Directors’ & Chief Executive
Officer’s Report
Result Overview
Solution Dynamics Limited (“SDL” or “Company”) produced an unaudited net profit after tax of $0.21
million for the FY2026 half year (1H FY2025 $2.34 million), down 90.9%. This represents undiluted
earnings per share of 1.46 cents. The key factor is a 34.5% drop in revenue, the result of minimal
business this year from what was the Company’s largest customer last year. Other factors affecting
first half earnings included some one-off revenue and one-off customer remediation costs although
these broadly netted out.
As usual, the first half of the financial year reflects a seasonal higher activity of customer jobs in the
New Zealand operations. First half earnings were also affected by the costs associated with SDL’s
development of its new nGAGE product for the UK and ultimately the global dental communications
market (all nGAGE costs are expensed, there is no capitalisation).
In the NZ print and mail house market, SDL’s print volume grew 1% although mail lodgements
declined 5%. This continues to be a reasonable result given the NZ market remains in structural
decline. The cumulative effect from several years of significant postage cost increase by NZ Post is
clearly affecting some of SDL’s customer behaviour. During the half year, several customers noted
they were looking to become more efficient with their communications programmes and improve
their usage of digital channels.
Cash flow from operations was -$0.77 million (1H FY2025 $5.19 million) with cash flow from trading
declining to $0.65 million. The closing net cash position at 31 December was $8.36 million (1H
FY2025 $12.41 million) with the decline resulting from working capital changes and payment for a
new mail inserter (circa $1.5 million) late in the half. Favourable working capital timing in the prior
period overstated the FY2025 underlying cash position – the FY2025 Annual Report released in
August 2025 noted the then underlying cash position was around $9-10 million.
The key activity in the first half was the successful development of nGAGE, with the MVP (minimum
viable product) built in approximately four months and showcased at a UK dental conference in
November 2025.
The Directors have declared an interim FY2026 dividend of 2.0 cents per share (1H FY2025 nil).
Solution Dynamics | 2025-26 Interim Report 5
Operational Commentary
Operating revenue declined 34.5% to $17.09 million. The fall was entirely from international revenue;
growth in New Zealand revenue was around 20%. While part of the New Zealand growth was
from increased pricing, the majority was from the pass through of higher NZ Post postage rates
(Outsourced Services revenue rose 36.9% to $8.18 million), which are very low margin and have
minimal effect on earnings.
SDL has maintained its leading market share for Council communications in NZ. The split out of
water infrastructure from Councils is creating sales opportunities; the Company already has New
Zealand’s largest Council-owned water utility as a customer. NZ sales efforts continue to focus on
“digital first” communications as part of a complete multi-channel communications approach. Email
volumes in New Zealand were 2.5% ahead of the prior year, reinforcing the migration to digital.
Internationally, we are seeing strong growth from Pitney Bowes (click-based SaaS revenue) and
gains from a legacy dental communications product (will be replaced by nGAGE).
SG&A (Selling, General and Administration) costs declined 26.6% year-on-year, following the
significant restructuring in late-2024/early-2025, partly offset by inflation-related rises in general
costs, plus modest increases in wage and salary costs.

Financial Performance
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) declined 81.4% to $0.69

The EBITDA margin declined from 14.2% to 4.0% with the lower Gross Margin (26.8% from 34.6% the
prior year), the result of operating leverage on lower revenue as well as the increase in low margin
postage revenue in New Zealand.
SDL’s taxation rate in 1H FY2026 was 19.9% versus 29.6% in the prior period, with the lower rate the
result of R&D tax credits.

Solution Dynamics | 2025-26 Interim Report 7
Total revenue was down 34.5% on the prior year. Software and Technology revenue, which is mostly
in International, fell 61.7% to $6.77 million, the result of receiving only minimal revenue from the
prior year largest customer. Digital Print and Document Handling revenue, which is all in New
Zealand, declined 12.2% to $2.14 million reflecting flattish print volumes but lower mail lodgements
and a negative change in customer mix (more lower margin customer volumes). Outsourced
Services revenue, which is all in New Zealand, grew 36.9% to $8.18 million largely reflecting the
increase in postage rates by NZ Post.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Debt
SDL closed the half year with net cash on hand of $8.36 million, versus $12.41 million in 1H FY2025.
A bank overdraft facility of $0.2 million remains in place but is unused. Note the prior year cash
position unduly benefitted from working capital timing of receivables and payables.
Capital expenditure for the half year was around $1.5 million (negligible capex in 1H in the
prior financial year). SDL needed to upgrade mail inserter equipment (one new machine, one
refurbishment) after the supplier EOL’d (end of life) the current equipment (this was an industry-wide
issue). The cost of the new inserter equipment and the refurbishment accounted for almost all of
the capex for the half year.

