Aura Completes Qoria Acquisition, Eyes 20% Growth with $300M ARR

Aura and Qoria Unite to Form a Global Online Safety Leader

Aura Consolidated Group (ASX:AXQ) has officially closed its acquisition of Qoria Limited, merging two significant players in the online safety and wellbeing sector. This deal positions the combined entity as a formidable force with a global footprint, leveraging Aura’s AI-driven safety tools alongside Qoria’s extensive connected schools ecosystem.

The newly combined group’s CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) will begin normal (T+2) settlement trading on the ASX from Monday, July 20, 2026, marking a fresh chapter for investors and customers alike. Aura’s founder and CEO, Hari Ravichandran, emphasised the shared mission of both companies to empower users across home, school, and work environments through an AI-first, end-to-end protection model.

Financial Scale and Growth Ambitions

On a pro forma basis, Aura and Qoria generated more than US$300 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) for the year ended December 31, 2025. The group aims for more than 20% growth in calendar year 2026, alongside positive free cash flow from closing through to the end of 2026. This scale reflects the integration of Aura’s consumer platform with Qoria’s approximately 32,000 school customers and a global base of Qustodio parent accounts.

Alongside the acquisition, Aura raised US$100 million through an equity placement involving existing shareholders such as WndrCo, Accel, and General Catalyst. This capital injection is expected to support the combined group’s growth initiatives and operational scaling.

Regulatory Approval and Shareholder Exchange

The transaction was completed following all conditions under the Australian Scheme of Arrangement, including approval by Qoria shareholders and the Federal Court of Australia. Eligible Qoria shareholders received Aura CDIs at an exchange ratio of approximately 1 Aura CDI for every 17.32 Qoria shares held, reflecting the relative valuations agreed upon in the deal.

Upcoming Earnings and Investor Engagement

Aura will report its second quarter 2026 financial results on August 6, 2026, prior to the ASX market opening. The company will host a webcast at 10:30 AM AEST the same day to discuss the results and business outlook, providing investors with an early opportunity to assess the impact of the acquisition and the combined group’s strategic direction.

Investors can register for the webcast and access a replay via Aura’s investor relations channels.

Positioning in the Digital Safety Market

The merger of Aura and Qoria consolidates their complementary strengths: Aura’s AI-powered platform offers proactive protection against identity theft, financial fraud, and online threats, while Qoria’s connected schools network enhances child safety and wellbeing in educational environments. Together, they aim to deliver comprehensive protection for individuals, families, and enterprises worldwide.

This integration not only expands Aura’s addressable market but also diversifies its revenue streams and customer base, potentially increasing resilience amid evolving digital safety challenges.

While the forward-looking statements project strong growth and positive cash flow, investors should remain mindful of the inherent uncertainties in such projections, especially given the complexities of integrating two global operations.
