Aura Consolidated Group (ASX:AXQ) lifted exit annual Recurring Revenue by 25% to about US$357.4 million in the September 2026 quarter, its first full quarter since completing the Acquisition of Qoria. The figures, included in its quarterly cash flow report released on 30 October 2026, came ahead of full Q3 results scheduled for 12 November.

The Boston-based company describes itself as an online safety and wellbeing provider. Its AI-powered platform protects individuals, families and enterprises from identity theft, financial Fraud and online threats, while tools for schools and parents address cyberbullying and harmful content.

Underlying Cash Flow Turns Positive

Customer receipts totalled US$89.4 million for the quarter. The reported net operating cash outflow was US$9.7 million, but underlying free cash flow was positive at US$3.3 million, an improvement of US$5.6 million on a year earlier, and reached US$4.6 million from completion to quarter end.

Cash fell to US$51.7 million from US$87.8 million after investing outflows of US$52.3 million, partly offset by US$26.1 million in net financing inflows that included US$30.0 million of Equity proceeds. Aura had drawn US$23.4 million of a US$100 million revolving facility, leaving total liquidity, including undrawn facilities, of US$128.3 million. Closing net debt was US$2.6 million, an improvement of US$7.3 million since completion.

Integrating Qoria

Aura implemented its scheme of arrangement with Qoria, formerly an ASX-listed student safety business, on 17 July 2026, alongside a US$100 million Capital raise. Unrestricted trading under the AXQ code began on 20 July. Management is following a multi-quarter integration roadmap and has targeted full product integration by Q2 2027.

Spending since completion has run below the Scheme Booklet estimates, including US$16.9 million on sales and Marketing against an estimate of US$42.4 million, a gap the company mainly attributes to timing. In the June quarter, revenue had grown 27% on a pro forma basis to US$85.1 million and the adjusted EBITDA loss had narrowed 51% to US$12.6 million, helped by a US$55 million cost-out programme.

US Registration Keeps a Lock-Up in Place

In August 2026 Aura filed an S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A lock-up covering 49,133,118 shares and CDIs ends only when that statement is declared effective. The company had expected this on 22 September, but advised on 18 September that it would not occur on that date and that the holding lock would remain until a further update.

Outlook Centres on Guidance and the November Call

Management has reaffirmed its calendar 2026 outlook for ARR growth of 20% or more and positive free cash flow from transaction close to year-end. Full Q3 2026 results are due before the ASX opens on 12 November, followed by an Earnings webcast at 10:30 AM AEDT.

Shares were priced at A$3.32 on 2 November 2026, down 1.19% on the day, giving a Market Capitalisation of about A$800.49 million.
