Xamble Raises A$0.67M Placement to Accelerate YToday Integration and AI Cost Savings

Capital Raise Supports Strategic Integration and Cost Transformation

Xamble Group Limited (ASX:XGL) has completed a A$0.67 million placement priced at 1.1 cents per CDI, accompanied by free-attaching options (ASX:XGLO) exercisable at 2.5 cents through August 2028. The raise, which attracted strong backing from both existing and new sophisticated investors, aims to fund the integration of YToday Sdn Bhd into Xamble’s platform and bolster working capital as the company scales its creator economy footprint across Southeast Asia.

The placement price represented a 15% discount to Xamble’s last traded price, with the inclusion of the options lowering the effective entry price to 0.8 cents per CDI, a 38% discount. The raise was split into an unconditional tranche of approximately A$0.57 million and a conditional tranche of A$0.10 million, the latter subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

AI-Driven Cost Savings Central to Profitability Drive

Xamble’s chairman Ganesh Bangah highlighted the company’s clear execution plan, underpinned by a growing pipeline of enterprise client wins and enhanced balance sheet flexibility. The integration of YToday is expected to streamline client lists, campaign workflows, and influencer databases, leveraging automation to reduce working capital costs across the combined group.

The company targets annualised cost savings exceeding A$700,000 through its AI transformation, a figure consistent with earlier guidance when the acquisition was completed. This follows the appointment of Interim CEO Adrian Tan to lead the integration and AI initiatives, a move designed to sharpen operational efficiency and accelerate growth across seven Southeast Asian markets.

Placement Builds on Recent Acquisition Momentum

The capital raise follows Xamble’s acquisition of a 55.6% stake in YToday earlier this year, which tripled its influencer base to over 19,000 and expanded its geographic reach from three to seven countries. The transaction has already contributed to a growing commercial pipeline, including contracts worth over A$1 million secured in recent months.

This financing round extends the company’s runway as it works to capitalise on the expanded platform and deliver on its promise of a full-spectrum influencer marketing solution. The conditional tranche involving the chairman underscores management’s confidence in the strategy and aligns insider interests with shareholder value creation.

Notably, the raise was managed by Eli Capital Pty Ltd, which received a combination of cash fees and broker options as remuneration for their services, reflecting market-standard terms for capital raises of this scale and nature.
