Spacetalk Ltd (ASX: SPA) (“Spacetalk” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 December 2024 (2QFY25) along with an operational update.

Financial Highlights:

  • Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) Growth: Improved by 16% vs PCP to $11.0m (2QFY24: $9.5m). This sustained growth highlights our focus on building sustainable, high-quality revenue streams across the business.

  • Gross Profit Growth: Gross profit, an underlying proxy of underlying growth in the company increased by 18% vs PCP, reaching $3.2m (2QFY24: $2.7m) , reflecting ongoing focus on higher-margin revenue streams.

  • Net Cash Generated From (Used in) Operating Activities Before Inventory Growth: Was +$1.2m (2QFY24: used in -$0.5m), demonstrating the company's strong ability to generate cash flows from operations before inventory investments.

  • Inventory Payments: Was $2.2m (2QFY24: $1.6m), $0.6m higher compared to PCP, driven by buying inventory to meet demand for the busy Black Friday and Christmas selling period and bulk purchasing of certain components to support the expected growing international demand over the coming months.

  • Operating Payments Reduction: Payments (excluding Inventory Payments) reduced by 25% vs PCP to $3.7m (2QFY24: $5.0m), reflecting the positive impact optimising and right sizing the cost base.

  • Cash Used In Operating Activities: Remained steady at -$1.1m (2QFY24: -$1.1m), reflecting stable cashflow performance supported by disciplined cost management and stable revenue streams.

  • International Expansion: Business development and sales now underway in USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Finland, Australia and New Zealand compared with Australia only PCP. Notably all sales drive new subscriptions.

Spacetalk Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Simon Crowther said:

"I am pleased to report that Spacetalk continues to make strong progress this quarter, with cash flow used in operating activities remaining steady at -$1.1m. Excluding inventory investments, we generated $1.2m in net cash from operating activities, demonstrating the underlying stability of our cash flow generation.

Securing inventory ensured we had sufficient stock for the busy Black Friday and Christmas selling period while reducing supply chain risks and ensuring inventory for planned international expansion. The $600k increase in inventory payments compared to the prior corresponding period (PCP) reflects sensible purchases to meet demand and bulk procurement of components to safeguard against possible supply chain disruptions.

Recurring revenue remains a cornerstone of our business strategy, with Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growing 16% vs PCP to $11.0m. This growth reflects the sustainability of our revenue streams, supported by a 53% year-on-year increase in paid Spacetalk Mobile subscribers to 39.8k. Additionally, we are prioritising app development as a key initiative to drive ARR growth further. The launch of version 1.5 of our app and ongoing development of a new version underscores our commitment to this area, which we expect to drive future growth.

Looking ahead, we are confident that the strong foundation we have established will enable us to deliver sustainable growth. Our focus remains on scaling the business, enhancing customer lifetime value, and executing our strategy to create long-term value for our stakeholders."

  • Revenue from continuing operations increased by 13% vs PCP, reaching $6.3m (2QFY24: $5.5m).

  • Gross profit grew by 18% vs PCP, reaching $3.2m (2QFY24: $2.7m). This reflects our continued focus on higher-margin revenue streams, supported by strong subscription growth and stabilising key segments.

  • Devices revenue decreased by 7% to $3.0m (2QFY24: $3.2m). This decrease reflects the impact of initial retail pipeline fills in the prior year following the launch of the new product line, Loop, as well as the activation of the New Zealand retail market, which boosted 2QFY24 results.

  • Spacetalk Mobile continues its growth trajectory, with revenue increasing by 56% to $1.6m (2QFY24: $1.1m). Gross profit rose by 41%, reaching $0.9m (2QFY24: $0.6m). This growth reflects a strong customer retention combined with ongoing expansion in subscriptions and higher ARPU, reinforcing Spacetalk Mobile as a key driver of our sustainable revenue growth.

  • App revenue declined slightly, in line with expectations, with revenue decreasing by $0.1m to $0.7m (2QFY24: $0.8m) while the user base was maintained. This decline reflects the ongoing strategic shift towards Spacetalk Mobile, where revenue increased by $0.5m, achieving higher revenue and profit per customer.

  • The Spacetalk App is a key focus area, with version 1.5 released this quarter and active development underway for Spacetalk App 2.0 We expect this new version to enhance the customer experience and drive growth in the coming months, further supporting the ecosystem of Spacetalk devices, mobile and software.

  • Seniors business results have been reported separately for the first time, highlighting this segment as a growing focus for the company. Revenue increased by 85% to $48k (2QFY24: $26k), showcasing strong momentum in this emerging market as we activate reseller partnerships.

  • Corporate revenue increased 6,263% to $0.45m (2QFY24: $0.01m), primarily driven by the completion of R&D grant revenue during this period. The cash for this grant was not included in the cash flow for the quarter and is expected to be received in 3QFY25.

Cashflow from Operating & Investing Activities

  • Cashflow used in operating activities remained steady at negative $1.1m (2QFY24: negative $1.1m). This stability reflects disciplined cost management and the ability to offset higher inventory payments with consistent operating cash generation. The result underscores progress in optimising the cost base and maintaining cashflow performance despite seasonal pressures and strategic investments.

  • Investing activities increased to $0.45m (2QFY24: $0.39m), driven by Spacetalk’s focus on strategic growth initiatives, including app development and product innovation.
