ikeGPS Group Limited (IKE) (NZX: IKE / ASX: IKE) is pleased to provide a performance update for the

3-month period to 30 June 2025. All figures are in NZD, rounded to the nearest decimal.

Highlights for the 3-month period to 30 June 2025:

 Exit run rate of annual platform subscription revenue of NZ$16.6m (+29% vs pcp).

 Total recognized revenue in the period of NZ$6.4m (+12% vs pcp) comprised of the

following:

 Subscription revenue of NZ$4.1m (+28% vs pcp).

 Transaction revenue of NZ$1.5m (-16% vs pcp).

 Hardware and other services revenue of NZ$0.8m (+3% vs pcp).

 Gross margin of NZ$4.8m (+20% vs pcp)

 Gross margin percentage of 76% (up from pcp of 70%), driven by revenue mix

continuing to shift to high-margin subscription software products.

 Total cash and net receivables NZ$11.7m.

 This comprises NZ$8.8m in cash and NZ$2.9min net receivables (NZ$4.0m in

receivables with payables of NZ$1.1m) and no debt.

A fully underwritten institutional placement was completed in July raising A$18.0

million (approximately NZ$19.6 million) and non-underwritten share purchase plan in

process to raise up to A$2.0 million (approximately NZ$2.2 million).


Commenting on company progress through the recent quarter, IKE CEO Glenn Milnes said:

“Pleasingly, 1Q26 met or exceeded internal performance expectations for the period in terms of

revenue, new customer adds, gross margin, EBITDA and pipeline development targets. IKE reconfirms

previous FY26 guidance for ~35% or greater platform subscription revenue and EBITDA breakeven

on a run-rate basis in H2 FY26.


“While the exit run rate of annual platform subscription revenue (ERR) of NZ$16.6m was +29% on

prior year, this was lower than the level three months prior by ~NZ$1m, largely due to impacts of FX.

The relative weakness of the NZD versus USD (dropped ~7.5% between March 2025 and June 2025)

impacted IKE as it generates USD revenue and reports in NZD. This FX change effectively reduced

reported ERR by ~NZ$1.3m. There were also some expected impacts forecasted operating shifts

from two long-term customers. Importantly, neither are lost, and include a national engineering group

who have continued to transition to a full self-perform transaction-based business model with IKE,

versus per seat subscriptions. We currently expect ~NZ$0.5m in self-perform transaction revenue

from this group at near 100% margin FY26. We also saw a reduction of subscription seats from a

tier-1 national fiber customer, as they completed a large fiber network assessment project in

California via the use of IKE’s products. This group remains a long-term customer– and we continue

to jointly-assess other potential programs across other markets in the U.S. where they build and

maintain communications infrastructure.


“As announced earlier in the month, IKE is now fully funded to accelerate growth plans and new

product development. Following the significant commercial success of the customer-council led

process to design and sell-through the IKE PoleForeman product, a now extended customer-council

group has engaged with IKE to define two extension subscription product modules that we believe

provide a new and compelling offer that addresses important needs across the entire electric utility

industry in North America. Holistically, these next generation product modules are intended to extend

IKE’s value in supporting utilities and communications companies to capture, digitize, and manage

their distribution networks.


“A strategic imperative is to maintain and extend IKE’s market leadership in this specific space. The

investment in this platform is expected to secure IKE's position as the definitive solution provider,

ensuring long-term contracts with customers, sustainable growth and market leadership for the next

decade and beyond.


“Targeted new product benefits include >5x productivity gains for customers for our defined

distribution network applications versus capability in the market today and >2x subscription seat

revenue growth per user via value-based pricing; while shifting customers to a next-generation stack

and user-experience best practices.”

“As we consistently witness, macro-market tailwinds in North America remain highly supportive of

IKE’s business and are expected to drive growth over the coming decades, and our North American-

based team continues to capitalize on significant sales opportunities.”
