Total Revenue increased by 5% to $25.2M (1H24 $24.1M), with Total Transactional
Revenue1 flat at $16.4M (1H24 $16.4M) as the 10% growth in core routes was masked
by volatility in a small number of high cost of sales routes acquired with DOCOMO Digital
Gross profit margin increased to 84.3% (1H24 80.8%) driven by high margin DVM growth,
procurement initiatives and strong performance in core transactional routes
ARR up 20%. Net Revenue Retention of 108% (H1 24: 159%) with churn of live DVM
customers remaining at zero
Other Income was $0.4M (1H24 $1.4M) and is not included in the revenue figure above;
this is related to recovery of costs from the acquisition of DOCOMO Digital
Net debt rose to $7.3M at 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024 $5.1M) driven by planned working
capital movements and supported by the previously announced enhanced loan facility
with NHN and the $15M NatWest revolving credit facility. These were secured to
strengthen the balance sheet and enable acceleration of planned efficiency improvements

Paul Larbey, Chief Executive Officer of Bango, commented:
"Bango has delivered a strong first half in 2025, making significant progress towards becoming the place where
people subscribe. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 66% and Annual Recurring Revenue increased 20% year-on-year.
The Digital Vending Machine® continues to gain momentum, managing over 19 million active subscriptions at the
end of June - twice the number at the same point last year. This momentum was underpinned by 7 new customer
wins so far this year, including our first in South Korea, a first Telco in Japan and with further wins in the US
meaning 6 out of the top 8 Telcos in the US rely on the Digital Vending Machine for bundling.
Adoption of the DVM is also broadening beyond Telcos, with leading content providers and platforms increasingly
selecting Bango to power their bundling strategies. The launch of our fully integrated Super Bundling platform, and
the first deployment of the new DVM CX by Altice in the US, further strengthens our position as the standard
platform for subscription bundling.
In the payments business, the core, high-margin transactional routes delivered solid growth, even as volatility in a
small number of acquired DOCOMO Digital routes masked the underlying performance. With the migration from
the Frankfurt data center complete, the integration of DOCOMO Digital is now behind us. Following the efficiency
savings delivered this year, Bango is well positioned for significant cash generation in 2026.
I am excited by our growing base of blue-chip customers and encouraged by their expanding application of the
Bango DVM to power a varied and compelling range of bundled offers. Bango is well positioned to deliver
scalable, profitable growth and to capture the expanding global opportunity in subscription bundling."
1 DVM & One-off Revenue includes all DVM license and support fees, revenue from Bango Audiences
(discontinued in Q1 2024) and one-off fees including DVM set-up and change requests.
2 Transactional Revenue is revenue derived by charging a percentage of the retail price paid by the consumer
and is made up of direct carrier billing, resale and e-Disti revenue share amounts.
3Annual Recurring Revenue is the expected annual revenues to be generated in the next 12 months
based on contracted revenues recognized as at 30 June 2025.
4 Net Revenue Retention is a measure of the retention and expansion of revenue from existing customers over the
previous 12 months and is calculated by dividing the ARR from existing customers at the end of a period by the
ARR generated from those same customers at the beginning of the period.
5Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, negative goodwill, exceptional
items, share of net loss of associate and share based payment charge.
6Attributable to equity holders of the company.
7Net debt is borrowings less cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments.

CEO Statement
Bango operates two distinct product lines that share a common technology stack and customer base but differ in
revenue model and growth dynamics. Together, these provide a strong foundation for sustainable growth. In the
first half of 2025, we continued to scale our Digital Vending Machine® (DVM™) subscriptions business, delivering
a 20% increase in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). This strong revenue growth, coupled with efficiency
initiatives resulted in a 66% uplift in Adjusted EBITDA, a margin of 27% (1H 24 17%) demonstrating the benefits of
operational leverage and disciplined cost management.
Digital Vending Machine® (DVM™): The Bango DVM enables subscription service providers to scale their reach
through major distribution channels including Telcos, retailers, banks and other partners. As the structural shift
toward indirect distribution and super bundling accelerates, Bango is increasingly recognized as the industry
standard platform for subscription bundling.
The strategic advantage of a common technology platform is that all business activity contributes to its evolution
and all our resellers and content providers benefit from that continuous progress, and the subscriptions bundling
market as a whole grows faster. By connecting once to the DVM, a content provider becomes part of a large and
expanding network of resellers. Equally, a reseller connected to the DVM becomes part of an ecosystem of over
116 content providers. This unique platform is making Bango the place that the world's largest companies come to
for bundling. At the end of June 2025, the DVM managed over 19 million active subscriptions - double the number
from the same time in 2024. This growth is driven both by strong adoption from new customers and expansion
from existing partners.
