Commentary and results for the year
Delivering on Strategy and Outperforming Expectations
XRG's achievements in FY24, particularly in validating and expanding the Operator XR software products, underscore a pivotal year of strategic execution and market penetration. The company not only met but also surpassed its strategic milestones, demonstrating effective growth management and the appeal of its innovative solutions in global markets. This success has set a strong precedent for continued growth and innovation throughout FY2025 and beyond.
Enterprise Sector
Throughout FY2024, xReality Group Limited made substantial strides in expanding its customer base for the Operator XR platform. The year saw a marked increase in new customers, particularly in the U.S. and Australian markets.
The company is using 3 key indicators to track its success in the new sector; Total Contract Value (TCV), Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and total customers world-wide.
For FY2024 our TCV was $4.1m, an increase of 193% on FY23 (FY23 $1.4m). The ARR grew by 505% from $365k to $2.21m, and by the end of the financial year we had 29 customers around the world including Law Enforcement agencies, Military Units, Education and Training agencies and other government agencies.
Key Markets Penetration
The two key markets of focus have been Australia and the United States. Sales efforts have been concentrated on these markets.
In the first half of the year, the company focused on expanding its U.S. operations. Initial market engagement involved trade shows and selective customer interactions, leading to the establishment of a permanent Sales team and Operations unit and securing its first law enforcement client in Colorado. This early foundation paved the way for an extremely successful second half of the year where the company added a further 24 customers in the US across law enforcement and training organisations.
The success in North America has also carried through to the Australian market, with a major contract awarded by a state government agency in late June with a TCV of $810k (signed 3rd July). This State Government sale and a further Australian military sale valued at $317k ended the financial year contributing significant ARR into FY25 and beyond.
Other Global Opportunities
In parallel with the direct sales strategy in Australia and the US, Operator XR has now established a distributor network in S/E Asia and Europe through partnership agreements to market, deliver, and support Operator XR products and software into those regions. These arrangements are expected to commence to deliver sales in FY25.

Investor Insights
Serving the lucrative law enforcement market in the US, xReality Group’s Operator XR offers a unique value proposition that leverages a $3.37 billion global addressable market. If xReality Group’s impressive sales performance in the US to date is any indication, the company is definitely one to watch for investors.
Overview
xReality Group Limited (ASX:XRG) specializes in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and physical simulation for the enterprise, defense and consumer markets. The company’s primary focus is to provide physical and digital simulations for military and law enforcement applications. XR stands for extended reality and is a catch-all term for VR, AR, and mixed reality (MR).
The company was co-founded by two Australian military veterans to build physical skydiving simulators for both military training and the tourist market. The company has since expanded its simulation portfolio from indoor skydiving to include out-of-home virtual reality entertainment, defense XR training, and XR software development. xReality targets both the entertainment and the enterprise markets, which include defense, law enforcement, and other government agencies.
The company was listed on the ASX on January 18, 2013, as Indoor Skydive Australia Group (ASX:IDZ) and was rebranded to xReality Group on December 8, 2021.
It operates four major brands, and the group’s portfolio companies include XR production company Red Cartel, Operator XR, two Australian indoor skydiving facilities, and FREAK Virtual Reality venues.
The global total addressable market for the Operator XR business in the law enforcement and military markets is valued at about $3.37 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR). Of this, the United States accounts for $1.3 billion, or 40 percent of the total, while the rest of the world is $2 billion. xReality has rightly been focusing on increasing its presence in the US given its relatively high share in the global context.
The global military market is significantly higher than the law enforcement market. Overall, the military market is valued at $2.68 billion, and the law enforcement market is valued at $682.6 million. Here again, the US is a significant player accounting for the largest share of the global pie in both military and law enforcement.
