Scout Security reports H1 FY2026 results
- Completed acquisition of Roo Inc., expanding customer base and recurring revenues
- Raised $820,000 in equity and $313,947 in additional borrowings to support integration and working capital
- Maintained focus on high-margin subscription revenues and disciplined cost management
During the half-year ended 31 December 2025 ('H1 FY2026'), Scout Security Limited successfully executed a significant corporate recapitalisation while advancing its industry consolidation strategy, culminating in the acquisition of Roo Inc. The Group maintained its focus on growing high-margin recurring revenues and disciplined cost management. Key highlights for H1 FY2026 include the acquisition of Roo Inc., a $820,000 capital raising, and additional borrowings of $313,947 to support short-term liquidity and transaction-related funding requirements. The Group generated total cash receipts from customers of $0.4 million for the half-year, with recurring monthly revenue streams remaining a key focus. Operating cash outflows were actively managed, with the December half-year showing a 12% reduction year-on-year. The Group's net loss after tax for the half-year was $10.5 million, which included a $9.1 million impairment of goodwill. Net operating cash flow was an outflow of $0.7m in the half-year, a 13% reduction in outflow compared to the same period a year earlier. The Company held a cash balance of $0.09 million as at 31 December 2025.
The Board's primary strategic focus is the successful integration of Roo Inc. to realise identified synergies and achieve positive EBITDA and cash flow, as well as to continue to execute on its industry roll-up strategy by identifying, and engaging with, additional acquisition targets.
The Company continues to grow its core white-label subscription business, which provides predictable, recurring revenue and reduces reliance on one-off, low margin hardware sales. The pending commercial launch of the Bolt partnership will mark a significant step forward towards these goals. The business will maintain its disciplined approach to cost management and capital allocation to ensure operations are resourced sustainably.
