That the AGM has been properly constituted. I'm joining you today from Sydney. I'd like to begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land, the Gadigal of the Eora Nation. I acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and region. I pay my respects to their elders, past and present. As you are joining this meeting virtually, and many from other parts of the country, I also pay my respects to the traditional owners of the lands on which you are participating from. I thank shareholders, proxies, and guests for joining us via the virtual meeting platform. All attendees can watch a live webcast of the meeting. In addition, shareholders and proxies can ask questions and submit votes.
In opening the meeting, let me introduce my fellow board members and the management team of Zip Co Limited, who are attending, including Mr. Larry Diamond, CEO of the U.S. Business and Executive Director.

Thank you, Tai. As a reminder, voting today will be conducted by way of a poll on all items of business. In order to provide you with enough time to vote, I will now open voting for all resolutions. Before we move to the formal part of the meeting, I'll make some comments on ZIP's performance for the financial year to 30 June 2023, and reflect on our areas of focus as a board. I'll then hand over to Cynthia Scott, ZIP's Group CEO and Managing Director, for her remarks, including an update on the company's current performance and outlook. A little over a year ago, ZIP announced to the market that in light of changing market conditions, the company's strategy would be recalibrated to focus on the core markets of ANZ and the Americas and accelerating the path to achieving positive group cash flow.
Over the last 12 months, we have successfully executed on each of our strategic priorities and exited financial year 2023 with the foundations for a stronger business and the platform for profitable growth going into financial year 2024. Group cash EBITDA, earnings before tax, depreciation, and amortization for our core markets improved in the second half by 55% on the first half, and we continued this strong momentum into financial year 2024. We recently achieved positive group cash EBITDA for the first quarter of financial year 2024 and are on track to deliver positive group cash EBITDA for this financial year. In financial year 2023, Zip also focused on improving its capital structure, launching two successful liability management exercises to significantly reduce our senior convertible note liabilities.
The liability management initiatives in December 2022 and June 2023 reduced the company's liabilities, and in July 2023, the terms and conditions of the remaining senior convertible notes were amended. These initiatives have materially strengthened Zip's balance sheet. In addition, we have continued to look for proactive opportunities to simplify and manage our cost base, including putting in place a small shareholding sale facility initiative in October. This provides liquidity to shareholders with relatively small shareholdings, as well as reducing Zip's ongoing costs associated with maintaining a large register. The company's success in executing against its strategic priorities has been, and will continue to be, driven by a dedicated and talented team of Zipsters. Our employees remain highly engaged, and in financial year 2023, Zip enhanced internal talent development by providing employees with opportunities for career growth and multiple career paths within the company.
Zip also continued its efforts to build a better employee experience, with initiatives that contribute to a flexible work culture and enhance employee well-being, such as our head office move to a NABERS six-star rated building in George Street, Sydney. As a board, we have continued to assess our performance and take the time to bring together the right mix of skills and experience to support the business and its strategic priorities. Through regular reviews, we assess the experience, independence, knowledge, balance of skills, and diversity of directors to ensure that the board collectively possesses the necessary expertise. Early in the financial year, Zip welcomed Meredith Scott to the board. Meredith has made a significant contribution to the board and is Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.
Zip acknowledges the value of diverse perspectives and intends to expand the independence of the board in line with growth in our core markets. Our board renewal focus remains on securing a credentialed US-based independent non-executive director. In August 2023, the board appointed ANZ CEO, Cynthia Scott, to the position of Group CEO, overseeing the group's operations and strategy. Cynthia joined Zip in November 2021 and has made a significant and positive impact since joining us. Cynthia will provide her CEO update and then speak to her credentials and experience later in the meeting when speaking to her election. In line with our focus on two core markets and to drive performance in those markets, Zip's co-founders, Larry Diamond and Peter Gray, assumed the roles of U.S. CEO and ANZ CEO respectively.
These leadership changes see the founders connected to the business as drivers of performance, product innovation, and culture in the two core markets. We also welcomed Gordon Bell, who was appointed Group CFO in September 2023, and we thank Martin Brooke for his near seven-year tenure as Zip's CFO. The board continued its strong focus on risk management and financial crime programs, alongside regular policy reviews and our regulatory and compliance obligations. Improvement in the risk and compliance maturity across the business and strengthening our business continuity and crisis management plans were areas of focus. We further developed our cybersecurity resilience plan, including the identification of vulnerabilities, assessment of our data management lifecycle, and conducted a simulation to assess our response and recovery capability. This remains an area of ongoing focus for the Cybersecurity Council, which meets monthly under Non-Executive Director John Batistich's leadership.