8 Directors’ & Chief Executive Officer’s Report
Dividend and Capital Management
Earnings per share was 90.8% lower at 1.5 cents.
The Directors have declared an interim dividend of 2.0 cents per share (fully imputed). Following
the requirement to upgrade inserter equipment, there are minimal near-term capital expenditure
requirements. SDL’s payout ratio (covering dividends and buybacks) is no longer constrained by the
co-funding from New Zealand Trade and Enterprise’s (NZTE) International Growth Fund (IGF). As
a result, the Directors intend to fully pay out earnings as dividends and, subject to no acquisition
activity, continue to utilise excess cash in buying back stock. SDL is sensitive to the price it pays in
buying back stock to ensure any stock re-purchases are value accretive to the Company.
During the half, SDL bought back 38.3k shares. For much of the period, the Company was holding
potentially material inside information and was unable to undertake any on-market share buyback
activity.

emphasises that any transaction must add shareholder value.
Solution Dynamics | 2025-26 Interim Report 9
Governance and Management
SDL’s CEO, Pat Brand, stepped down from the CEO role at end December 2025 due to ongoing family
medical issues.
Pat made a significant contribution in steering the Company through COVID, and continuing Nelson
Siva’s legacy of transitioning SDL from a print/mail house towards an increasingly software-oriented
organisation. Pat played an instrumental role in re-aligning the cost structure post the major
customer RFP process in late 2024, plus leading the development of the nGAGE product.
Pat has key customer relationships and market knowledge in the US. From 1 January 2026 he
joined SDL’s Board of Directors with a particular emphasis on providing strategic input and support
to international product and customer initiatives internationally that are critical to the Company’s
growth prospects.
SDL’s CFO, Susie Watts, assumed the role of Acting CEO from 1 January 2026 with executive
support continuing from Board Chair John McMahon and other directors as needed.
nGAGE
nGAGE is SDL’s AI driven growth platform for dental groups. It connects natively to Dentally, a dental
practice management software package, to automate targeted patient communications that aims
to improve dental chair utilisation, reactivate lapsed patients, reduce no shows, and cross sell
treatments – while providing analytics about the return on each marketing campaign.
Development commenced in early August 2025, with the MVP delivered in time for successful
demonstration at the November UK dental conference that generated strong interest. Following
this, one prospect committed to serving as the pilot customer, enabling nGAGE to be trialled
across several of its practice sites from mid December. The pilot progressed successfully, with the
customer going live in February 2026, and nGAGE is now set for a phased rollout across all 18 of the
customer’s dental sites.
nGAGE leverages rich dental patient data to drive measurable practice growth and strengthen
ongoing patient engagement and retention. As a material upgrade on SDL’s prior dental solution,
nGAGE delivers essential marketing capabilities that core practice management systems do
not provide. It is tightly integrated with Dentally patient information, enabling precise, targeted
campaigns powered by built in AI. The AI engine supports campaign creation, patient analysis, cross
sell identification, operational queries, and continuous performance feedback.
AI supports nGAGE across multiple dimensions, including analysing patient data to recommend
targeted campaigns for specific treatments and lapsed patients, resolving operational and support
queries, providing campaign performance insights, identifying cross sell opportunities, and
monitoring key practice metrics.

