US COMMENTARY
The US business continued to perform well in Q4 FY25, with US Pay Now revenue (including both ACH and Card) up
20% on pcp to US$ 1.8 million (Q4 FY24: US$ 1.5 million). US Pay Now TTV increased 9% on pcp to US$ 472 million
(Q4 FY24: US$ 432 million).
In the past quarter, the key driver of volume growth and margin expansion in US Pay Now was the Connect
platform. The development, roll-out and scalability of the Connect platform has been a core focus over the past
year, and it is expected that the contribution of Connect will continue to grow over time.
QUICKFEE CONNECT (US only)
QuickFee Connect offers a scalable Accounts Receivable solution that is designed specifically for accounting firms
with a competitive subscription pricing model. It delivers an ecosystem for firms that want to build their own tech
stack with deep functionality.
Connect automatically emails firms’ invoices to their clients with a link to the QuickFee portal to enable all einvoice recipients to pay over time with QuickFee’s Finance product or pay in full via EFT/Card. By delivering up to
100% of firms’ invoices electronically and directing more of firms’ clients to pay online rather than by check,
Connect drives both new subscription revenue streams and increases all products’ TTV.
New subscription revenue streams on Connect platform
In Q4 FY25, the transaction volumes on the Connect platform continued to scale with over 61,000 invoices
delivered, up 65% on the previous quarter and up 408% in the past year.
QuickFee charges clients a subscription fee to access the Connect platform and Annualised Recurring Revenue
(ARR) from Connect subscriptions is now US$ 413,000, with the potential to grow significantly throughout FY26.
QuickFee now has 60 active clients onboarded onto the Connect platform, with a further pipeline of approximately
30 customers which have signed up and are in various stages of onboarding.
In Q4 FY25, QuickFee successfully transitioned the majority of early adopting firms which were initially offered a
free subscription, to paid Connect subscribers. Through this migration process, several firms declined the
opportunity to transition to a paid subscription, resulting in a slight decrease in Connect customer numbers.
Accelerated sales and marketing activities are rapidly expanding the pipeline of prospects, and we anticipate
strong continued growth in Connect subscription ARR over time.

QUICKFEE FINANCE
In Q4 FY25, US Finance (Pay Over Time) revenue was stable at US$ 0.7 million (Q4 FY24: US$ 0.7 million) and US
Finance TTV was down 24% on pcp to US$ 4.8 million (Q4 FY24: US$ 6.3 million).
US Finance TTV was adversely impacted by the termination of new loan originations from one US firm who
defaulted on its repayments, resulting in a one-off provision of US$ 2.2 million (A$ 3.3 million) for credit
impairment in FY25 (see ASX release dated 4 June 2025 for more details).
QUICKFEE FINANCE
The Finance product allows clients to pay over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months while the firm gets paid in full within three
business days at no cost to the firm, usually with no credit approval process for the client. Revenue is generated
from the interest paid by the clients of professional services firms when they take out a payment plan to pay the
fee invoices they receive. The Finance product has revenue yields that are ~25x greater than the Pay Now product.
As revenue is recognised over the life of the loan term (the US weighted average loan term in FY25 was 9.4
months), TTV growth in any quarter will positively impact revenue in both current and future quarters.

Acting President, North America, James Drummond said:
“We are really pleased to see the Connect platform deliver increased e-invoicing volumes, up 65% quarter-on-quarter,
and the establishment of new recurring, high-margin subscription revenues. We are confident in the scalability of this
platform over time, as we continue to onboard new clients and increase transaction volumes on the platform. The
product is delivering significant value to customers as it automates the entire invoicing and payments process for
accounting firms.”
Inbound enquiries for the US business
As previously reported in QuickFee’s mid Q4 FY25 business update on 4 June 2025, the Company has recently
received unsolicited approaches from third parties in relation to the potential acquisition of all or part of
QuickFee’s US business. Initial confidential discussions are being held with such parties however there is no
assurance that these discussions will lead to a sale or any other particular outcome.

