Reinventing Spacetalk
Letter from the Chair of Spacetalk Limited
Dear Shareholders
On behalf of the board of directors, I am pleased to present the Company's Annual
Report for the 2023 financial year ('FY23').
FY23 has been a truly transformational year for the business, a year in which
we repositioned and reinvented Spacetalk to a sustainable business with a clear
strategy and high-quality leadership under the helm of Simon Crowther our CEO/
MD to execute this strategy. In FY23, we completely restructured the operations and
resolved the limitations of the previous capital strategy to support future profitable
growth. All this was done in a very short period of time in particular in the 2nd half
of FY23, which is truly remarkable and for which the board of directors would like to
thank all employees and leaders in the business.
Spacetalk is now an emerging wearables-enabled software subscription and
Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) business centering around the theme
of “Family Safety”. While investment was required to support the transformation,
the results show already significant improvement in the operational and financial
metrics of the business. The capital raise conducted during Q1/FY24 will further
enable the delivery of our growth strategy.
As we reflect on our journey, I want to also express my heartfelt gratitude to our
shareholders for their unwavering support, dedication, and trust in Spacetalk’s
vision and leadership. Your belief in our vision and commitment has been another
cornerstone of our success, and I am honoured to address you today with sincere
appreciation.
The journey ahead holds promise and potential, and we are eager to embark
on it together, hand in hand. Together, we will continue to build a future that is
prosperous and sustainable.

CEO’s Report
I am pleased to be able to share with you my reflections on the 2023 financial
year and the important work that was undertaken to restructure and refocus
the business for sustainable future growth.
Change is never easy; however, it is important that the foundational building blocks
of Strategy, People, Processes and Product are established and aligned. Since
joining Spacetalk in February 2023 I have worked hard with the management
team and Board to ensure these building blocks are in place and everyone is
aligned around a central common purpose. In May 2023 we updated investors
with an important strategy document that laid out the future growth opportunity
for Spacetalk. We emphasised that Spacetalk has a clear mission and will evolve
beyond children’s wearables to become a whole of family-oriented business
delivering peace of mind and freedom to all ages. This new direction for the
company offers significant growth potential.
To achieve our strategic objective of ‘Safety at Every Stage of Life’, urgent and
rapid action was completed during Q3 to temporarily scale back our operations in
the US and Europe. This gave us the opportunity to reduce costs and complexity
and stabilise our operations in Australia. At the same time, we commenced the
upskilling of the organisation, restructured the leadership team and hired domain
experts in key roles. Attracting and retaining proven expertise is a key goal and I
am pleased with the progress made with the new team working well together. This
enabled us to commence rapid product development to bring to life our strategy
and demonstrate our ability to execute against a larger addressable market.
We have ambitious product delivery plans that support our goal to be a wearables
enabled SaaS business with our MVNO Spacetalk Mobile (formerly Jumpy SIM)
at the centre of our rapidly evolving ecosystem. We are experiencing pleasing
progress throughout the business as we set ourselves up for growth and are on
track to deliver all the product priorities we highlighted in our strategic plan. Our
key objective is to extend the Spacetalk brand beyond children’s wearables and
effectively engage with tweens, teens and seniors for the first time to address a
much larger profitable market in Australia, and in due course explore entering new
customer segments and overseas expansion opportunities - this is an exciting time
for the company and shareholders as we focus on execution and profitability.
Change is never easy; I am proud of the work that has been completed in such
a short period of time. My thanks to my team who have worked tirelessly, the
Spacetalk board who have shown vision by backing a new direction and my
gratitude to our shareholders who have given me the opportunity to realise the full
potential of the business.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Operational and Financial Review
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $14,684,760 (30 June 2022: $8,180,110).
Results and key performance indicators of the current and prior year are set out below on a normalised basis, adjusting Statutory NPAT
for material infrequent items including the impairment of assets, restructuring costs, including redundancy costs and other material one
off adjustments. The FY23 results review is performed based on continuing operations following the wind down of overseas operations
during the year. Results from discontinued operations are outlined in note 9 to the financial statements.
1. GROUP PERFORMANCE
For the year ended 30 June 2023 the Group reported annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $8.3m, 33% up compared with the prior year.
The increase in ARR is consistent with the strategic shift towards a subscription-based business model. The Group also recorded strong
2H23 performance with normalised EBITDA of -$0.6m (1H23: -$2.4m), underpinned by the restructure that was completed in Q4/FY23.
This provides a solid foundation for future profitability and positive cash generation.
The overall 9% decline in revenue from continuing operations is due to device revenue decline. Despite phasing out the Kids watch in Q1/
FY23, the Company managed to minimise the revenue reduction impact during FY23 by introducing the MNVO subscriptions revenue
and improved agreements with retail partners and controlled discounting that resulted in improved margins. These improvements were
offset by the impact of strategic discounting and promotional activity to sell down large retailer Adventurer 1 inventory as the Company
sought to launch new products in Q4 of FY23 and Q2 of FY24.
FY23 was a transformational year for the Company, where the focus was restructuring and rebuilding which impacted the profit and loss
with a net $4.1m one off non-recurring costs as described below.

