Quarterly Activity Report - Q1 FY26
Thursday, 30 October 2025
Strong Momentum and Strategic Investments Position Wrkr for Future Growth
Wrkr Ltd (ASX: WKR, Wrkr or Company) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C and Quarterly
Activity Report for the quarter ended 30 September 2025. The quarter has seen the Wrkr team
accelerate our platform and customer-specific requirements built in readiness for Rest Super and
Australian Super to go live well ahead of the expected Payday Super start date. In addition, the
team continues to negotiate with other MUFG Administered Funds as well as direct funds and
Payrolls to prepare and make final commercial decisions. The progress of the Payday Super draft
legislation has been a catalyst for activity.
Q1 FY26 Financial Highlights
Third Consecutive Quarter of Positive Operating Cash Flow
Q1 FY26 +$616k (vs. -$57k Q1 FY25)
Wrkr has delivered three consecutive quarters of positive operating cash flow, reflecting
continued operational strength and disciplined execution.
Cash receipts of $4 million during the quarter were primarily driven by:
● Achievement of additional implementation milestones and fund-specific feature
development under the MUFG agreements;
● Collection of $0.4 million in overdue invoices from the prior quarter;
● Annual licence renewal from Wrkr’s largest Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) customer;
● Consistent recurring revenues from Wrkr PAY transactional activity.

Operating expenses increased from $2.8 million in Q4 FY25 to $3.4 million in Q1 FY26,
reflecting continued investment in security, compliance, and resourcing to support growth
ambitions and delivery capability.
$15m Capital Raise successfully completed (August 2025)
Wrkr successfully completed a $15 million capital raise in August 2025. With a strong cash balance
of $18.75 million as at 30 September 2025, the company is well positioned to:
● Invest in strategic growth initiatives to expand its user base;
● Fund integration costs associated with a potential bolt-on acquisition that delivers
value-accretive compliance capabilities—or alternatively, accelerate internal development of
these capabilities;
● Enhance Wrkr’s solution, sales, and support infrastructure to service current users of the
ATO Small Business Clearing House (SBCH) as it is decommissioned.
Continued Strategic Capital Investment
Wrkr continued to invest in its platform to ensure operational scalability and readiness ahead of
major client onboarding, including REST and AustralianSuper expected to commence in Q2 and
Q3 respectively. Additional investment of $1.27m was made in the quarter to:
● Strengthen in-platform fraud mitigation measures;
● Advance the API strategy to position Wrkr for new opportunities with Digital Service
Providers;
● Develop a small business clearing house solution to capture market share following the
closure of the ATO’s Small Business Clearing House on 1 July 2026.
*Based on unaudited figures. Excludes interest, depreciation & amortisation, capitalised costs, cost of
employee share schemes, costs relating to changes in share capital, impairment of patents,
convertible notes costs, and the fair value movement of the convertible notes embedded derivative.

FY26 Outlook
Whilst the first quarter of FY2026 has positive operating cashflows, we do not expect this to be
representative of the remaining quarters in FY2026. With the upcoming go-live schedule for REST,
AustralianSuper, the ClickSuper migration, and the launch of a Wrkr - Small Business Clearing
House solution, Wrkr will accelerate expenditure in several key areas:
● Project delivery: Bringing in experienced delivery professionals to manage the complex
tri-party implementation for REST and AustralianSuper alongside MUFG Retirement
Solutions.
● Labour flexibility: Leveraging outsourcing (on-shore) to enhance operational agility,
acknowledging that this will temporarily increase some operating expenditure during the
transition phase.
● Security and site reliability: Expanding in-house capability and engaging trusted partners
to strengthen platform resilience.
● Quality assurance: Engaging third-party specialists in the short term to ensure Wrkr
Platform features are robust under scale.
● Marketing: Partnering with a professional marketing team for six months to drive market
penetration among the ATO Small Business Clearing House users needing to select a
Payday Super provider, as well as employers without adequate PayDay Super solutions
through their existing funds or payroll providers.
These additional expenditures will increase Wrkr’s negative EBITDA in FY26.
Business Update
Q1 FY26 saw Wrkr realise our near-term strategic goals from our substantial technology
investment and dedicated market efforts. We are delighted to report continued progress across our
key strategic pillars of market expansion.
Market Expansion & Commercial Success:
● Rest Super: The progress and enhancements made post the pilot have benefited the
overall platform and Fund experience, and have positioned Rest for the targeted production
release from late November.
● Australian Super: Progress on the platform configuration with on-track delivery of the full
production build expected by February 2026 and production testing earlier. This is a
substantive goal, to bring the Wrkr platform to a significant volume of employers well ahead
of the Payday Super timetable.
● Wrkr branded solution: Our latest version of the Wrkr branded solution is expected to go
live in December, with new features to support the adoption of small businesses seeking
alternatives to the closing of the ATO Small Business Clearing House. The launch of this
version of ‘Wrkr’ will provide comfort to business users seeking Payday Super compliance
from Funds.

● API Team & Integrations: Our dedicated API team has continued to accelerate key
integrations for major enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, including WorkDay and
SAP, with an increased marketing effort to highlight the value of Wrkr and SAP combined.
● Organic growth of our SMSF Hub continues: Australia Post retiring their SMSF ESA and
Rollover service has driven users to Wrkr and enabled an increase our annual subscription
from $39.95 to $49.99 from November 1.
● Marketing & Campaigns: Wrkr has spent significant time building our profile for Payday
Super across a variety of industry events, through direct discovery sessions with Funds and
Payrolls, and in partnership with MUFG Retirement Solutions teams.
