Announcement summary
TradeWindow Investor Update - Quarter 4 FY26
Financial Highlights
• Trading Revenue: NZ$9.6 million, up 20% on FY25 — within revised guidance.
• Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): NZ$10.1 million, up 17% on FY25 — crossing NZ$10 million for the first time.
• Organic Revenue CAGR: 25% since FY23; revenue growth unbroken since NZX listing in November 2021.
• Gross Margin (Q4): 63%, up 3 percentage points on Q3 FY26, reflecting cloud migration of on-premise TW Freight customers nearing completion.
Customer & Revenue Quality
• Shipper ARPC: NZ$30,352 p.a., up 22% on FY25. Only 2% of the uplift came from price increases; the remainder reflects higher usage among mid-market and enterprise customers.
• Freight Forwarder ARPC: NZ$13,904 p.a., up 27%, driven by a focus on mid-market operators and re-contracting onto refreshed pricing plans.
• Customer Retention Rate: 89%, up 2 percentage points on the prior period.
• Customer Count: 547, down 7 on FY25 — reflecting deliberate rationalisation of lower-value legacy accounts, consistent with the strategy of prioritising ARPC growth and customer quality over volume.
Product Development
• Development status: On track. Capitalised R&D expenditure for Freight.AI reached NZ$661 thousand as at 31 March 2026, up 47% quarter-on-quarter.
• Approach: AI is being embedded across trade workflows, not as a standalone feature, covering document ingestion, job creation, customs preparation and exception handling.
• Commercial rationale: Higher transaction volumes per customer, a pathway to usage-based pricing, and deeper workflow integration that increases platform switching costs.
• Rollout: Progressive AI-enabled workflow release from September 2027.
Strategic Priorities for FY27
• Australia: Accelerate growth — identified as the largest near-term market opportunity.
• ARPC: Continue driving revenue-per-customer improvement through product adoption and upsell.
• Freight.AI: Progress development as the primary long-term growth pathway.
• Annual Results & FY27 Guidance: Scheduled for 30 May 2026. Webinar details to follow.
