What did Megaport report?

  • Secured three major contracts with total contract value (TCV) of USD$182.9 million (AUD$254.0 million)
  • Annualised Recurring Revenue (ARR) from new contracts estimated at USD$65.2 million (AUD$90.6 million)
  • Contracts span fixed terms: two for 36 months, one for 24 months
  • Requires approximately USD$101.0 million (AUD$140.3 million) in new capital investment
  • Capex for customer contracts to be funded by existing cash and a newly upsized AUD$150.0 million debt facility

What else do investors need to know?

Megaport's new contracts are with two US-based technology providers powering AI applications. Notably, one customer is an existing client, highlighting opportunities for upselling on Megaport's global platform. The contracts secure revenue regardless of actual usage, providing predictable long-term returns.

To support these deals, Megaport will invest in high-performance hardware—mainly NVIDIA GPUs, compute, network, and storage. Deployment of equipment will begin in the first half of FY27, and by contract end, hardware will be reused within Megaport's Latitude.sh platform for ongoing revenue potential.

What's next for Megaport?

Looking ahead, Megaport has reaffirmed its FY26 revenue and EBITDA guidance for the expanded group, excluding these new contracts. Additional capital expenditure for the new deals could lift overall FY26 capex by up to AUD$140.3 million, depending on equipment delivery timing.

The company plans to provide more financial updates and performance details at its full-year results in August 2026. Megaport continues to focus on disciplined growth, aligning with strategy and shareholder value.
