Toku posts 1HFY2026 revenue of US$18.8 mil, up 13.0% y-o-y net loss widens to US$3.8 mil on higher headcount costs Catalist-listed Toku&rsquo s (SGX:TKU) revenue for the 1HFY2026 ended June 30, 2026 was up 13.0% y-o-y at US$18.8 million ($24.3 million), up from US$16.6 million in 1HFY2025. This is Toku&rsquo s first reporting period as a listed company after it went public on the Singapore Exchange on Jan 22, 2026. &ldquo During the first half of the year, we focused on strengthening the foundations of the business by investing in our commercial capabilities, product platform, AI roadmap and regional presence while completing the capital restructuring outlined in our IPO,&rdquo says Toku&rsquo s founder and CEO, Thomas Laboulle. Laboulle was previously CEO of GlobalRoam Group, a Singapore telecommunications company, from 2016 to 2018. Toku&rsquo s revenue jump stemmed from its usage business segment. Usage revenue grew to US$13.3 million in 1HFY2026, a 19.6% y-o-y increase from 1HFY2025 when usage revenue was US$11.1 million. Usage revenue as a proportion of total revenue is now at 70.9% in 1HFY2026, up from 67.0% in 1HFY2025. Toku says usage revenue went up due to higher enterprise messaging and voice traffic volumes across its platform, as well as the onboarding of new enterprises customers. While two other segments, subscriptions and licensing (US$3.1 million up 10.4% y-o-y) as well as professional services (US$1.2 million up 1.2% y-o-y) recorded positive growth, the two remaining segments, maintenance and support (US$1.2 million down 12.4% y-o-y) and hardware (US$0.03 million down 83.8%), saw their revenues shrink. According to Toku, the decline in maintenance and support revenue was due to the completion of certain legacy maintenance contracts. Hardware revenue, on the other hand, tends to fluctuate materially between periods as they are opportunistic and arise when customers consolidate equipment purchases within a wider tender, it adds. In terms of operating expenses, the company saw the biggest increases from marketing and advertising (US$452,360 up 935.0% y-o-y), professional costs (US$333,015 up 134.2% y-o-y), and headcount costs (US$5.13 million up 36.2% y-o-y). Toku says the increase in professional costs comes from continuing sponsorship fees, SGX listing fees and increased statutory audit fees. Headcount costs are up after the company added new members to its senior commercial leadership, expanded into the Middle East, and introduced a new thirteenth-month bonus accrual to employees. &ldquo The wider loss for the first half reflects the planned increase in investment that we communicated alongside our FY2025 results, including recurring listed-company costs and the deliberate front-loading of our commercial build-out to support the next phase of growth,&rdquo says Toku&rsquo s CFO Christian Wong. &ldquo The balance-sheet restructuring undertaken alongside our IPO is complete,&rdquo Wong notes. &ldquo The group now operates with positive equity, positive working capital, no borrowings and US$4.0 million of cash, representing more than double the balance at the end of FY2025.&rdquo Overall, Toku&rsquo s net loss widened from US$1.0 million for 1HFY2025 to US$3.8 million for 1HFY2026. After excluding residual listing-related professional fees as well as the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Grant for Equity Market Singapore (GEMS) that is recognised in Toku&rsquo s other income and other non-recurring items, its adjusted net loss for 1HFY2026 will be US$3.4 million, as compared to US$1.6 million in 1HFY2025. &ldquo As we enter the second half of the year, our priority remains the same: executing well, converting commercial opportunities into long-term customer relationships, and building a business capable of delivering sustainable growth over the years ahead,&rdquo says Laboulle. Toku shares closed 0.5% lower at 19.9 cents on July 27, 2026. |

Catalist-listed Toku makes enterprise AI push as it pursues growth over near-term profit The company sees strong demand for the technology aligning with its expansion across global markets [SINGAPORE] When customer experience platform Toku &ndash which helps companies manage customer interactions across channels &ndash was set up in 2018, it was less a single flash of inspiration than the culmination of several observations over time. Its founder, Thomas Laboulle, a Belgium-born Singapore-based entrepreneur whose company was the first to complete an initial public offering on the Singapore Exchange this year, drew on his experience consulting across industries. In that role, he saw companies struggle with fragmented customer data and disconnected systems that made it difficult to manage interactions in real time. &ldquo I was amazed by how siloed everything was,&rdquo said the Toku CEO. To address this, Laboulle set out to build a company that could unify these systems and streamline customer interactions. &ldquo When I explain how I came to start the company, there was no eureka moment,&rdquo he added. &ldquo It was a compounding of experiences that suddenly made an opportunity viable.