Quarterly Activity Report - Q3 FY26

Friday, 24 April 2026

Working with our Funds to transition their Employers: Scaling for the Payday Super Era

Wrkr Ltd (ASX: WKR, Wrkr or Company) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C and Quarterly Activity Report for the quarter ended 31 March 2026. This period has been defined by a shift from implementation to large-scale execution, validated by the successful live launches of Rest Pay and AustralianSuper.

As we approach the 1st July 2026 Payday Super deadline, Wrkr is well-positioned. We have transitioned into a phase of onboarding businesses to begin the scaling process across our major fund partners and direct-to-market channels. As anticipated in our capital raise, we have invested heavily this quarter in the talent and infrastructure required to support this growth. These planned costs reflect our commitment to delivering a robust, industry-leading platform for our partners.

The pace of onboarding and revenue-generating transactions will be subject to: the Funds' market activity and confidence to 'push', the ATO's message on their tolerance for delay, and the preparedness of the payroll ecosystem and software to enable efficient adoption. Wrkr will support our Funds' clients by continuing to provide a hypercare program focused on onboarding, bringing on more Funds and platform features, and transitioning to an operational model.

Early Platform Momentum: Key Metrics

The platform is operational and demonstrating strong traction as we approach the legislative deadline. These early indicators validate both the demand for our infrastructure and the scalability of our solution:

  • >50,000 Platform sessions
  • >6,000 Organisations currently onboarding
  • >$100 million in contributions processed and growing daily.

Q3 FY26 Operational Highlights: Proving the Platform at Scale

Our focus on "Execution Excellence" has delivered significant milestones:

  • Major Fund Success: Rest Pay is fully live and scaling, with large employers reporting a smooth transition and reduced friction in contribution processing. AustralianSuper has seen high take-up rates following its production release, with our collaborative 6-month accelerated implementation model proving effective.
  • MUFG's Boutique Funds: Our partnership has reached a new level of maturity. Legal Super, NESS Super, Prime Super, and BUSSQ Super have signed on and are moving

into the "Live Brand" phase, leveraging the repeatable architecture established with our major fund partners.

  • Direct-to-Market Momentum: Our dedicated tenant for small businesses transitioning from the ATO Clearing House is live, with strong engagement from the bookkeeping community following successful webinars with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) and Australian Bookkeepers Network (ABN).
  • Strategic Pipeline: Our integration strategy is accelerating. Reseller agreements for Workday are finalised with a robust pipeline for Q4, and our SAP integration is nearing completion, further automating compliance for large-scale enterprise employers.

Business Outlook: Navigating the Path to Payday Super

Wrkr stands as a key beneficiary of the upcoming legislative shift. Our infrastructure—comprising our Clearing House, Gateway, Branded Employer Portal, and Member onboarding process—is already delivering the solution for Australia's largest funds and early-adopting payroll providers.

Balancing Short-Term Dynamics and Long-Term Strength. We are currently working hand-in-hand with our major fund partners to drive employer adoption ahead of 1 July 2026. While iconic businesses and large employers are moving decisively to ensure readiness, we anticipate a more phased adoption curve for the mid-market and small-business segments, many of whom are reliant on the timing of their payroll system upgrades.

Consequently, while we expect a scale-up in transaction-based revenue between now and December 2026, the transition for employers may extend beyond the immediate July deadline. We view this as a natural phasing of the legislative rollout; our platform is fully prepared to capture this volume as these segments transition, providing a clear runway for growth into FY27.

CEO Commentary

"This quarter was about proving Wrkr can deliver. Seeing large employers transition to Rest Pay and AustralianSuper is a powerful validation of our technology and our capacity to execute," said Trent Lund, CEO. "We are proactively collaborating with our clients to accelerate adoption. We recognise that, while large enterprises are leading the charge, the mid-market and small-business segments are working through their own transition timelines. We are ready for them, and we remain laser-focused on scaling our transaction revenue as these businesses onboard onto our infrastructure."

Q3 FY26 Financial Snapshot

  • Cash Receipts: $4.3 million, driven by recurring Wrkr PAY transactional activity, feature development for Precision Administration, and integration of PaidRight revenue.
  • Operating Outflows: $6.4 million, reflecting strategic investment in 14 new FTEs to bolster delivery and operational support, the acquisition of PaidRight, and increased investment in marketing our direct-to-market clearinghouse.
  • Strategic Capital Investment: $2.1 million invested to ensure platform scalability, data migration, and continued API development to capture potential opportunities with new Digital Service Providers.

Q3 FY26 Financial Highlights

img-0.jpeg

The acquisition of PaidRight Pty Ltd (PaidRight) was completed on 5 February 2026. The cash balance of PaidRight at the time of acquisition was $1.17m.

Operating Cash Flows aligned with Contract Delivery Requirements and Investment in Post-Delivery Operations

Cash receipts of $4.3 million during the quarter were predominantly driven by:

  • Consistent recurring revenues from Wrkr PAY transactional activity;
  • Ongoing feature development of the Beam Platform for Precision Administration Services;
  • $0.7m from PaidRight customer invoice payments post acquisition date;
  • $0.8m for payment of the invoices overdue at 31 December 2025.

Payments for operating expenses increased from $3.8 million in Q2 FY26 to $6.4 million in Q3 FY26, reflecting:

  • $0.9m operating cash outflows relating to PaidRight;
  • $0.8m increase in salaries as an additional 14 full-time employees and 2 casuals were employed in the quarter to continue to support growth and delivery capability, and invest in the team providing the operational support of the Wrkr platform as volumes increase;
  • $0.2m legal and due diligence costs associated with the acquisition of PaidRight;
  • Increased investment in marketing of Wrkr’s direct-to-market digital onboarding and clearinghouse service, initially targeting current users of the ATO Small Business Clearing House (SBCH) as it decommissions.
  • Increase in security, infrastructure and software subscription costs as the business scales;
  • Sydney office relocation costs to accommodate Wrkr’s growing business.

  • Continue feature development of the Wrkr platform in preparation for the AustralianSuper go-live that occurred in late March;
  • Additional development of the platform in readiness for the migration of ClickSuper customers, the launch of the solution for small businesses, and readiness for Payday Super.
  • Continued Data Migration and Data Management initiatives to support the Funds' employer transition plans and enable real-time analytics, ongoing monitoring and scalability.
  • Continue to advance the API strategy to position Wrkr for potential opportunities with existing and new Digital Service Providers.
