Market Announcement

For immediate release



AoFrio Limited (AOF), the global leader in hardware-enabled insights for the commercial

refrigeration industry, today released its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026

(“1H26”). AoFrio’s 2026 Interim Report accompanies this announcement.

Financial Performance

The Company reported revenue of $33.8 million, down 21.5% on the same period last year. Motors

revenue fell -50.5% or -$10.8 million to $10.6 million and accounted for the entire group revenue

decline. As reported in the 1Q26 update, AoFrio’s largest US motor customer decided to source

motors locally due to higher tariffs. During 2026, other motor customers also shifted towards lower-

specification, lower-cost motors. AoFrio is addressing this through component sourcing to reduce

the price of its existing motor specification and the development of a new lower-cost motor.

IoT revenue increased +$1.5 million, or +6.8%, to $23.2 million.

Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation, and impairment (“EBITDA”) for 1H26

was $0.9 million, compared with $0.7 million in 1H25. Gross profit declined with lower revenue,

although gross margin increased to 34.9% from 29.6% as the business mix shifted towards higher-

margin IoT revenue. Operating expenses were broadly unchanged. EBITDA included $1.2 million

of other income from the 2025 RDTI claim submitted in June 2026.

Strategy Implementation

In December 2025 AoFrio presented two growth options to shareholders. Following strong support

from shareholders for option 2, AoFrio raised $8.9 million, from a placement and rights issue, out

of the $15 million required to pursue growth option 2. AoFrio adjusted its plan to align with the

capital raised and will commence deploying the capital in 2H26 to accelerate growth in Cold Drink

Equipment and start implementing the go-to-market plan for Food Retail.

Growing Leadership Position in Cold Drinks Equipment (CDE) Cellular and Software

Platforms Launched Commercially

A key achievement in mid-2026 was the commercial launch of both the SCS 800 cellular "Always

On" controller and the AoFrio iQ Insights platform for CDE. These two products underpin AoFrio's

strategy to enable rich data intelligence and workflow automation for clients to win market share in

the US and Europe.

"This has been a pivotal half for our product roadmap, with the commercial launch of SCS 800 and

AoFrio iQ. Momentum ahead of adoption continues to build, with thirty-three trials underway

globally, including with significant beverage bottlers in Europe and North America," says AoFrio

Chair John Scott.

The Total Addressable Market for SCS 800 and AoFrio iQ across the US and Europe is estimated

at 700,000 units per annum, with the Company expecting the first purchase orders in 2H26 as new

cooler builds commence for key customers.

While designed primarily for Northern Hemisphere markets, several Latin American CDE

customers have also indicated intentions to shift from Bluetooth to cellular connectivity, with final

certification with key equipment manufacturers in Latin America opening the door to new-build

cooler specifications for 2027.

More than ten customers, including major US bottlers, have completed successful AoFrio iQ pilots.

Integration work for North American customers is now complete, ensuing smooth adoption into

their business systems. AoFrio expects to bill first recurring revenue before the end of 2026, with

additional AI and value adding product feature releases on track for 2H26.

Motors and Fans: Competing on Cost and Proven Return on Investment

With continued pricing pressure on motors, the Company's strategy is focused on reducing costs to

remain price-competitive, while demonstrating the return on investment of its combined energy-

efficient hardware and connectivity offering.

"Motor revenue continues to be impacted by US tariff policy. Our priority in motors right now is cost

down through component sourcing and a new lower-cost motor design " says Scott.

At the same time, the Company has continued to demonstrate to beverage bottlers the value of

pairing its motors with SCS controllers to optimise energy efficiency and improve service and

maintenance. In-field trials of AoFrio INSIDE, the Company’s combined higher-value bundle, have

delivered customer benefits, resulting in motors approved for supply by a major global beverage

brand.

Diversifying into New Markets: Food Retail Gains Traction

AoFrio's diversification strategy to extend its AoFrio iQ software platform into adjacent markets

reached a key milestone in 1H26 with the commercial go-live of AoFrio iQ for Food Retail

applications. The platform is positioned as a food safety and compliance solution, providing

temperature monitoring, automated alerts, and digital compliance records for supermarket and

convenience store operators.

In April, the Company secured its first Food Retail order from a leading Latin American

supermarket chain following a successful proof-of-concept trial that financially validated the

solution. AoFrio expects to commence a 70-store roll out to this customer in Q3 26. The Board has

approved the addition of 4 new sales team members, with hiring starting in the 4Q26, with the

focus to drive new customer acquisition in the Aofrio iQ software and Food Retail business. While

the company remains mindful to balance new staffing additions with financial progress, increasing

sales capability in the new diversified business segment is a key to delivering growth projections.

