The invitation (63 million placement shares and 2 million public offer shares) will raise S$16.25 million in gross proceeds, implying a post-money market capitalization of approximately S$142.6 million. Listing is scheduled for January 22, 2026 on SGX Catalist. At the IPO price, Toku is valued at approximately 3.4\u00d7 FY2024 revenue on a price-to-sales basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#012169\">Use of Funds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IPO proceeds are earmarked to accelerate growth. Key uses include funding strategic acquisitions and partnerships, expanding Toku\u2019s AI-powered 360\u00b0 customer experience (CX) platform, bolstering cash reserves, and repaying shareholder loans. This aligns with Toku\u2019s strategy to broaden its offerings and regional footprint through inorganic growth and R&D investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#012169\">Company Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Headquartered in Singapore and founded in 2017 (rebranded in 2019), Toku is an AI-powered cloud communications provider specializing in customer experience solutions for enterprises in Asia Pacific. The company offers an integrated suite spanning programmable voice, messaging, and contact center services, enriched by AI-driven analytics\u2014such as speech transcription, sentiment analysis\u2014 and seamless integrations into enterprise workflows. Toku positions itself as a platform purpose-built for complex, fragmented markets, differentiating itself from global competitors\u2019 one-size-fits-all products and local point solutions that lack comprehensive capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toku\u2019s IPO comes amid strong tailwinds in digital customer engagement across emerging markets. The Asia-Pacific CPaaS (Communication Platform-as-a-Service) market is forecast to surge from roughly US$9.0 billion in 2025 to US$56.4 billion by 2030, a testament to robust demand for cloud communications in the region. Similarly, the APAC cloud contact center sector is rapidly expanding (projected ~US$8\u20139 billion in 2025, growing fivefold by 2033). Enterprises are investing heavily in customer experience and AI \u2013 the global conversational AI market alone is expected to nearly triple from about US$17 billion in 2025 to US$50 billion by 2031 \u2013 which underpins rising adoption of AI-driven contact center solutions. Toku\u2019s focus on AI capabilities and compliance position it well to capitalize on these secular trends in CX transformation and automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#012169\">Financial Highlights and Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toku has demonstrated high growth, with FY2024 revenue of approximately US$31.8 million, up ~47% since 2022. This growth reflects strong enterprise uptake of its platform. While still in investment mode \u2013 net losses widened from US$4.0 million in 2022 to US$5.3 million in 2024 \u2013 recent signs point to improving economics. In 1H2025, revenue reached US$16.6 million and net loss narrowed to ~US$1 million as operating expenses were reined in. The company reports a robust order book of ~US$23.4 million entering 2026, indicating healthy demand momentum. Post-IPO, Toku\u2019s balance sheet will be strengthened by the new equity, with an expected free float of ~11% and key insiders and pre-IPO investors under customary lock-up (moratorium covering ~64% of post-IPO shares).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 25px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#012169\">Business Overview and Competitive Landscape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toku has built an end-to-end CX tech stack with regional depth. Its competitive edge lies in combining cloud communications infrastructure with localized deployment (in-country data processing for compliance) and AI capabilities tailored to Asian languages and regulations. Having proven its model in Southeast Asia, the company is now leveraging its \u201ccomplex markets\u201d playbook to expand globally \u2013 recently entering Latin America (15-country rollout) and the Middle East with large enterprise wins. Industry recognitions (e.g. Gartner \u201cCool Vendor\u201d 2025 in Composable Customer Engagement) validate its innovative approach. While Toku remains loss-making as it scales, the IPO proceeds are expected to accelerate its path to profitability by enabling growth initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 25px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kgieworld.sg\/securities\/resources\/ck\/files\/docs\/research\/Toku%20Non%20Rated%20IPO%20Note%20(Final).pdf\"> Read Full Report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/kgisg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kgieworld.sg\/researchstg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/subscribegif.gif\" alt=\"Subscribe Now\" class=\"wp-image-3937\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IPO Overview.