10 Directors’ & Chief Executive Officer’s Report
The data architecture underlying nGAGE means it can be utilised in vertical markets aside from
dental, although the UK dental market is where SDL’s initial sales focus will be applied over 2026.
Importantly, this is the first software solution SDL has provided that is not enterprise focused. It is
an “out of the box” solution with the ability to scale beyond a single customer.
Strategy
SDL’s strategy remains a “Digital First” approach to customer communications software and
services, along with seeking further efficiency gains in New Zealand operations to maintain
commercial viability in a declining market.
The near-term focus for FY2026 and into FY2027 is:
1. Improving operational efficiency, building on the earlier restructuring, and increasing internal
work flow automation.
2. Sales efforts locally aimed at building on SDL’s strong position in the Councils’ sector by
targeting the water spin-off entities from Councils, along with sales efforts into Australian
Councils in conjunction with an Australian print partner.
3. nGAGE is SDL’s first product with AI designed and built in from day one. It leverages AI to
improve our customers’ ability to deliver targeted and effective marketing campaigns. The
crucial near-term international sales efforts are with nGAGE in the UK, to prove out the extent of
customer demand and sales pipeline conversion rates. nGAGE has broader application beyond
the UK dental market; in addition to dental markets in other countries, its architecture allows it
to deliver communications solutions to a range of verticals.
FY 2026 Outlook
Trading conditions are mixed. International performance remains robust, with strong activity from
existing customers in the US and UK.
The New Zealand market, however, is facing growing pressure as significant increases in postage
rates continue to be implemented by NZ Post – standard retail mail postage price rose 26% at
the end of FY2025, on top of a 15% increase the prior year. These increases are driving customers
toward digital channels at an accelerated pace. This faster than expected transition is compressing
gross margins, as digital communications generate lower margins than traditional print. Everything
that can digitise, will digitise, especially transactional mail. The effect on marketing-related
communications seems less pronounced given the “digital overload” into mobile phones and email
inboxes. This trend may result in SDL continuing to gain market share, especially in traditional print-
heavy customers who require an omni-channel solution but want to progressively move towards
digital. However, this will also mean ongoing pressure on earnings from New Zealand operations.
Opportunities with Australian councils, in New Zealand from the externalisation of Council water
infrastructure and billing, along with the UK launch of nGAGE are expected to support future growth
although these are unlikely to be meaningful contributors to FY2026 results.
Solution Dynamics | 2025-26 Interim Report 11
nGAGE is likely to have a short term earnings drag through 2026 as customer uptake builds,
reflecting continued investment in scaling the platform.
nGAGE has already secured its first corporate dental group customer and this converted from trial
phase to full onboarding as a customer in early 2H. A second corporate group with more than 40
practice sites has also now signed up for phased rollout across its network. As previously noted, the
opportunity pipeline for nGAGE is substantial, although the conversion rate and time from pipeline
to customer is variable at this early stage. While nGAGE will incur additional (unbudgeted) costs
over the second half of FY2026, the Company views it as a meaningful long term value driver, with
strong revenue and earnings potential. To accelerate this opportunity, the Company is investing in
continued product development, market launch and commercial scale up – beginning in the UK and
likely to progress into the US and Australia/NZ.
While SDL’s second half of the financial year is typically seasonally weaker than the first, a modest
profit is expected in 2H FY2026. SDL is maintaining its guidance range for an FY2026 profit in the
range of $0.1 million to $0.6 million.
The usual risk factors apply to second half expectations and include other contract renewals, the
extent of new business success, along with global macroeconomic concerns and continued foreign
exchange volatility given SDL’s operations in the US and UK.

For the six months ended 31 December 2025
1. Corporate Information
Basis of Preparation
The condensed unaudited interim financial statements include the accounts of Solution Dynamics
Limited (SDL or Company) and its subsidiaries. The condensed unaudited interim financial
statements for the six months ended 31 December 2025 were authorised for issue in accordance
with a resolution of directors on 26 February 2026.
These unaudited interim financial statements are for the six months ended 31 December 2025
and are presented in rounded thousands NZ$, which is the functional currency of the parent
company. They have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand’s generally accepted
accounting practices and comply with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting
Standard 34 (NZ IAS 34) and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (IAS 34). They do not include
all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025. The same accounting policies and
methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the
most recent annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.

listed on the NZX. The registered office is located at 18 Canaveral Drive, Albany in Auckland.

