30 October 2025 ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Reaffirmed FY26 Guidance of $12m Cash NPAT
Loan Book Growth in Both Countries with Widening Risk Adjusted Margin
Secured Vehicle Loan Product Launched
Harmoney Corp Limited (ASX: HMY) (“Harmoney” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update
on its performance for the 3 months ended 30 September 2025 (“1Q26”), including reaffirming its profit
guidance for the current financial year (“FY26”).
FY26 Profit guidance reaffirmed at $12M
With both loan book growth and risk adjusted margins (margin after funding costs and credit losses)
growing in line with expectations, Harmoney reaffirms its market guidance of FY26 Cash NPAT of
$12m, representing a 111% increase on FY25.
1Q26 Highlights vs prior comparative period (“pcp”), being the 3 months ended 30 September 2024
(“1Q25”):
● Loan book growth of 8% on pcp to $833m, with the New Zealand loan book now also delivering
strong local currency growth through the quarter.
● Loan originations increased by 15% in Australia and by >50% in New Zealand with New
Zealand now also benefiting from Stellare®
2.0 following its implementation in June 2025.
● Net interest margin (“NIM”) on the loan book has increased to 10.3% from 8.9%, with new
lending NIM continuing at >10%.
● Credit losses remain stable at 3.8%. 90+ day arrears rose slightly from the 0.64% reported for 31
July 2025 to 0.77% at 30 September 2025.
● Risk-adjusted income increased 130bps to 6.5% from 5.2%, driven by widening NIM together
with stable credit losses.
● Secured car loan launched direct online, empowering customers to become cash buyers,
enabled by Stellare® 2.0’s “money in seconds” technology, no longer dependent on dealer finance
options.
● Cost to income ratio of 19%, in line with 19% for FY25, continues to be a stand out feature of
Harmoney’s business model, due to its highly automated Stellare 2.0 platform.
● Available cash reserves currently of $35m from unrestricted cash and loans available for sale
into warehouses. Expecting to complete refinancing of existing $22.5m corporate debt facility in
December 2025, on materially improved terms, including reducing corporate debt by $7.5m.
● Total Warehouse credit capacity ~$1b, providing funding headroom for growth.
● Further active investment funds joined the register, replacing an early series investor, with
Post-IPO investors now over 50% of the register.

Group loan book growth in A$ is suppressed by NZ$ weakening during 1Q26 from $0.93 at 30 June 2025 to $0.88 at 30 Sept 2025, reducing
the Group loan book by A$19m. This will not have a material impact on FY26 Cash NPAT. Cash NPAT Guidance of $12m has been affirmed.
Commenting on 1Q26, Harmoney's CEO & Managing Director David Stevens said:
"Harmoney remains well on track to achieve our guidance of $12m Cash NPAT for the year with strong
lending growth across both our Australian and New Zealand markets, with Australian originations up
15% on pcp and New Zealand originations up over 50% on pcp. It is particularly pleasing to see such
growth return to our New Zealand loan book, with the full implementation of Stellare® 2.0 in that
market during the final quarter of FY25 providing immediate benefits.
While the New Zealand loan book growth on pcp at 1% may look unimpressive, it is suppressed by the
contraction that occurred during the first three quarters of FY25. The annualised run-rate growth that
has returned to New Zealand this quarter on last quarter (4Q25) is now back over 10%.
A key strategic driver for implementing Stellare® 2.0, on top of enabling us to make viable offers to
more customers, was to provide a modern, agile platform to accelerate our product innovation. So I’m
pleased to announce that this quarter, only one quarter after completing our Stellare® 2.0 rollout and
migration, we have already launched our secured car loan product, leveraging Stellare® 2.0’s “money
in seconds” capabilities to provide customers with the flexibility to become a cash buyer, shopping with
a competitive pre-approved secured credit line, not dependent on dealer finance options. It is gaining
significant customer interest and I look forward to updating you on progress through the year as we
expand our educational marketing explaining the benefits of this innovative product to more
customers.
Net interest margin across the loan book has continued to expand, now at 10.3%, up from 8.9% pcp,
as lending originated at a net interest margin of over 10% continues to grow as a share of the overall
loan book. Our new lending margin has continued above 10% through the quarter.
Credit losses were 3.8%, up 10bps on pcp, with New Zealand credit losses up slightly from a
historically low base, but expected to flatten over the remainder of the year, particularly with Stellare®
2.0 now operating in New Zealand, already delivering lower credit losses in Australia where it has now
been operating for well over a year.

90+ day arrears are also up slightly to 0.77%, but remain very low at less than half the Australian
market average of 1.59%.
Cost management combined with our high levels of automation have enabled us to maintain our
exceptional cost to income ratio of 19% alongside loan book growth in both markets.
Harmoney remains extremely well-capitalised, with $35m of available cash reserves from unrestricted
cash and loans available for sale into warehouses, and has a total warehouse credit capacity of ~$1b,
providing plenty of funding headroom for growth. In December 2025 we expect to apply $7.5m of
these available cash reserves to refinancing our existing $22.5m corporate debt facility, and reducing
the drawn balance to $15m, on materially improved terms.
And finally, following on from our guidance-beating FY25 result and market confidence in our
prospects for FY26 and beyond, I’m delighted that during the quarter further new active investment
funds have now joined Harmoney’s share register, replacing another pre-IPO investor, with post-IPO
investors now comprising over 50% of the share register."
This release was authorised by the Board of Harmoney Corp Limited.
