-only revenue. Mobile subscribers receive app access bundled with their mobile plan, which boosts recurring revenue and improves profitability per customer through higher adoption, retention, and lifetime value.
-
Recuring revenue from the App decreased slightly to $2.2m (4QFY24: $2.4m). While more customers are transitioning to the mobile subscription model, app engagement remains high, with the majority of users now accessing the app as part of their mobile plan rather than through a standalone subscription. This shift supports platform-wide engagement and reinforces the mobile-first strategy.
-
ARR from Schools decreased slightly to $1.9m (4QFY24: $2.0m), in line with expectations as we manage this offering in run-off mode, with state governments progressively insourcing these services.
The focus remains on maximizing recurring revenue and increasing customer lifetime value. Ongoing initiatives, including the development of a new app-Spacetalk 2.0, new features, aim to further enhance the customer experience and support this strategic transition while maintaining high-quality, sustainable growth.

Key movements
-
Revenue grew by 15% year-on-year to $5.0m in 4QFY25 (4QFY24: $4.3m), driven by strong growth in mobile revenue.
-
Device revenue declined by 11% to $1.7m, primarily due to intra-quarter timing of retail sales orders compared to PCP. Importantly, full year device revenue grew to $8.5m in FY25 up 4% from $8.2m in FY24.
-
Spacetalk Mobile revenue grew 58% to $2.1m, driven by customer retention and ongoing expansion in the subscription base. Gross profit increased by a comparable 50% to $1.1m.
-
Apps revenue was stable, up 1% to $0.6m, with gross profit increasing by 4% to $0.5m.
-
Schools revenue grew 24% to $0.6m in 4QFY25 (4QFY24: $0.5m), albeit off a low base. While this reflects near-term growth, the long-term outlook for the Schools segment remains one of managed decline, as state governments progressively insource these services.
Strategic product development continues, with Spacetalk App 2.0 in the pipeline to further integrate and support device, mobile, and software offerings. While the Seniors segment remains nascent, it is a key future focus as new partnerships are activated.
2 FY25 financial figures are unaudited and subject to finalisation.