Zip knows that businesses with greater diversity achieve improved long-term success. In financial year 2022, we updated our strategy for diversity, equity, and inclusion, and our measurable objectives for gender diversity to include 40% women, 40% men, and 20% any gender by the 2026 financial year at all levels, including for our executive team and the board. In financial year 2023, Zip increased the percentage of women to 44% of its total workforce, including a lift in female representation across all management levels. Female representation on the board is currently at 60%. Zip has also monitored its gender pay equity across the organization since 2022 and published these statistics in its 2023 annual report. We are committed to fair and transparent reward and recognition for all employees.
Your company acknowledges that climate change is a risk to Zip and to people, customers, and communities around the globe. That is why we have been integrating climate change considerations into our governance, risk management, and strategy processes, which we published in alignment with the recommendation of the Financial Stability Board's Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, the TCFD, in our 2023 sustainability report. I'm also pleased to say that we continued our commitment to being a climate neutral organization, and our focus will be on maintaining Scope 1 emissions as close to zero as possible and continuing to reduce our Scope 2 emissions through an emissions reduction strategy. Zip has always been an advocate for appropriate, fit-for-purpose regulation. In Australia, we welcome the decision from Commonwealth Treasury to provide certainty around the buy now, pay later regulatory framework.
Of the three options considered, the option endorsed by the government was the option Zip supported, and we believe will provide clarity and consistency across the sector. Our existing business practices are already aligned with the proposed regulatory framework, and we believe this is a point of differentiation to others in the market. We have ten years experience offering fully regulated credit under our Australian Credit License and the National Consumer Credit Protection Act. As a champion of responsible lending, we already conduct full ID, credit, and affordability checks on our customers. In the U.S., we continue to maintain an active dialogue with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the CFPB, and our expanded relationship with WebBank, provides further regulatory support to the Zip U.S. offering.
As a financial technology company, we also understand the challenges of financial inequality, as well as the importance of financial well-being and financial inclusion. We remain committed to providing simple, fair, and transparent products that allow customers to take control of their financial future. We prioritize offering an appropriate level of credit and developing products that encourage responsible financial behavior. As cost of living increase, we continue to proactively review our credit settings to ensure customers have an appropriate level of credit and affordable repayments. We also engage with other industry participants, such as Financial Counselling Australia, to improve support for customers experiencing temporary hardship and practices to better serve vulnerable customers. We actively monitor financial well-being with monthly reporting on measuring complaints, customer repayment behavior, and hardship levels all being provided to the board.
To the directors and management team, thank you very much for your clear thinking and stewardship over the last year. To our Zipsters, thank you for your hard work and commitment to deliver on our revised strategy. Finally, thank you to you, our shareholders, for your ongoing support and trust. There are exciting opportunities ahead for Zip, and I'm pleased with how the team is executing its plan to support our mission, and we look forward to your ongoing support. Let's turn now to Cynthia for an update on the company's strategy, current performance, and outlook.
Thank you, Diane. Good morning, shareholders. It's a pleasure to address you all today at my first AGM as Group CEO. This morning I'll cover where Zip is today and where I see the opportunities ahead. A brief recap of our financial and operational performance for financial year 2023, and an update on first quarter trading, our priorities, and outlook for financial year 2024. Turning now to an overview of Zip's business today and how we're delivering on our mission. I'm delighted that as a group, we achieved positive cash EBITDA for the first quarter of the financial year 2024. This is an important milestone and a testament to Zip's execution of a very focused strategy to deliver sustainable, profitable growth. Zip is now a simplified and stronger business focused on two regions, Australia and New Zealand and the Americas.
These markets are at different growth stages, and they each have a distinct and important role to play in enabling us to deliver even stronger outcomes for our stakeholders and to capture our future growth opportunities. What makes Zip unique and differentiates us is our commitment to being a responsible lender and giving choice and flexibility to our over 6 million active customers and more than 70,000 merchants. Our commitment to providing fair and transparent credit is one of the reasons why customers choose our products and remain engaged with Zip. As a digital native company, we also have a proven ability to innovate through technology, to disrupt and create better customer experiences.
Our data and machine learning capabilities play an important role in credit decisioning processes, ensuring our products are the right fit for our customers and enabling us to safely process over 72 million transactions a year on our payments infrastructure. Our products give customers greater knowledge, access, and control over their finances to manage their budgets accordingly. It's this approach to financial responsibility and innovation that first attracted me to Zip two years ago. These principles are at the core of our business model and guide our decision-making and our relationship with customers, merchants, and other stakeholders. So moving now to financial highlights for FY 2023. Despite the uncertain macro environment, we did what we said we would do in financial year 2023, and in line with our strategy, became a simpler and stronger business, better positioned for sustainable growth.
