- Placement raised $750,000 at $0.05 per share, exceeding initial $500,000 target
- Data Centre Security revenue grew from $1.6M in FY24 to $2.1M in FY25
- Secured over $3M in Data Centre Security revenue for FY26, including Microsoft contracts

Capital Raise Exceeds Expectations
TZ Limited (ASX, TZL), a global player in smart locking and data centre security solutions, has announced a successful capital placement raising A$750,000 at 5 cents per share. Originally targeting A$500,000, the placement was oversubscribed due to strong backing from existing major shareholders, signaling confidence in the company’s strategic direction.
Momentum in Data Centre Security Segment
The company highlighted significant commercial progress in its Data Centre Security vertical, notably securing multiple contracts for Microsoft data centre facilities. Despite global tariff challenges, revenue in this segment increased from A$1.6 million in FY24 to A$2.1 million in FY25. Looking ahead, TZ has already secured over A$3 million in revenue for FY26, with potential upside from ongoing tenders, underscoring the growing demand for high-security electronic rack locking and infrastructure protection.
Strengthening the Balance Sheet
To support its growth ambitions and manage working capital pressures from accelerated delivery schedules, TZ plans a debt repayment of A$2.75 million by year-end. This will reduce total group debt from approximately A$6.25 million to A$3.5 million. The company is actively exploring refinancing options, including invoice factoring specifically for Microsoft orders and potential strategic placements aimed at expanding its footprint in Asia.
Strategic Review of US Subsidiary Telezygology
TZ is also conducting a strategic review of its US subsidiary, Telezygology Inc., which focuses on tenant experience software platforms. After rejecting a previous sale proposal based on a multiple of annual recurring revenue (ARR), the company is engaged in advanced discussions that could increase Telezygology’s ARR from approximately A$2.7 million to around A$4.7 million. Interest from additional parties suggests ongoing opportunities to unlock value from this business unit.
Diversified Growth Across Three Verticals
Operating across smart locking and access control, data centre security, and tenant app platforms, TZ is positioning itself with a diversified revenue base and increasing recurring software income. This multi-vertical approach provides resilience and exposure to critical infrastructure and smart building markets globally, setting the stage for sustained growth.
Bottom Line?
TZ’s recent capital raise and contract wins lay a solid foundation, but refinancing and subsidiary outcomes will be key to watch.
Questions in the middle?
- What are the terms and timing of the anticipated refinancing or invoice factoring arrangements?
- How will TZ manage working capital pressures amid accelerated delivery schedules for Microsoft contracts?
- What strategic options will emerge from ongoing discussions regarding Telezygology’s future?
