place . The partnership covers a 145-strong store network, which encompasses both Noel

The Warehouse Group NZ agreement represents a major milestone in Spacetalk's plans to
generate New Zealand-sourced revenues. In particular, it will allow Spacetalk to take advantage
of the under developed Kids Wearables category within the New Zealand market.
Once New Zealand-based sales start to be generated, the Company will then have the
opportunity to cross-sell additional Spacetalk products to these first-time New Zealand-based
customers.
This agreement is expected to contribute towards the delivery of Spacetalk’s stated target of
$20-25 million in annual recurring revenues (ARR) within the coming three years. This would
represent a three-fold increase on the ARR figure Spacetalk reported in its 2023 financial year.
Spacetalk Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Simon Crowther, said:
“Our partnership agreement with Warehouse Group NZ has effectively fast-tracked our planned
push into the New Zealand-based retail market-place. It gives NZ-based consumers the
opportunity to see how our attractive Adventurer 2 and Spacetalk Loop smartwatch products
can keep families connected. The agreement will help Spacetalk further leverage the universal
desire families have to keep their vulnerable members safe. We anticipate that sales derived
from this scaled New Zealand sales channel will promptly provide cross sell opportunities.
Success on this front will, in turn, take Spacetalk a step closer to delivering on its stated goal of
tripling its annual recurring revenues to around $20-25 million within the coming three years.”
