Fitell announces a $3.0M share buyback over 24 months funded from cash and operations, signalling capital return intent.

Fitell Corporation approved a Share Repurchase Program to repurchase up to $3,000,000 of Class A ordinary shares over the next 24 months. Repurchases may occur via open market purchases, block trades, or other means under Rule 10b-18 and will be funded from existing cash and future operating cash flows; repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock or cancelled. This moves cash from the balance sheet to shareholders and provides management flexibility without committing to a fixed share count.

The decision depends explicitly on share price, market conditions, regulatory requirements, and the Company’s capital position and liquidity needs, which the Company notes could change the program or stop it. The communication ties the program to a stronger balance sheet after FY25 results and highlights ongoing focuses including e-commerce, AI-driven robotics, and digital asset treasury management; those items are described but not quantified here.

Watch the pace of repurchases, actual cash deployed, and any quarterly disclosures for changes to liquidity policy over the next 24 months. Near-term signals that matter: announcements of completed repurchases, the amount spent versus the $3,000,000 ceiling, and any adjustments citing capital needs or regulatory constraints.

Taren Point, Australia, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fitell Corporation (NASDAQ: FTEL) (“Fitell” or the “Company”) an online retailer of gym and fitness equipment in Australia, today announced that its board of directors (the “Board”) has approved a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) under which the Company may repurchase up to $3 million of its ordinary shares over the next 24 months. The Share Repurchase Program is designed to enhance shareholder value and foster a stronger sense of community among our supporters.

Share Repurchase Program

With a positive outlook on our growth trajectory, the Board has approved the Share Repurchase Program of up to US$3,000,000.00 of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares over the next 24 months.

• Under the program, Fitell may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, block trades, or other means, in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The actual timing, volume, and execution of repurchases will be at the discretion of management and will depend on factors such as share price, market conditions, regulatory requirements, and the Company’s capital position and liquidity needs;
• Repurchases under the program are expected to be funded using the Company’s existing cash and future operating cash flows.
• All shares repurchased will be held as treasury stock or cancelled.
• The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of shares and may be adjusted or terminated at any time depending on market conditions and other corporate considerations.

“Following our FY25 results, we believe the current market valuation does not fully reflect Fitell’s operational progress and opportunities across our fitness operations and 2F Robotics,” said Sam Lu, CEO of Fitell Corporation. “We believe our balance sheet has strengthened and that now is an appropriate time to begin returning value to shareholders. The share repurchase program provides flexibility within our corporate treasury management framework as we continue to advance the Company’s long-term vision.”

Fitell Corporation remains focused on its near-term strategic goals, including our e-commerce operations, AI-driven robotics development, and digital asset treasury management.

The Company is furnishing a Form 6-K to the SEC concurrently with the press release.
