Chair’s Address
Firstly, I would like to introduce my colleagues who are here on stage with me:

director with experience across a broad range of New Zealand companies. I retire by
rotation this year and am offering myself for re-election at this meeting.
In the front row is our Company Secretary and in-house legal counsel, Maureen
Shaddick. Maureen has been with Rakon for almost three years.
Brent will introduce you to other members of the Executive team when he speaks.
I would also like to acknowledge the presence of representatives of our auditor
PricewaterhouseCoopers, legal adviser Bell Gully and the team from Computershare.

scrutineering the voting at today’s meeting.

I am very proud to be the Chair of Rakon Limited. Rakon is a globally recognised leader in the
frequency control product industry providing timing and synchronisation solutions for
equipment in the Telecommunications, Positioning, Space and Defence sectors.
In today’s world where technological changes are occurring at an ever increasing rate this is
an exciting but challenging industry to be part of.
Financial Snapshot FY2021
In the financial year ended March 2021, we built on the improvements recorded in the
three previous financial years. We delivered revenue growth and increased Net Profit and
Underlying EBITDA
1
predominantly from growth in the Telecommunications sector. The
steady improvement in Underlying EBITDA
1
has continued over the last five years, as shown
in the presentation slide. In April 2021 your Board indicated further improvement with
forecast Underlying EBITDA
1
in the range of $27 million to $32 million for FY2022. I can
advise today that we are currently tracking to the top end of this guidance range, but that
could be impacted by significant global shortages and increased lead times for inventory as
well as the continuing uncertainty arising from the Covid-19 pandemic affecting our
operations and those of our suppliers and customers.
Shareholder Value
Looking back at FY2021, we are pleased with the way the Rakon team tackled the challenges
and opportunities during the year and grew the business. We were also pleased to see the
improved performance and growth reflected in a significant increase in Rakon’s share price.
We kept our people safe and demonstrated the resilience of our people in maintaining
operations through the disruption presented by Covid-19. While in New Zealand, our
manufacturing plant has been able to operate as normal, except during the local Level 4
lockdown, our factories in France and India had to manage much greater disruption and
restrictions as the pandemic continued and resurged in those countries.
There is no question that the business suffered significantly in the first few months of the
year due to Covid. We qualified for the wage subsidy and it proved critical in assisting the
business to get through those first few months intact.
Ultimately, however, new opportunities also flowed from the pandemic. These were
captured by the company, demonstrating Rakon’s understanding of its industry and
markets, its agility and its ability to scale-up its operations.
In the latter part of the first half of 2021, we saw increased demand from our
Telecommunication customers. Initially this was thought to be the purchase of security

