42024 ikeGPS Annual Report
Dear shareholders,
We are pleased to present the ikeGPS Group Limited (IKE) Annual Report for the
financial year ended 31 March 2025.
This has been another transformative year for our company as we continue to

• Subscription revenue of NZ$14.4m (+34% vs pcp).
• Transaction revenue of NZ$7.6m (+3% vs pcp).
• Hardware and other services revenue of NZ$3.2m (+5% vs pcp).
• Gross margin of NZ$17.4m (+37% vs pcp), with gross margin in 4Q of NZ$4.8m (73%).
• Gross margin percentage of 69% (up from pcp of 60%), driven by revenue mix continuing to
shift to high-margin subscription software products.
• Cash Operating Expenses were 2% lower than pcp.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss of NZ$6.1m (improved from pcp Adjusted EBITDA loss NZ$9.8m).
See table on page 13.

Market tailwinds
We believe IKE is in the right place at the right time, with market momentum being
one the largest factors that typically underpin growth-company success. Macro-
market tailwinds in North America related to electrical grid hardening and electrical
grid capacity remain highly supportive of IKE’s business and are expected to drive
growth over the next two more decades.
IKE products and the IKE team directly support the herculean engineering effort
required to meet the targets to double the capacity and resiliency of the U.S. grid by
2050, a task that is jointly-owned by more than 2,800 electric utilities and more than
2,000 engineering companies.
Today, eight of the ten largest electric utilities in the U.S. are Standardized on IKE
software for distribution network structural analysis, across a total of nearly 400
IKE subscription customers. We continue to win approximately one new customer
per week, with a direct sales & delivery focus on the largest network owners and
engineering firms. Our North American-based business continues to capitalize on
these significant sales opportunities. Key market thematic areas include:
• Continued transformation in the electricity infrastructure sector.
• Growing demand for efficient network digitization solutions.
• Expansion opportunities in these huge existing customers.
• New customer acquisition. Today, IKE has touched only ~6% of the addressable customers
in the U.S..
• Potential for further strategic partnerships and acquisitions, where IKE has had considerable
historical success such as with the growth of ARR IKE PoleForeman.
Strategic priorities
We remain committed to creating long-term value for all our stakeholders:
(1) Revenue growth:
Focus on expanding our customer base and increasing revenue per customer
(2) Product innovation and longterm differentiation:
Continue investing in our suite of technology applications, and delivering new products under the
guidance of the IKE customer council that includes the Standard Department leaders from more
than ten of the largest electric utilities in North America.
(3) Operational efficiency:
Further optimize a scalable cost structure to improve margin, profitability & revenue per
employee metrics.
CEO and Chair Commentary – FY25 // Year in Review
82024 ikeGPS Annual Report
(4) Market expansion:
Pursue strategic opportunities into winning new infrastructure customers.
(5) Talent development:
Attract, develop, and retain further top talent to support our growth objectives
Commitment to stakeholders
We remain committed to creating long-term value for all our stakeholders:
Shareholders:
By delivering consistent growth.
Customers:
Providing innovative solutions that enhance the operational efficiency of large infrastructure
owners. These customers are sticky by nature and therefore typically represent significant life-time
contract values.
Employees:
Creating opportunities for professional growth and development. Core focuses at IKE include the
principle of Talent Acceleration, and the core value of Open Company, No BS, and as such making IKE
a great place to work.
Communities:
By contributing to the communities where we operate.
Environment:
Helping to minimize our environmental footprint and enhancing sustainable practices for our
customers, in particular related to more efficient electricity & power distribution.
CEO and Chair Commentary – FY25 // Year in Review
92024 ikeGPS Annual Report
Outlook
Looking ahead to FY26 (the period beginning 1 April 2025) based on contracts in
place and broader momentum in the company, we expect our subscription revenue
to continue to increase strongly at growth levels of 35% or greater, positioning us
well for the medium and long term. We also expect to be approximately EBITDA
break-even on a run rate basis within the second half of FY26. It is of note that our
FY25 cash operating expenses reduced year-over-year while materially growing
subscription revenues, evidencing the operating leverage opportunity. The current
global tariff situation has no material impact on IKE’s business as a U.S. software
provider into materially all U.S. businesses.
We are confident in our ability to seize the growth opportunity ahead. Our
established market position, innovative technology platform, and dedicated US-
headquartered team provide a solid foundation for continued success. We wish
to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support and trust. We remain
focused on executing our strategic plan and delivering sustainable differentiation
and long term value creation.
Yours sincerely,

Key revenue and margin metrics
Takeaways
• Our blended gross margin profile continues to improve, with Gross margin
dollar growth of +37% vs prior year, and gross margin percentage growth to
69% in FY2025 vs 60% in FY2024. The increase in gross margin was driven by
improvements across all segments.
• Customer Adds: The Company added 72 new subscriptions customers during FY
2025 (15 in 4Q25), or approximately 1.4 new customers per week.
• Customer Losses: In Q4, approximately 40 small legacy PoleForeman customers,
representing total ~NZ$100k of ARR did not convert to the new IKE PoleForman
platform upon the Company discontinuing support for the Company’s legacy
application in 4Q25. We have recorded these customers as lost on the included
table, reducing our customer count from 420 customers at the end of 3Q 2025
and keeping our customer count flat at 395 year over year. We do expect some of
these customers will eventually adopt the new platform based on project timing,
and budgeting cycles, but note the average ARR lost from these customers was
under $3k per customer.

ikeGPS Group Limited (“the Group”) is a New Zealand company. Its shares are quoted on the New Zealand Stock
Exchange (NZX) and Australian Securities Exchanges (ASX). The Group became a foreign exempt listed issuer on
the ASX in September 2016.
On our website: https://ikegps.com/investors/ you will find the following corporate governance documents
referred to in this section:
Corporate governance statement
Under NZX Rule 3.7.1 and 3.8.1, NZX has a set of principles and recommendations, the NZX Corporate Governance
Code, that listed companies must report against. The overarching purpose of the NZX Code is to promote
good corporate governance. The Board considers that, as at 31 March 2025, the Company complies with the
recommendations set by the NZX Corporate Governance Code, except where it deems alternative measures are
more appropriate as disclosed.
Board composition and performance
The structure of the Group’s Board and its governance arrangements are set out in the Company ’s Constitution
and in the Board’s written Charter setting out the Board’s roles and responsibilities. The management and control
of the business of the Group are vested in the Board. The Charter sets out the matters reserved for our decision-
making, including (amongst other key matters) the establishment of the Company’s overall strategic direction
and strategic plans.
Management is responsible for implementing the strategic objectives, operating within the risk appetite the
Board has set, and for all other aspects of the day-to-day running of the Company.
The Board delegates the day-to-day leadership and management of the Company to the CEO. The delegations
are set out in the Board Charter and in a Delegated Authority framework, which also sets out authority levels for
types of commitments that the Company’s management can make.
The nominations and remuneration committee identifies and recommends to the Board individuals for
nomination as members of the Board and its Committees considering such factors as it deems appropriate,
including experience, qualifications, judgment, and the ability to work with other Directors.
Board meetings
Between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025, 9 Board meetings were held. All meetings were attended by all who were
Directors (or committee members) at the time of the meeting.
Board composition
The Board considers its composition in accordance with the institute of directors’ framework. The Directors
believe the respective skills and experience of individual Directors to be complementary, appropriate for the
Group, balanced, and reasonably diverse. The Group’s Directors have expertise and experience in strategy
development, executive leadership, acquisitions and divestment, technology, data, corporate responsibility,
governance, legal and regulatory matters, public policy, and finance (including the assessment of financial
controls). In accordance with the applicable listing rules, all directors are re-elected within three years or at the
third annual general meeting following their appointment.

relevant to the Group, the markets in which it operates, or to NZX and ASX listed companies generally.
Board performance

self-evaluation relating to Board and committee composition and performance. The Board believes

