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

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