"Food Retail has moved from proof-of-concept to commercial pipeline in the space of six months.

With additional capital now in place, we're ready to invest in a formal go-to-market push later this

year," says Scott.

Transformation and People

Embedding AI into the business to bolster productivity continues. Over 90% of employees are

using AI daily, with almost a third of the company reporting that AI has helped accelerate delivery

to customers.

Outlook

In the 1Q26 update, the Company announced it expected an improvement in revenue and EBITDA

in 2026 over 2025.


The improvement in full-year revenue now appears unlikely given reduced demand for the

Company’s motor products and the difficult and uncertain global trading environment, including

foreign exchange volatility. Revenues from the new SCS 800 cellular solution are expected to

begin in 2H26 and should drive IoT revenues above 2025.


EBITDA for 2026 is currently forecast to be broadly consistent with 2025. The Company will

continue to provide updates as the year progresses.


Aofrio is expecting a further lift in its gross margin performance once the new AoFrio iQ platform

deploys and scales, as software margins are targeted at 70%, in line with a developing software as

a service business.



*EBITDA (i.e., Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation, and impairment) is a

non-GAAP earnings figure that equity analysts tend to focus on for comparable company

performance analysis. AoFrio considers it a valuable financial indicator because it avoids the

distortions caused by differences in amortisation and impairment policies.

Strategy delivery in a shifting landscape

AoFrio is pleased to release its interim report for the six months ended

30 June 2026 (“1H26”). All monetary amounts are in New Zealand dollars

unless otherwise stated.

Revenue was $33.8 million, down 21.5% ($9.3 million) compared to

$43.0m in 1H25. Motors revenue fell -50.5% or -$10.8 million to $10.6

million, and accounted for more than the entire group revenue decline. IoT

revenue increased +$1.5 million, or +6.8%, to $23.2 million.

Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation and

impairment (“EBITDA”) for 1H26 was $0.9 million, compared with $0.7

million in 1H25. Gross profit declined with lower revenue, although gross

margin increased to 34.9% from 29.6% as the business mix shifted

towards higher-margin IoT revenue. Operating expenses were broadly

unchanged. EBITDA included $1.2 million of other income from the 2025

RDTI claim submitted in June.

This is a year of transition as AoFrio pursues the growth pathways

presented to investors in December 2025. The Company received strong

investor support for a placement in May 2026 and a rights issue in June

2026, which together raised NZD $8.9 million. The board is overseeing

plans to utilise this funding to capture growth opportunities and market

demand.

In 1H26, the Company completed the development required for

commercial release of the SCS 800 cellular controller and the general-

release version of the AoFrio iQ SaaS platform. Both were commercially

released in June and are expected to support revenue growth in North

America and Europe.

Revenue

In 1H26, AoFrio shipped 322,000 IoT devices, a 4.9%

increase in volume. This included 9,000 Cellular

Gateways (a retrofit device) and 9,000 new build cellular

connected products (a Bluetooth SCS controller bundled

with a cellular Gateway). Now that development of the

SCS 800 has been completed and the product has been

commercially released, we expect cellular volumes to

grow significantly, driving increased IoT hardware and

annual recurring revenue.

AoFrio invoiced $2.0 million for cellular data and

software services during 1H26, compared with $2.8

million in 1H25. These services are provided under

multi-year contracts, with revenue recognised in the

Income Statement over the contract term. At 30 June

2026, $18.6 million of invoiced revenue was deferred

for recognition in future periods (30 June 2025: $16.8

million). Our flagship intelligent insights platform, AoFrio

iQ, was launched at the same time as the SCS 800 and

is being trialed by customers. AoFrio iQ is expected to

drive significant increases in annual recurring revenue.

Motor volumes fell a significant -53.0% as compared

with 1H25. AoFrio shipped 261,000 motors in 1H26

(1H25: 555,000), generating revenue of $10.6 million

(1H25: $21.3 million). As reported in the 1Q26 update,

AoFrio’s largest US motor customer decided to source

motors locally because of higher tariffs. During 2Q26,

other motor customers also shifted towards lower-

specification, lower-cost motors. AoFrio is addressing

this through component sourcing to reduce the price of

its existing motor specification and the development of a

new lower-cost motor.

As reported in 1Q26, AoFrio secured an AoFrio iQ Food

Retail solution order following a successful proof-of-

concept trial with a major Latin American supermarket

business. The Company intends to invest in customer-

facing sales staff in 2H26 to drive revenue growth from

its diversification strategy in 2027 and beyond.

AoFrio Ltd

Gross margin

The gross margin was 34.9%, 5.3 pp higher than the

same period last year. This is largely due to change in

product mix, reflecting the larger revenue share from

higher margin IoT products. The gross margin was

40.9% for IoT products (1H25 40.9%) and 21.5% for

motors (1H25 18.0%).

