Revenue Performance
Operating revenue rose about 20% quarter-on-quarter to A$3.4 million, driven by equipment demand. Core Beam hardware revenue increased 34.1% to A$2.8 million, and management said demand for handsets and docks is holding firm, although this revenue tends to be lumpy.
Revenue was 62% lower than the prior corresponding period, reflecting the completion of key Iridium equipment contracts and the divestment of Zoleo. Recurring airtime and services revenue fell 3% quarter-on-quarter to A$516,000, while SatPhone Shop hardware revenue fell 43% to A$149,000.
Cash Flow and Capital Management
Beam reported positive operating cash flow of A$160,000, with customer receipts of A$3.62 million. Cash stood at A$2.9 million at 30 September 2026.
During the quarter, the company paid a dividend of A$1.2 million, following a A$12.1 million capital return in the previous quarter. Beam has an undrawn A$500,000 overdraft facility with National Australia Bank.
Outlook
Following the divestment of Zoleo, Beam is focused on stabilising its continuing businesses, Beam Communications and SatPhone Shop, supported by a cost optimisation program.
The company expects positive operating cash flow in FY27, although revenue is projected to be lower than in FY26.
