Spacetalk signs UK and German agreements targeting over A$1.6 million in hardware sales
Spacetalk Ltd (ASX:SPA) has signed sales representation agreements with TIOGO Limited in the United Kingdom and upsell digital GmbH trading as VALOQ.DE in Germany. The UK and Germany sales agreements carry combined, agreed, non-binding sales targets of more than A$1.6 million in the first 12 months following signing of the respective agreements.
The targets are measured as net wholesale hardware revenue received by Spacetalk. Both agreements commence immediately following signing and cover Spacetalk’s entire current and future smartwatch range.
Key facts from the announcement:
- Partners and markets: TIOGO in the United Kingdom and VALOQ in Germany
- Target: combined, non-binding smartwatch hardware sales of more than A$1.6 million in the first 12 months
- Exclusions: all incremental mobile connectivity and App subscription revenue, with no subscription revenue forecast disclosed
The agreements expand Spacetalk’s European go-to-market capabilities and set a measurable commercial objective for the first year.

How the UK and Germany partnerships will work
Local sales representation in two markets
TIOGO will provide sales representation in the United Kingdom, while VALOQ will do the same in Germany. Both partners will support market development, commercial engagement and the development of relevant sales and distribution channels for Spacetalk devices.
The agreements provide local commercial capabilities to support ongoing device sales and future product introductions.
The new Geo smartwatch is the first of three models planned to refresh the range between November 2026 and April 2027, with device margins expected to improve on the current line-up.
What the A$1.6 million target covers
The smartwatch hardware sales target is built on net wholesale revenue, meaning the revenue Spacetalk receives from device sales. Subscription and connectivity income sits outside it, as the table shows.
| Item | Included in target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Net wholesale hardware revenue received by Spacetalk | Yes | Combined target of more than A$1.6 million over the first 12 months |
| Mobile connectivity revenue | No | Incremental revenue is excluded |
| App subscription revenue | No | Incremental revenue is excluded |
| Premium family safety service revenue | No | Incremental revenue is excluded |
The targets are non-binding and do not represent minimum purchase commitments or guaranteed revenue. Actual performance will depend on customer demand, channel development, product availability and market execution.
Hardware as the entry point to recurring subscription revenue
A smartwatch purchase can establish an initial relationship with a household through device connectivity and the Spacetalk App. That creates opportunities for ongoing engagement through mobile subscriptions and additional software services, which is why device sales matter to the subscription model.
At home, the Australian retail expansion into Kmart, Target and Bing Lee lifts the store network 47% to 919 stores, widening the base of households entering through the watch.
The UK and German partnerships are expected to expand the number of households accessible through Spacetalk’s family safety ecosystem. That includes parents, children and older family members, beyond the original smartwatch user.
Premium App services such as Online Safety and 24/7 emergency monitoring form part of this opportunity, subject to availability in each market. The household opportunity spans:
- Mobile connectivity
- Premium App subscriptions
- Additional family safety services
Any subscription revenue generated through the partnerships will be incremental to, and excluded from, the hardware target. No subscription revenue forecast is disclosed, and outcomes will depend on customer activation, service availability and ongoing customer take-up.
Simon Crowther, CEO and Managing Director
“Our strategy is to use connected devices as an entry point into the wider household…”
Crowther also said the target “relates to net wholesale hardware revenue to Spacetalk alone”.
Building an international family safety business
The agreements support Spacetalk’s strategy to broaden international distribution while growing recurring subscription revenue alongside its hardware business. By expanding access to devices through local commercial partners, the company aims to increase hardware sales and establish a larger base of households engaging with its digital services.
The arrangements also provide a platform for future Spacetalk devices, with the potential to extend household relationships through mobile connectivity, premium App subscriptions and additional family safety services where available.
Crowther said the agreements support the company’s “ambition to build an international family safety business, combining broader hardware distribution with growing recurring subscription revenue.”