Solution Dynamics | 2025-26 Interim Report 21
Accounting Framework
The parent company, Solution Dynamics Limited, is a profit-oriented entity, domiciled in New Zealand,
registered under the companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. Solution
Dynamics Limited is an FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets Conducts Act 2013 and the
Financial Reporting Act 2013.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Practice
in New Zealand (NZ GAAP) and other authoritative pronouncements issued by the New Zealand
Accounting Standards Board (NZ ASB).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Re-presentations
To Improve disclosure effectiveness and to align with the annual financial statements, the Group has
made a number of reclassifications to the interim Financial Statements in the current period.
The previously separate Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income have combined into the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income.
The simplifications have also resulted in a number of segregation and amendments where line
items are not material and affected comparatives have been re-presented for consistency. These
re-presentations have not had an impact on the Profit after tax or Total Comprehensive Income in the
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Net Assets in the Statement of Financial
Position, or the Net increase/ (decrease) in cash presented in the statement of Cash Flows.
3. Estimates
When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes several judgements,
estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by
management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial statements, including
the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group’s last annual
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Group
operates as a going concern.
3.1 Revenue, Income, and Segment Reporting
Revenue is recognised when control of a product or service, or a distinct performance obligation is
transferred to the customer. Where multiple products or services are sold in a single arrangement,
revenue is recognised for each distinct good or service.
22 Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Digital Printing & Document Services revenue
Service revenue is earned from providing mail house operations, high-volume postal business and
ancillary document handling operations such as automated envelope inserting and flow-wrap.
The lodgement and distribution of these documents is managed using a variety of machines and
processes.
Alongside our services, we offer Digital Mail Centre (DMC) enabling customers/users to generate
print, email, or SMS communications from pre-configured templates. Customer/users manage and
create their own templates using template builders within the system.
Revenue is recognised over time using the output method as the relevant services are completed
and delivered to the customer.
Outsourced Services revenue
Outsourced services revenue is earned on combined functions or components such as postage,
third party offset printing, freight, paper and envelopes. These are integrated into the above service
offerings. Long-term arrangements have been established with key suppliers such as NZ Post, for
the provision of these services.
For performance obligations involving the delivery of goods (e.g., paper, envelopes), revenue is
recognised at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, usually upon receipt of
the goods.
For services where the customer benefits from the service as it is performed, revenue is recognised
over time via the output method. The measure of progress toward satisfying these performance
obligations is determined based on the extent of services delivered or consumed by the customer
during the period.
Digital Software & Technology revenue
Software platforms are leveraged to onboard customers, facilitate the sending and tracking
of documentation through physical and digital channels and manage archiving and retrieval
processes using a SaaS model (software as a service arrangement). Revenue earned from the
platform can be structured as a monthly subscription or charged on a per-document basis.
Revenue earned is recognised over-time via the output method as customers simultaneously
and continuously derive the benefit from their subscription rights or at a point in time on a per-
document basis as the performance obligation is met instantly with a customer self-generated
digital print.
Segment Reporting
The Group operates in one business segment, the supply of customer communication solutions.
These include a range of integrated document management products and services separated
into three streams; Software & Technology, Digital Printing & Document Handling Services and
Outsourced revenue.
Solution Dynamics | 2025-26 Interim Report 23
An overhead structure including sales, marketing and administration departments provides services
for all of the above revenue streams.

7. Share Capital & Share-based Payments
The Company had 14,681,492 (2024: 14,719,810) ordinary shares on issue at 31 December 2025. All
ordinary shares ranked equally with one vote attached to each fully paid ordinary share and share
equally in dividends and surplus on winding up.
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share-based payments is expensed
on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments
that will eventually vest. On each reporting date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of
equity instruments expected to vest.
The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss over the remaining period, with a corresponding adjustment to the
equity-settled employee benefits reserve.
26 Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Solution Dynamics Limited offers an equity settled employee share option plan. The general
principles of the scheme are:
• The maximum aggregate number of share options to be granted pursuant to the plan is 5% of
the total number of shares on issue at any one time.
• Options of no more than 1% of the total number of SDL’s shares on issue can be granted to an
individual staff member (the directors made an exception to this limit for the US-based CEO
Patrick Brand)
• The exercise price will be determined by the Board based on the market price at the time of
issue.
• The options may be exercised by the participant (in whole or part) after three years from the
date that they are granted. The key employees have 18-months from the date of eligibility and
must be employed by SDL at the date the option is exercised.
