LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
Dear Shareholders
On behalf of the Board, it is a pleasure to present the Raiz Invest Annual Report for FY26.
Strong growth in key metrics
Raiz delivered strong growth across each of the key business metrics in FY26 with total revenue up
21% to $29.2m and underlying EBITDA up 93% to $5.5m. Active Customers increased by 7% to
351,362 and Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) was up 13% to $85.87, reflecting the focus on
growing higher revenue products, as well as the fee increase implemented in August 2025. Funds
Under Management (FUM) was up 28% to $2.3 bn, driven by both positive net inflows of $219m and
market movements.
Increasing customer engagement
Over the past year, we have strengthened customer engagement with continued growth in high-value
products and the adoption of multiple products.
In Q1 FY26, we launched a new product range and platform enhancements, including Raiz Lite, a
low-cost entry plan for first-time investors and Raiz Academy, an online education platform designed
to boost financial literacy and customer confidence.
Our strategy to increase the lifetime value of our customers is working. Our customers increasingly
adopt multiple Raiz products and utilise recurring deposits, which remain relatively steady throughout
the market cycle, to grow their average balances, up 20% to $6,609.
Our best-in-class products were recognised by WeMoney with Raiz awarded Best for Round-Up
Investing and Best for Kids Investing, as well as two WeMoney Superannuation Awards for Digital
Innovation of the Year and Excellent Rates & Fees.
Accelerating execution of strategic objectives
On 1 June 2026, Craig Keary joined as CEO bringing a wealth of experience in financial services and
operational execution through the scaling process.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Brendan Malone for his dedication and contribution in
building the strong foundations of the business.
Under new leadership, our strategic objectives remain unchanged:
• Strengthen leadership and build team capacity and capability.
• Build and maintain strategic partnerships
• Deliver leading customer experiences
• Develop innovative new products and enhancements
• Optimise capital use
• Strengthen operational resilience, risk culture and governance frameworks
We are excited by the opportunities ahead. With a trusted brand, a growing customer base and a
united team, we are confident that Raiz is now well positioned to accelerate the execution of our
strategic objectives through expanding and enhancing our executive capability, leveraging our
strategic partnerships, implementing the brand uplift to drive customer growth, improving project
delivery accountability and actively exploring accretive M&A opportunities.
Under Craig’s leadership disciplined execution will be central to our ongoing success. Over the next
year, we will be taking a disciplined approach to investing in people and systems in order to
sustainably scale the business over time and unlock the growth potential ahead of us. Across the
organisation we are removing unnecessary complexity, building capability and focussing on what
matters most.
Raiz Invest Annual Report 2026 Page 5 of 92
We are committed to improving the financial wellbeing of all Australians and we believe that everyone
deserves the tools to build a better financial future, regardless of age, income, or experience.
Raiz has a solid foundation of Active Customers, Funds Under Management, a strong balance sheet
and market-leading products. We enter FY27 with ambition and a firm focus on accelerating our
growth trajectory.
None of this would be possible without the trust of our shareholders, the dedication of our Raiz team
and the loyalty of our customers – on behalf of the Board, thank-you for your continued support.
I would also like to sincerely thank my fellow Board members for their guidance and support
throughout a year of significant challenge and change.

Chair of the Board

LETTER FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholders
I joined Raiz because I believe strongly in the purpose of the business, the foundations that have
been established and the opportunity ahead of us.
Raiz has achieved meaningful scale, built a highly engaged customer base and made saving and
investing more accessible to hundreds of thousands of Australians. Our technology and functionality
help reduce traditional barriers to investing, while the strength of our customer engagement
demonstrates the relevance of what we offer.
My role and the mandate I have accepted is to build on these foundations and help Raiz realise its full
potential.
Central to this is ambition.
Our customers are ambitious. They are saving and investing because they want to create greater
financial security, achieve personal goals and build a better future for themselves and their families.
Regardless of how much they initially invest, choosing to begin represents an important act of
ambition.
Our shareholders are also ambitious for Raiz. They want to see us grow, strengthen our competitive
position and create sustainable long-term value.
