As expected a strong q2 quarterly update from XRG .continuing to grow pipine and ARR.

no new large contract wins i ln Q2 and that is what i will be watching for going forwards- happy to hold currently

Investing for future growth- can revenue growth continue apace?

Funny i also watched that on ausbiz and thought the exact same thing! There in lies the opportunity. The Operator XR business is much newer than the old entertainment segment and anyone who looked at this business 12-24 months ago or more would miss the change in revenue streams! In saying that reading the quarterly report would have given that information- which he clearly didnt do before hand

(i wish people on aus biz would say i dont know instead of tryjng to bluff their way through- does my head in)

@Silky84 Agreed, this was a very good quarter for XRG. Obviously the strong cashflow is the first thing that catches the attention but this was known in advance with the large Texas DPS and DoD contracts coming through. But then reading the commentary these two contracts only contributed $3.2m of the $5.2m cash generated by the Operator segment. Even without those contracts it would have been close to a record quarter regardless.

With the commentary that an additional $2.3m was received in January from those contracts the 3Q is also shaping up to be another one of strong cash generation.

The only knock is it was a slower quarter for incremental ARR/new customer wins but after some thought I will give them a pass on that one. With the US Government shutdown and the lead up to Christmas holidays it was always going to be a slow quarter for new wins (particularly the larger ones). Given the big increase in the sales pipeline you'd hope a few good wins are not too far away!

@Wini , thanks for making your stock of choice to cover on The Call on Ausbiz on Friday, great wrap up of the investment case as always.

Oddly what I found mist insightful was Richard’s view, he clearly knew very little and only looked at it quickly. It was his fixation on the legacy Entertainment business that hit home as to why the market is missing XRG and may well do so for a while yet, Richard clearly missed Operator XR as the future of the business.

That tells me XRG doesn’t filter well, being a long-term listing and having the Operator XR business only recently starting to outshine the Entertainment business. A strong growth business with traction hidden in a no growth low margin legacy business that is going to be exited.

Another example of investors unable to cope with anything other than a one trick pony – goes into the too hard basket straight away.

It is easy to forget that perspective being someone who has looked at it closely and followed for a while now. A timely reminder as I question why the market has not reacted to the great business momentum that is underway.

@Tom73 To be fair to Rich I sent that through at 10.30 or so on late notice so he would not had had much of a chance to have a look.

But yes, I agree and made the point on Ausbiz as well. An underrated part of spinning off the Entertainment assets won't just be a healthy cash injection but also completely cleaning up the investment thesis. Also I don't think it would be taking up copious amounts of time/effort for the exec team but it would be nice to have 100% focus on OperatorXR.

No shade on Rich, I appreciate he did his best - far better than I could on short notice. He seems genuine and that's helped bring the issue home to me.

I think your right that a true re-rate of the business is unlikely until they spin off iFly, providing a strong balance sheet and clean company growth performance data. I am happy to wait, viewing it as a long-term hold, so there is no rush given iFly is cash positive and of little distraction for management as you note. Cheers @Wini

I agree, @Tom73

I always like when the market can't quite get its head around what its looking at. Once the iFly businesses is sol off it should be easier to get a clear sight at what the underlying OXR business looks like. To be fair, these guys aren't exactly great with communicating with the market, so it's not surprising many market participants are still in the dark.

Ausbiz (3/2/26)

Wayne (CEO) was interviewed on Ausbuz yesterday late in the day:

xReality sales surge on law enforcement and defence deals on ausbiz

Maybe that’s what has caused the price spike today +15% on high volumes, drawing attention to the quarter and saying next quarter’s cash is likely to be similar. Plus they have another 5 customers (up to 94 now from 89) this quarter already (which is half the previous run rate in just 1 month).

Wayne was as understated and laid back as ever!