Remuneration of employees
The Group aims to have a remuneration framework
and policies to attract and retain talented and
motivated people.
The Company wants to:
• Be recognized as a great place to work, and attract,
retain, and motivate high-performing individuals.
• Align employee incentives with the achievement of
good business performance and shareholder return.
• Recognize and reward individual success while
encouraging teamwork and a high-performance
culture.
• Be competitive in the labour market.
• Be fair, consistent, and easy to understand.
Employee remuneration principles
The Group uses market data to determine
competitive salary and total remuneration levels
for all staff. The Group makes allowance for
individual performance, scarcity of skills, internal
relativities, and specific business needs. The Group
is operating in a growth industry and has a skilled and
mobile workforce.
The Group has a bi-annual performance review
process which supports and complements the
remuneration review process.
All employees have fixed remuneration. Selected
employees have the potential to earn a Short Term
Incentive (STI) and Long Term incentive (LTI).
Ethical Behaviour
Code of conduct
The Group has a Code of Ethics, setting out the
ethical and behavioural standards expected of
Directors and staff. Directors and staff are also
expected to uphold the Group's values.
Whistleblowing
The Group Code of Ethics includes specific direction
on action to be taken by a person who suspects a
breach of the Code.
Avoiding conflicts of interest

in Directors’ interests and any potential conflicts.
The register records relevant transactions and
our disclosures of interests. A current listing of
Directors’ interests is found on page 50.
Trading in securities

applies to both Directors and employees. The policy
details “blackout periods” where trading is forbidden,

times. Our Director's current shareholdings are set
out on page 51.
452025 ikeGPS Annual Report
Committees
The Board committees review and consider in The
Board committees review and consider in detail the
policies and strategies developed by management.
They examine proposals and make recommendations
to the Board. They don’t take action or make
decisions on behalf of the Board unless specifically
mandated to do so.
During the FY25 year, the Group’s standing Board
committees were the:
• Audit, Risk Management, and Sustainability
committee
• Nominations and Remuneration committee
Audit, Risk Management, and Sustainability (ARC)
committee:
Fred Lax (chair), Mark Ratcliffe, Glenn Milnes
The committee members are independent Directors
with the exception of Glenn Milnes (executive
director). Due to the diversity of the business
operations, it is deemed appropriate that Glenn
Milnes is a member of the ARC. In accordance
with the NZX Code, the Audit & Risk Management
Committee is chaired by an Independent Director,
Fred Lax, who is not the Chair of the Board. Fred
has extensive governance experience and has
been ARC Chair with other public companies. Mark
Ratcliffe sits on the Audit and Risk Committee as the
non-executive director with the requisite finance &
accounting skills.
The committee’s Charter is set out on the investor
relations website and is reviewed and updated every
two years, or as required. The committee met four
times in the year to 31 March 2025.
Management attends meetings only at the
committee's invitation, and at least annually, the
committee meets with the external auditors with
management excluded.
Nominations and Remuneration committee:
Mark Ratcliffe (Chair), Fred Lax
The committee members are independent Directors.
The committee met on two occasions in the year to 31
March 2025. This committee has oversight of matters
of recruitment, retention, and remuneration.
462025 ikeGPS Annual Report
Other committee matters
The Board will occasionally appoint a committee of
Directors to consider or approve a specific proposal
or action if the timing of meetings or availability of
Directors means the matter cannot be considered by
the full Board. Their deliberations and decisions are
reported back to the Board not later than the next
meeting following.
Takeover protocol
The Board has decided not to establish a takeover
committee or protocols documenting the procedure
to be followed in the event it receives a takeover
offer. The Board has determined that due to
the current size and make-up of the Board, it is
sufficiently independent and can manage a takeover
process and any additional issues effectively as a
whole Board, should it arise.
Reporting and disclosure
Financial reporting
The Board is responsible for ensuring the integrity
of the Group’s reporting to shareholders, including
for financial statements that comply with generally
accepted accounting practices. The Board’s ARC
oversees the quality, reliability, and accuracy of the
financial statements and related documents (the
ARC role is described fully in its Charter). In doing so,
the committee makes inquiries of management and
external auditors (including requiring management
representations) so that the committee can be
satisfied as to the validity and accuracy of all aspects
of the Group’s financial reporting.
The CEO and CFO certify to the Board that the
integrity of the financial statements is founded on
a sound system of risk management and internal
compliance and control.
Non-financial reporting
As a Climate Reporting Entity, the Group must
assess and disclose its exposure to non-financial
risks, including economic, environmental, and social
sustainability risks. Previously, this was incorporated
into the Comprehensive and Key Risk assessments
that we refer to under risk management. These
disclosures are made as part of the Climate
Disclosure section in this annual report.
The Group is predominantly an office-based software
company with minimal impact on non-financial risks.
Disclosure to the market
The Group has a written disclosure policy – the
Continuous Disclosure Policy, found on the Company
website (investor relations). It sets out requirements
for full and timely disclosure to the market of
material issues so all stakeholders have equal access
to information. The Board reviews and approves
material announcements. The Board specifically
considers with management at each Board meeting
whether there are any issues which might require
disclosure to the market under the NZX and ASX
continuous disclosure requirements.
Information for investors
The Group’s annual meeting will be held virtually
on Tuesday, 30 September 2025 (NZT). A notice
of the meeting and proxy form will be circulated
to shareholders closer to the time. The external
auditors, Grant Thornton, will respond to any
questions submitted prior to the meeting.
Risk management
The Group has an enterprise risk management
framework in place to identify, quantify and monitor
risks. That framework categorizes the enterprise
risks and sets out specific actions to effectively
manage each risk. Management reviews the
enterprise risk register. The Group doesn’t have an
internal audit function.
Health and safety risk
The Group values our people's health, safety, and
wellness, and we believe that everyone should be
able to work in an environment where risks are
managed and controlled. Management has adopted
health, safety, and wellness measures to address and
mitigate identified risks.
The Group is a relatively low-risk office-based
business. However, we do have employees
performing training and, in some instances, fieldwork
for customers. The Board is conscious of these risks
to employees and have viewed the actions currently
in place to mitigate these. The frequency of incidents
has been very low, so the Board has not required
LTIFR reporting to date.
472025 ikeGPS Annual Report
Auditors
The Group has an external Auditor Policy that
requires the external auditor to be independent and
to be seen as independent. The Board is satisfied that
there is no relationship between the auditor and the
Group or any related person at this time that could
compromise the auditor’s independence. The Board
also obtained confirmation of independence formally
from the auditor. To ensure full and frank dialogue
amongst the ARC and the auditors, the auditor’s
senior representatives meet separately with the ARC
(without management present) at least once a year.
Non-audit work
The Audit Independence Policy sets out restrictions
on non-audit work that the auditor can perform.
Shareholder rights and relations
The Group’s financial reports and corporate
governance documentation is available on the
Group’s website https://ikegps.com/investors/.
The Group keeps shareholders informed through
periodic reporting to NZX and ASX and through
its continuous disclosure. The Group provides
briefings and presentations to media and analysts
(which are made immediately available on the
investor relations website) and communicates with
shareholders through periodic reports, annual
shareholder meetings, as well as through a range of
releases to media on matters which the company
believes will interest shareholders and members.
The Group encourages shareholders to refer to the
investor relations website and to receive annual and
half-year reports electronically. Still, hard copies
of the reports can readily be obtained from the
share registrar, MUFG Pension & Market Services.
The Group takes care to write all shareholder
communications in a clear and straightforward way
and to limit the use of jargon.

