What did Nuix Limited report?

  • Annualised Contract Value (ACV): $260.0 million, up 13.9%
  • Nuix Neo ACV: $78.5 million, up 179%, now 30% of total ACV
  • Revenue: $263.2 million, up 18.8%
  • Adjusted Management EBITDA: $59.8 million, up 60.4%
  • Statutory NPAT: $16.4 million, swinging positive from a $9.2 million loss
  • Underlying cash flow: $51.0 million, up 154%

What else do investors need to know?

Integration of the Linkurious acquisition is progressing well, delivering early commercial wins and enhancing the value proposition of Nuix Neo by combining analytics with network visualisation. The Linkurious transaction contributed $12 million in ACV and $3.8 million to revenue.

Nuix also noted the dismissal of all ASIC claims against the company and former directors. The ASIC appeal now only involves the company and is still pending, but the dismissal for individual directors is final.

Strategically, Nuix has shifted its go-to-market approach to focus on platform value rather than feature selling, and has realigned its product and technology teams. The company is also embedding AI throughout operations to drive productivity and new revenue opportunities.

What did Nuix Ltd management say?

Nuix Chief Executive Officer John Ruthven commented:

FY26 was a year of profitable growth and decisive action. Financial performance was robust across key metrics, with ACV within our guided range, material increases in profitability and a substantial lift in cash generation. Nuix Neo continues to scale as the primary engine of profitable growth. During the year, we made the structural changes required to shift from feature selling to platform value. We have restructured our go-to-market with enhanced commercial capability, established a clear AI strategy, and unified product and technology, backed by a one-off R&D Accelerator investment in FY27.

These were decisive actions to position the Company to capture a significantly larger addressable market. Looking ahead to FY27, we are building on continued underlying momentum. With enhanced commercial capability in place, continued investment in platform and AI capabilities, and a clear strategy for profitable growth, we are well positioned to capture the significant opportunity ahead.

What's next for Nuix Ltd?

Looking to FY27, Nuix is targeting ACV between $285 million and $300 million, with strong Nuix Neo growth expected from new and existing customers. The company anticipates similar Adjusted Management EBITDA as FY26, balancing operational leverage against a one-off $15 million R&D Accelerator investment to strengthen the platform.

Growth is expected to be weighted to the second half of FY27, in line with usual renewal cycles and upsell opportunities. Nuix will continue investing in AI and cloud capabilities to drive innovation and expand its addressable market.