AUSTRALIA (AU) COMMENTARY
The Australian business remained strong in Q4 FY25, with AU Finance revenue up 26% on pcp to A$ 2.9 million (Q4
FY24: A$ 2.3 million). This revenue growth was driven by a 5% increase in AU Finance TTV to A$ 17.9 million (Q4
FY24: A$ 17.0 million) and continued revenue yield expansion, with the loan book growing to A$ 47.2 million as at 30
June 2025.

The ‘Q Pay Plan’ BNPL product also continued to grow strongly with Q4 FY25 TTV up 45% to A$ 1.6 million on pcp (Q4
FY24: A$ 1.1 million), bringing total BNPL TTV for FY25 up 76% on pcp to A$ 6.0 million (FY24: A$ 3.4 million). In
response to the recent legislated changes requiring BNPL operators in Australia to hold an Australia Credit Licence
(ACL), QuickFee has submitted an application to ASIC which is still in the process of being formally approved. In the
meantime, ASIC has granted a transitional period to any applicant, which will allow the Company to continue to
offer BNPL products.
BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY
A$ 118 million refinancing completed and funding closed
QuickFee has completed the refinancing of its asset-backed debt facilities, partnering with global alternative
credit asset manager Viola Credit (“Viola”) and funding has been drawn.
The asset-backed receivables financing facility (“Viola Credit Facility”) consists of a three-year A$ 118 million senior
secured revolving credit facility, comprising initial committed amounts of A$ 45 million and US$ 15 million and with
additional optional committed amounts of A$ 25 million and US$15 million, subject to Viola’s approval. The debt is
secured over certain identified loan receivables of QuickFee’s Australian and US business.
The new three-year asset-backed facility has replaced the current US$ 40 million Northleaf Capital Partners and
the A$ 10 million Wingate Corporate Investments facilities.
QuickFee also closed a A$5 million term loan facility agreement (“Fancourt Term Loan”) with a fund of Fancourt
Capital Group (“Fancourt”), a specialist financial services growth investor. While the Company is generating
positive underlying EBTDA, and expects to continue to do so, QuickFee funds approximately 10% of loan
originations from its own cash reserves and the funds raised will be used to fund further loan book growth in both
markets, in order to support the positive momentum in the business.
See separate ASX release dated 4 June 2025 for more details.
Oversubscribed Share Purchase Plan, finalising A$1.532 million capital raise
QuickFee received eligible applications under the SPP totalling A$282,000 and expanded the SPP to that amount to
enable all participants to receive the full amount of their application. Following the completion of the SPP,
together with the proceeds of the share placement earlier in June 2025, QuickFee raised A$1.532 million at 5cps
before transaction costs.
See separate ASX release dated 4 June 2025 for more details.
At 31 March 2025, the Company had A$ 6.9 million unrestricted cash on hand, with borrowing growth capacity of a
further A$ 16.6 million from the new facilities available to fund future loan book growth. The Company’s recent
refinancing of its debt facilities, along with the recently completed $1.532 million capital raise (the last tranche of
which was completed via shareholder approval on 22 July 2025), has substantially increased the Company’s
liquidity and borrowing capacity.

OUTLOOK
Non-executive Chairman Dale Smorgon said:
“We enter FY26 with strong revenue momentum, fast-growing new subscription revenue streams from the Connect
platform and a strengthened balance sheet to fund ongoing growth in our loan book.
Importantly, the business continues to deliver strong growth in accordance with our strategic plan. Our underlying
EBTDA in FY25 was positive, and we are disappointed with the one-off credit impairment related to one US firm,
which prevented us from achieving statutory operating profitability in FY25.
Our business fundamentals remain robust and we are confident that the continued execution of our growth strategies
will result in the profitable growth of our loans books and payments and software businesses in both the US and
Australia.”
This announcement has been authorised for release by the directors.