572025 ikeGPS Annual Report
The intended users of this report include, but are not limited to:
• Our Leadership
• All Stakeholders
ikeGPS is a technology company providing engineering and efficiency solutions to those
involved in the above ground energy infrastructure industry. ikeGPS Group is headquartered in
New Zealand, with offices and employees across both New Zealand and the United States.
ikeGPS Group Limited is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange Main Board (NZX:IKE) and
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:IKE).
ikeGPS has yet to set an internal price for carbon and does not purchase or rely on any carbon
offset programme to meet our goals.
No employee or director has specific incentives tied to carbon initiatives or reduction targets,
instead these goals are included in our wider business plan and targets.
Assurance of GHG Emissions Inventory
McHugh & Shaw Ltd has provided external assurance on reported Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope
3 emissions for the period ending 31 March 2025. A copy of the assurance report can be found

582025 ikeGPS Annual Report
Base year
ikeGPS has used the financial year ending 31 March 2024 as its baseline year for assessing
appropriate metrics and targets.
ikeGPS will consider recalculating the base year if any of the following applies:
• if emissions factors changed substantially and were relevant to prior years (for example, if the
science behind a factor changed);
• acquisitions including if ikeGPS bought or sold a business; or
• any new law or regulation that comes into effect that results in ikeGPS having to measure any new
aspects of its value chain.
Governance
ikeGPS has initiated a Climate Risk Committee who will help establish how we can best impact
climate change within our Company and oversee the actions to be taken across the company
to impact climate change. This committee is comprised of cross-functional members with a
member of management as owner/facilitator/sponsor in each of our geographic locations.
The Climate Risk Committee provides periodic updates as to progress along our climate
journey to the ikeGPS Board.
Mark Ratcliffe is the Board sponsor for environmental reporting and action (on both the Audit
and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors)
Board oversight
The Board has the responsibility for overseeing strategy, which includes environmental, social
and governance (ESG) elements. It is responsible for setting and overseeing group metrics and
targets and for managing our climate-related matters.
Climate-related risks and opportunities are not presently considered on a stand-alone
basis. They sit within the broader risk management framework. The Board is responsible for
approving the risk management framework, which is used to identify, assess and manage the
Group’s risks (including climate-related risks).
The Board ensures IKE has an effective ESG Programme. As part of this, it oversees climate-
related risk management, monitors progress against climate-related targets and metrics; and
oversees compliance with climate-disclosure reporting requirements.
Risk and ESG matters (which may include climate-related risks and opportunities) are a
periodic update item, with reporting from the Climate Risk Committee. From FY25, there
will be dedicated reporting to the Board on climate-related risk, opportunities, metrics,
and targets.
The Board continually evaluates whether it has the appropriate competencies and skills to
oversee and govern the Company.
Climate-related performance metrics are not currently incorporated into remuneration
policies. However, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee sets and regularly reviews
remuneration policies and practices to ensure they are consistent with the Company ’s
strategic goals and are incorporated into short-term and long-term incentives.
592025 ikeGPS Annual Report
Management accountability
Accountability for the day-to-day management of ESG matters, ultimately sits with the CEO
and the Leadership team.
The risk management framework ensures climate-related risk and opportunity
identification, assessment and monitoring is consistent with other types of risk and
opportunity management.
In this regard, the Leadership team is informed about, makes decisions on, and monitors
climate-related risks and considers opportunities through:
• consideration of the risk management framework in strategy development, capital deployment and
funding decisions;
• regular reviews of top risks which may include climate-related risks; and
• development of controls, processes and practices to manage and monitor risks within the approved
risk appetite.
The Climate Risk Committee (CRC) further supports the day-to-day management of climate-
related risks and opportunities. It comprises executive and leadership-level sponsors with
the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as lead sponsor. The CRC is responsible for developing and
ensuring the execution of the ESG Programme. It reports to the Board on ESG-related matters
which may include climate-related matters.
•Overall oversight of all climate-related matters:
•Considers climate-related risks and opportunities (as part of broader Risk Management Framework)
when setting strategy.
•Approves climate-related metrics and targets.
•Ensures appropiate skills and competencies at the Board level to oversee climate-related
risks and opportunities.

Strategy and risk management
Scenario analysis undertaken
During the FY25 period we have reviewed our climate-related risk scenario analysis to ensure
the ikeGPS’s profile of climate-related risks and opportunities remains relevant.
ikeGPS has continued to use the climate change scenarios of the IPCC Sixth Assessment
Report as the basis of our assessment. Below is a summary of the scenarios
1
from the report.
ikeGPS has chosen the following 3 scenarios as the lenses through which to assess our risks
and opportunities. These are:
Climate-related risks & opportunities
At ikeGPS, we recognise that the global understanding of climate change and its
impacts is constantly updating and shifting as regulation, attitudes, and scientific data
continue to evolve.
Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSP) Scenario Summary
SSP1-1.9: The IPCC’s most optimistic scenario, this describes a world where global CO2 emissions are cut to net zero around 2050.
Societies switch to more sustainable practices, with focus shifting from economic growth to overall well-being. Investments in
education and health go up. Inequality falls. Extreme weather is more common, but the world has dodged the worst impacts of climate
change.
This first scenario is the only one that meets the Paris Agreement’s goal of keeping global warming to around 1.5 degrees Celsius above
preindustrial temperatures, with warming hitting 1.5C but then dipping back down and stabilizing around 1.4C by the end of the century.
SSP1-2.6: In the second best scenario of 2.6, global CO2 emissions are cut severely, but not as fast, reaching net-zero after 2050. It
imagines the same socioeconomic shifts towards sustainability as SSP1-1.9. But temperatures stabilize around 1.8C higher by the end of
the century.
SSP2-4.5: This is a “middle of the road” scenario. CO2 emissions hover around current levels before starting to fall mid-century, but do
not reach net-zero by 2100. Socioeconomic factors follow their historic trends, with no notable shifts. Progress toward sustainability is
slow, with development and income growing unevenly. In this scenario, temperatures rise 2.7C by the end of the century.
SSP3-7.0: On this path, emissions and temperatures rise steadily and CO2 emissions roughly double from current levels by 2100.
Countries become more competitive with one another, shifting toward national security and ensuring their own food supplies. By the end
of the century, average temperatures have risen by 3.6C.
SSP5-8.5: This is a future to avoid at all costs. Current CO2 emissions levels roughly double by 2050. The global economy grows quickly,
but this growth is fueled by exploiting fossil fuels and energy-intensive lifestyles. By 2100, the average global temperature is a scorching
4.4C higher.

612025 ikeGPS Annual Report
Climate-related risks and opportunities are identified and addressed as part of wider
organisational risk management strategies.
Our identified climate-related risks and opportunities have been assessed based on assumed
impact regarding both timeline and severity.
Severity
In looking at the severity of impact we have looked at potential business impact in line with the
existing risk management framework.
Climate-related risk is harder to quantify since undertaking this type of analysis is challenging,
involves grappling with a high degree of uncertainty, and, in many instances, has longer time
horizons than those considered in other contexts.
This leads to a higher level of judgement in attributing potential impact to a specific risk.
Timelines
In looking at the timeline used in our assessments we have aligned the short-term to a period
that aligns with our budget cycle, the medium-term to a period that reflects our long-term
forecast, and a longer-term which aligns with the longer-term product cycle.
Risks, opportunities, and transition planning
ikeGPS recognises the impacts of climate change across the globe. While our business is
fortunate to have been minimally impacted to date, we expect this to change over time, with
the level of impact depending on the global warming trajectory. Our climate-related risks and
opportunities are detailed below.

The preparation for climate-related reporting since the FY24 base year has led to the
upskilling of team members with climate considerations becoming more considered in the
business alongside investment in external support and advice. As ikeGPS continues to develop
our transition plan we have continued to invest in products that will enable our customers
to achieve further resilience and efficiency gains which will assist them in reducing their
emissions. This investment is in line with our core strategy and value proposition.

