Commentary & outlook

•The past quarter included the material expansion of various existing customers and saw several new and important

tier-1 enterprise groups onboarded, including one the five largest engineering companies serving the electric utility

market across the U.S.

•The first phase of this contract includes supporting a 10-year network hardening program for an electric utility in

the South-West.

•Market development activity also featured training 325 engineers on IKE products and workflows at a major

investor-owned utility in the southern U.S.

•Operating leverage is in place via the scalability of our software and our disciplined approach to operating

expenses. Management and the Board remain cognizant of the importance to maintain a fortress balance sheet

position, anddriving this operational leverage to get to positive cash flow is front of mind.

•The outlook remains robustand we expect FY23 to be another significant period of growth. This is driven by the

estimate that $13-15m of our signed contract backlog will be delivered and recognized as revenue in the next three

quarters of FY23 (noting that the ultimate timing of these contracts is subject to the execution speed of our

customers).

•In addition, our sales opportunity funnel is strongand we anticipate a healthy run rate of new contracts will also

close and be recognized in the FY23 period.
