- EBITDA grows 18% to $5.2 million, maintaining 9% margin

Record Growth Amid Global Expansion
Pureprofile Limited (ASX, PPL) has delivered a standout FY25 performance, reporting a 19% increase in revenue to $57.2 million and an 18% rise in EBITDA to $5.2 million. This marks a clear acceleration from the previous year’s 10% revenue growth, underscoring the company’s successful execution of its global growth strategy and operational scaling.
The company’s expanding footprint beyond its traditional ANZ stronghold is particularly notable. Revenue from Rest of World (ROW) markets, including the UK and US, surged 28% to $26.4 million, now representing 46% of total revenue, up significantly from 29% five years ago. This shift reflects Pureprofile’s deliberate diversification to reduce reliance on ANZ, where revenue grew a solid 12% to $30.8 million, bolstered by the strategic acquisition of i-Link.
Innovation Drives Platform and Client Growth
Platform revenue, a key growth engine, rose 23% to $11.1 million as clients increasingly adopt Pureprofile’s AI-powered solutions. The company launched several new offerings in FY25, including Synthetic Responses leveraging synthetic data, AI social insights in partnership with Quilt.AI, and the Datarubico suite of AI-enabled self-service tools. These innovations position Pureprofile to accelerate platform adoption and revenue in FY26 and beyond.
Client engagement remains robust, with revenue from the top 25 clients growing 23% year-on-year, even as the client base expanded from 798 to 923. Repeat business remains strong at 90%, highlighting the stickiness of Pureprofile’s solutions in a competitive market.
Q4 Highlights and Margin Dynamics
The final quarter of FY25 saw record revenue of $15.3 million, up 17% on the prior corresponding period, driven by a 27% revenue increase in ROW and 8% growth in ANZ. However, EBITDA for Q4 declined 13% to $1.3 million, with margins dipping to 8%. This softness was attributed to foreign exchange headwinds, increased technology operating expenses related to new solution launches, and investments in sales capabilities in key international markets.
Despite these short-term margin pressures, Pureprofile’s CEO Martin Filz expressed confidence in the company’s trajectory, emphasizing the balance between strategic investment and profitability as the business scales globally.
Looking Ahead, FY26 Priorities
Looking forward, Pureprofile plans to deepen its global client relationships and monetize its new product suite. The company aims to improve margins by shifting from managed services to tech-enabled solutions, launching automated client offerings, and leveraging AI to enhance operational efficiency. Targeted investments in the UK and exploratory expansion in the US signal continued commitment to international growth.
With a reported cash balance of $5.7 million and disciplined capital management, Pureprofile appears well-positioned to capitalize on evolving market demands for technology-driven consumer insights and data monetization.
Bottom Line?
Pureprofile’s FY25 momentum sets the stage for accelerated global growth and margin expansion, but investors will watch closely how new investments impact near-term profitability.
Questions in the middle?
- How quickly will new AI platform solutions translate into sustained revenue growth?
- What impact will foreign exchange volatility have on Pureprofile’s international margins?
- How will the company balance investment in global expansion with maintaining profitability?