GHG Emissions Overview
ikeGPS’s emissions reflect that as a geographically diverse technology company serving a
diverse market (in the United States) we must undertake a significant amount of business
travel. A major part of this crucial activity is ensuring we remain connected to our customer
base. Our internal travel serves as a critical part of ensuring our team remains aligned on our
strategies with a mix of virtual and in-person sessions.
The carbon emissions have been calculated using the ISO 14064-1: 2018 framework
2
. Scope 2
calculations have used the location-based method.
GHG quantification is subject to inherent uncertainty because of incomplete scientific
knowledge used to determine emissions factors, the values needed to combine emissions of
different gases and estimation methods used to quantify activity data.
Emission Factor sources:
• Ministry for the Environment - 2024 Measuring emissions: A guide for organisations: 2024 detailed
guide. Wellington: Ministry for the Environment. MfE’s emission factors are based on the GWPs from

Performance against target
Initially, IKE has chosen to focus on an intensity reduction target as a ratio of tCO2e per $m of
total income. This choice was based on being a company in a growth phase. We aim to become
more efficient as we grow and move further along our carbon journey. We have an intensity
target of 5-10% reduction. This target has not been validated by an external party.
IKE has chosen not to rely on carbon offset in meeting our targets and has not factored any
offsets into our target.
Based on the performance in FY25, ikeGPS is on track to meet its FY26 reduction target. Long-
term targets have not yet been set and are currently being developed.

Data collection methodology and uncertainties
We aim to collate relevant information from the most credible and complete sources of
data to accurately calculate our carbon footprint. As such, the below data quality hierarchy
(highlighted below) was observed in order of descending preference when selecting data
for collation.
As we continue our climate reporting journey, we are committed to improving our processes
over time. ikeGPS is on a journey of understanding our impact on the environment and how we
can better support our customers to understand their impact on the environment. Our GHG
inventory records are stored in secured environments electronically.

GHG Emissions SourceInclusionsData collection & quantification*
Scope 1
Direct Emissions
Direct Office WasteOffice waste to landfill includes production-related waste. Estimates were made on kilograms. In New
Zealand based on estimates from the waste disposal company, and in the US based on a proportioned
amount based on floorspace in the building.
Scope 2
Indirect Emissions
Purchased EnergyReporting of monthly electricity billing for New Zealand office. Estimates were made for the US offices
since electricity usage is included in the rental payment. Based on confirmation and information on
office space and total electricity usage obtained from the property managers in the US office, the
estimated energy usage was computed.
Scope 3
Indirect Emissions
Business TravelReporting of Business travel comes from business travel reimbursement and travel management
agency billings, which includes flight itinerary and hire car usage. The distance is computed based on
the itineraries available, which is converted to equivalent emissions. Taxi and Uber expenditure comes
from finance reports and expense claim data.
Where information regarding travel activity was insufficient and uncertain, assumptions were used to
estimate travel activity using spend and cross-referenced data.
Scope 3
Indirect Emissions
FreightReporting of Freight comes from the supplier invoicing, which includes volume or weight and mode of
transport. This was then translated into emissions. If there was insufficient data available, volume/
weight was estimated based on similar cost values with the data available, and the type of freight
defaulted to air freight.
Scope 3
Indirect Emissions
Employee CommuteOffice Survey data was used to determine the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) in each location,
as well as the approximate distance they commute to and from the office. A survey was conducted to
ascertain the typical commuting patterns of staff numbers at the offices. This data was then grouped
and averaged for the calculation. It was also assumed that all staff would drive to work in a petrol car.
For Work-from-Home emissions, it was assumed that the default rate was used.
The emissions factor used for this is MFE’s private car 2000-3000cc default petrol GHG emissions
factor for staff commuting and working from home of staff is based on the following sources:
• NZ office: NZ emissions factors are from the 2023 Emission Factors Workbook published by MFE
(updated 07 Aug 2023).
• USA office: emissions factors used are from the Remote Worker Emissions Methodology White
paper published by Anthesis in
February 2021.

