Cash balance increased new ‘direct to bank’ ACH processing model
As at 30 June 2024, the cash and cash equivalents were $13.5 million, up from $3.4 million at 30 June 2023. In
FY24, QuickFee launched its ‘direct to bank’ ACH service, which provides improved internal control for ACH
processing and full redundancy via multiple banks as well as reducing third party processing costs. Under this new
ACH Pay Now process, QuickFee holds cash on the balance sheet as ‘cash in transit’ on behalf of its customers,
which was $6.6 million at 30 June 2024 (30 June 2023: $nil) and this ‘cash in transit’ is included in the $13.5 million
cash balance at 30 June 2024.
Supplementary financing of loan book
QuickFee is in advanced discussions with various potential lenders to secure supplementary financing to facilitate
loan book growth. The existing borrowings facility with Northleaf Capital Partners Limited matures in November
2025 and while there is undrawn headroom available from this facility, further increases to the utilised balance are
unavailable from 30 September 2024. The Company does not expect any material financial or operational impact
from any potential changes in lenders.
Commenting on the financial year results, QuickFee Chairman Dale Smorgon, said:
“In the past year, we delivered strong revenue growth on a stable cost base, with improved profitability and a
strengthened balance sheet. In addition, we completed a series of important operational milestones, which will
underpin future revenue growth and the scalability of our model. The market opportunity in the US remains significant
and we remain optimistic about the potential for transformational growth in the US over the years ahead.
We enter FY25 with positive momentum across all metrics in the business and we are focused on the delivery of a
profitable FY25 and continued growth in shareholder value.”
