Spacetalk Ltd (ASX: SPA)
Quarterly Activities Report, Business Update and Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 March 2026
Active Mobile Subscribers Up 18%, driving 11% Growth in Spacetalk Mobile Recurring Revenue
Operational business reset and platform investment positions
Company to capitalise on Telco opportunities.
Spacetalk Ltd (ASX: SPA) ("Spacetalk" or "the Company") is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 (3QFY26) along with an operational update.
Summary trading update
The quarter marked a deliberate reset for the Company, with management prioritising platform stability, customer experience and operational discipline following the recent platform launch. This period of consolidation is intended to position the business for more sustainable growth as it continues its transition to a software-led, recurring revenue model.
During the quarter, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with TPG Telecom Limited (ASX:TPG), marking a significant step in advancing its Telco partnership strategy. The MOU provides a framework for collaboration on the rollout of the Company's family safety platform, with formal contract negotiations on track for finalisation in 4QFY26. This partnership is expected to deliver future software subscriber growth through improved distribution, new customer acquisition and engagement.
The Company also successfully undertook a $6m capital raise via a two-tranche placement during the quarter, strengthening its balance sheet and providing funding to support ongoing platform development, customer growth initiatives and working capital requirements. Tranche 1 proceeds of $0.9m have been received, with the remaining $5.1m from Tranche 2 subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting scheduled for 20 May 2026. The capital raise positions the Company to execute on its strategic priorities and pursue its growing pipeline of enterprise and Telco opportunities.
During the quarter, the Company significantly increased its investment in the app and platform, with development spend rising by 186% in 3QFY26 to $1.0m (3QFY25: $0.4m). This uplift is a result of investment in enhancing platform functionality, stability and scalability, as well as supporting the ongoing development of features required to capitalise on emerging Telco partnership opportunities.
From a trading perspective, revenue declined by 29% year-on-year to $3.6m in 3QFY26 (3QFY25: $5.0m), primarily due to lower device revenue. This decline was due to both the continued strategic shift away from hardware to focus on the Company's app and software-led model, as well as timing differences around the placing of orders by retailers. While mobile subscription revenue continued to grow, consistent with the Company's focus on recurring revenues, total revenue for the quarter was lower year-on-year (3QFY26: $3.6m vs 3QFY25: $5.0m).
Operating expenditure increased during the quarter, primarily within Customer Support and Technology functions, as the Company undertook remediation initiatives to address short term service disruptions experienced following the platform launch. These costs incurred were focused on improving platform stability, enhancing customer experience, and resolving elevated customer support ticket volumes. The improved stability of the platform will lead operating costs to reduce to levels prior to the new app launch in 4QFY26.
The Company has undertaken a broad review of its cost base to better align the business with its software-led strategy and the opportunities presented by its growing pipeline of Telco partnerships. This has resulted in identified optimisation initiatives expected to deliver annualised cash cost savings of approximately $3.5m.
The Company continues to build a growing pipeline of Telco partnership opportunities, with multiple counterparties at various stages of engagement. These opportunities, together with the progress made with TPG Telecom Limited, are expected to underpin future growth in subscribers and ARR over the medium term.
The Company remains focused on its long-term strategy, with its software-led platform and Telco partnership model, together with a growing pipeline of Telco opportunities, supporting scalable growth and underpinning its reaffirmed CY2026 ARR guidance of $20–$25m.
Financial Highlights:
- Global Active Mobile Subscribers Growth: Active subscribers for Spacetalk Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) increased to 57.9k in 3QFY26, up from 49.1k in 3QFY25, representing a 18% year-on-year growth. This continued expansion of the active subscriber base is directly enhancing the quality of the Company's revenue, with mobile subscriptions providing a higher proportion of recurring revenue.

-
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) Performance: ARR declined by 6% year-on-year to $10.9m in 3QFY26 (3QFY25: $11.6m), primarily driven by a 50% reduction in the legacy Schools revenue, in line with the ongoing strategic wind-down of the Schools business. Notably, Spacetalk Mobile ARR maintained its strong growth trajectory, with an increase of 11% from 7.5m to 8.3m.
-
Revenue performance for the quarter: Revenue for 3QFY26 was $3.6m, a decrease of $1.4m compared to $5.0m in 3QFY25. Importantly, underlying consumer demand continued to grow, with sell-out from retail inventory increasing by 3% year-on-year, demonstrating continued customer demand. The reduction in revenue was primarily attributable to lower device revenue, which comprises sell-in to retail partners and direct to consumer eCommerce sales. The reduction reflects lower sell-in volumes as a result of reduced channel replenishment during the quarter compared to prior comparative period. The Company is actively working with its wholesale partners to better align order levels with underlying sell-out trends, supporting more consistent revenue and inventory management over time.
-
Operating Payments (Excluding Inventory and service enabling costs): Operating payments (excluding inventory and service enabling costs) remained consistent at $3.7m in 3QFY26, compared with $3.6m in 3QFY25. While the overall spend was stable, the current period included one-off costs associated with remediation activities that were undertaken to address service disruptions experienced following the platform launch. The Company has commenced a cost containment program expected to deliver $3.5m in annualised savings from 4QFY26, supporting a return to business-as-usual operations and execution of the product roadmap.
-
Net Operating Cash Flow (Before Inventory and service enabling costs): Net operating cash flow before inventory and service enabling costs was $1.2m in 3QFY26, compared to $2.4m in 3QFY25. The decrease of $1.2m was primarily driven by a timing difference in the receipt of Research & Development incentive ($500k received in 3QFY25) and remediation activities that were undertaken in 3QFY26 to address service disruptions experienced post platform launch.
-
Scalable Telco SaaS Model: The Company entered in a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with TPG Telecom Limited (ASX: TPG) to collaborate on the potential distribution of Spacetalk’s Family Safety software platform to millions of Vodafone Australia postpaid mobile customers for an initial 12-month period.
The MOU represents a significant milestone in Spacetalk’s strategic transition from a predominantly hardware-led business toward a software-led, device-agnostic platform embedded within telecommunications customer ecosystems.