REVENUE
Revenue from continuing operations declined by 9% to $13.4m primarily driven by a 33% ($3.0m) decline in device revenue partially offset
by a $1.8m upside in Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) and Application revenue. During FY23, the MVNO alone generated $1.4m in
revenue (2022: NIL). This trend is consistent with the strategic shift towards recurring revenue, which rose to 54% of total revenue during the
year (FY22: 39%). MVNO subscriber growth has been robust and consistent since November 2022’s launch, totalling 14,720 subscribers
added at the end of the year.
As Spacetalk continues to transition to the higher Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) MVNO product, Application subscriber numbers
declined 7% to 55,258. App revenue however increased by 13% to $3.8m due to higher average paying users during the year. Schools’
revenue decline of $0.3m (12%) was due to a decline in SMS volume vs prior corresponding period (“pcp”).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
GROSS PROFIT
The 23% decline in gross profit to $6.7m (excluding other income) is reflective of the decline in device revenue during the year, partially
offset by the new MVNO revenue. GP margin declined by 9ppts to 50% primarily due to a decline in device margins because of discounting
and promotional activities undertaken during the year to sell off excess Adventurer 1 inventory. The Company is focused on future margin
improvement through controlled discounting and promotions, resetting retailer margins, and managing retailer inventory levels.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Normalised Group operating expenses (including discontinued operations) declined by 17% to $12.6m due to:
• $2.7m (33%) reduction in employment expenses to $5.5m. This was due to $0.9m savings in overseas operations and a $0.6m
reduction in share-based payments expense.
• $0.4m (24%) decline in advertising and marketing expenses due to ~$0.3m spent on retailer support in overseas operations in prior
year
• an increase in administration expenses of $0.3m partially offset the above decreases.
Savings generated by winding down overseas operations present the Company with an opportunity to redeploy costs to value accretive
strategic initiatives in the ANZ region. The ANZ cost base has been resized and a significant capability uplift has been achieved through
engaging specialists in key roles to aid strategy execution.

Fair value gains on derivatives
2H23 normalised EBITDA was -$0.6m (1H23: - $2.4m), underpinned by the business restructure completed during Q4. This sets a solid
foundation for future profitability and cash generation, with the cost base resized to drive strategy and revenue growth.
NOTES
• Redundancy and restructuring costs relate to one off business transformation costs incurred in FY23.
• Warranty provision reversal is a large one off non-recurring reversal of warranty provisions in FY23.
• Debt restructuring costs are non-cash and relate to the accelerated write off of capitalised transaction costs, recognition of
expenses due to issue of warrants to Pure Asset Management (Pure) as part of debt restructuring.
• Fair value gains on derivatives are with respect to the fair valuation of the derivative financial liability related to warrants issued to
Pure Asset Management.
• Depreciation and amortisation relate predominantly to amortisation of capitalised development costs.
• Impairment expense is primarily due to the write down of capitalised development costs ($2.3m) and Life watch inventory ($0.8m).

Closing balance at the end of the year
• Improvement in operating cash flows driven by:
— 17% ($2.7m) lower operating expenses, partially offset by one off restructuring costs of $1.7m and lower revenue.
— $2.7m inflow from reduction in net working capital vs $4.2m outflow due to working capital increase in prior year.
• Lower capex spend in FY23 due to optimisation of use of external resources
• Lower capital raised in FY23 ($2.7m) vs $11.5m equity and debt capital raised in FY22.
FUNDING AND CAPITAL
Debt facilities amounting to $5m from Pure Asset Management (Pure) were fully drawn by 30 June 2023. The tenure of the facilities is:
• Loan 2 facility of $2m which is due on 1 July 2024:

• Aligning the Repayment Date for Loan 1 and Loan 2 to 20 March 2025 from 1 July 2024.

SEGMENT ANALYSIS
Device Revenue
Device revenue declined by 33% to $6.1m primarily driven by:
• A 21% decrease in sales volume from 51,036 units in FY22 to 40,572 units in FY23.
• FY22 high sales volume resulted in significant stock in channel that impacted FY23 retailer demand.
• Change in sales mix also affected revenue, with the graph below showing sales mix in FY23 compared with FY22.