We delivered on initiatives to improve margins, lower our cost base, and de-leveraged our balance sheet, including taking actions to reduce the face value of our convertible notes outstanding by more than AUD 312 million. We completed the exit of non-core operations and products, and we neutralized the associated cash burn. With a firm focus on our two core markets, we exited financial year 2023 with the U.S. business achieving cash EBITDA profitability, joining the Australian business, which had been cash EBITDA profitable for five years. Group cash EBITDA improved by AUD 103.2 million versus the prior year. Turning now to first quarter FY 2024 performance....
Building on the momentum of financial year 2023, and with a clear set of strategic priorities for financial year 2024, we reached a significant milestone, achieving a positive cash EBITDA result as a group for the first quarter of this financial year. Following a strong start, we now expect to deliver positive group cash EBITDA for financial year 2024. The improvement in guidance reflects the performance of the ANZ business, further momentum in U.S. TTV, ongoing margin expansion, and continued cost discipline. Group revenue grew by 31.9% for the first quarter, and revenue margins were 8.9%, up 140 basis points versus the prior corresponding period. Cash transaction margin improved 110 basis points year-on-year to 3.5%, demonstrating the resilience of the business model in a rising interest rate environment.
While we know the challenging external environment in our core markets, these results reinforce that we have the right strategy and team in place to be a self-sustaining business and deliver even greater value for our shareholders, customers, and merchants. In financial year 2024, we remain focused on the strategic pillars that we shared with you at our results presentation in August. Being growth and profitability, product innovation, and operational excellence. I'll now take you through some of the year-to-date highlights for each of these. In the U.S., now that the business is cash EBITDA positive, our focus is on driving incremental, profitable growth and scale and continuing to innovate for our customers and merchants, both in-store and online. In the first quarter of this financial year, America's TTV accelerated by 28.9% year-on-year, driven by profitable growth in higher margin channels.
We're deepening engagement with our U.S. customers, with transactions per active customer up 29% year-on-year, while maintaining solid credit performance, with credit losses still below our target at 1.3% of TTV on a cohort basis. I'm extremely pleased with the performance and momentum of the U.S. business, and having just spent some time in the U.S. with our team, I'm focused on the significant growth opportunity that exists in this market. With the total addressable market estimated to be approximately $12 trillion and BNPL penetration still under 2% of total payments, both online and in-store, this illustrates the sheer size and early stage of the opportunity that Zip is well positioned to capture. We continue to scale rapidly, deliver strong revenue margins, and demonstrate our ability to grow while maintaining losses within our target range.
This positioning us well for accelerated profitable growth in the U.S. In Australia, as a profitable business with strong yields at 17.4% of receivables and significant market share, we're focused on Cash EBITDA expansion and our next stage of growth, including through product innovation. As I touched on earlier, Zip has a 10-year history of innovation and disruption, and as a business, we're focused on unlocking new ways for our customers to pay and budget responsibly. In response to customer demand, we're excited to be launching our latest next generation financial services product in Australia, Zip Plus. This new product is currently being offered to a targeted cohort of existing customers, providing our most engaged and higher credit quality customers with the ability to access greater spending power and flexibility to manage their finances.
In line with our existing responsible lending practices, Zip Plus will be fully compliant with the regulatory requirements of the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, operating under our Australian Credit Licence. Zip Plus will sit alongside Zip's other core products in Australia, Zip Pay and Zip Money, providing customers with further choice and flexibility to budget and manage their spending responsibly. The product has been designed for a higher-for-longer interest rate environment and is expected to deliver revenue yield accretion from the second half of this financial year. We continue to make good progress on strengthening our balance sheet and the renewal of our funding facilities. In addition to the further de-leveraging of Zip's balance sheet and reduction in convertible note liabilities earlier...
convertible note liabilities, earlier this month, Zip successfully priced a AUD 300 million securitization issue with the senior tranche AAA- rated, which will be used to refinance a maturing facility and fund our Australian receivables. In addition, we also recently completed transaction to release restricted cash from this debt funding program. The collective impact of these actions is a net improvement to our available cash position. Zip remains well funded, with sufficient undrawn capacity and available cash to support the company as it achieves positive group Cash EBITDA this financial year. And now to the FY 2024 outlook. Following our strong first quarter performance, where we achieved positive group Cash EBITDA, we reaffirm guidance that we expect to deliver a positive group Cash EBITDA result for the second half of financial year 2024, and a positive group Cash EBITDA for the 2024 full financial year.
We're well progressed against our medium-term targets, with our revenue margin and net transaction margin in the first quarter of financial year 2024 at 8.9% and 3.5% respectively, well within or at the upper end of our stated ranges. These targets are unchanged from those that we shared with you at the financial year 2023 result, and our cash EBITDA guidance for the financial year 2024 was upgraded to reflect Zip's first quarter trading. Building on our strong momentum in the Americas, the expansion of our financial services offering in Australia and our strengthened balance sheet, we're well placed to capture our future growth opportunities.