Our people share that ambition. They come to work each day with a strong sense of purpose and a
genuine commitment to helping our customers improve their financial wellbeing. I have been
impressed by the passion for the business and the desire across the team to see Raiz succeed.
Our responsibility is to match this collective ambition with the focus and execution required to deliver it
and this is the shift I am driving.
To achieve our potential, we will strengthen discipline across the organisation, sharpen our priorities
and ensure that our resources are directed towards the areas capable of creating the greatest value
for customers and shareholders. We will continue building a high-performance culture, defined by
clear accountability, strong collaboration, consistent execution and an uncompromising commitment
to customer outcomes.
Strengthening leadership capability is equally important. As Raiz grows and evolves, we need the
right experience, skills and leadership depth across the organisation. Our leaders must be
experienced, aligned, make good decisions, take ownership of outcomes and create an environment
in which our people can perform at their best.
These priorities are not separate from growth; they are essential to achieving it. Sustainable growth
requires strong foundations, disciplined execution and an organisation capable of turning ambition
into results.
I am pleased by the strong alignment I have established with the Board and appreciate its support for
the mandate ahead. This alignment gives us a clear platform from which to make the decisions and
investments required to strengthen the business and pursue its opportunities.
There is much to build upon. Raiz has an established brand, engaged customers, capable and
committed people, strong technology and a clear purpose. We operate in a market with considerable
long-term potential as more Australians seek accessible and effective ways to save and invest.
The next phase is about bringing these strengths together with greater focus, discipline and ambition.
It requires us to challenge ourselves and consistently deliver on our commitments. It will also require
us to remain closely connected to our customers and ensure their needs continue to guide our
decisions.
I am looking forward to executing the mandate entrusted to me. I am ambitious for what Raiz can
become, for the outcomes we can deliver for our customers and for the sustainable value we can
create for our shareholders.
Raiz Invest Annual Report 2026 Page 7 of 92
I would like to thank our customers for continuing to place their trust in us, our shareholders for their
support and our people for their commitment and contribution. I look forward to working with all our
stakeholders as we build the next chapter of Raiz.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
GROUP OVERVIEW
Raiz Invest Limited ('Raiz') is a financial services company and a leading provider of micro investing services
through its award-winning mobile-first platform. The platform enables customers to save and invest seamlessly –
whether contributing small or large amounts of money via the Raiz mobile application or the Raiz website.
Raiz is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: RZI). Raiz had a market capitalisation as at 17 August
2026 of approximately $64.3 million.
Our vision is to allow all Australians to achieve financial well-being regardless of their situation. By providing simple,
intuitive, automated access to intelligent investment options and advocating new ways to think about saving and
investing, we’re giving everyone control over their financial future.
Following the closure of the Southeast Asia operations in the previous financial year (hereafter referred to as
‘discontinued operations’), Raiz and its controlled entities (‘the Group’) is now focused exclusively on the Australian
market, with its head office in Sydney. As at 30 June 2026, Raiz employed 42 staff on a full-time equivalent basis.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO ACTIVITIES
There were no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the financial year.
BUSINESS MODEL AND OBJECTIVES
Raiz operates a recurring revenue model, deriving income from micro investing products and services via the Raiz
platform. Additionally, the Group earns commission revenue through the Raiz Rewards programme, which
leverages the Group’s extensive customer and transactional data.
Raiz’s revenue is generated from four key streams:
Maintenance fees
Monthly fee charged to Active Customers with account balances below $26,000 ($20,000 until 1 August 2025) for
the Standard Portfolios, below $28,000 ($25,000 until 1 August 2025) for Plus Portfolios, and to all balances in the
Sapphire or Property Portfolios.
Account fees
Monthly fee to Active Customers charged as a basis point of FUM for account balances greater than the above
thresholds, and to all balances in the Sapphire or Property Portfolios.
Advertising
Commission income from advertising campaigns delivered to customers through the Raiz platform. The revenue
amount varies depending on the partner and specific commercial arrangements. Cashback earned from everyday
purchases made through the Raiz Rewards programme is invested directly into the customer’s Raiz account.