&rdquo He also observed that while advances in technology could simplify parts of the value chain, incumbents were often slow to respond, as they remained tied to legacy systems and ways of operating. At the same time, Laboulle identified a gap in Asia&rsquo s enterprise market. When he arrived about 12 years ago, he was &ldquo quite surprised that there weren&rsquo t many native solutions&rdquo , with most offerings imported from the US or Europe and not tailored to local needs. &ldquo When you looked at areas like complexity, compliance and regulation, it became clear that enterprises didn&rsquo t have many suitable options,&rdquo he said. &ldquo The timing was right, the market was right, the technology was ready &ndash and that&rsquo s when I decided to take a shot.&rdquo From fragmentation to integration Today, the Catalist-listed company integrates telecommunications, messaging and artificial intelligence into a single platform, allowing businesses to manage customer interactions across channels in real time. By consolidating customer data and communication history, and connecting to companies&rsquo existing systems, it enables organisations to coordinate interactions across support, operations, sales and marketing. This gives teams clearer context and reduces the need for customers to repeat information. Toku currently operates in more than 30 countries across Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East, with customers including foodpanda, Gojek and Lenskart. AI is a core feature, although its role is often less about replacing human agents than improving how they work. Laboulle noted that demand for such capabilities is increasingly driven by clients, with AI features now appearing in almost all tenders the company participates in. Rather than focusing immediately on customer-facing automation, he said companies are first using AI to streamline backend processes &ndash such as generating summaries, categorising interactions and surfacing insights in real time. &ldquo There is a huge difference between manual record-keeping and a system where note-taking happens automatically&hellip The agent is no longer in charge of producing the summary, but to review and improve it,&rdquo he noted. This has led to productivity gains of at least 30 per cent for some clients. Beyond automation, AI is also used to surface insights. One example is sentiment analysis, where the tech evaluates factors such as word choice, tone and speech patterns to detect when a customer&rsquo s experience is deteriorating. This helps surface issues &ldquo that might not necessarily be noticed, especially by more junior team members&rdquo , noted Laboulle, adding that tracking how sentiment evolves helps assess whether issues have been resolved. Overcoming procurement hurdles Laboulle admits that one challenge is convincing procurement teams to take a chance on a lesser-known provider, with many facing a &ldquo mental block&rdquo over having to justify their choice internally. Early wins came through persistence and demonstration. &ldquo It was really about making sure that we got in the room, that we kept chasing the prospect, that we also delivered a lot of initial value,&rdquo he said. Over time, the company also leaned on its ability to meet regulatory and data localisation requirements &ndash particularly in Asia &ndash while building a track record that helped ease concerns among risk-averse buyers. Its Jan 22 Catalist debut has also strengthened its credibility. Said Laboulle: &ldquo It&rsquo s not any company that can go through a listing process.&rdquo This growing traction is reflected in its financial performance, although the company remains in an investment-heavy phase. Revenue rose 9.3 per cent in FY2025 to US$34.8 million, driven by higher usage and platform adoption. However, it remains loss-making, with net loss widening to US$9.1 million, largely due to IPO-related and non-cash items. Even excluding these, it would still have recorded a loss. &ldquo Building an enterprise software vendor requires a lot of investment,&rdquo said Laboulle, adding that the company is prioritising growth over near-term profitability. He pointed to expansion into Latin America and the Middle East last year as key drivers of that strategy. &ldquo We could have passed on the opportunities in Latam (Latin America) and Mena (Middle East and North Africa), but I think that for our ambitions, it would have been a mistake,&rdquo he pointed out. The aim, the CEO added, is to build sufficient scale across markets and clients while balancing growth with the path to profitability. &ldquo Once you reach scale, growth can become exponential,&rdquo he said, pointing to the platform&rsquo s ability to drive higher usage and revenue as it expands across markets. While he declined to provide a timeline for profitability, Laboulle said that it remains essential for procurement confidence, investor support and long-term sustainability. For now, the focus is on executing its expansion plans and growing its customer base as demand for enterprise AI accelerates. &ldquo There is a window of opportunity&hellip everything is coming together from a market and technology perspective. We are in the right industry, so the timing is excellent for us, especially with AI,&rdquo he felt. Looking ahead, Laboulle hopes that Toku will become synonymous with customer experience in Asia. &ldquo If people think of customer experience and immediately think of Toku, that would be one measure of success.&rdquo |