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE REPORT ON IKEGPS GROUP LIMITED’S GREENHOUSE
GAS (GHG) DISCLOSURES
TO THE DIRECTORS OF IKEGPS GROUP LIMITED
Our Assurance Conclusion
Reasonable Assurance Conclusion
In our opinion, the gross GHG emissions, additional required disclosures of gross GHG emissions, and gross
GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation uncertainty, within the scope of our reasonable
assurance engagement (as outlined below) included in the climate statements for the year ended 31 March
2025, are fairly presented and prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Aotearoa New Zealand
Climate Standards (NZ CSs) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB), as explained on page 56 of the
climate statements.
Limited Assurance Conclusion
Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the gross GHG emissions, additional required disclosures of gross GHG
emissions, and gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation uncertainty, within the scope of
our limited assurance engagement (as outlined below) included in the climate statements for the year ended
31 March 2025, are not fairly presented and not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with
Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CSs) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB), as explained
on page 56 of the climate statements.
Scope of the Assurance Engagement
We have undertaken a reasonable assurance verification engagement over the following GHG disclosures
within the climate statements for the year ended 31 March 2025:
• GHG Emissions Scope 1, 0.76 tCO
2
e, on page 65.
• GHG Emissions Scope 2, 70.93 tCO
2
e, on page 65.
We have undertaken a limited assurance verification engagement over the GHG disclosures within the climate
statements for the year ended 31 March 2025:
• GHG Emissions Scope 3, 140.92 tCO
2
e, on page 65.
It is important to note that the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is considerably
lower than that involved in reasonable assurance engagement. Although we considered the effectiveness of
management’s internal controls when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our assurance
engagement was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls for emission sources subject to
limited assurance.
Our assurance is limited to policies, and procedures in place as of 26 June 2025 ahead of the publication of
the ikeGPS Group Limited’s climate statements for FY 2025. Our assurance was limited to the GHG statement
contained within pages 63-67 of the annual report and did not include the statutory financial statement. Our
assurance engagement does not extend to any other information included, or referred to, in the climate
Independent Assurance Report NZ SAE 1 | Page 2
statement. We have not performed any procedures with respect to the excluded information and, therefore,
no conclusion is expressed on it.
Key Matters to the GHG Assurance Engagement
In this section we present those matters that, in our professional judgement, were most significant in
undertaking the assurance engagement over GHG disclosures. These matters were addressed in the context
of our assurance engagement, and in forming our conclusion. There are no Key Matters to be reported in
addition to the Emphasis of Matter and Other Matter outlined below.
Emphasis of Matter
• We draw attention to the air travel emissions reported on page 65 of the annual report, in particular,
the emission factor selection for air travel emissions for ikeGPS Incorporated. The emission factors
assigned by the measurement software are sourced from the United Kingdom government as there
are no United States specific published factors. While this is deemed appropriate it should be noted
that if New Zealand emission factors were selected this would have a material impact on the total
emissions reported for Scope 3.
• We draw attention to the FY 2024 emissions reported on page 65 of the annual report as they have
been recalculated and the updated emissions are reported in the current climate statement.
• We draw attention to the emission factors references listed on page 63 of the disclosure. Both the
New Zealand and United Kingdom released updated emission factors for 2025 after the reporting
period. The updated factors have not been used in the calculations.
• Our assurance conclusion is not modified in response to each matter stated above.
Other Matter
• The previous reporting year was not subject to assurance.
Comparative Information
The comparative GHG disclosures that is GHG disclosures for the period ended 31 March 2024 have not been
subject to assurance. As such, these disclosures are not covered by our assurance conclusion. However, the
emission totals were subsequently audited by Toitū Envirocare (ISO 14064-3:2019) following the FY 2024
disclosure and the FY 2025 climate statement includes the FY 2024 recalculated figures.
Materiality
Based on our professional judgement, determined quantitative materiality for the GHG disclosures at 1% for
individual emission sources, and not totalling more than 5%. Qualitative materiality has been determined with
due consideration to relevance to users of the climate statement, as well as the potential impact of omission,
misstatement, or obscurement of any information.
Competence and Experience of the Engagement Team
Our work was carried out by an independent and multi-disciplinary team including sustainability assurance
and environmental practitioners. The assurance lead retains overall responsibility for the assurance conclusion
provided.
ikeGPS Group Limited’s Responsibilities for the GHG Disclosures
ikeGPS Group Limited is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the GHG disclosures in
accordance with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CSs). This responsibility includes designing,
implementing and maintaining a data management system relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of GHG disclosures that is free from material misstatement.
Independent Assurance Report NZ SAE 1 | Page 3
Inherent Uncertainty in Preparing GHG Disclosures
As discussed on page 63 of the climate statements the GHG quantification is subject to inherent uncertainty
because of incomplete scientific knowledge used to determine emissions factors and the values needed to
combine emissions of different gases.
Our Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the GHG disclosures based on our verification. We are
responsible for planning and performing the verification to obtain assurance that the onsite GHG disclosures
are free from material misstatement.
As we are engaged to form an independent conclusion on the GHG disclosures prepared by management, we
are not permitted to be involved in the preparation of the GHG information as doing so may compromise our
independence.
Other Relationships
Other than in our capacity as assurance practitioners, and the provision of the assurance for this engagement,
we have no relationship with, or interests, in ikeGPS Group Limited.
Independence and Quality Management Standards Applied
This assurance engagement was undertaken in accordance with NZ SAE 1 Assurance Engagements over
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Disclosures issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB). NZ SAE 1 is founded on
the fundamental principles of independence, integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care,
confidentiality, and professional behaviour.
Professional and ethical standards are held in high regard and our quality management system aligns with the
standards ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14065:2020 and we comply with the Carbon and Energy Professionals New
Zealand Code of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct.
Summary of Work Performed
Our verification strategy used a combined data and controls testing approach. Evidence-gathering procedures
included but were not limited to:
• Enquiries of management to obtain an understanding of the overall governance and internal control
environment, risk management processes and procedures relevant to GHG information;
• Evidence to support the reporting boundaries, organisational and legal structure reported;
• Recalculation of the GHG emissions;
• Analytical review and trend analysis of the GHG information;
• Evaluation of relationships among GHG and non-GHG data;
• Interview of personnel involved in data collection;
• Review of emissions factors used within the calculations for source appropriateness;
• Review of uncertainty and data quality;
• Review of the assumptions, estimations and quantification methodologies; and
• Seeking written representation from governance on key assertions.
Reasonable and Limited Assurance Conclusion
Our reasonable and limited assurance verification engagement was performed in accordance with NZ SAE 1,
and ISO 14064-3: 2019 – Specification with guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas
statements, issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This requires that we comply
with ethical requirements (as outlined above), and plan and perform the verification to obtain reasonable
Independent Assurance Report NZ SAE 1 | Page 4
assurance (Scope 1 & 2) and limited assurance (Scope 3) that the GHG disclosures are free from material
misstatement.
Reasonable Assurance Procedures Limited Assurance Procedures
• Sample testing, tracing and retracing of data trails
back to primary data including vehicle fuel and
electricity records.
• Site visits to inspect the completeness of the inventory
including interview of site personnel to confirm
operational behaviour, any standard operating
procedures and sample of site-based records.
• Limited sample testing, tracing and retracing of data
trails back to primary data including air travel, rental
cars, accommodation, waste to landfill, taxis, working
from home, employee commuting, personal vehicle
use, paper consumption, and freight records; and
• Electricity transmission and distribution losses (TDL)
calculations.
The data examined during the verification were historical in nature. We believe that the evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of ikeGPS Group Limited
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ikeGPS Group Limited (the “Company”), including
its subsidiaries (the “Group”) on pages 5 to 38 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 31 March 2025, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then
ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2025 and of its consolidated financial
performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards
Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ))
issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and
Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International
Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards
Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Group.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit
of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Why the matter is significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Capitalisation of development costs
The Group is a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) provider
which incurs significant expenditure in developing and
maintaining its software assets.
NZ IAS 38 Intangible Assets outlines the criteria for
capitalisation of costs associated with developing the
software including whether the software will generate future
economic benefits.
As disclosed in Note 12, capitalised software costs are
recognised at cost and subsequently amortised over their
estimated useful lives. Costs that do not meet the criteria
for capitalisation are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
The calculation and capitalisation of costs involve significant
judgment, particularly in estimating the time staff spent on
development, attributing costs to that time and assessing
the future economic recovery of the associated asset.
The complexity and subjectivity involved in these estimates
create a risk that development costs may not be
appropriately capitalised or amortised, which could impact
the valuation of non-current assets and the accuracy of the
consolidated financial statements.
Refer to Note 12 in the consolidated financial statements for
disclosures on the capitalised development costs.
The procedures we performed to evaluate the capitalisation
of development costs, amongst others, included the
following:
• obtained an understanding of the controls and
processes implemented by management to ensure that
capitalisation assessments are appropriate and that
costs are accurately determined;
• obtained from management their capitalisation analysis
for asset additions during the period, including the basis
of cost determination and the classification of assets;
• selected samples of development costs recognised
within work-in-progress (WIP) additions during the year
and assessed whether these costs were directly
attributable to development activities. This included
review of supporting documentation such as JIRA epics
and stories, salary allocations, consultant invoices, and
internal project tracking, including monthly approvals
from project engineers as evidenced through meeting
minutes;
• for sampled projects that were transferred from WIP to
capitalised development assets during the year,
evaluated whether the capitalisation criteria under NZ
IAS 38 – Intangible Assets had been appropriately met,
including whether the project was available for use; and
• reviewed the disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements for completeness and appropriateness.
Impairment assessment and the carrying value of
assets.
As disclosed in Note 3, Material accounting policies, the
Group has undertaken an assessment of the carrying value
of its assets including intangible assets on an annual basis
in accordance with NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
Cash generating units (CGUs) that are yet to be profit
generating may indicate there is an impairment. In addition,
certain CGU’s hold intangible assets in development that
are not yet ready for use and goodwill. Accordingly, these
assets are required to be tested for impairment annually.
Impairment assessments are a key audit matter due to the
materiality of the assets, the risk of impairment, and the
significant level of judgement applied in estimating future
cash flows and other key assumptions in determining the
recoverable amount of a CGU.
To determine whether the carrying value of assets including
intangibles is reasonable, management performed an
impairment assessment on a value-in-use (VIU) basis.
Management determined there were four CGUs:
The procedures we performed to evaluate the impairment
assessment, amongst others, included the following:
• performed procedures to evaluate and challenge the
Group’s determination of cash-generating units (CGUs).
This included reviewing internal management reporting
to assess the level at which the Group monitors
performance, comparing CGUs to our knowledge of the
Group’s operations and reporting systems, and
reconciling assets allocated to CGUs to accounting
records;
• obtained management’s impairment assessments and
tested the completeness and mathematical accuracy of
the value-in-use calculations;
• considered and challenged key assumptions, including
cash flow projections, annual forecasted revenue growth
rate, discount rates, and terminal growth rates, and used
our internal valuation experts to assess the valuation
methodology’s compliance with NZ IAS 36. This
included evaluating the appropriateness of pre-tax
discount rates and terminal growth rates by
benchmarking against external data and industry-
specific rates;
Why the matter is significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
• Ike core platform, intangible assets, property, plant
and equipment, capital work-in-progress, leased
assets and working capital (CGU1).
• Spike: development assets and working capital
(CGU2).
• Ike Structural: intangible assets, capital work in
progress and working capital (CGU3); and
• Ike Insight: intangible assets, and capital work in
progress (CGU4).
Impairment tests prepared by management were based on
discounted cashflow models using the Board approved
budget for the year ending 31 March 2026 and combined
with forecasted cash flows for subsequent years. The Board
approved budgets have been adjusted to meet the
requirements of NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
The key assumptions in assessing CGU carrying value,
were as follows:
• Cash flow projections;
• Average forecast annual revenue growth rates;
• The terminal value growth rate; and
• The pre-tax discount rate.
Refer to Notes 3 and 12 in the consolidated financial
statements for disclosures on the key assumptions and
impairment assessments of the carrying value of assets.
• compared the forecasted cash flows used for the year
ending 31 March 2026 to the Board-approved business
plan and assessed the basis for cash flow forecasts
beyond this period, including management’s justification
for long-term growth assumptions;
• evaluated the historical accuracy of management’s
forecasting by comparing previous period budgets to
actual outcomes to assess the reliability of future
projections;
• assessed the sensitivity analysis prepared by
management, including the impact of changes in key
assumptions such as discount rates, growth rates, and
forecasted cash flows, and evaluated whether the
related disclosures highlight estimation uncertainty and
potential impairment risk appropriately;
• considered whether any internal or external indicators of
impairment (e.g., changes in market conditions,
technology, regulation, or performance) existed and
whether these were factored into the impairment
assessment;
• reviewed the disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements to assess whether they were complete,
accurate, and compliant with the requirements of NZ
IAS 36, particularly in areas involving significant
estimation and judgement.
Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual Report but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s
report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s
report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in
the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Directors’ responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS issued by the New Zealand Accounting
Standards Board and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for
assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.

