The Group reported a net loss of $1.275 million for the six months ended 30 September 2025, a significant improvement from the $5.328 million loss recorded in the prior corresponding period. This reduction primarily reflects the absence of large non-cash charges seen in 2024, coupled with lower operating and finance costs.
Revenue declined by $3.474 million (15%), reflecting softer trading conditions; however, gross margins remained broadly stable at 66.4% (2024: 67.2%). Cost of sales decreased $1.001 million to $6.465 million, consistent with the reduced revenue base.
Operating expenses reduced materially, down $5.365 million, driven by:
-
The absence of impairment losses in 2025 (a $2.231 million decrease), as the prior year included the full impairment of IDEST;
-
Lower general and administrative costs, decreasing $1.86 million to $4.31 million due to ongoing cost management; and
-
Reduced selling and distribution expenses, which fell $1.139 million to $5.984 million, reflecting improved efficiency and tighter discretionary spending controls.

Non-cash items that materially impacted the 2024 result were not repeated in 2025. In particular, there were no acquisition-related fair value adjustments or unrealised foreign exchange losses of the magnitude experienced in the prior year.
Overall, the improved result reflects targeted cost initiatives and efficiency gains achieved through increased automation and workflow optimisation, together with the absence of major non-cash charges and a more stable currency environment. These factors collectively led to a significant narrowing of the interim loss.
Net tangible assets per share was NZ$0.20 per share at 30 September 2025 (31 March 2025: NZ$0.22 per share; 30 September 2024: NZ$0.18 per share). The Group’s right of use assets is included in net tangible assets.
No entities were gained or lost during the period.
The Group has not equity accounted for associates and joint venture entities.
