IKE Delivers Strong FY25 Finish with 48% ARR Growth, Rejects Acquisition Offer.

Apr 22, 2025

IKEGPS Group Limited (ASX: IKE) reported a robust Q4 FY25 performance, with its annual subscription revenue run rate (ARR) surging 48% YoY to NZ$17.6 million. Full-year revenue rose 19% to NZ$25.2 million, driven by strong growth in high-margin subscription revenue (+34%). Gross margin improved to 69%, reflecting a favorable shift in the revenue mix. IKE closed approximately NZ$12 million in contracts during the quarter and added 1,300 new subscription seat licenses, pushing the total beyond 8,500, largely fueled by new multi-year deals with top U.S. electric utilities.

The company also revealed it rejected a confidential NZ$1/share acquisition offer (~NZ$165–170 million EV), citing insufficient shareholder support. With NZ$15.4 million in cash and net receivables and no debt, IKE remains financially strong. Looking ahead, the company anticipates >35% ARR growth in FY26, buoyed by continued North American market expansion and increasing adoption of its PoleForeman platform.