Other income

The Company has submitted its RDTI claim in respect of

expenditure incurred in 2025 for initiatives approved by

the IRD. $1.2 million was recognised in 2Q26.


Operating expenses

Operating expenses for 1H26 were $12.2 million, an

increase of $0.2 million compared to the same period

last year.

Staff costs of $13.3 million (pre-capitalised development

and including contractors) increased $1.2 million

compared with 1H25. There was no significant change in

the number of staff employed during 1H26. Capitalised

development time increased to $4.0 million from $3.2

million in 1H25. This reflects time spent on new product

development to progress AoFrio’s strategies of protecting

and growing its Cold Drink Equipment business and

diversification into new markets.


Working capital

In December 2025 AoFrio presented two growth

options to shareholders. Following strong support from

shareholders for option 2, AoFrio raised $8.9 million,

from a placement and rights issue, out of the $15 million

required to pursue growth option 2. AoFrio adjusted its

plan to align with the capital raised and will commence

deploying the capital in 2H26 to accelerate growth in

Cold Drink Equipment and start implementing the go-

to-market plan for Food Retail. For the near term, cash

has been applied to reducing interest-bearing debt,

repaying drawdowns under the bank trade finance facility

and settling extended payment terms offered by supply

partner East West, ahead of deployment of the funds

toward our growth initiatives.

At 30 June 2026, interest-bearing bank debt was $8.7

million and net bank debt was $5.1 million, compared

with $9.6 million and $8.2 million at 31 December 2025,

respectively.

Compared to the position at 31 December 2025, trade

receivables were $6.2 million lower, due to major

customers now offering supplier factoring. Inventory was

$1.1million higher and trade payables $4.8 million lower,

largely due to a reduction of extended terms invoices.

Interim Report 2026

SaaS Metrics

Alongside reporting for our traditional segments, we are providing

SaaS metrics appropriate for AoFrio. We will continue to align our

reporting to our strategy.

Rule of 40

The Rule of 40 is a SaaS measure under which the sum of annual

revenue growth and EBITDA margin should equal or exceed 40%. For

AoFrio’s IoT segment, revenue growth for the 12 months ended 30

June 2026 was 3.6% and EBITDA margin, after allocating a pro rata

share of unallocated overheads, was 11.4%. This produced a Rule of

40 score of 15.0, down from 20.6 for FY25. The aspirational growth

strategy presented in December 2025 set out a path towards a score

of at least 40.

Recurring revenue

Associated with the supply of IoT hardware, AoFrio provides a

range of data and reporting services, installed on every AoFrio SCS

controller and AoFrio Monitor sold. Revenue from the provision of

such services is recognised typically over a period from one to ten

years. In 1H26 we invoiced $2.0 million of recurring revenue and

recognised $1.6 million, 4.8% of total revenue. Our longer-term target

is for recurring revenue to reach 50% of total revenue. The Balance

Sheet holds $18.6 million, which is deferred for revenue recognition in

future periods.

Number of connected devices

There were 3.68 million devices connected to the AoFrio cloud at 30

June 2026, an increase of approximately 480k (15%) compared to

31 December 2025. There were 30.5k cellular connected controllers

included in this count. As more devices connect to our cloud,

especially cellular solutions, the quality of our fleet insights improves.

This creates greater opportunities to generate additional revenue from

the value-added services in development.

AoFrio Ltd

Strategy Implementation

AoFrio remains focused on investing in its three

strategies to drive long-term success:

▪Protect and grow the core.

▪Diversify its market segments.

▪Transform its foundations.

These strategies aim to ensure that AoFrio continues to

deliver value to its customers while consistently achieving

growth and profitability objectives over time.

Protect and grow the core

The strategy to protect and grow its core business, IoT

for Cold Drink Equipment (CDE) and Motors and Fans,

remained central to AoFrio’s progress in 1H26.

IoT for CDE

Our IoT business continues to strengthen and mature,

reflecting our strategic focus to defend our leading

position in mature markets such as Latin America

(“LATAM”), while expanding into new geographies

including the US, Europe and Asia / Pacific (“APAC”).

Our SCS 800 cellular “Always On” product, which

was commercially launched in June, is central to

winning market share in the US and Europe. The Total

Addressable Market (TAM) for these two markets is

estimated at 700,000 units per annum. Momentum ahead

of commercial adoption continues to build with 33 trials

underway globally, including a large Coca-Cola bottler

in Europe. In 2H26 we expect to see the first tranche of

purchase orders, as new cooler builds commence for key

customers.

