  • First-half revenue up 19 per cent to $24.1mn
  • Underlying cash profit of $4mn, reverses small loss of $0.2mn in 2023
  • Closing net debt of $5mn
  • Full-year cash profit forecast to increase 162 per cent

Specifically, DVM enables customers of telecom companies to manage and pay for all their subscriptions in a single place and on one bill.
