Connexion Mobility Reports Solid Q1 Results, Continues Growth Focus

Connexion Mobility Ltd has delivered a solid start to the 2026 financial year, reporting revenue growth, increased gross profit, and a focus on long-term shareholder value. The company's mobility SaaS platforms, OnTRAC and Connexion, continue to gain traction with US automotive OEMs and franchised dealers, helping them manage their courtesy transportation activities.

In Q1 FY26, Connexion saw revenue growth from its Connexion subscriptions, as well as income linked to vehicle inventories and steady revenue from feature enhancements. Gross profit increased marginally quarter-over-quarter to $1.9 million, while net profit before tax dipped 19% to $0.7 million, mainly due to the absence of government incentives received in the prior quarter.

Connexion's top priority remains growing long-term shareholder value through product enhancements, sales, and commercial partnerships. This includes the acquisition of a substantial minority ownership in Covertrue Group Pty Ltd, further diversifying the company's earnings. With a strong financial position and 12 consecutive quarters of increased revenue, Connexion is well-positioned to continue executing on its growth strategy.

Cogstate Delivers Record Sales Contracts, Diversifies Customer Base

Cogstate Ltd has provided a business update ahead of its upcoming Annual General Meeting, highlighting the growing demand for its services and strong financial performance.

The company reported a record number of sales opportunities in the September quarter, up 72% year-over-year, reflecting both market growth and increased market share. This translated into $21.4 million in executed sales contracts for the quarter, an 88% increase compared to the prior year period.

Cogstate's customer base continues to diversify, with the company expanding into new indications beyond its core focus on central nervous system diseases. For the upcoming December half-year, Cogstate expects revenue to be 18-20% higher than the same period last year, closely aligning with the strong results in the second half of FY25.

While the company anticipates a slight margin decline of up to 3 percentage points in FY26 due to increased investments for growth, Cogstate remains well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for its innovative services.
