Management Commentary

 

“Our results through the first nine months of fiscal 2026 reflect continued progress against the plan we put in place last year to grow revenue, improve margins and move toward profitability,” said Gavin Burnett, Chief Executive Officer of Locafy. “In addition to launching effective local SEO and AEO solutions into the market, we have made significant progress toward the release of Poseidon, our flagship AEO SaaS platform, which remains on track to launch in July 2026.

 

“The search landscape is rapidly evolving, with AI increasingly shaping how consumers discover and engage with businesses online. With Poseidon, we believe we have built a platform that will help businesses cost-effectively improve their visibility across traditional search engines, AI-driven search experiences and other digital discovery channels.

 

“As we look ahead, we believe Poseidon can become a central platform for marketing agencies and small business owners to manage key digital marketing functions, including local search, online advertising, review management and PR distribution, all from a single platform.”

 

Fiscal Nine-Month 2026 Financial Highlights

 

Results compare the fiscal nine-month ended results (March 31, 2026) to the same period in 2025 (March 31, 2025) unless otherwise indicated. All financial results are reported in Australian Dollars (AUD).

 

Total operating revenue was $3.1 million, compared to $2.4 million in the same year-ago period. Total operating revenue for the respective period was comprised of:

 

Subscription revenue was $3.0 million, compared to $2.2 million in the same year-ago period. This increase was mainly due to the launch of our Localizer product.

 

 

 

 

Advertising revenue was $78,000, compared to $117,000 in the same year-ago period.

 

Services revenue was $58,000, compared to $47,000 in the same year-ago period.

 

Other income was $38,000, compared to $257,000 in the same year-ago period. This variance is attributed to the Company’s assessment of the extent and likelihood of its ability to claim a Research & Development tax incentive in Australia for non-capitalized expenditure.

 

Total operating expenses were $5.2 million, compared to $5.9 million in the same year-ago period. Localizer sales were particularly strong through our Partner sales channel, leading to higher Partner commissions reflected in marketing expenses. Overall, marketing expenses increased to $504,000 compared to $91,000 in the year ago period. Share based payments expenses decreased by 80.4% to $278,000 (2025: $1.4 million) largely due to the expenses in the same year-ago period being non-recurring.

 

Net loss totaled $2.2 million, or $1.16 per share, compared to net loss of $3.5 million, or $2.19 per share, in the comparable year-ago period.

 

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

 

Unless otherwise stated, KPI data is as of the 2026 fiscal third quarter ended (March 31, 2026).

 

Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) for the 2026 fiscal third quarter was $399,000 per month, up 9.2% from 2026 fiscal second quarter and up 53.0% from the comparable year ago period.
