Operational Overview – Executing for Growth
During the quarter, the Company transitioned from a predominantly product-led phase into a sales and marketing-led
execution model, with core product foundations now established.
This shift positions the business to accelerate customer adoption, scale recurring revenue, and more effectively convert
both existing and new market opportunities.
Operational performance remained strong, supported by stable platforms, disciplined cost management and improved
internal systems. The business is now operating with increased execution speed, enabling faster delivery across
onboarding, customer activation and revenue-generating initiatives. This is evidenced by 5 new Carpet Court stores
progressing through onboarding, a ~23% increase in Swift Statement usage and ~90% upgrade rate to Spenda Pay from
the initial cohort and increasing customer activation across partner channels.
The Company continued to progress its cost rationalisation program, delivering approximately $4.5 million per annum
in savings, reducing the cost base while improving operational efficiency.
At the same time, internal systems and automation have continued to evolve, including the use of AI and CRM-led
infrastructure to support faster onboarding, improved customer engagement and more scalable marketing execution.
With core product development largely complete, the Company is now focused on execution — driving adoption,
conversion and recurring revenue growth.
Core Products Driving Growth
Spenda’s three core products are now live, in market and scaling; each aligned to a clear customer channel and
revenue stream.
• Spenda Pay: An accounts payable and payments platform, now launched and scaling through partners, driving
early SaaS and payments revenue through partner channels.
• Spenda Retail: Workflow and payments platform for SMEs, progressing national rollout across Carpet Court with
recurring SaaS and transaction-based revenue.
• Spenda Ledger: Embedded payments infrastructure for platforms and marketplaces, expanding payment
volumes through existing and new use cases. Key partner: APG Pay.
Spenda Pay Update
During the quarter, Spenda successfully launched Spenda Pay, a unified accounts payable platform integrating invoice
management, payments, automation, cashflow flexibility and rewards.
The initial rollout has focused on upgrading existing Capricorn Swift Statement customers, providing a controlled and
high-probability pathway to early revenue generation.
• ~90% of initial customers elected to upgrade
• ~30% have onboarded and commenced transacting
This level of adoption provides strong validation of both the product proposition and the effectiveness of leveraging
existing partner ecosystems as a scalable growth channel.
The Company is now progressing beyond initial validation into broader rollout across partner ecosystems, with a focus
on:
• increasing onboarding velocity
• driving transaction activity
• converting adoption into recurring SaaS and payments revenue
Marketing is now actively supporting this phase through structured communications, targeted campaigns and
conversion-focused assets, while CRM-driven workflows are improving onboarding and follow-up.
Spenda Retail - Carpet Court – Live National Rollout
The national rollout of Spenda Retail across Carpet Court is now underway, following the successful go-live of the initial
cohort of stores.
Spenda Retail represents a recurring SaaS and transaction-based revenue model, supported by embedded workflows
and infrastructure that drive strong retention and long customer lifecycles.
Rollout is being actively driven in partnership with the Carpet Court Head Office team, with staged implementations
planned through CY2026.
Current momentum includes:
• 5 stores in onboarding
• Approximately 30 stores in active discussion
• A growing pipeline of additional stores preparing to onboard
Spenda will attend the upcoming bi-annual Carpet Court conference to accelerate engagement across the network,
with marketing strategy actively supporting rollout through targeted campaigns, onboarding content and conversion-
focused assets aligned to the rollout cadence.
A dedicated Sales Manager is working closely with the marketing team to expedite onboarding, convert pipeline
opportunities and leverage both inbound and outbound opportunities beyond the conference to support continued
network expansion.
Spenda Ledger: APG Pay Partnership
The technology platform was launched earlier this year, providing a payment solution to corporate travel customers
across Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore. During Q3 FY26, the APG Pay platform processed payment
volumes of $54 million, demonstrating further increased utilisation within the corporate travel vertical.
Spenda and APG Pay Pty Ltd (“APG”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-based APG Tech Pte Ltd, continue positive
discussions in relation to their commercial relationship.
CY2026 Execution and Growth Priorities
With core product foundations now established and revenue already being generated across key partner channels, the
Company is focused on scaling adoption across existing ecosystems and expanding into the broader market.
Execution is centered on:
• accelerating Spenda Pay adoption through partner supported channels.
• progressing the national rollout of Spenda Retail across Carpet Court.
• converting active pipeline into contracted and revenue-generating customers.
• scaling CRM-led workflows, marketing automation and onboarding infrastructure to support broader market
acquisition.
Expanding into the Broader Market
In parallel, the Company is building a more scalable and repeatable go-to-market model to support expansion beyond
existing partner ecosystems.
Execution is focused on:
• deploying conversion-led website and landing page architecture.
• activating SEO / GEO and paid media targeting high-intent users.
• executing inbound and outbound sales activity in market.
• embedding CRM-led workflows, marketing automation and onboarding systems to support sales.
• supporting customer sales acquisition through AI-enabled onboarding and engagement.
Diversifying Revenue and Growth Channels
Through scaling existing partners and expanding into the broader market, the Company is diversifying both its
customer base and revenue streams.
This approach supports:
• increased recurring SaaS and transaction-based revenue.
• reduced reliance on individual partner channels.
• a more predictable and repeatable growth model.
The Company is now operating with sales, marketing and technology infrastructure aligned to drive continued
adoption, conversion and scalable revenue growth.
Payment Volumes: Total PV in Q3 FY26 of $212m, up 82% on prior comparable period (Q3 FY25 - $117m).
Financial position: Cash receipts from customers for the quarter were $2.4m, down 13% from Q2.
The Company had a cash and cash equivalents position of $2.2m as of 31 March 2026.
Corporate

• Irshad Mulla: was appointed as Independent Non-Executive Director, strengthening governance and strategic
capability.
• James Matthews: transitioned into an executive role as Chief Marketing Officer (outsourced position), focusing
on revenue growth, marketing execution and sales expansion.
• Subhan Asif: was appointed to lead sales execution and pipeline development.
These changes strengthen alignment across product, sales and marketing, supporting improved execution and growth
outcomes. See ASX Announcement dated 23/02/2026
