Full Summary

ReadCloud Limited has reported strong financial results for the half-year ended 31 March 2025. The company achieved a 13% ($1.02m) increase in consolidated Sales & Fee Revenue to $9.16m, driven by 32% growth in the VET-in-schools business and 10% growth in domestic Direct customer eBook Solutions sales. Gross profit increased by 20% to $4.94m, primarily due to the strong performance of the high-margin VET-in-schools business. Operating expenses were stable, increasing by just 1% to $3.28m, reflecting disciplined cost control.