1. Reporting Entity
ikeGPS Group Limited is a limited liability company domiciled and incorporated in New Zealand, registered under
the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (‘NZX’) and Australian Securities Exchange
(‘ASX’). It is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 comprise ikeGPS Group Limited and its subsidiaries
(together referred to as the ‘Group’), which comprises of ikeGPS Limited (‘ikeGPS Ltd’) and ikeGPS Incorporated
(‘ikeGPS Inc’).
The principal activity of the Group is that of design, sale, and delivery of a solution for the collection, analysis, and
management of distribution assets for electric utilities and communications companies.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 28 May 2025.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 have been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of the Companies Act 1993 and Financial Reporting Act 2013.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice (‘NZ GAAP’). The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of complying with NZ
GAAP. The consolidated financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’), other New Zealand accounting standards and authoritative notices that are
applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial
Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial
assets and liabilities that have been measured in accordance with the specific relevant accounting policy.
All amounts are shown exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other indirect taxes, except for trade
receivables and trade payables that are stated inclusive of GST and Sales Taxes.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an
entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can
affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which
control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
New and amended standard and interpretations
There are no new standards or interpretations material to the Group to be applied during the year. The Group does
not anticipate adopting any standards prior to their effective date. NZ IFRS 18 has been issued but is not yet
effective, this standard sets out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial
statements. IKE is still assessing the impact of this standard.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2025

3. Material accounting policies
Material accounting policies, accounting estimates, and judgments that summarise the measurement basis used
and are relevant to the understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the accompanying notes.
The material judgments and estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are outlined
below.
Going concern
The considered view of the Board Directors is that the going concern assumption is valid. This view has been
reached after making due enquiry and having regard to the circumstances that the Directors consider will occur and
those that are reasonably likely to affect the Group during the period of one year from the date these consolidated
financial statements are approved.
The Group recorded a net loss of NZ$16.3M for the year ended 31 March 2025 (2024: NZ$15.0M) and is expected
to make further losses in the following financial year.
Notwithstanding the above, the Group has prepared cash flow forecasts and sensitivity analyses that indicate cash-
on-hand of $10.2M as at 31 March 2025, combined with forecasted cash flows, will enable the Group to fully meet
its obligations as they fall due, and continue operating as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date
of authorising these consolidated financial statements.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets at 31 March 2025 were reviewed to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment and if so tested or tested regardless in the case of indefinite life intangible assets
(including intangibles not yet available for use). The Directors identified the following cash generating units (CGUs):
CGU1 – IKE Core platform: intangible assets, property plant and equipment, capital work in progress,
lease assets and working capital.
CGU2 – Spike: intangible assets and working capital.
CGU3 – IKE Structural: intangible assets, capital work in progress and working capital.
CGU4 – IKE Insight: intangible assets and capital work in progress.
The Directors concluded the overall operating losses associated with CGU1 are an indicator of impairment,
requiring an estimate of the CGU1 recoverable amount.
CGU1 was determined to have a carrying value of $12.2M. Future cash flows are forecasted based on a five-year
business model for CGU1, which included a conservative average revenue growth rate of 21% and operating
expenses reflecting the FY26 business plan.
The Group remains optimistic that the infrastructure market will continue to grow due to the significant multiyear
investment programmes IKE’s customers have in place. A pre-tax discount rate of 19.9% was used to establish the
recoverable amount on a value in use basis. To determine terminal value, the Group applied a 2% growth rate.
Sensitivity analysis was performed on key assumptions for CGU1. An impairment would need to be recognised if
the average growth rate was 37% lower than forecasted.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2025
11
3. Material accounting policies (continued)
An indicator of impairment also existed in CGU2 due to the negative operating cashflows of the CGU during the
year. However, CGU2 was determined to have a carrying value of $0.2M as in the prior year the Directors impaired
the remaining intangible asset balance to zero. This leaves the remaining carrying value of the CGU as stock on
hand which is expected to be fully realised over the coming years. This stock has been assessed to ensure the
correct value and treatment under NZ IAS 2.
CGU3 was tested for impairment as the carrying value includes an intangible asset for the IKE PoleForeman
product which was released to market in FY24. CGU3 was determined to have a carrying value of $2.2M. A pre-tax
discount rate of 19.9% was used to establish the recoverable amount on a value in use basis. To determine terminal
value, the Group applied a 2% growth rate.
The Directors have determined that no impairment is required as CGU3’s carrying value does not exceed its value in
use.
Additionally, an indicator of impairment also existed in CGU4 due to the lower-than-expected revenue, requiring an
estimate of the CGU4 recoverable amount.
CGU4 was determined to have a carrying value of $3.1M including goodwill (following the impairment of intangible
assets that were determined to be obsolete). CGU4 is an early-stage business segment and technology asset.
Future cash flows are forecasted based on a five-year business model for CGU4, with the year two revenue
forecasted to be $1.0m with an average revenue growth rate of 123% in years three to five and operating expenses
reflecting the FY26 business plan. A pre-tax discount rate of 33.7% was used to establish the recoverable amount
on a value in use basis. In determining the terminal value, the Group applied a 2% growth rate.
The Directors believe that given the large desire for automation in the industry and use of artificial intelligence to
complete pole analysis the CGU could outperform these estimates. During the prior year the first of several
customer projects was successfully delivered.
CGU4 continues to be focused in working towards delivering several products that in the coming year will be
released to market as a value driven add-ons to existing subscription products.
However, given the prior year lower than expected revenue the Directors have taken a prudent approach to
forecasting future revenues.
Based on this approach, the Directors have determined that no impairment of CGU4’s intangible assets of is
required as the carrying amount does not exceed the value in use calculation.
The forecasted financial information for all CGUs is based on both historical experience and future expectations of
operating performance and requires judgements to be made as to revenue growth, operating cost projections, and
the market environment. It is sensitive to changes in each of the assumptions outlined above and actual results
may be substantially different.
Foreign currencies
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Group’s subsidiaries are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment that the entity operates ("the functional currency").
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2025
12
3. Material accounting policies (continued)
The functional currency of ikeGPS Ltd is New Zealand dollars. The functional currency of ikeGPS Inc is United States
dollars. These consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the Group's
presentational currency.
The financial performance and position of ikeGPS Inc are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
+ assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at reporting date;
+ income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case
income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions);
+ all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income;
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are initially translated to functional currencies at the exchange rate prevailing at the
transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from
the revaluation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign currency translation reserve
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other comprehensive
income as described in the foreign currency translation accounting policy and accumulated in a separate reserve
within equity. If the net investment is to be disposed of, the cumulative amount would be reclassified to the
consolidated statement of profit or loss.
4. Operating segments
The CEO is assessed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) who regularly reviews financial information
by product and gross margin. Reporting of overheads and the financial position is not undertaken at a level lower
than the Group as a whole. Geographically, revenue is substantially generated in the United States of America.
The Group derives its revenue from:
Platform Transactions:
+ IKE Analyze revenue by providing an end-to-end technical solution for customers; IKE captures and
analyses pole loading and make-ready engineering assessments, or customers capture pole data and
transact on the platform,
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the

+ transactional revenue by analysing pole data through an artificial intelligence and machine learning
platform.
Platform Subscriptions:
+ the IKE Platform solution where customers use the functionality of IKE Office and if applicable the IKE
Device,
+ pole loading software licences and ongoing subscriptions for maintenance and support.

