IODM Limited (ASX: IOD) (“IODM” or “the Company”), is pleased to provide an update on its’ United Kingdom Education (“UK Education”) segment revenue.
Pursuant to the exclusive revenue share agreements conducted with Convera in respect of the UK and EU regions, IODM is guaranteed a minimum monthly payment for the duration of the arrangement. The quantum of the minimum monthly payment is determined by the revenue threshold attained by the Company.
IODM has now achieved the revenue threshold necessary to activate an increase of the monthly minimum payment from GBP75,000.00 to GBP100,000.00. The threshold uplift was underpinned by an exceptional July 2025 performance where organic growth from existing Educational Institutions (EI’s) and revenue from new EI on-boarding collectively contributed to a 242% increase on the Previous Corresponding Period (“PCP”).
UK Education receipts for July 2025 in an amount of AUD$250k* exceeded the guaranteed minimum payment (AUD$150k*) by c.67%. Conversely, for July 2024 the Company received the guaranteed minimum payment in an amount of AUD$99k* as it exceeded actual performance for that month (of AUD$73k*). Pleasingly, the July 2025 result was achieved in what is normally a quiet quarter for EI’s in the Northern Hemisphere.
The guaranteed minimum threshold increase is effective from August 2025 and represents the 4th guaranteed minimum revenue threshold escalation since agreement inception. On an annualised basis, the minimum payment to IODM is now AUD2.39m*, an increase of 100% on PCP.
AUD/GBP Assumption - 0.5004
The Level 4 threshold escalation results in a 33% increase in the guaranteed minimum monthly payment to the Company with an annualised increment of c. AUD$600k*.
IODM CEO, Mark Reilly said:
“It is becoming overwhelmingly evident that the IODM Connect platform is not only pivotal in procuring initial university on-boarding but also underpinning longer term organic growth from on-boarded educational institutions.
IODM is ideally positioned to benefit from the upcoming traditional busy invoicing period in UK Education and the Company continues to increase wallet share through product and platform enhancements.

Investor Insight
IODM is well-positioned in the growing fintech space to meet rising demand for accounts receivable automation, with recent North American expansion underscoring its global scalability and recurring revenue potential.
Overview
IODM (ASX:IOD) is a cloud-based working capital management software solution designed to automate and streamline the accounts receivable function for universities, commercial companies and other enterprises. This platform facilitates the collection of payments, enhances client communication, and reduces manual workload. By integrating with existing accounting systems, IODM improves cash flow management and optimizes working capital.
A key strength is IODM’s capability to manage complex billing cycles, especially for international payments. As of 2024, the platform is used by ten UK universities, and IODM is actively expanding into North America, Asia, and Europe.
In April 2025, IODM signed a revenue share agreement with leading North American payment provider Convera, targeting the large and growing international student population in the US and Canada. This partnership significantly enhances IODM’s reach in the education sector, particularly with universities seeking more efficient cross-border payment solutions.

Key Product: IODM Connect
IODM Connect is the company’s flagship intelligent accounts receivable platform, designed to automate invoice reminders, payment collections, and cash allocation. Seamlessly integrating with leading ERP systems—including Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and Xero—the platform can be adopted with minimal disruption to existing financial workflows.
A key strength of IODM Connect lies in its ability to streamline time-consuming receivables processes. Automated payment reminders reduce manual follow-ups, while advanced cash allocation and reconciliation tools improve accuracy and speed. This is especially valuable for organizations managing high transaction volumes or cross-border payments, where complexities around currencies and methods can lead to delays and errors.
By simplifying these processes, IODM Connect enhances efficiency, reduces administrative burden, and enables businesses to focus on core operations while maintaining tighter control over cash flow.
Strategic Partnerships
IODM has established a network of strategic global partnerships that continue to drive its international expansion. In the education sector, the company has partnered with Convera (formerly Western Union Business Solutions) to streamline cross-border tuition and fee payments. This collaboration has been pivotal in securing IODM’s strong foothold in the UK and EU university markets and is now being extended to support growth in North America.
IODM has also partnered with Corpay (NYSE:CPAY), a global leader in corporate payment solutions, to support enterprise clients in industries such as manufacturing, transport, and logistics. These partnerships provide access to key verticals and geographies without requiring a large regional sales footprint.
By leveraging the infrastructure and client networks of its partners, IODM can scale efficiently, expand its market reach, and accelerate revenue growth globally.
Target Market: Universities and Enterprise Clients
IODM continues to target education and enterprise sectors with complex billing requirements:
- In the UK, IODM has onboarded 12 universities, including the London School of Economics and Coventry University.
- Through its partnership with Convera, IODM is rapidly expanding in North America, aiming to serve international students across the US and Canada.
- The platform simplifies tuition, accommodation, and ancillary payments while reducing administrative burden and currency conversion complexities.
Market Drivers
Growing demand for IODM’s platform is fueled by key trends in the education sector and among enterprises with international operations. A major driver is the increasing population of international students, particularly in regions such as Europe, North America, and Australia. Universities are under mounting pressure to manage cross-border payments more efficiently, navigating challenges like fluctuating exchange rates, diverse payment methods, and extended processing times. IODM’s platform addresses these complexities by streamlining and automating receivables, helping institutions improve the student payment experience while optimizing operational efficiency.
Rising inflation and higher interest rates have intensified the need for effective cash flow management across both the education and enterprise sectors. Timely and accurate collection of receivables has become essential to maintaining financial resilience. IODM’s automation capabilities reduce manual workloads, minimize errors, and accelerate payment cycles, making it a critical tool for organizations striving to enhance liquidity and financial stability in a challenging economic environment.