Spacetalk is progressing discussions with multiple large telecommunications providers across APAC, Europe and North America, leveraging the partnership framework established under the TPG Telecom (Vodafone Australia) MOU. The Company has established a qualified international telco partnership pipeline, with further updates expected during FY26.
Spacetalk Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Simon Crowther said:
"Following the platform launch in the prior period, the March quarter was characterised by a reset in execution priorities, with particular focus on strengthening operational foundations, improving platform performance and aligning the business to capture emerging telecommunications partnership opportunities within a software-led, recurring revenue model.
During the quarter, the Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with TPG Telecom Limited (ASX: TPG) to collaborate on distribution of the Company's family safety platform across Vodafone Australia's postpaid customer base, representing an important milestone in executing the Company's Telco-led growth strategy. Commercial negotiations with TPG remain on track, with contract finalisation expected in 4QFY26.
The Company also successfully undertook a $6 million capital raise, strengthening the balance sheet and supporting ongoing platform development, customer growth initiatives and execution of its expanding partnership pipeline.
The Company continues to advance a growing global pipeline of telecommunications partnerships across APAC, Europe and North America, positioning the business to scale through capital-efficient distribution channels."

Recurring revenue
Spacetalk achieved a 18% year-on-year increase in active mobile subscribers, reaching 57.9k in 3QFY26, up from 49.1k in 3QFY25. At quarter-end, 56% of Spacetalk Mobile customers were on annual plans, supporting stronger customer retention and enhancing lifetime value across the platform.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) decreased by 6% year-on-year to $10.9m (3QFY25: $11.6m). The decline was primarily driven by a 50% reduction in Schools revenue, in line with the continued strategic wind-down of the Schools business. Spacetalk Mobile ARR continued to demonstrate growth, increasing 11% year-on-year to $8.3m (3QFY25: $7.5m), supported by ongoing expansion of the mobile subscriber base.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) Growth
- ARR from Spacetalk Mobile increased by 11% year-on-year to $8.3m (3QFY25: $7.5m), driven by continued growth in the subscriber base. The Company remains focused on scaling mobile revenue given its superior unit economics relative to app-only offerings. Bundling app access within mobile plans supports stronger customer adoption, retention and lifetime value, while enabling multiple recurring revenue streams per family and improving overall recurring revenue quality and per-customer profitability.
- ARR from the App decreased 28% year-on-year to $1.8m (3QFY25: $2.5m), reflecting continued migration of customers to the mobile subscription model. Looking ahead, the launch of the Company's enhanced safety platform, together with Telco partnerships similar to that with TPG Telecom Limited (subject to finalization of contract negotiations and implementation), is expected to drive user and subscriber growth through improved customer acquisition, engagement and retention, supporting ARR growth over time.
- ARR from Schools declined by $0.8m to $0.8m (3QFY25: $1.6m), consistent with expectations, as the business continues to manage this offering in run-off mode while state governments progressively provide one-stop-shop student management and messaging services.

Key movements
- Revenue declined by 29% year-on-year to $3.6m in 3QFY26 (3QFY25: $5.0m), primarily due to lower device sales. The decline was primarily attributable to lower device revenue. Retail device sell-out remained broadly consistent with the prior quarter, indicating stable underlying consumer demand, while reduced retailer sell-in reflected channel partners working through existing inventory levels.
- Device revenue decreased 55% year-on-year to $1.0m in 3QFY26 (3QFY25: $2.2m), primarily due to timing impacts as retail partners continued to reduce existing inventory levels, resulting in lower reorder activity during the quarter. Underlying consumer demand remained resilient, with retail sell-out increasing 3% year-on-year, despite reduced channel replenishment during the period.
- Spacetalk Mobile revenue increased by 9% year-on-year to $2.0m in 3QFY26 (3QFY25: $1.9m), driven by continued growth in the subscription base. The Company remains focused on scaling mobile revenue given its superior unit economics relative to app-only offerings.
- Apps revenue declined by 43% year-on-year to $355k in 3QFY26 (3QFY25: $619k), primarily reflecting customer migration to Spacetalk Mobile subscriptions, which bundle app access within the plan.
- Schools revenue declined by 44% year-on-year to $171k in 3QFY26 (3QFY25: $306k), in line with expectations, as the business continues to manage this offering in run-off mode while state governments progressively insource these services.
Cashflow from Operating & Investing Activities
- Operating Cash Flow: Net cash generated from operating activities was positive $0.6m in 3QFY26, compared to a net cash outflow of $0.8m in 3QFY25. The improvement was driven by lower working capital requirements as a result of lower investments in inventory in response to timing in retailer order patterns.
- Investing activities increased to $1.1m in 3QFY26 (3QFY25: $0.4m), reflecting continued investment in strategic growth initiatives, primarily associated with the launch of the new platform during the quarter.
Financing Activities:
- After the quarter end, the Company successfully raised $6.0m from institutional and professional investors via a two-tranche placement of fully paid ordinary shares ("Placement"). Tranche 1 shares of 15,694,712 (~$942k) have since been issued, while Tranche 2 shares of 84,535,288 shares (~$5,072k) will be issued subject to a general meeting of shareholders which has been scheduled for the 20th of May 2026.
Related Party Payments
Payments to related parties and their associates during the quarter amounted to $147k, and this related to aggregate remuneration paid to all Directors of the company for the period.