Toku&rsquo s CEO shrugs off AI fears after tech sell-off Toku (SGX:TKU) founder and CEO Thomas Laboulle says he is not too worried by the tech sell-off that swept markets last week. Tech and software companies such as IBM and DocuSign took a hit to their stock price last week following the release of a bearish report on AI&rsquo s risks by Citrini Research, a US-based market research firm. &ldquo That was an excessive movement right?&rdquo Laboulle told The Edge Singapore on Mar 2 after hosting the company&rsquo inaugural earnings briefing. &ldquo In terms of the sell-off itself, these are market movements that I think were not entirely rational. Let&rsquo s not forget that the valuations and the multiples are extremely different as well.&rdquo Toku went public on the Catalist board of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Jan 22. The cloud communications and AI-powered customer experience platform was founded in 2018 and is the first company to list on the SGX in 2026. &ldquo There is no technology in the foreseeable future that can replace enterprise software. That makes no sense at so many levels,&rdquo Laboulle says of AI&rsquo s impact on Toku. According to Laboulle, AI will not pose a threat to enterprise technology companies like Toku. &ldquo AI is a revolutionary technology, but it&rsquo s not a business on itself. What we are having here is an integrated platform that already addresses most of the aspects for customer experience and the mission critical communications that our own customers have to do with their audience.&rdquo Toku&rsquo s revenue for the FY2025 ended Dec 31 2025 was US$34.8 million ($44.0 million), up 9.3% y-o-y from US$31.8 million in FY2024. Toku&rsquo s revenue growth in FY2025 was mainly driven by higher usage revenue. Usage revenue makes up 68.8% of Toku&rsquo s total revenue in FY2025. It grew by 21.0% y-o-y to reach US$23.9 million in FY2025, up from US$19.8 million in FY2024. The company&rsquo s net loss for FY2025 was US$9.1 million, a 71.7% y-o-y increase from FY2024&rsquo s US$5.3 million. Toku says approximately US$4.9 million of the losses can be attributed to IPO-related expenses. Going public has bolstered Toku&rsquo s fortunes, says Laboulle. The company raised $16.25 million when it went public and had a post-IPO market capitalisation of $142.56 million. &ldquo We have been really running that roller coaster, and it' s been very positive, especially the brand awareness and the access. The pipeline has seen a very positive effect from the listing,&rdquo Laboulle says. &ldquo Overall, it is showing how serious the company is. Our ambitions [have] also [been] met with a lot of enthusiasm, not only from shareholders and the investors, but also from the prospects that we are meeting with.&rdquo |

Toku reports revenue of US$34.8 mil, up 9.3% y-o-y net loss widens to US$9.1 mil on IPO-related expenses Cloud communications and AI-powered customer experience platform Toku&rsquo s (SGX:TKU) revenue for the FY2025 ended Dec 31 2025 was up 9.3% y-o-y at US$34.8 million ($44.0 million), up from US$31.8 million in FY2024. Founded in 2018 by former GlobalRoam Group CEO Thomas Laboulle, Toku made its trading debut on the Catalist board of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Jan 22. It is the first company to list on the SGX in 2026. &ldquo Completing our IPO while operating with a streamlined team and disciplined capital allocation made this undoubtedly a challenging year,&rdquo Laboulle says of Toku&rsquo s FY2025 results. &ldquo These results reflect the resilient growth engine we have built. Looking ahead, our focus turns to scaling AI-driven capabilities, deepening our presence across APAC, and beyond, and strengthening the partnerships that will power our next phase of growth.&rdquo Toku&rsquo s revenue comes from five segments: usage, subscriptions and licensing, professional services, maintenance and support as well as hardware. The company&rsquo s revenue growth in FY2025 was mainly driven by higher usage revenue which hit US$23.9 million in FY2025, up 21.0% y-o-y from US$19.8 million in FY2024. Usage revenue as a proportion of total revenue is now at 68.8% in FY2025, up from 62.2% in FY2024. Toku&rsquo s net loss for FY2025 widened to US$9.1 million, up 71.7% y-o-y from the US$5.3 million recorded in FY2024. The company says in its earnings release on Mar 1 that approximately US$4.9 million of the losses can be attributed to IPO-related expenses. &ldquo These comprised fair-value adjustments on pre-IPO redeemable convertible loans, listing-related professional and regulatory fees, and accelerated share-based payment charges arising from the settlement of the employee share option plan,&rdquo says Toku in its release. Toku&rsquo s adjusted net loss for FY2025 is US$4.2 million, down 8.5% y-o-y from the US$4.6 million recorded in FY2024. The adjusted net loss excludes both non-recurring and non-cash items, as well as the non-recurring deferred tax credit recognised in FY2025. &ldquo The IPO has been transformative for our capital structure,&rdquo says Christian Wong, Toku&rsquo s CFO. &ldquo All convertible instruments have been settled, shareholder loans repaid, and our highest-cost debt facility is scheduled for early retirement in April.&rdquo Toku&rsquo s IPO raised a total of $16.25 million, giving it a post-IPO market capitalisation of $142.56 million. As part of the IPO, a total of 65 million shares were offered to investors at 25 cents apiece. Toku shares closed 4% higher at 26 cents on Feb 27. |
