ASX: WRK ASX ANNOUNCEMENT · 30 OCT 2026 Appendix 4C & Quarterly Activity Report Wrkr Ltd ASX WRK, Wrkr or the Company) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C and Quarterly Activity Report for the quarter ended 30 September 2026. Record volumes on the new Wrkr platform in the first quarter of Payday Super Metric 30 Jun (Q4) 30 Sep (Q1) Growth Rate 21 Oct Active orgs 31.8k 67.0k 111% 71.1k Registered TFNs 1.60m 2.43m 53% 2.64m Contributing TFNs 0.42m 1.23m 193% 1.41m Activation 26.1% 50.7% 94% 53.4% Orgs as % of 111k contracted 29% 60% 107% 64% ARR (estimate based on last month of quarter) $13.4m $17.0m 27% N/A Annual Recurring Revenue ARR is calculated by annualising the recurring revenue generated across all of Wrkrʼs services in a given month and multiplying that month's recurring revenue by 12. ARR represents the estimated recurring revenue over the following 12 months, assuming the monthly recurring revenue remains constant, with no adjustments for future customer growth, churn, or changes in pricing or transaction volumes. The 30 September figure is unaudited. Activation, the lead indicator for revenue, has nearly doubled ● The share of registered members with contributions flowing rose from 26.1% at 30 June to 50.7% at 30 September, and to 53.4% by 21 October. ● Momentum has continued since quarter end: active organisations reached 71,050, registered TFNs 2.65m and contributing TFNs 1.41m. More than $4bn has now been processed since the new platform went live. Cash flow to plan, with significant investment completed and higher-margin revenue to commence ● Net operating cash outflow was $4.1m. ● Spending followed the use of funds set out in the $12.0m August capital raise: customer onboarding, product innovation and growth capacity. Wrkr retained a large team of contractors to support scaling in Q1 (these costs will be removed throughout Q2. ● Q1 outflows were affected by timing: due to invoicing timing, Wrkr received no cash for new clearing house transactions; Wrkr does not expect outflows to remain at Q1 levels.

Strong balance sheet, fully funded to cash flow break-even ● Cash at bank was $14.6m at 30 September 2026. On current contracts and forecast transaction volumes, Wrkr is fully funded to cash-flow break-even, supported by planned cost reductions, expected R&D tax offset receipts, and Q3 & Q4 transaction volumes. Strong growth expected in Q3 and Q4 FY27 ● From November, Wrkr expects to commence processing contribution messages from the Superstream Transaction Network STN into the MUFG funds. This commencement represents more than 50% of expected transactional revenue and is expected to be completed in Feb-27. SaaS and transaction revenue is invoiced when employers make contributions, not when they onboard, so activation is the lead indicator for revenue. The new Wrkr platform, serving Wrkr Direct and MUFGʼs six funds, has now been tested at scale across multiple brands and customers of all sizes. We expect activation to keep rising through Q2 FY27 as the funds and MUFG move their existing systems to read-only, the first stage of decommissioning, after which contributions are processed only on the Wrkr platform. OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS From implementation to operations The team supported customer onboarding and bedded down operations under the new regulations while processing record contribution volumes. Highlights: ● Hypercare for six funds and our connected Digital Service Providers DSPs and payrolls, onboarding over 33,000 new entities through KYB, KYC, identity and bank verification checks ● Live-volume enhancements for Payday Super: payment timing, ATO stapling checks and member verification with MUFGʼs Aaspire ● Complex organisation payment splitting for franchise groups and other complex employers, and enhanced support for tailored, select and defined-benefit plans ● Enhanced fraud monitoring protecting employer payments, and a refined onboarding flow that reduces friction without weakening security ● Launch of NPP PayID on Wrkr PAY ● Real-time Better Off Overall Test BOOT checks in PaidRightʼs pay precision API, and new PaidRight clients in education and food processing Wrkr Ltd ABN 50 611 202 414 Q1 FY27 Quarterly Activity Report · Page 2

FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT Q1 FY27 financial snapshot $14.6m Cash at bank at 30 September $3.4m Cash receipts from customers ($4.1m) Net operating cash outflow ($2.6m) Strategic capital investment Feature development The August capital raise is bridging the timing gap between employer onboarding and transactional revenue, and funding the capacity to scale. Q1 spending followed its stated use of funds: extended hypercare and onboarding features for the MUFG fundsʼ employers; continued investment in PaidRight SaaS ahead of its integration with the Wrkr platform from Q3 FY27, and Wrkr PAY development including PayID; and two senior software engineers, a new Product Manager, annual remuneration adjustments and annual software licence payments. Figure 1. Wrkr quarterly operating cash flows Cash receipts of $3.4m (Q4 FY26: $6.7m) Cash receipts reflect the move from implementation to operations. Q4 included final MUFG implementation and data migration payments, now substantially complete, and $0.7m of annual licence fees that were paid early. No cash was received in Q1 for MUFG clearing house transactions. Underlying growth was strong: non-Fund Wrkr PAY transactional revenue rose 170%, float income rose $0.3m on higher contribution values and interest rates, the SMSF Hub continued to grow after Australia Post closed its services, and PaidRight contributed $0.7m. At quarter end, $1.03m of invoices were past their due date. These are not considered at risk: they are moving through large providersʼ internal approval processes, which Wrkr is working through jointly with them.

Operating payments of $7.5m (Q4 FY26: $6.2m) Operating payments reflect annual remuneration adjustments paid in September, the new engineering and product hires, and higher banking fees from PayID. Instant payments carry higher transaction fees and remove the overnight float, and Wrkr has built cost recovery into its commercial model. Operating cash expenditure Amount Staff costs $4.6m Administration & corporate $2.2m Product operating $0.8m Advertising & marketing immaterial Finance costs immaterial Related parties (directorsʼ fees) $0.08m OUTLOOK FY27 on track: reducing costs, bringing on gateway revenue Q1 front-loaded spend to accelerate onboarding while maintaining strong fraud controls. Next quarter we focus on reducing costs and bringing on gateway revenue. ● Revenue triggers: Onboarding has taken longer for some employer groups, and three developments address this. The November STN phase will bring all contribution messages from the STN to the MUFG funds onto Wrkr. Features for complex employers such as franchise groups are now delivered, and a refined onboarding flow reduces friction without compromising security. October was our largest month of user adoption to date, and pay events per TFN are in line with expectations. ● Lower costs: Wrkr is winding down the subcontractors who supported hypercare and data migration, aligning its structure with the operational phase, and rationalising development and test environments. We expect the network to stabilise after six months under Payday Super, freeing leadership time for growth. ● R&D tax offset: A significant FY25 offset is expected by the end of Q3 FY27, followed by the FY26 amount in mid-CY27. ● Fund pipeline: MUFGʼs acquisition of Grow Inc. broadens Wrkrʼs sales pipeline, adding funds with about 2 million members to existing MUFG fund opportunities.. These are pipeline opportunities, not forecasts: any engagement is subject to each Fundʼs own commercial decisions. Joint sales planning with MUFG begins this quarter. ● Non-Fund channels: Enterprise customers on Workday and SAP are awaiting user acceptance testing with pilot clients, and over 40 enterprises are exploring direct purchase from Wrkr. PaidRight continues to hit targets and retain iconic clients, and its real-time Workday BOOT integration has increased sales opportunities ahead of progressive integration with Wrkr.
