Commentary and outlook

IKE CEO Glenn Milnes commented, "1H FY24 was a mixed period at IKE. Customer wins and

growth in recurring subscription revenue were strong, positioning the business well for the long-

term. However, transaction revenue fell for the first time. This slow-down was well signaled to

the market, with several major IKE customers in the U.S. communications segment having

network projects slowed, mostly with unrelated regulatory impediments. These long-term

customers are not lost, and have communicated that they expect transaction volumes will

resume and that the multi-year outlook for use of IKE platform is robust. As a reminder of IKE’s

business model, IKE generates additive transaction revenue, on top of subscription revenue, from

some customers as they engineer more network assets in our system.

In other areas of business development:

- Our next-generation PoleForeman product was released to market in the period, having

been designed with a customer council including the engineering standards leaders

from five-of-the-ten largest investor-owned utilities and the largest communications

company in the United States. We are optimistic that this new product will deliver

significant value to existing customers and to the wider market. Because of the

associated new business model and pricing, it is expected this product will drive an


2

additive $4-7m of annual recurring subscription revenue from the existing PoleForeman

customer footprint, so up to five-times higher than legacy product revenues.

- In 1H we acquired the assets of the Marne & Associates NESC compliance training

business to allow us to add more value to, learn from, and cross-sell our technology

products to end users via our expanded Training and Education business unit. The

expanded Training and Education business unit will also give us access to thousands of

industry specific engineers at U.S. electric utilities each year, and will strengthen our

position as a thought leader in pole infrastructure in the USA.

- We have seen continued expansion of various existing customers. Several new and

important tier-1 enterprise groups have been onboarded in the 1H period and we expect

more to follow in 2H. 1H customer wins included a North-East electric utility group

ranked in the top ten investor-owned utilities in North America, in a deal worth more than

$400k subscription revenue over the next three years. Another material win was closing

a contract with a national communications company for expected $1.5m+ subscription

revenue. This is supporting an assessment of more than one million distribution assets

in California, and cross-sales into other States are in progress.

Management and the Board remain cognizant of the importance of maintaining a strong balance

sheet position, and are focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet by managing costs

appropriately to align with revenue growth opportunities.

The long-term growth outlook for IKE remains solid, with key market drivers being the 20-plus

year requirement for North American electric utilities to build grid capacity & resiliency, and the

five-plus year requirement for communications companies to build fibre & 5G networks. IKE

solutions drive dramatic productivity benefits into these network engineering programs. We

anticipate that a healthy run rate of new contracts will continue to close in the 2H FY24 period

and beyond.”

About ikeGPS

We’re IKE, the PoleOS™ Company. IKE seeks to be the standard for collecting, analysing and

managing pole and overhead asset information for electric utilities, communications companies,

and their engineering service providers.

The IKE platform allows electric utilities, communications companies, and their engineering service

providers to increase speed, quality, and safety for the construction and maintenance of distribution

assets.

The core revenue engine for IKE is driven by the number of enterprise customers subscribing to the

IKE platform and the volume of assets (called Transactions) being processed through IKE’s

software.

-As signaled, revenue in 1H FY24 was below pcpdue to

timing delays of engineering programs across three of

IKE’s largest national infrastructure customers.

Specifically, this resulted in:

-Ongoing growth in recurring subscription revenue, but

-Lower reoccurring transaction revenue in the period vs pcp

-Overall, lower revenue in 1H FY24 vs pcp

-Importantly, the delayed long-term customers referred to

are not ‘lost’ and these groups are guiding for high levels of

IKE product usage over the coming periods

-In addition, the company continued to see ongoing strong

growth in recurring subscription revenue vs pcp

-IKE’s additive sales opportunity pipeline supports the

potential for substantially increased contracts and

revenue in the 2H FY24 period, and beyond, from existing

customers and new logos

•While IKE is a software & technology company, we have

established an important sales channel via education & training

capability. This acquisition further allows us to add value to,

engage with, learn from, and ultimately cross-sell our products to

end-users (who are the future decision makers) within utilities,

engineering companies, and communications groups.
