Locate Technologies Limited ( (NZ:LOC) ) just unveiled an update.

Locate Technologies reported its first quarter of positive group EBITDA in Q3 FY26, with reported EBITDA of NZ$167,000 on revenue of NZ$1.80 million, up 15% year-on-year, and normalised EBITDA of NZ$275,000 as revenue growth landed against a largely flat cost base. The shift reflects strong momentum at Locate2u, where revenue jumped 42% to NZ$1.08 million and now represents 60% of group revenue, while Zoom2u revenue declined 11% but remained profitable and cash generative at the segment level.

Management highlighted a structural change in operations as AI was embedded across engineering, sales and product, enabling a move from weekly to daily software releases and faster delivery of new features such as an advanced routing engine, address-cleaning service and warehouse tools. After the quarter, the board authorised an on-market share buyback of up to NZ$500,000, signalling confidence that the market undervalues the business, while cash stood at NZ$1.1 million and Bitcoin holdings were maintained at 12.3 BTC with no new purchases or use of the existing equity facility.
