EBITDA for one-off NZX transition costs, non-cash ESOP expenses, and unrealised Bitcoin revaluations. This measure should not be given more
prominence than, or considered in isolation from, the reported EBITDA figure. See Disclaimer (slide 2).
The AI Opportunity
Most logistics software was built
in the pre-AI era. We are not.
Hyper-Customisation
Enterprise customers get a
tailored platform, not a generic
tool. We analyse their workflows
and build add-ons that solve
their specific operational
problems, creating stickiness
and additional revenue streams.
Already Happening
This is not a roadmap item. Our
developers are already using
multiple AI agents to build
bespoke product for enterprise
customers, solving real-life
logistics problems in days rather
than months.
AI-Native Architecture
AI agents that dispatch, optimise
routes in real-time, and
communicate with customers
proactively. Built from the ground
up for intelligence, not bolted on
to legacy software.
AI is not replacing SaaS.
It is reshaping it.
The market narrative
SaaS valuations have been hit as investors assume AI
will make software companies redundant. Large
enterprises with thousands of employees face genuine
disruption, what previously required massive teams to
build can now be delivered by significantly smaller ones.
But the market is conflating two very different
things: large enterprise software vendors and
focused SaaS platforms that serve specific verticals.
Accounting, logistics, and other complex software, these
are not going to be rebuilt by individual businesses.
Why SMEs & Enterprise will still buy
SaaS
Even with AI, building software requires deep expertise
that most businesses do not have:
Security and compliance: data protection, access
controls, audit trails
Infrastructure and hosting: uptime, scaling, monitoring,
disaster recovery
Product knowledge: understanding what customers
actually need, not just what they ask for
SMEs & Enterprise will continue to buy from SaaS
vendors. The question is which vendors can deliver
more cost-effectively than they have historically.
The Advantage
In a world where anyone can build
anything, product design wins.
Speed and Cost
Small teams can now deliver what large
enterprises needed thousands of
employees to build. Faster, more
cost-effectively, and without the
overhead. Large incumbents face
enormous restructuring just to compete.
Product Knowledge
Understanding what customers actually
need versus what they ask for. Years of
domain expertise, real-world
operational data, and customer
relationships cannot be replicated by AI
alone.
Design as a Moat
When anyone can build anything, the
differentiator is how well you build it.
Product design becomes the
competitive advantage — just as Apple
proved in hardware. Locate2u is built
around this principle.
This slide represents the Company’s strategic thesis and contains forward-looking statements — see Disclaimer (slide 2).
Zoom2u
Where our logistics expertise began
Locate2u exists because of Zoom2u. Running a delivery
network for over ten years gave us firsthand knowledge of
the pain points in last-mile logistics. We built Locate2u to
solve them.
Q2 FY26 Performance
•Revenue of $0.86m (including 2u Enterprises)
•Down 22% in NZD terms vs pcp reflecting consumer
spending pressure in Australia
•Remains profitable with EBITDA of $432k for the

ATM Facility — A First for the NZX*
•New Zealand’s first At-The-Market equity facility on the NZX*
•Raise capital progressively in small tranches at prevailing
prices
•Manage dilution carefully while building treasury position
“We view Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset, not a trading position. Our focus is on accumulation, not
timing. We expect volatility and we are comfortable with that trade-off.”
*To the best of the Company’s knowledge as at the date of this presentation. Bitcoin values are subject to significant volatility — see Disclaimer (slide 2).
How to think about our financials
A company in transition
Revenue
Locate2u is growing rapidly (40% YoY) and is now over
50% of Group revenue. Zoom2u is mature and
cash-generative but facing cyclical headwinds. Over time,
expect Locate2u to become an increasingly dominant share
of revenue.¹
EBITDA
Locate2u is now EBITDA positive. Group EBITDA has been
affected by one-off costs (NZX transition) and non-cash
items (Bitcoin revaluation). Normalised EBITDA gives the
clearest picture of underlying performance.²
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 are comfortable with this volatility for long-term
shareholders.¹
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 Bitcoin accumulation while
managing dilution carefully.¹
¹Forward-looking statement — see Disclaimer (slide 2). ²Normalised EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure — see slide 11.