5. Revenue
The Group derives its revenue from the sale of products and related services, subscription revenue, software
licenses, providing access to hardware and the software platform, and technical pole data analysis. Revenue is
recognised when performance obligations have been satisfied, which is when control of the good or service
associated with the performance obligation has been transferred to the customer.
Revenue is recognised using a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under
NZ IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be
entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
The standard requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all the relevant facts and
circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The five-step model for
recognising revenue from contracts with customers requires consideration of the following steps:
+ Identifying the contract
+ Identifying the individual performance obligations within the contract
+ Determining the transaction price
+ Allocating the transaction price to distinct performance obligations
+ Recognising revenue
The table below provides the key judgements made on the application of NZ IFRS 15 across each revenue type with
standardised terms and conditions. The Group has applied a practical expedient permitted by the standard;
therefore, no significant financing component exists on deferred revenue.

6. Expenses
Operating expenses consist of operating, sales, marketing, engineering, research, and corporate costs.
1. Total depreciation for the year is $1,928k (2024: $1,872k), comprised of depreciation on fixed assets of
$1,582k (2024: $1,550k) as per note 11 and depreciation on leased assets of $346k (2024: $322k) as per

$35k of depreciation on fixed assets (2024: $54k). Corporate costs included all the $346k of depreciation
on leased assets under NZ IFRS 16 (2024: $322k). The balance of depreciation totalling to $1,547k (2024:
$1,332k) is included in cost of sales.
2. Relates to employee benefit expense, external contractors and consultants’ expenses that are directly
attributable to the development of intangible assets and have been capitalised.
3. Relates to short-term and low-value leases and common area maintenance costs.

6. Expenses (continued)
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit
obligations in the consolidated statement of financial position.
For defined contribution plans, the group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance
plans on a mandatory, contractual, or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the
contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are due.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future
payments is available.
Share-based payment
The Group operates an employee option scheme (equity-settled) under which employees receive the option to
acquire shares at a predetermined exercise price. The options are measured at fair value at grant date using the
Black Scholes model, with the fair value recognised as an employee benefit expense in the consolidated statement
of profit or loss with a corresponding increase in equity. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period,
being the period over which all the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the
Group revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the service conditions. It
recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the profit and loss with a corresponding change
to the share-based compensation reserve in equity.
In addition, the Group provides share-based payments to employees related to business combinations. The
employees are required to satisfy service conditions, and an expense is recognised over the service period. The
rewards are considered equity-settled and recognised as an employee benefit expense and an increase to either
share capital or the share-based compensation reserve.
Finance income and expenses
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Finance expenses comprise interest
expense on lease liabilities, recognised using the effective interest method.
7. Current and deferred tax
The current income tax charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted, or substantively enacted, at the reporting
date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates
positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation.
It establishes provisions where appropriate based on amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax
rates and laws that have been enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting date and are expected to apply
when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income
tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilised.

7. Current and deferred tax (continued)
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.
Prima facie income tax expense on pre-tax accounting loss from operations reconciles to the income tax expense
in the consolidated financial statements as follows:
Deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences have been recognised to the extent taxable temporary
differences exist in the same tax jurisdiction. No deferred tax asset is recognised in excess of the available taxable
temporary differences, due to the uncertainty of when the unused tax losses can be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets related to deductible temporary differences total $4,720,617 (2024: 4,776,347).
ikeGPS Group Limited has unrecognised tax losses of $13,787,444 (2024: $16,290,471) available for use against
future taxable profits, subject to the New Zealand Tax Legislation requirements being met. ikeGPS Inc has
unrecognised tax losses of $53,460,201 (2024: $51,180,652), of which $7,917,482 is available indefinitely for use
against future taxable profits and $45,542,719 available to be carried forward up to 20 years from the date the tax
loss was created.

9. Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables arise when the Group provides cash, goods, and services directly to a debtor with no
intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than
12 months after reporting date that are classified as non-current assets.
The Group assesses impairment on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit loss associated with its financial
assets is carried at amortised cost. The Group will assess if there has been a significant increase in credit risk by
assessing market conditions, forward looking estimates, and previous financial history of counterparts.
The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by NZ IFRS 9 for trade receivables, which requires expected
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
The expected credit losses on these financial assets are assessed using a provision matrix, adjusted for factors that
are specific to the receivables including customers’ historical credit loss experience, individual customer
characteristics, customer market segment, and the economic environment.
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating default or delinquency in payments, the
probability that they will enter bankruptcy, liquidation or other financial reorganisation, and there is no real prospect
of recovery.
10. Inventory
Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventory is based on a weighted
average cost, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventory and bringing it to its existing location and
condition. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour, and production overhead. Net realisable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated
costs necessary to make the sale. Inventory is treated as non-current if it is not expected to be sold within twelve
months of reporting date.

10. Inventory (Continued)
During the year, IKE materials have been written down by $31,268 (2024: $6,774) and Spike finished goods by Nil
(2024: $9,364).
11. Property, plant, and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Depreciation is calculated on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Office furniture and equipment 20% - 33%
Plant and equipment 20% - 50%
IKE rental devices 30%
Leasehold improvement Over the period of the lease
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting
date. Gain and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount and are
included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

12. Intangible assets
During the period ended 31 March 2025, the Group undertook a review of its intangible assets, including capitalized
software, intellectual property, customer lists and goodwill. As a result of this review, the Group determined that
certain intangible assets, primarily including acquired and internally developed AI-related software, were obsolete
due to rapid technological changes and advancements made by the Company’s internal development teams. As
such they no longer provided future economic benefit to the Company.
Based on this analysis, an impairment charge of $4.4M was recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
This charge is non-cash in nature and has no impact on the Group’s operations or liquidity positions.
Capitalised development costs
The Group capitalises employee and consultants’ costs directly related to development of an intangible asset. The
carrying values of capitalised development costs are annually evaluated for indicators of impairment. Management
has reviewed the expected remaining useful life of these assets and concluded that they are appropriately amortised
over periods of 4 to 10 years.
Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software
controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
+ it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use,
+ management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it,

12. Intangible assets (continued)
a. there is an ability to use or sell the software product,
b. it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits,
c. adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
software product are available, and
d. the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
All research costs are recognised as an expense when they are incurred.
Other intangible assets
Separately purchased intangible assets (i.e. software) were recognised at cost, plus any initial directly attributable
costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Purchased
software has a useful life ranging from 4 to 10 years.
Software, customer contracts, relationships, trademarks, and training material acquired through business
combinations were initially recognised at fair value. They are subsequently measured at initial recognition value less
accumulated amortisation and impairment and have a useful life ranging from 2 to 10 years.
During the review of the purchased intangibles in CGU4 it was determined that the potential for obsolescence
required further investigation. Following this investigation, it was determined that the purchased intangibles had
become outdated due to rapid advancements made by the Company’s internal development teams, and these
should be impaired. Please note that this does not impact the remaining internally developed assets.
Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and is annually tested for impairment, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.
Goodwill is allocated to CGU4 for the purpose of impairment testing (see note 3 Impairment), as this CGU is expected
to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Intangible assets under development are not subject to amortisation and are annually tested for impairment within
CGU1, CGU3 and CGU4, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be
impaired. The carrying amount of the Group’s other non- financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to
determine whether there is any indication of impairment or objective evidence of impairment. If any such indication
exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments for the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which estimates of future
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2025
25
12. Intangible assets (continued)
cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than the
carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses,
the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to
the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised
in the consolidated statement of profit or loss immediately.

