Motio Reports $1.62M Profit Before Tax and 31% EBITDA Growth in FY26

Strong Profit Turnaround and Record Revenue Months

Motio Limited (ASX:MXO) closed FY26 with a profit before tax of $1.622 million, a dramatic turnaround from a loss of $78,709 in the prior year. This improvement was driven by a 31% increase in Cash EBITDA to $2.532 million and an 8% revenue growth on a like-for-like basis excluding the Motio Go sales representation, which ceased in June 2025. Notably, May and June 2026 delivered consecutive record revenue months, propelling the company into FY27 with significant momentum.

Capital Raise Strengthens Balance Sheet and Flexibility

In November 2025, Motio completed a successful capital raise that generated $1.73 million net of transaction costs. The proceeds were used to fully repay the vendor finance debt owed to oOh!media, simplifying the company’s capital structure and materially strengthening its balance sheet. This debt repayment eliminated $1.08 million in borrowings and reduced finance costs substantially, from $219,366 in FY25 to $61,798 in FY26. With cash and cash equivalents rising to nearly $4 million, Motio now has enhanced financial flexibility to invest in network expansion, product development, and strategic opportunities.

Expanding Digital Place-Based Media Networks

Motio’s core business remains digital place-based media, operating over 1,300 digital displays across more than 1,000 locations nationally. The company’s networks span Health, Café, Venue, and Play environments, each targeting engaged audiences with tailored content and advertising. FY26 saw continued expansion, including Motio’s appointment as exclusive sales partner for Adonix, a digital transit media network featuring taxi-top displays, marking its entry into digital transit advertising.

The Health network is the largest segment, with over 785 displays across 600 medical centres, offering advertisers access to attentive audiences in high-dwell environments. The Café network targets professionals and consumers in approximately 200 cafés, while the Venue network operates in 124 licensed bars and pubs, leveraging repeat visitation and social engagement. Motio Play, operating across 115 indoor sporting venues, connects brands with younger demographics and families, further diversified by the addition of PCYC NSW locations.

Operational Discipline and Shareholder Alignment

CEO Adam Cadwallader emphasised the company’s focus on profitability, cash generation, and disciplined growth. The board and management maintain a clear strategy centred on scaling efficiently and creating long-term shareholder value through revenue growth, strong margins, and sensible capital allocation. The alignment of interests is underscored by directors and key management personnel collectively holding over 90 million shares and performance rights, reinforcing commitment to the company’s success.

Sustainability and Risk Management

Motio continues to prioritise sustainability and ESG, targeting carbon neutrality through initiatives such as automated power management of digital displays. The company actively manages risks related to economic conditions, market demands, business continuity, employee retention, and acquisitive growth, with a governance framework ensuring oversight of strategic and operational risks.

No Dividend Declared as Growth Takes Priority

Despite the strong profit performance, Motio did not declare a dividend for FY26, reflecting its focus on reinvesting capital to support network expansion and product development. The company enters FY27 with a solid forward revenue position and a healthy balance sheet, aiming to convert recent momentum into sustainable growth while maintaining financial discipline.