Payments / Transactional: Bango remain a global leader in Direct Carrier Billing (DCB). We are the largest DCB
partner for Google Play, the only DCB partner for Amazon in Japan, and the sole provider of DCB services to NTT
DOCOMO - the largest Telco, in the most valuable DCB market.
Strategy for Growth
Our strategy continues to be driven by four pillars:
Expand - Lead the bundling of subscription services through Telco channels
With 7 new wins in 1H25, including our first customer in Korea, our first DVM Telco in Japan and the first DVM win
in India, the DVM is growing globally. A new Telco customer in Western Europe is the first of several expected wins
as European opportunities move from exploration into deployment.
Our leadership in the US (the world's largest subscription market) was further crystallized with 6 out of the top 8
Telcos now relying on the Bango DVM to bundle third-party subscription services.
Net Revenue Retention of 108%, along with the increase in the number of active subscriptions managed by the
DVM, demonstrates that existing customers are growing their usage of the DVM. As the base of existing
customers grows, we expect the revenue they generate to increase as they start to climb through the license fee
tiers. This marks the transition from growth by coverage (adding new logos - the phase we are currently in), to
growth by capacity, an important milestone.
Explore - Identify new bundling opportunities outside Telcos
The DVM remains reseller-agnostic. New opportunities in retail, financial services and adjacent verticals continue
to emerge. The launch of multiple new features in 2025, including the DVM CX, elevated the DVM to become the
first all-in-one super bundling solution and provide key enablers for our expansion into these new verticals.
Enhance - Use data to differentiate Bango and monetize content providers
Content providers are increasingly using the DVM not only to reach new customers but also to create new
bundling models. SiriusXM's adoption of the DVM to bundle additional third-party content is one example of this.
We continue to build capabilities to harness platform data, helping providers benchmark and optimize subscriber
growth.
Extract - Manage the payments business for cash and profit
Transactional revenue was flat in the first half, as 10% growth in our core high-margin routes was offset by
volatility in a small number of lower-margin routes acquired with DOCOMO Digital.
The migration of DOCOMO Digital routes from the Frankfurt data center to the Bango platform has now
completed, allowing us to further optimize operations and reduce costs, resulting in increased cash generation
from the transactional business.
Summary
Bango is scaling strongly in 2025. With 7 new customers in the first half across North America, Europe and Asia,
and the first CX launch with a major US operator. Recurring revenue continues to grow, while Adjusted EBITDA
rose 66% as our cost efficiency programs and the operational leverage take effect.
With enhanced financing and a strengthened balance sheet, Bango is in an excellent position to deliver further
profitable growth and capture the significant global growth opportunity in subscription bundling.
Outlook
The DVM pipeline is robust, supported by increasing adoption from leading Telcos and content providers
worldwide. Payments continue to provide a solid foundation, while new efficiency initiatives will further enhance
profitability. We enter the second half of 2025 with strong momentum and remain on track to deliver FY25 revenue
and Adjusted EBITDA in line with market expectations.
Paul Larbey
Chief Executive Officer
CFO Statement
I am pleased to report that the first half of 2025 delivered solid financial progress, with strong performance across
recurring revenue, gross margin and operating efficiency. Recurring revenue grew by 20%, gross margin increased
by 350bps (notwithstanding the impact of the high cost of sales routes acquired with DOCOMO Digital), and core
administrative expenses reduced by 9%. Together, these improvements drove a 66% increase in Adjusted EBITDA
compared to the prior year period, growing the Adjusted EBITDA margin from 17% to 27%. Net loss also narrowed
by 24%, underlining the benefits of a more efficient cost base and improved operating leverage as we continue to
deliver on our strategic objectives.
Financial Performance
Group revenue for 1H25 increased 5% to $25.2M (1H24: $24.1M).
·
Transactional revenues were flat at $16.4M (1H24: $16.4M), while the core transactional routes grew 10%
y-o-y. This growth offset the volatility experienced in the small number of higher cost of sales routes
acquired with DOCOMO Digital.
·
DVM & One-off revenue grew by 15% to $8.9M (1H24: $7.7M), driven by both new customer wins and
growth in the volume of bundled subscriptions through the platform. Our pipeline continues to grow with
Bango securing 7 new customers during the period and DVM subscriptions doubling from 1H 24 to over
19M.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increased by 20% to $15.6M (1H24: $13.0M). Net Revenue Retention of 108%
reflects continued growth from existing customers. Importantly, churn of live DVM customers remains at zero.
