Visionflex Group reported a $999,000 cash outflow for Q1 2025 but bolstered its liquidity with $1.9 million in financing, including plans to convert $3 million of convertible notes into equity pending shareholder approval.
- Net operating cash outflow of A$999,000 for the quarter
- Cash and equivalents at A$1.4 million with $1 million unused financing
- Convertible note facilities totaling A$4 million with key investors
- Plan to convert $3 million drawn notes plus accrued interest into equity
- Equity conversion subject to shareholder approval at upcoming AGM
Quarterly Cash Flow Snapshot
Visionflex Group Limited has disclosed its cash flow report for the quarter ended 30 September 2025, revealing a net cash outflow from operating activities of A$999,000. Despite this operational cash burn, the company managed to increase its overall cash position by A$1.89 million, primarily through financing activities.
The company closed the quarter with A$1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, supplemented by an additional A$1 million in unused financing facilities. This provides Visionflex with an estimated 2.4 quarters of funding runway based on current cash flow trends.
Convertible Notes and Equity Conversion Plans
A significant highlight of the quarter is Visionflex's convertible note arrangements. The company has two key convertible note facilities totaling A$4 million, a $2.5 million facility with cornerstone investor John Plummer, fully drawn, and a $1.5 million facility with Adcock Private Equity, with $0.5 million drawn and $1 million still available.
In a strategic move announced during the quarter, Visionflex plans to convert $3 million of the drawn notes plus $0.25 million of accrued interest into equity. This transaction, supported by an independent expert's report deeming it fair and reasonable, awaits shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. The conversion, if approved, would reduce the company's debt burden and potentially improve its balance sheet flexibility.
Financing Terms and Future Outlook
The convertible note facilities carry an interest rate of 11.1% per annum, comprising the Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate plus a margin, with provisions to renegotiate downward if Visionflex achieves three consecutive cash flow positive quarters. The notes are unsecured and repayable 24 months from drawdown, with repayment terms extended for earlier draws.
While the company continues to experience net operating cash outflows, the planned equity conversion and available financing facilities provide a buffer to sustain operations in the near term. However, the ultimate impact on shareholder dilution and future cash flow improvements will depend on the AGM outcome and operational execution.
Visionflex has not reported any material changes to its production or cost structure this quarter, suggesting a steady operational footing as it navigates its financing transition.
Bottom Line?
Visionflex’s upcoming AGM decision on convertible note conversion will be pivotal in shaping its financial trajectory.
Questions in the middle?
- Will shareholders approve the $3 million convertible note equity conversion at the AGM?
- How will the equity conversion impact existing shareholders’ dilution and control?
- Can Visionflex achieve sustained positive operating cash flow to renegotiate financing terms?
