Financial Performance

The expected 7 ppt reduction in gross margin is attributable to the shift in our product mix in the prior quarter, directly influenced by the Alpha Digital acquisition.
Capital Management and Cash Flow
XPON’s cash balance stood at $2.7 million as of 30 June 2025, a decrease of $1.2 million from the previous quarter. This change primarily reflects a $1.7m reduction in accounts payable, which aligns with our previous communications to the market. The Company is actively managing its capital to ensure financial stability and support future growth initiatives.
XPON reported net cash outflows from operating activities for Q4 FY25 of $2.2 million.
- Net customer receipts for Q4 FY25 were $0.8 million, remaining stable compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the $1.7 million reduction in the aged accounts payable
XPON Technologies Group Ltd. ACN 635 810 258. Suite 02-115/310 Edward St, Brisbane City QLD 4000
balance. The customer receipts figure is expected to rise significantly next quarter as the company's payment terms with suppliers and customers becomes more aligned.
-
Payments to suppliers, employees and others were $2.9 million for Q4 FY25, slightly up 7% YoY. This increase reflects additional expenses from the Alpha Digital acquisition, partially offset by positive impacts from the ongoing cost reduction measures.
-
Further annualised cost reductions of $560k were implemented in early July 2025 to align the company’s staffing with its vertical go to market strategy and increasing focus on Wondaris as our key marketing offering.
As detailed in item 6.1 of the Appendix 4C, payments to related parties and their associates during the quarter totalled $114k comprising CEO salary, employee associate of CEO and motor vehicle leasing and operating costs for the CEO.