Gross profit rose to $21.3M (1H24: $19.4M), with gross margin improving to 84% (1H24: 81%), driven by strong
performance in core transactional routes, procurement initiatives and a greater weighting of higher-margin DVM
activity.
Operating expenditure reflected continued focus on cost discipline. Core administrative expenses* were reduced
by $2.2M as the restructuring and efficiency initiatives delivered cost savings. These initiatives include
organizational streamlining, procurement improvements, and the completion of the DOCOMO Digital route
migrations. All of these elements contribute to a lower cost base and more operational leverage going into the
second half.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $6.8M (1H24: $5.6M), reflecting historical platform developments
which are now beginning to generate revenue. Exceptional items also rose to $1.8M (1H24: $0.3M) as expected,
reflecting the one-off restructuring costs ($1.3M) associated with the efficiency initiatives delivered in the first half.
This is expected to deliver a further reduction in core administrative expenses during the 2H and into FY26. The
exceptionals also included $0.3M of data migration costs relating to the transfer of data from the DOCOMO Digital
platform to the Bango platform and $0.2M of asset write-down charges. These write-down charges are consistent
with prior periods and relate to intangible costs incurred on the DOCOMO Digital platform that will ordinarily be
capitalised under IAS 38, but due to the migration to the Bango platform have been expensed. Both these costs
are expected to cease with the completion of route migrations this year. Lastly, share-based payment charges
remained stable at $1.1M (1H24 $1.1M).
Other income for the period of $0.4M (1H24: $1.4M), related to the recovery of DOCOMO Digital acquisition costs
as in prior periods. These amounts are difficult to predict and while some further recoveries are anticipated in
2H25, the expected level will be lower than in FY24.
As a result of the above, the operating loss was slightly lower than prior year at $2.9M (1H24: $3.0M), despite
higher amortization and the exceptional charges related to the efficiency initiatives.
Balance Sheet
The balance sheet was strengthened following the June refinancing, with the addition of a $15.0M NatWest
revolving credit facility and an enhanced NHN loan. Total assets increased to $82.8M (Dec 2024: $68.5M), driven
by working capital, continued investment in the DVM and the recognition of right-of-use assets from our new
Cambridge head office - a planned strategic investment to support growth and talent retention. An increase in
intangible assets reflected the ongoing development in the DVM.
Working capital was temporarily affected by a timing delay in receipts which normalized shortly after the period
end. R&D tax credits rose to $1.8M (1H24: $1.3M), although we expect this to reduce going forward following
changes to the UK tax regime due to lower overseas relief.
Net debt as at 30 June 2025 rose to $7.3M (Dec 2024: $1.7M) consistent with our expectations. The increase
reflects one-off costs from the efficiency initiatives and refinancing activities this year, as well as the unwind of
FY24 working capital benefits. Net debt is expected to reduce from Q4 2025 onwards as efficiency savings and
seasonal inflows materialize.
Cash Flow
Closing cash at 30 June 2025 was $4.6M (1H24: $2.2M), with financing inflows offsetting the impact of working
capital timing on cash generation from operations. Capitalized R&D expenditure reduced to $7.2M (1H24: $7.3M).
As guided at the FY24 results, expenditure on capitalized R&D peaked in FY24 and we expect a further reduction
through 2H FY25 and into FY26.
Net inflows from financing activities of $5.3M (1H24: outflow of $1.1M) reflected the refinancing of the capital
structure in June with the addition of NatWest and NHN facilities which have significantly bolstered liquidity. Loan
repayments of $0.9M (1H24: $0) included the scheduled quarterly instalment of the prior NHN loan before the
amendments in June. Finance costs over the period increased to $0.6M (1H24: $0.5M), reflecting higher average
borrowings as well as the additional IFRS16 lease interest from the new head office move.
Outlook
Bango remain on track to deliver FY25 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in line with market expectations, with timing
of new DVM contract wins and the second half weighting of transactional revenues the key drivers of second-half
performance. As guided, we expect net debt will be temporarily elevated at the year-end due to the anticipated
working capital unwind and one-off costs. From FY26 onwards we expect materially higher cash EBITDA
generation, reflecting the structural improvements to our cost base and growing ARR. This positions Bango well for
sustainable long-term growth and we look to the future with confidence.
