Vinyl Group ranks 27th in AFR Fast 100 on 94.6% revenue growth

Vinyl Group (ASX: VNL) ranked 27th overall on The Australian Financial Review’s 2026 Fast 100 list and second among ASX-listed companies, after growing revenue at a compound annual rate of 94.6% between FY24 and FY26.

Revenue rose from $4.97 million to $18.82 million over that period, which is total growth of about 279%, the company said on 10 November 2026.

The AFR Fast 100 ranks Australia’s fastest-growing established companies by compound annual revenue growth. It uses three financial years of revenue, verified by an external accountant or auditor.

Acquisitions and organic growth

Vinyl Group describes itself as an adaptive media and music technology company. It has expanded across publishing, advertising, live experiences, e-commerce, and music technology. Its strategy has centred on buying and integrating businesses, centralising operations, and building commercial products across its media brands and technology platforms.

“We have used technology to accelerate the development of Vinyl, build shared infrastructure and create new commercial products across our portfolio,” said Chief Executive Officer Josh Simons.

Acquisitions were not the only driver, Simons said. “Alongside our acquisitions, the business delivered approximately 30% organic growth in FY26,” he said.

Second consecutive year of recognition

This is the second year in a row Vinyl Group has been recognised nationally for growth. In 2025 it ranked second in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, where it was the highest-ranked ASX-listed company.

Simons pointed to the conditions the business had grown under. “Our team has achieved this while raising capital and integrating businesses as an ASX-listed microcap. In three years, we have built a group that reaches more than half of Australians online,” he said.

“This recognition reflects the resourcefulness and execution required to get here, and I am proud of what the team has accomplished.”
