Latest Developments: FY26 Results

ARR Growth Amid Revenue Decline

AI-Media reported a 50% increase in Annual Recurring Revenue to $36.0 million in FY26, achieved at an 85% gross margin and in line with guidance. SaaS revenue rose 42% to $34.1 million, while Technology revenue increased 9% to $44.8 million, now representing 74% of Group revenue. Despite this, total Group revenue declined 7% to $60.2 million, reflecting a planned reduction in legacy Services revenue and lower Hardware revenue. Group gross margin improved 4 percentage points to 73%.

Platform Investment and FY27 Priorities

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million for the full year, moving from a $0.4 million loss in 1H26 to $2.5 million in 2H26, while statutory full-year EBITDA was a loss of $0.3 million. The company ended the period with $15.9 million in cash and no external debt, having retained all of its top 20 customers for a fifth consecutive year. AI-Media outlined four FY27 commercial priorities, including scaling LEXI Text and translation and commercialising LEXI Voice.

Catalysts on Investors' Watch

  • Continued 50% growth trajectory in Annual Recurring Revenue, achieved at an 85% gross margin.
  • Commercialisation of LEXI Voice, converting early deployments into recurring revenue.
  • A debt-free Balance Sheet with $15.9 million in cash to fund product investment.
  • FY27 ARR guidance expected to be provided at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 30 September 2026.

Risks to Watch

  • Total Group revenue declined 7% in FY26, reflecting the planned wind-down of legacy Services and Hardware revenue.
  • Statutory full-year EBITDA remained a loss of $0.3 million.
  • Increased investment in newer products remains dependent on demonstrated customer adoption and commercial economics.
  • The technology sector in which AI-Media operates is subject to rapid change in AI model capability and competition.

Conclusion

AI-Media's share price on 11 September 2026 was unchanged on the day but remains sharply lower than a year ago, a period in which the company grew recurring revenue while total revenue declined during its planned transition. The daily price movement and the FY26 results are separate developments, with the company's near-term profitability trend showing improvement into the second half of FY26.