Netting & Interest
Netting: Raiz matches member buy and sell orders for the same spreads financial assets or Bitcoin (BTC) internally
and executes them off-market where possible. Raiz retained the spread between the internal allocation price and
the market execution price is recognised as revenue, in place of the brokerage costs that would otherwise apply,
with members receiving brokerage-free execution.
Interest: Income from customer transactional funds temporarily held due to ASX settlement delay and from
Company cash reserves including funds held to meet regulatory capital requirements. Interest income is variable
and influenced by transaction volumes, timing of settlements, prevailing interest rates, and the size of cash reserves
held.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Raiz delivered strong growth across each of its key revenue drivers in FY26.
Active Customers, FUM and ARPU
• Active Customers rose 6.7% to 351,362 (2025: 329,277)
• FUM increased 27.5% to $2.32 billion (2025: $1.82 billion)
• ARPU grew 13.5% to $85.87 (2025: $75.67)
Revenue:
Revenue increased by 21.4% to $29,223,000 (2025: $24,067,000).
• Maintenance fee increased by 26.7% following the successful execution of the price increase in August
2025 and growth in active customers.
• Account fees increased by 24.5%, driven by record FUM and strong netflows
• Advertising revenue decreased by 4.5%, reflecting a softer advertising market
• Netting and interest revenue increased by 9.5%, reflecting increased market volatility and the impact of a
higher interest rate environment.
Please refer to Note 2 on page 51 for further details on revenue.
Profitability:
The Group’s preferred measure of profitability is Underlying EBITDA (UEBITDA), which increased to $5,458,000
(2025: $2,831,000), an increase of 92.8%. The improvement was primarily driven by a 21.4% increase in revenue
to $29,223,000, partially offset by an 11.9% increase in underlying operating expenses to $23,765,000 (2025:
$21,236,000).
1 UEBITDA is a non IFRS measure which represents Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation Amortisation (EBITDA) adjusted
to exclude non-recurring items and share-based payments expense.
2 Active Customers are fee paying accounts.
3 Netflows represent the net movement of customer funds into or out of the platform over a period, calculated as customer
deposits less withdrawals, and exclude market performance, distributions and dividends.
4 Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is calculated as full year revenue divided by the average Active Customers, being the
simple average of Active Customers at the beginning and end of the financial year. This differs from the quarterly ARPU, which
is based on revenue and average Active Customers within a single quarter.
Raiz Invest Annual Report 2026 Page 14 of 92
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
• Sales and administrative expenses increased by 8.7%, reflecting higher variable costs that scale with
customer activity, usage and transaction volumes, and are incurred directly in delivery services to
customers.
• Underlying employee benefits expense increased by 26.7%, driven by an increase in headcount, reflecting
continued investment in building capability and capacity across product development, technology,
compliance and data functions. Statutory employee benefits expense increased by 34%, which includes
$661,000 of non-recurring termination benefits relating to the CEO-transition.
• Marketing expenses decreased by 6%, primarily due to the ending of the Seven West Media (SWM)
advertising contra arrangement. If excluding the SWM Contra, the spending in marketing increased
51.7%.
• Underlying professional fees decreased by 4.3%. Statutory professional fees increased by 40.2%, the
difference being a non-recurring $589,000 cost for options issued to Canaccord as consideration for
corporate advisory services and $82,000 of non-recurring CEO-transition costs which are excluded from
underlying results.
• Other expenses increased by 23.2%, mainly reflecting investments in a new CRM platform, and
expenditure on product development and data capacity.
Please refer to statement of profit and loss on page 37 and Note 19: Operating Segments on page 66 for further
details on expenses.
Statutory Net Profit/(Loss) After Tax (NPAT):
• The Group reported a statutory NPAT of $3,537,000 for the year (2025: statutory net loss of $365,000),
which is reconciled to the Group’s UEBITDA performance in the table below. The statutory results were
fully attributable to owners of the parent entity, with no non-controlling interests in the current year (2025:
$55,000 loss attributable to non-controlling interests).
