What HY26 said to watch
From Subscription mix shift drives 38.9% PBT improvement on 5.6% revenue growth
The company reiterated FY26 guidance of approximately 35% or greater growth in platform subscription revenue and improving EBITDA. The HY26 subscription revenue result of NZ$8.8m (+35% versus HY25) and an exit run rate of approximately NZ$19.4m annualised (+47%) suggest the first half is tracking in line with that guidance on revenue. The FY25 seasonality pattern shows the second half has historically been slightly stronger on revenue, with HY25 representing 48.4% of the FY25 full-year total — so current first-half run rates are consistent with meeting the full-year subscription target.
However, the EBITDA component of guidance is harder to assess. With no EBITDA figure supplied in the current financial statements, and with operating cash outflow widening despite the PBT improvement, the trajectory to EBITDA improvement depends on whether the transaction revenue decline and inventory build are transitional or persistent.