13. Leases
Lease assets are contracts that convey the right to use office space in both Colorado and Wellington. They were
initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at inception. Subsequently, they are recorded
at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, adjusted for remeasurement of the lease liability to reflect
modifications.
The corresponding lease liability to the lessor is included on the consolidated statement of financial position as a
lease liability. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and a reduction in the lease liability. The
finance charges and depreciation of the lease asset are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments. The Group’s ‘incremental
borrowing rate’ used in the discounting for the Colorado lease liability was 7.75% and the Wellington Lease was 9%.
The leases run for a period ranging from 3 to 5 years with an option to renew. The renewal period for the Wellington
lease was taken into account, as management is reasonably certain that this will be renewed. The Colorado lease
renewal was not taken into account.
The Group applied the exemption for low-value assets on the lease of the photocopier and the exemption for short-
term leases on the office space rented in Alabama. Therefore, the lease payments were recognised as an expense
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

13. Leases (continued)
The following leases are exempt from the application of NZ IFRS 16 and have been recognised as an expense in the
consolidated statement of profit and loss:
14. Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities. They are initially recognised at their fair value
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
15. Other liabilities
Other liabilities are obligations from prior year business combinations and were initially recorded at fair value. Those
that are deferred consideration are subsequently measured at amortised cost, and those liabilities that are the result
of contingent consideration are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Accrued liabilities for services
The Group has employment agreements that result in cash payments being made to certain staff at the end of a
service period. The expense is accrued as services are delivered and payment is made at the end of the service
period.

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management
Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position when the
Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
They are trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, cash and cash equivalents, foreign exchange options,
contract assets, employee entitlements, lease liabilities, and other liabilities. They are included in current assets and
current liabilities, except for lease liabilities with payment terms greater than 12 months, which are included in non-
current liabilities.
The Group classifies its financial assets and liabilities as ‘measured at amortised cost’ or ‘fair value through profit
or loss’ at initial recognition.
The following table shows the Group’s financial assets and liabilities and their classification:
Financial instrument Classification
Cash and cash equivalents Measured at amortised cost
Trade and other receivables and payables Measured at amortised cost
Foreign exchange options Fair value through profit or loss
Lease liabilities Measured at amortised cost
Other liabilities – Accrued Liabilities for service Measured at amortised cost
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of
principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. They are recognised initially at their fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities carried at amortised cost are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expenses from these financial liabilities are included
in finance expenses.
The fair value of financial instruments carried at amortised cost is not materially different from their stated carrying
values.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities is recognised directly in profit or loss and
presented in other gains and losses. Impairment losses on financial assets are presented as separate line item in
the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities recognised at fair value through profit or loss are originally and subsequently
remeasured to fair value, with gains and losses being recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
The following table shows the designation of the Group’s financial instruments:

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)
Financial risk factors
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and
interest rate risks, which arise in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group uses different methods to
measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. Liquidity risk is monitored through the
development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
Credit risk
The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of a counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal
to the carrying amount of these instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to credit risk
principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and the foreign exchange options. All
cash and cash equivalents are held with high credit quality counterparties, being trading banks with at least an ‘AA-
‘ credit rating in New Zealand, and a Moody’s ‘A2’ rating in the USA.
The Group does not require collateral or security from its trade receivables, it performs credit checks, ageing
analyses, and monitors specific credit allowances. The Group does not anticipate any material non-performance by
customers. The total impaired trade receivables as at reporting date is $748,016 (2024: $509,793).

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)
At reporting date, 50% (2024: 82%) of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were with one bank.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group cannot pay contractual liabilities as they fall due. Management monitors
rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs,
taking into consideration the Group’s forward financing plans. Management believes that the Group has sufficient
liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due for the next 12 months.

Foreign currency risk management
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on its revenue and a significant portion of its expenses that are
denominated in USD, which is different to the Group’s presentational and parent’s functional currency NZD.
Additionally, the institutional placement and share purchase plan completed in previous years was predominantly in
AUD, creating additional foreign currency risk exposure. Therefore, the Group has purchased AUD/USD foreign
exchange options to mitigate the risk on its AUD cash holdings.
If the NZD strengthened / weakened against the USD or AUD by 10% at 31 March 2025, the pre-tax loss would have
been (higher) / lower as follows:
Interest rate risk management
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from its cash balances. The Group currently has no significant exposure to
interest rate risk other than in relation to the amount held at the bank. A reasonably expected movement in the
prevailing interest rate would not materially affect the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

17. Fair value estimation
The Group measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value either at initial recognition and/or continually. To
determine these fair values, valuation techniques are utilised.
To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has identified
what level of input is utilised in the valuation in the note for each asset or liability. An explanation of each level is
below.
Level 1: The fair value of assets/liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and equity
securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of assets/liabilities that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter
derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely
as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the asset/liability is included
in level 3.
18. Contributed equity.
The share capital of the Group consists of fully paid ordinary shares with no-par value attached. Authorised shares
that have not been issued have been authorised for the Group’s employee share options and other contractual share-
based payments (see Note 21)

19. Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Group presents earnings per share (‘EPS’) data for its ordinary shares.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into
ordinary shares.
The potential shares and options are anti-dilutive in nature due to the Group being in a loss position. The diluted loss
per share is therefore the same as the undiluted EPS at ($0.10) and ($0.09) for the respective period.
20. Capital management
The capital structure of the Group consists of equity raised by the issuance of ordinary shares. The Group manages
its capital to ensure it can continue as a going concern and is not subject to any externally imposed capital
requirements.
The Group’s aim is to have a sufficient capital base to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain
future development of the business. Capital requirements are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors.
There have been no material changes in the Group’s management of capital from the previous year.
21. Share-based payments reserve
The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise both the fair value of options issued to employees but not
exercised and contractual share payments to be made to employees based on the period of employment.
The contractual share-based payments are in relation to employees who have service conditions, which when
completed grant the right to shares. These arrangements arose from prior business combinations.

21. Share-based payments reserve (continued)
The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to settle the shares in cash and has no history of choosing to
settle these payments in cash. As such, these awards are treated as equity settled share-based payments.
The Group determined the value of shares issued under contractual share-based payments based on the share price
at the time of grant. This price is fixed.
A total of 372,094 shares at a value of $173,206 were issued during the period for services rendered (2024: 264,352
shares at a value of $200,908).
Share options were granted to directors and selected employees to retain, reward, and motivate such individuals to
contribute to the growth and profitability of the Group.
Options outstanding at 31 March 2025 have a contractual life from grant date of between 4 and 6 years. Options
can be exercised at any time after vesting and unexercised options expire at the end of the contract or if the
employee leaves the Group. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in
cash. Any share to be issued on the exercise of the option will be issued on the same terms and will rank equally in
all respects with the ordinary shares in the company on issue.
Movements in the number of share options outstanding and their related average exercise prices are as follows:
Out of the 11,317,000 outstanding options 8,215,719 (2023: 7,105,812) had vested and were exercisable at 31 March
2025.
