Quarterly Activity Report - Q2 FY26

Thursday, 29 January 2026

Strong Momentum and Strategic Investments Position Wrkr for Future Growth

Wrkr Ltd (ASX: WKR, Wrkr or Company) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C and Quarterly Activity Report for the quarter ended 31 December 2025. This quarter marks a pivotal transition from development to active deployment, with the Company successfully achieving live status for Rest Pay and early production testing for AustralianSuper, the two largest branded instances of the Wrkr platform. The team has collaborated with our strategic partners to accelerate implementation timelines, positioning the Company for significant scale ahead of the Payday Super legislative changes in July 2026.

Q2 FY26 Financial Highlights

==> picture [499 x 203] intentionally omitted <==

Operating Cash Flows aligned with Capital Raise initiatives and Contract Delivery Requirements

Cash receipts of $3.2 million during the quarter were predominantly driven by:

  • Completion of specific feature developments under the MUFG Australian and Hong Kong agreements, along with monthly support & maintenance fees for the Hong Kong platform;

  • ● Ongoing feature development of the Beam Platform for Precision Administration Services; ● Consistent recurring revenues from Wrkr PAY transactional activity.

Cash receipts were $792k lower than the previous quarter (Q1: $4.0m). This variance reflects the timing of customer payments, with $854k of invoices overdue as at 31 December 2025. These invoices have been subsequently collected as of the date of this report.

Payments for operating expenses increased from $3.4 million in Q1 FY26 to $3.8 million in Q2 FY26 , reflecting additional investment in:

  • Funding the costs associated with the acquisition of PaidRight;

  • Resources to continue to support growth and delivery capability;

  • Marketing strategy, tools, and materials in preparation for the go-live 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.

Continued Strategic Capital Investment

Wrkr continued to invest in its platform to enhance scalability and operational readiness ahead of significant client onboarding milestones, including expanding REST employers on the platform and the anticipated AustralianSuper go-live in Q3. An additional $1.8m was invested during the quarter to:

  • Continue feature development of the Wrkr platform in readiness for the migration of ClickSuper customers, providing a solution for small businesses as the SBCH decommissions, and readiness for Payday Super;

  • Investment in Data Migration and Data Management initiatives is pivotal to the success of the Large Funds employer transition plans and enabling real-time analytics, ongoing monitoring and scalability;

  • Continue to advance the API strategy to position Wrkr for opportunities with existing and new Digital Service Providers .

Business Update

Q2 FY26 has been defined by execution speed and delivery. The strategic investments made in the previous quarter are now translating into live products and accelerated implementation schedules.

Market Expansion & Commercial Success:

Rest Pay & AustralianSuper: Major Fund Deployments

  • Rest Pay Live: Rest Pay, the fully branded instance of the Wrkr platform, is officially live and being rolled out across early cohort customers in readiness for the end of February, where Rest will continue to transition their employer customers ahead of Payday Super and market their solution to a wider audience of approximately 300k businesses.

  • AustralianSuper Acceleration: AustralianSuper, MUFG Retirement Solutions and Wrkr have worked to reduce the 9-month implementation to 6 months with an early release in December for live testing ahead of the full production release in February. AustralianSuper have developed strong marketing and customer transition processes, and we collectively expect to conclude our rollout to all employers ahead of Payday Super.

  • Australian Retirement Trust Partnership: Wrkr has been selected to assist Australian Retirement Trust with the readiness of their Employer Online and Beam platforms for Payday Super. Our teams continue to make strong headway and expect to meet all key milestones.

  • Strategic PaidRight Acquisition: Wrkr entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of PaidRight, a leading payroll compliance platform and service company. The transaction resolutions were approved in Wrkr’s General Meeting today on the 29th of January. Subject to completion of the acquisition, expected to be on or around 5th February 2026, it will accelerate Wrkr's Phase 2 growth strategy beyond Super into Pay compliance, combining Wrkr's platform, scale and reach with PaidRight's innovative real-time pay compliance engine. If completion occurs, this acquisition will provide Wrkr with sophisticated technology to make compliance more accurate and effortless across the entire pay cycle.

ATO Small Business Clearing House (SBCH) Campaign

  • Strategic Positioning: Wrkr has finalised the development of a targeted campaign and bundle pricing strategy specifically designed for users of the ATO Small Business Clearing House (SBCH), ahead of its closure in June 2026.

  • Launch: This campaign is set to launch in February, offering a seamless transition path for small businesses requiring a compliant commercial alternative.

Boutique Funds & Pipeline Growth

  • Boutique Funds: Wrkr and MUFG Retirement Solutions have started implementation work for the first two of five Boutique Funds. The remaining funds are expected to commence in Q3 and Q4 FY26.

  • Direct Engagement: The Company continues to engage directly with non-MUFG Funds, Payroll providers, and direct-to-employer markets.

  • ERP Pipeline: There is a strong emerging pipeline across Workday and SAP Business users. These customers are awaiting new API releases scheduled for March, with implementation commencing in Q4 FY26.

Operational Capacity

The Wrkr Team has grown strongly during the quarter. As new team members reach full productivity, we expect our delivery capacity to increase significantly in H2 FY26. This timing is critical as we move out of the holiday season and into the peak transition period for our major fund clients.

CEO Commentary

"As CEO, I am encouraged by our performance and our runway toward the KPIs for the business ahead of Payday Super. The ability of our team to reduce implementation times for a client of AustralianSuper's scale, while simultaneously taking Rest Pay live, validates the maturity of our platform and our people. The next 6 months will require similar focus, and the effort now will underpin long-term value." — Trent Lund, CEO

Other

The cash expenditure on the operating activities of the business in the quarter is summarised as follows:

  • $2,593k Staff costs

  • $1,255k Administration and corporate costs, including costs associated with the acquisition of PaidRight Pty Ltd

  • $3k Finance Costs

  • $75k Advertising and marketing

As required to be disclosed under ASX Listing Rules, payments to related parties in the current quarter amounted to $78k. This amount is shown in Appendix 4C under Section 6. Payments to related parties of the entity and their associates relate to directors’ fees.

Wrkr’s Chief Executive Officer (Trent Lund) and Chief Financial Officer (Karen Gilmour) will share further details in a shareholder presentation post the outcome of the acquisition which is subject to a number of conditions and expected to complete on the 5th of February 2026.
