● Group Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of A$15.7m with over 71% (A$11.2m) on the New Platform
● Cash Balance (at 30 June 2026): A$2.3m
Xref Limited (ASX: XF1) (“Xref” or “the Group”) is pleased to report its audited financial results for the full
year ended 30 June 2026 (FY26). The results reflect accelerated market adoption of the New Platform
across the employee lifecycle, together with sustained margin expansion and cost efficiencies arising
from the Group’s restructure.
Key Subsequent Event: Debt Refinancing with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia
Subsequent to 30 June 2026, the Group completed a refinancing of its debt facilities with the
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). The refinancing extends the Group’s debt maturity, reduces
near-term debt servicing requirements and provides additional liquidity through a new working capital
facility.
Refinancing Summary:
● Debt Facility Payout: Repaid the Element SaaS Finance LLC outstanding balance at settlement.
● New Term Facility: Secured a A$6.3m senior facility with CBA maturing in August 2029. No
principal repayments are payable until August 2028. The new term facility interest rate
comprises a line fee plus the 90-Day BBSY Rate (initially 8.35% per annum variable).
● Working Capital Line: Established a A$2.0m overdraft facility with CBA reviewed annually. The
overdraft facility interest rate comprises a line fee of and a discounted margin of the Overdraft
Index Rate (initially 11.73% per annum variable).
● Establishment Fees and Costs: An estimated A$0.3m of the facility proceeds will be allocated
to settle transaction setup costs and bank establishment fees.
● Covenants: The Group is subject to customary financial covenants including a leverage ratio
and cash flow cover for debt service.
● Cash flow Impact: The new facilities are expected to deliver a reduction in the annual finance
outflow on the term facility (principal repayments and interest) from A$2.7m in FY26 to an
estimated A$0.5m (interest only) through FY27.
As the refinancing was completed after the reporting date, borrowings are presented in the FY26
financial statements in accordance with the balance and terms existing at 30 June 2026. Further details
are set out in Note 32 to the Financial Statements.