In closing, I'd like to thank our wonderful team of Zipsters for their dedication to delivering exceptional outcomes for our customers and merchants, the leadership team for their focus and commitment to delivering on our strategic objectives, and our board for your guidance and stewardship. That's the end of my formal presentation. I want to thank you once again, our shareholders, for your continued support. I'll now hand back to Diane to go through the AGM's formal items of business, and I look forward to answering any shareholder questions later on. Thank you.
Thanks very much, Cynthia. We'll take any questions from shareholders on the chair's address or Cynthia's Group CEO and Managing Director's address at the end of the meeting.

That Cynthia Scott is elected as a director of the company in accordance with Clause 22.6 of the company's constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4. Cynthia will now address the meeting as to her experience and qualifications.
Thank you, Diane. I seek election as a director of the company at the AGM. I was appointed as an executive director by the board on the 24th of August of this year, and it's a privilege to be a candidate for election to the Zip board as Managing Director. I joined Zip two years ago, initially as ANZ CEO, and more recently, having been appointed Group CEO in August 2023. What initially drew me to Zip stands true today. A company that's innovative, puts its customers first, and has a business model underpinned by responsible lending principles. I'm firmly focused on ensuring Zip continues to execute on its sustainable growth strategy and delivers long-term value for its shareholders, customers, merchants, and Zipsters. I bring to Zip extensive experience in financial services, corporate strategy, capital markets, innovation, governance, and leadership.
Prior to Zip, I held a number of senior executive roles, including at Scentre Group as Chief Strategy and Business Development Officer, and at Telstra, in roles spanning new business, strategic finance, and international operations. I also spent over 20 years in investment banking, including as ANZ CEO of Barclays, and I've held a number of non-executive director roles, including on the board of Uniti Group and as chair of Foxtel, Telstra Ventures, and Autohome, an NYSE-listed technology company. My tertiary qualifications include a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of New South Wales, a Master's of Applied Finance from Macquarie University, and being a graduate of the Company Directors Course from the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Zip has a 10-year track record of being values-driven and delivering seamless and transparent solutions for its customers and merchants.
I'm excited to lead this next stage of evolution and work closely with the board, executive team, and our team of sisters as we execute on our strategy in our two core markets, and importantly, drive sustainable value for you, our shareholders, and other stakeholders. Thank you for your consideration.
Thanks, Cynthia, and also for all your hard work and achievements at Zip. The board unanimously recommends, with Cynthia abstaining, that shareholders vote for Ms. Scott's election. Tai, are there any questions coming through on this resolution?
No questions on this resolution.
Thank you. The proxies that have been received in relation to this resolution are now shown on the screen. I now put the motion. Shareholders can vote via the online portal. We'll now proceed then to item 3B. Item 3B is as follows: To consider, and if thought fit, to pass the following resolution as an ordinary resolution. That Larry Diamond, who retires by rotation in accordance with Clause 22.10 of the company's constitution, be re-elected as a director of the company. Larry will now address the meeting as to his experience and qualifications.
Thank you, Diane. Good morning and good evening, everyone, as I'm joining you from the New York office of Zip. As Diane mentioned, I've elected to re-retire by rotation, and as I am eligible, seek re-election as an executive director of the company at this AGM. As you may be aware, I co-founded this company along with Peter Gray 10 years ago now, in 2013. We founded the business on the belief that financial services and consumer finance, more broadly, could be offered in a more customer-centric way through leveraging the power of data and technology. We have since grown the company to become a leading player in digital financial services, with over 6 million active customers in our core markets and processing approximately $9 billion in annual payment volumes.
I have deep knowledge of the retail, technology, and financial services industries, with over 12 years of experience prior to founding Zip. I started my career in corporate finance and investment banking at Macquarie Capital and then later at Deutsche Bank. I have a Bachelor of Information Technology, a Master of Commerce major in Finance, and I'm a qualified chartered accountant. Currently, as you're aware, I'm heading up Zip's business in the Americas as the CEO in the region. We know that there is a significant population of underserved customers amongst the 250 million adult Americans who are looking for access to fair and affordable credit. I hope to build on our operating success in ANZ, porting that knowledge and IP to the U.S. as we meet the needs of both merchants and consumers.
I'm extremely proud of what Zip has pioneered and achieved over the last 10 years and, of course, grateful for the support from our shareholders since listing in 2015. As a director of our company, I remain committed to guiding Zip on its pathway to providing simpler, fairer, and more flexible credit products to our customers as they take control of their financial future. I also remain committed to supporting the company in driving total shareholder returns to our shareholder base as we deliver on our strategic roadmap. Thank you again for the opportunity to speak today.
Thank you, Larry, and thank you for your continued commitment to Zip. The board unanimously recommends, with Larry abstaining, that shareholders vote for Mr. Diamond's re-election. Tai, do we have any questions on this resolution?
