- FY26 revenue guidance raised to $64–65 million
- Rest of World revenue surpasses ANZ for the first time
- H1 FY26 revenue up 14% to $33.3 million
- Platform revenue soars 54% on prior corresponding period

Record First Half Fuels Upgraded Guidance
Pureprofile Limited (ASX, PPL) has delivered a standout first half in FY26, prompting the company to raise its full-year revenue guidance to between $64 million and $65 million, up from the previous $63 million to $64 million range. This upgrade follows a 14% increase in revenue to $33.3 million for the half-year ended 31 December 2025, marking the sixth consecutive year of double-digit growth in the first half.
The company’s CEO, Martin Filz, highlighted the milestone achievement of the Rest of World (ROW) segment overtaking the ANZ region as the largest contributor to group revenue. This shift underscores Pureprofile’s successful international expansion, particularly in the UK and US markets, where client demand remains robust.
Geographic Diversification and Platform Growth
Over the past five years, the contribution from ROW has surged from 28% to just over 50% of total revenue, reflecting a strategic pivot towards global markets. ROW revenue jumped 30% year-on-year to $16.8 million in H1 FY26, while ANZ revenue grew a modest 2% to $16.5 million. Despite the slower growth in ANZ, it remains a profitable and stable base for the company’s ongoing innovation and technology rollouts.
Platform revenue, a key growth driver, expanded by an impressive 54% to $9.4 million, fuelled by increased API-driven client integrations and automated data delivery solutions. This growth highlights Pureprofile’s shift towards scalable, technology-enabled offerings, which are expected to enhance operating leverage and margins over time.
Financial Performance and Margin Stability
EBITDA rose 14% to $3.8 million, with the EBITDA margin steady at 11%, despite ongoing investments in growth initiatives. This margin stability amid expansion signals the scalability of Pureprofile’s business model. Over the last five years, EBITDA has grown at a compound annual rate of 24%, reflecting disciplined cost management alongside revenue growth.
In the second quarter alone, revenue increased 13% to $17.3 million, with ROW revenue up 25% and platform revenue surging 62%. These figures reinforce the company’s momentum heading into the second half of FY26.
Strategic Focus for FY26 and Beyond
Looking ahead, Pureprofile plans to capitalise on its international footprint by expanding its client base and deepening relationships with existing customers. The company aims to monetise recently launched products and solutions, particularly those leveraging AI and automation to improve operational efficiency and margins.
Targeted investments in sales and operational resources in the UK, along with exploration of expansion opportunities in the US, are set to underpin future growth. The company also intends to broaden its global data assets to support deeper partnerships in these key markets.
Recognition from industry bodies, including being named Research Partner of the Year and ranking among the top global performers for survey quality, further cements Pureprofile’s reputation as a leader in data and insights services.
Bottom Line?
Pureprofile’s international growth and technology focus position it well for sustained momentum, but investors will watch closely for margin improvements and execution in new markets.
Questions in the middle?
- How will Pureprofile balance investment in growth with margin expansion in H2 FY26?
- What specific AI and automation initiatives will drive operational efficiencies?
- Can the company sustain its rapid platform revenue growth amid increasing competition?
