Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.
Kia ora, good morning, and welcome to TradeWindow’s 2025 Annual General Shareholders’
Meeting. My name is Alasdair MacLeod, I am the Chair of the company.
We will be presenting a series of slides that have been released to the NZX and are also now
available on TradeWindow’s investor website.
Before proceeding I would first direct your attention to this slide 3 and the important notice
regarding this presentation.
I am on slide 4
I also have a couple of housekeeping points to draw to your attention.
Today’s meeting is being held online via the Computershare Online Meeting platform.

feel free to submit questions throughout the meeting, these will be addressed at the relevant

Questions may be moderated, or if we receive multiple questions on one topic, amalgamated
together. Any questions not answered in time will receive an email response after the
meeting.
Voting today will be conducted by way of a poll on all items of business, and I will shortly

Turning to slide 6
Let me introduce you to my fellow directors joining me today:

Also present are members of our senior management team:
• Andrew Balgarnie our Chief Strategy Officer and Company Secretary; and
• Deidre Campbell – our CFO.
You can find details of all Directors and the Senior Management Team on our website.
The Company's constitution prescribes a quorum of ten shareholders. I can confirm this
requirement has been met. Accordingly, I declare the meeting formally open.
The items of business for this meeting are contained in the Notice of Meeting which was
sent to shareholders on the 7
th
of August.
In terms of the Order of the Meeting,
• I will give an overview of the past financial year.
• I will then hand you over to AJ for an update on strategy with detail on growth
opportunities being pursued by the company.
• He will cover the outlook for FY26 and then hand back to me for the formal matters
of the meeting.
• It is at this time we will allow time for shareholder questions and discussion of our
presentation and the resolutions before the meeting.
I'm on slide 7.
Recapping our results for the financial year ended 31 March 2025 — a year defined by
disciplined execution, strong growth, and meaningful progress toward financial
sustainability.
We delivered trading revenue of $8 million, up 30 percent on the prior year. This result landed
at the upper end of our guidance and marks a record for both absolute value and organic
growth. It’s a clear signal that our strategy is working.
Our annual recurring revenue grew even faster — up 38 percent to $8.7 million — driven by a
strong fourth quarter, where the team closed several high-value deals in the final weeks of
the year.
Moving on to slide 8.
Importantly, we achieved monthly EBITDA breakeven during March, a key milestone we set
out to reach. Our full-year EBITDA loss narrowed significantly to $1.5 million, down 77
percent from the previous year’s $6.6 million.
Our net loss after tax also improved markedly, reducing to $3.5 million from $8 million last
year — a testament to our focused cost management and operational discipline.
We closed the year with $0.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Subsequent to the
balance date, we raised $600k through a private placement. These funds strengthening our
financial position.
Over the past year we materially improved our capital efficiency. Our average monthly cash
consumption reduced from $0.5 million in FY24 to just $0.2 million in FY25.
Taken together, these results reflect a business that is scaling with purpose, managing costs
with discipline, and building a foundation for sustainable growth. We’re confident in our
ability to maintain current operations and continue executing on our strategic roadmap.
I’m on slide 9.
In a market defined by rapid evolution and expanding opportunity, success is not merely a
function of strategy—it is a reflection of culture.
At TradeWindow, we believe that capitalising on the market’s growth trends requires more
than innovative technology and global reach. It demands a strong and cohesive culture—one
that aligns our people, sharpens our execution, and sustains our momentum.
Our values are lived—they are not something we simply aspire to. They form the bedrock of
our team culture and guide every decision we make in pursuit of growth and financial
sustainability. Whether it’s challenging the definition of possible, delivering the smartest
solutions as one team, or making every minute and dollar count, our values shape how we
show up—every day, in every market.
This culture has united a globally distributed team of subject matter experts across New
Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, and the USA. It’s a culture that
values diversity of thought, honesty, and openness.
By embedding accountability throughout TradeWindow, we cultivate ownership, accelerate
results, and strengthen execution. This is how we turn strategy into impact. This is how we
scale.
On that note, I will now hand over to AJ to run through our growth strategy and outlook.
