Spacetalk Turnaround Shows Results
Since CEO Simon Crowther took the helm at childrens’ wearables company Spacetalk (ASX:SPA), the company has undergone a dramatic turnaround.
In its latest quarterly announcement, for Q4FY24, Spacetalk revealed that it has achieved positive cash flow of $0.85 million (Q4FY23: negative -$1.5million) and positive free cash flow of $0.37 million (Q4FY23: negative -$2.24 million).
Under Crowther’s leadership, Spacetalk has effectively cut costs management and increased revenue. The results have strengthened its financial position and set the company up for future growth.
The core vision behind Spacetalk’s revival is to transform the company from a children's wearable business to the operator of an integrated ecosystem that provides families with safety and security at all stages of life.
“Having delivered a significant strategic and operational turnaround,” Crowther said. “We are now poised to focus on growth, in line with our goal of achieving $20 million to $25 million in ARR by 2026, setting us firmly on the path to realising our long-term objectives.”
Another important improvement in Spacetalk’s outlook is the successful renegotiation of its loan facility. The new terms provide greater flexibility and postpone repayment, enabling the company to invest in growth.
“This agreement is a testament to the confidence our lender has in Spacetalk's management, business model, and growth prospects,” Crowther said.
“We are committed to maintaining robust financial health while driving product innovation and expanding our market presence."
