FY2019 Key Achievements
5G and its impact on Rakon
Existing 4G networks being upgraded to deliver 5G to
end users
Demand expected to continue for a number of years as
spectrum is released, technology developed and end-use
cases enabled
From fixed wireless access to home, through to the
eventual widespread machine to machine applications
including autonomous vehicles
Impact on Rakon during FY2019
Significant revenue and volume increase for products out
of NZ and India with Rakon designed into many Tier One
customers
Continued investment in the development of new products
to meet future 5G applications
Capacity constraints at Rakon India caused delivery issues
although monthly output has more than doubled during
the year
Higher revenue and market shortages of material impacted
working capital
8
FY2019 Key Achievements
Rakon India
100% owned and controlled since May 2018
Rakon India expanded to cope with growing demand
76% year-on-year growth in OCXO volumes
New design wins and increased share of Tier One
customers’ business
Additional floor area leased within the existing building
and layout streamlined
Investment in new manufacturing equipment
Growth in domestic Space and Defence business
Increased collaboration with India based engineers for new
product developments
Integration into the wider Rakon Group
New management structure in place enabling Rakon to
operate independently from previous JV partner Centum
Electronics
Investment in infrastructure and implementation of
enterprise resource planning software (SAP)

FY2019 Key Achievements
Siward: leveraging low cost manufacturing base
Siward has been successfully qualified by a
Telecommunications Tier One customer enabling
more Rakon products to be manufactured at
Siward
Rakon’slargest Global Positioning customer has
now fully qualified Siward as a supplier. Rakon is
now well placed to grow market share in this
segment
10
Market Update
11
Update
Strong growth this year with 25% USD growth in revenue
Rakon India delivering a lot of the growth, with Rakon increasing its share in Tier One
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for 4G & 4.5G mobile base stations
Rakon NZ also hadgood Telecommunications growth, andis now starting to generate
revenue from new products designed into the beginning of the 5G roll-out. Early
deployments have begun in Korea, China and the US
Outlook
Rakon expects to maintain and grow market share as 5G deployment gathers momentum
globally with the industry predicting at least a five year roll-out as the technology is
released in various phases
Core network equipment will need to be upgraded to support the 5G synchronisation standards
4G & 4.5G equipment demand is expected to remain firm in the coming years as 5G
transitions
Telecommunications
12
Update
Overall the Global Positioning revenue was down 15%
Our high volume Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) business is down due to
transfers of production into the Siward factory and inventory adjustments
Industrial high precision GNSS was down, particularly from the US agricultural and mining
equipment sector, due to global uncertainty
The emergency locator beacon market returned to long term average levels after the
bubble in FY2018 due to frequency changes
China GNSS revenue grew 50%
Outlook
A key design win achieved with an autonomous electric car maker requiring high
specification Rakon product
Competitive pressure from GNSS module makers in Asia which is expected to increase
price pressure in this high volume market
Siward enables more competitive pricing for the future
Global Positioning
13
Update
Defence USD revenue maintained the higher revenue levels of FY2018that grew 35%
Overall Rakon’s Space revenue grew USD 15%, due to the inclusion of Rakon India’s
domestic Space business
The European Space business was down as part of the market transitions to the new Low
Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology (New Space)
Key design win in New Space deployment achieved
Outlook
Rakon India is positioned well to continue growth, with localised supply into the Indian
Space and Defence markets
As the market continues to transition towardLEO satelliterequirements, we expect
demand to be down on traditional Geostationary (GEO) satellites. It will take some time for
revenue from LEO to replace GEO, however the potential from New Space is much larger
Defence spending remains strong