Refer to Note 5 of the FY2021 audited consolidated financial statements for an explanation of how ‘Non-
GAAP Financial Information’ is used, including a definition of ‘Underlying EBITDA’ and reconciliation to NPAT
Page 4 of 7 w w w . r a k o n . c o m
stock to hedge against Covid disruption, however this demand continued through the year
resulting in the 18% increase in the Telecommunications revenue reported.
In the second half, Rakon was able to respond to the world-wide TCXO shortage. Through a
combination of Rakon’s own proprietary chip, engineering expertise to adopt an alternative
chip, good inventory levels, industry connections and partnerships and ability to expand its
operations by building its own equipment, Rakon was able to meet both the early demand
generated by the TCXO shortage and then to scale up and commit to longer term orders. For
example, Rakon New Zealand’s production capability is now 40% higher than it was in
FY2021. Significant long term orders secured late in FY2021 are reflected in our forecast for
FY2022.
Strategy
Over the course of FY2021 your board and management undertook a strategy review. There
was a strong focus on determining the long and short term objectives, tasks and
deliverables to ensure Rakon could respond appropriately to future challenges. These are
monitored and progress is reported to the Board on a monthly basis.
Rakon continues to service four principal market segments: Telecommunications,
Positioning, Space and Defence and is a preferred supplier of most Tier One and Two
customers and other strategic customers in these markets.
Rakon’s particular strength is its industry leading Research & Development resulting in
products which meet the most challenging specifications and which are difficult to replicate.
Rakon works alongside its customers to develop solutions and enable them to advance their
applications and technology.
Rakon maintains its strong focus on Research & Development including further advancing its
nano-quartz XMEMS technology to support the development of next generation products
and to compete with silicon-based MEMS technology. Design-in wins using this advanced
technology, which significantly enhances performance, have already been achieved.
Our global operations are efficient and highly scalable. With access to low cost
manufacturing through our operations in India and our partners such as Siward and through
the Research & Development global centres of excellence, we are able extend the life of our
existing product lines and explore and develop new applications and technology.
We have highlighted these areas as strategic priorities and we are pleased to be making
good progress.
Some of the key strategic achievements the Board has endorsed over the last year and
which have been supported through securing new funding lines include:
The approval of business case for further investment in XMEMS
Page 5 of 7 w w w . r a k o n . c o m
The approval of investment in new, modern and fit for purpose premises in India
which also provide a platform for expansion of Rakon’s current operations.
Support of initiatives to enhance global capabilities.
Governance
The Board was busy in FY2021 supporting management in its response to the risks and
disruption arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. There were 16 Board meetings to provide
support to management and regular oversight of the business. Throughout the year, the
Board sought to take all practicable measures for the health and safety of its employees and
to maintain manufacturing, research and development and engagement with customers
across Rakon’s global operations. The resilience of the global team has been exceptional,
not only in responding to the challenges of operating in pandemic but also in responding to
the new opportunities that emerged during the course of the year.
We are committed to continuous improvement in our governance practices and seek to
ensure there is a sound framework for governance and risk management to support this
commitment. In our Corporate Governance Statement in the 2021 Annual Report, we
provide a detailed account of our compliance with the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX)
Corporate Governance Code. Key governance charters, policies and guidance are available
on our website.
At our last Annual Meeting in 2020, your Board undertook to review our Investor
Communications strategy. This is an ongoing exercise but we trust you have appreciated our
new website and greater options for receipt of investor news. Management has seized
opportunities to celebrate achievements, such as Mars Rover having Rakon parts on board.
We have also sought to understand Rakon investor perception and we have engaged
external expertise to assist with the refresh of our reports and presentations.
To secure longer term credit facilities to support investment in inventory and equipment for
increased demand, future proofing of existing operations and expansion opportunities,
Rakon entered into a flexible five-year agreement with a new debt provider, Tanarra Credit
Partners, while retaining ASB as its trading banker.
The improved NPAT and cash flow have inevitably prompted discussion of a dividend for
shareholders. Your Board believes Rakon should continue to maintain a conservative
balance sheet and consolidate its improving financial position as we manage ongoing supply
chain and Covid-19 related uncertainties and risks.
The Board appreciates the loyalty of its shareholders who have continued their investment
and recently joined the Rakon register and assures shareholders that if the forecast results
for FY2022 are achieved, and there is no significant capital requirement on the horizon, we
will pay a dividend in respect of the 2022 year.
I note that in the current year, to maintain the growth trajectory we are on, we have several
projects that will require approximately $20 million of expenditure over and above our
Page 6 of 7 w w w . r a k o n . c o m
normal levels. These include our new India factory, XMEMS and NewSpace development.
Brent will go into more detail on these in his presentation.
The Board is aware some shareholders have promoted the concept of a share buyback and
Directors appreciate this is another tool that can be used to reward shareholders. Again, we
reiterate that for the time being Directors believe it is prudent to maintain a conservative
balance sheet and our current preference for rewarding shareholders would be by way of
dividend.
The Board was pleased to see the Rakon share price improve in the last quarter of FY2021 as
the market began to recognise Rakon’s steady improvement in performance, its ability to
quickly capture opportunity and its inherent potential.
Your Board and management have worked very hard to regain investor trust after our failed
foray in to China to compete in the smart phone GPS market. After five years of hard work,
we have now reached the position where we believe we have a long term sustainable base,
underpinning our future profitability. We look forward to investor confidence in Rakon
continuing to grow.
Later in the meeting, you will be invited to vote on two resolutions in relation to the Board.
The first relates to my re-election as a director of Rakon while the second relates to an
increase in the level of directors’ fees.
As you are aware, I have been on the Board of Rakon for 16 years and some people believe
that may be too long. My particular focus since I assumed the position of Chair three years
ago has been to see the company return to a positive performance trajectory. As
demonstrated in our FY2021 results, which again showed an improvement on the previous
year, and our forecast for FY2022, it does appear we are achieving that goal. I believe the
company is in a good position to sustain this positive performance. My focus now is on
ensuring a steady and careful transition of my tenure as a director and Chair and a
consequent review and refresh of the skills and experience required at the Board table to
guide the company through its next phase. It is not my expectation that this transition
process should take a full term of three years and I will formally announce my retirement
when the Board is satisfied we have completed our succession planning.
The other resolution proposing an increase in directors’ fees also aligns with the succession
planning of the Board. The Board believes fair and competitive fees are essential in
attracting and retaining directors who have the skills and experience necessary to govern
the company. It was timely after 15 years to determine whether Rakon directors’ fees were
consistent with those being offered by listed companies with a similar scope of
responsibilities and of a similar size and performance. As a result of that review we have
presented a proposal to increase Rakon directors’ fees at today’s meeting.
On behalf of the Board I would like to thank the Rakon Executive and employees here in
Auckland, in India, France and the UK and in our sales offices around the world for the
Page 7 of 7 w w w . r a k o n . c o m
excellent results achieved in FY2021 and expected in FY2022; your loyalty, commitment and
hard work for Rakon is appreciated. A special thank you to all our global teams for whom
the daily impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on their lives continues more directly than for
those of us based in New Zealand.
Also, thank you to our technology partners Siward whose representatives unfortunately
cannot be with us here today but who continue to work closely with the Rakon team. While
Siward have recently reduced their holding in Rakon, Siward remain a substantial
shareholder and have confirmed their commitment as a long term investor and technology
partner.
And, thank you, to you our shareholders, for your continued support. I assure you the Board
is very focused on acting in the best interest of the company and improving shareholder
value and return.
I now invite Brent Robinson to provide further commentary on the company’s performance
and a business update and later after a time for questions I will address the formal
resolutions of the meeting.
