Locate2u Revenue Up 40%

Q2 FY26 Investor Update


Welcome to our first quarterly update for 2026 and our first as a company listed on the NZX.

Locate Technologies is built on two core beliefs.

First, that last-mile logistics is being transformed by AI. Businesses need software that doesn't

just track deliveries but actively optimises them, automates decisions, and learns from every

route. We're building that software with Locate2u.

Second, that Bitcoin is the best long-term store of value for corporate treasuries. Rather than

holding excess cash, we are building a Bitcoin treasury as a strategic asset for shareholders.

These two beliefs led us to list on the NZX in December 2025, making Locate Technologies

New Zealand's first listed Bitcoin Treasury company.

Q2 FY26 was about executing on our core business while completing the NZX transition.

Locate2u delivered 40% revenue growth relative to the prior corresponding period ("pcp") and

achieved positive EBITDA for the quarter.

If you're an investor in Locate Technologies, we ask you to build conviction in these two ideas:

that AI will reshape logistics software, and that Bitcoin belongs on corporate balance sheets.

The Zoom2u business (including 2u Enterprises) achieved an EBITDA of NZ$432k

(A$377k) for the quarter, whilst Locate2u produced another positive EBITDA quarter

of NZ$95k (A$83k).


Cash used in Operating Activities

What Happened This Quarter

We completed the move to the NZX

The NZX listing on 3 December 2025 and the Scheme of Arrangement on 16

December 2025 were significant milestones. The transition involved one-off costs

(approximately NZ$464k expensed in the quarter

5

), but it positions the Company to

execute its long-term strategy.

Why NZX? Because it provides a regulatory environment suited to our Bitcoin Treasury

strategy. With this transition complete, management's focus shifts from corporate

restructuring to execution.

Locate2u delivered another strong quarter.

Revenue grew 40% year-on-year to $1.02 million. More importantly, Locate2u

achieved positive EBITDA for the quarter, demonstrating the operating leverage in the

model.

This growth came from two sources: expanding revenue from existing customers and

winning new accounts. We're in the pilot stage with a large UK distributor with over

300 drivers. If that project proceeds, it will be our largest offshore customer to date.

Locate2u now contributes 54% of Group revenue and the business continues to scale.

These are costs expensed through the P&L and exclude costs accounted for as a reduction in equity. Total costs incurred to

January 2026 are approximately A$850k.

We're embedding AI deeply into the product

AI is not a marketing term for us. It's changing how we build software and what we can

offer customers.

Internally, AI is materially improving development speed. Features that previously took

weeks or months now take days, enabling faster responses to customer needs and

more efficient deal execution.

Externally, we're building AI agents that will automate logistics workflows for

customers: dispatch decisions, route adjustments, exception handling. This is a core

part of our product roadmap and a key differentiator against legacy logistics software

products.

Zoom2u: Where our logistics expertise began

Locate2u exists because of Zoom2u. Running a delivery network for over ten years has

given us firsthand knowledge of the pain points in last-mile logistics. We built Locate2u

to solve them.

This quarter, Zoom2u revenue was down 22% in NZD terms versus the prior

corresponding period, reflecting consumer spending pressure in Australia. The

business remains profitable, delivering EBITDA of $432k for the quarter, and continues

to generate cash that supports the Group's strategic priorities.

Bitcoin Treasury

ATM Facility — A First for the NZX

During Q2, we established New Zealand's first At-The-Market (ATM) equity facility on

the NZX. This facility allows the Company to raise capital progressively by issuing

shares directly into the market at prevailing prices, rather than through traditional

placements or rights issues.

The ATM structure is well suited to our strategy. It allows us to raise capital

efficiently, in small tranches, and deploy it into Bitcoin without the delays and costs

of repeated capital raises.

Bitcoin Accumulation

As at 5 February 2026, the Company was holding the following BTC

:


Metric NZ$

Total Holdings 12.3 BTC

Average purchase price $178,454

Total Capital Allocated $2.2m

Market value $1.5m


The ATM facility is in place and provides a flexible mechanism to fund Bitcoin

accumulation in line with our Treasury Management Strategy. You can view our

holdings on our live dashboard here https://locatetech.nz/bitcoin

Our Approach

We view Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset, not a trading position. Our focus is on

accumulation, not timing. We expect volatility in the Bitcoin price and, by extension, in

our reported results. We're comfortable with that trade-off.

The quarterly unrealised revaluation (a loss of NZ$460k in Q2) reflects this volatility.

It's a non-cash accounting entry. The Bitcoin we have acquired remains on our balance

sheet, and our conviction in the long-term thesis is unchanged.

The Opportunity Ahead

Locate2u: AI-powered logistics software

Most logistics software was built in the pre AI era. It tracks deliveries but it doesn't

think. It requires manual input at every step.

We're building something different: software that understands real-world operations -

customers, drivers, and their routes, and actively optimises operations.

This is the opportunity with AI agents. Instead of a dispatcher manually assigning jobs,

an AI agent does it automatically, by considering driver availability, customer

preferences, and delivery windows. Instead of a customer service rep fielding "where's

my delivery?" calls, an AI agent proactively communicates status and resolves

exceptions.

The logistics software market is large and fragmented. Locate2u is a platform that

brings these capabilities together, with AI at the core.

Our growth strategy is straightforward: win more enterprise customers, expand

internationally, and deepen the product with AI capabilities that makes Locate2u a

core part of our customers’ infrastructure.

Bitcoin Treasury: A long-term store of value

We believe Bitcoin is the best treasury asset for a company.

Bitcoin is scarce, liquid, and globally recognised. It's not without volatility, but over long

time horizons, we believe it offers better preservation of value than cash or bonds.

Our approach is simple: accumulate Bitcoin over time, hold it for the long term, and be

transparent with shareholders about our holdings and strategy.


How to Think About Our Financials

Locate Technologies is a company in transition. We're shifting from a logistics services

business (Zoom2u) to a logistics software business (Locate2u), while simultaneously

building a Bitcoin treasury.

This means our financials will look different from a typical SaaS company or a typical

treasury company.

On revenue: Locate2u is growing rapidly (40% year-on-year) and is now over 50% of

Group revenue. Zoom2u is mature and cash-generative but facing cyclical headwinds.

Over time, we expect Locate2u to become an increasingly dominant share of the

business.

On EBITDA: Locate2u is now EBITDA positive. Group EBITDA will be affected by one-

off costs (like the NZX transition) and non-cash items (like Bitcoin revaluation).

Normalised EBITDA gives the clearest picture of underlying performance.

On the balance sheet: We hold both cash and Bitcoin. We report Bitcoin at fair value,

so our balance sheet will fluctuate with the Bitcoin price. We're comfortable with this

volatility and believe it's the right approach for long-term shareholders.

On capital raising: The ATM facility allows us to raise capital progressively without the

friction of traditional placements. Expect us to use it opportunistically to fund raise

capital while managing dilution carefully.

Outlook

The NZX transition is complete and the one-off costs are largely behind us. With the

ATM facility established, the infrastructure for our Bitcoin Treasury strategy is in

place.

In the second half of FY26, our focus will be on:

1. Growing Locate2u: Win more enterprise customers, expand in the UK and other

international markets, and continue to improve retention and expansion within

our existing base.

2. Shipping AI capabilities: Deliver AI that automates logistics workflows and

creates tangible value for customers.

3. Building the Bitcoin Treasury: Continue accumulating Bitcoin through the ATM

facility and operating cash flow, in line with our Treasury Management Policy.

We enter the second half of the year with a clear strategy, a strengthening core

business, and a differentiated position as New Zealand's first listed Bitcoin Treasury

company.
