AdNeo Limited (ASX:AD1) reported FY26 operating revenue of $9.6m, up 97% on FY25, in an announcement dated 13 October 2026.

The company invited investors and shareholders to a webinar hosted by Peak Asset Management on Tuesday, 20 October 2026 at 11:00am AEDT.

CEO and Managing Director Angus Washington will present the FY26 results and growth strategy, followed by a live Q&A. Revenue growth of 97%, alongside a $3.5m improvement in underlying EBITDA, gives investors a direct reason to attend.

FY26 results: revenue, EBITDA and balance sheet

The announcement set out three headline FY26 metrics. The table below reproduces them as presented.

Metric FY26 Change on FY25
Operating revenue $9.6m Up 97%
Underlying EBITDA $1.6m $3.5m improvement
Net assets $3.0m Up $5.2m

Taken together, the revenue growth, the improvement in underlying EBITDA and the higher net assets point to a stronger year-on-year position.

AdNeo FY26 Financial Highlights Dashboard

The FY26 turnaround was driven by roughly $4.0m in operating expense reductions and a new Education revenue stream from the Learnt Global acquisition, with the first full year of positive operating cash flow also recorded.

What AI-powered learning means for investors

AdNeo describes itself as an “AI-powered learning innovation company connecting education to employment for every learner.” In simple terms, it aims to link education with job outcomes using artificial intelligence.

Its workforce capability platform unites education, mentoring and workforce technology into a single “AI-driven capability engine,” which the company says is grounded in “20+ years of expertise.”

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. It is a common gauge of operating performance because it isolates earnings from the core business as a company scales.

  • Model: AI-powered learning connecting education to employment
  • Platform: education, mentoring and workforce technology in one system
  • Metric to watch: underlying EBITDA of $1.6m in FY26

Growth strategy and how to join the webinar

AdNeo outlined two growth strategy points in the announcement:

  1. Expand EBITDA margin, while investing in AI and top line growth.
  2. Continue assessing strategic and EPS-accretive M&A opportunities in support of the company’s longer-term growth ambitions.

The M&A point is framed as ongoing assessment only. The announcement does not name a transaction.