While SCS 800 was primarily designed to enter new

markets, several LATAM customers have indicated

intentions to shift from the current dominant Bluetooth

technology to cellular solutions. Final certification with

key OEMs is opening the door to new build cooler

specifications for 2027 within our LATAM beverage bottler

customer base.

Our flagship intelligent insights platform, AoFrio iQ,

continues to gain traction since launch. Over ten

customers, including several major US Coca-Cola

bottlers, have completed successful pilots, and our

development team has completed significant work to

ensure AoFrio iQ integrates smoothly into our North

American customers’ workflows. We are already invoicing

a non-CDE customer for the solution and expect to see

recurring revenue for beverage customers before the end

of 2026.

Beyond customer trials, our product and engineering

teams have focused on increasing the value of AoFrio

iQ through new feature development and upgrades.

We have delivered additional customer benefits

identified through recent pilots, spanning our four key

customer value pillars: Asset Management, Commercial

Performance, Service & Maintenance, and Energy

Efficiency. Work on new features leveraging AI and

camera technology continues, with further releases on

track for 2H26.

AoFrio is well on its journey to embedding AI into

its solutions, evolving from a System of Record and

workflow to a system of Action and Coordination.

For over 10 years, the business has collected data on the

performance of coolers and is now the only supplier in the

market which can provide rich, multi-year insights to our

customers.

While this data has always been considered valuable,

the strategic advantage it offers is now coming into

focus for the beverage industry. Our development

team is leveraging this data to build machine learning

algorithms in our platform that can solve major pain

points associated with managing large scale fleets, such

as predicting when a cooler will break down and why.

By enabling fleet owners to shift to a more predictive

approach to maintenance, our solution can provide

greater visibility and reduced service and maintaince

costs.

Our next evolution of AI features development will be

instrumental in helping customers get even more value

from our AoFrio iQ solution.

7
Interim Report 2026

Motors and Fans

In the face of challenging market conditions, our Motors

strategy seeks to protect the gross profit contribution

of our motor product line by broadening application

coverage, demonstrating ROI and driving cost

efficiencies.

To this end, AoFrio is focusing on optimising our design

and procurement strategy to reduce costs and achieve

more competitive pricing.

We have demonstrated to beverage bottlers the ROI and

benefits of combining our motors with SCS controllers,

enhancing energy efficiency and improving service and

maintenance outcomes. Tangible benefits delivered

through trials of our AoFrio INSIDE bundles in Latin

America have supported our return to the Coca-Cola

approved suppliers list for the first time in ten years.

The TAM for this business represents 3 million motors

per year.

Diversifying into new markets

AoFrio’s diversification strategy is to leverage our core

solution to serve adjacent markets. The first half of 2026

saw our AoFrio iQ for Food Retail product go live, with a

mobile app and full support documentation released. The

solution is positioned as a food safety and compliance

platform, providing temperature monitoring, automated

alerts, and digital compliance records for supermarket

and convenience store operators.

In April, the Company secured an order from a leading

LATAM supermarket business following a successful

proof-of-concept trial, validating that customers will pay

for the solution. With additional capital now raised, AoFrio

is investing in go to market activities and expects to

formally launch the solution for Food Retail in 2H26.

8
AoFrio Ltd

Transform our foundations

The overall purpose of this strategy is to continue to

ensure that AoFrio has:

▪An approach to sustainability that takes advantage of

the opportunities and manages risk.

▪The right people with the right motivation and

capability.

▪The right systems and processes to be productive

now and in the future.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Progressing AoFrio’s environmental, social and

governance priorities remains an important focus for

the business.

In 1H26, AoFrio successfully retained its “Committed

Badge” in the EcoVadis programme, recognising our

efforts as a supplier to implement sustainable and ethical

policies. This reflects the company’s ongoing commitment

to practices that improve transparency and best practice

across our operations.

AoFrio INSIDE, which reduces energy consumption by up

to 68% for beverage coolers, was named a finalist in the

2026 New Zealand Hi-Tech Awards’ Most Innovative

Hi-Tech Solution for a More Sustainable Future category.

People

The Company employs 160 people. The annual staff

engagement score was 67%, down five percentage

points from 72% in FY25 and broadly in line with the

global industry benchmark. Scores for strategic alignment

and belonging indicate that employees remain supportive

of the Company’s direction.

Systems and processes

AoFrio continues to embed AI into the business.

Programmes such as AI Month, a four-week series of

hands-on workshops, events and demonstrations open

to all employees, help to accelerate AI adoption and

advocacy amongst employees.

We will continue to deepen how AI tools are embedded

and leveraged across the entire organisation to

accelerate delivery to customers.

Outlook

In the 1Q26 update, the Company announced it expected

an improvement in revenue and EBITDA in 2026 over

2025.


The improvement in full-year revenue now appears

unlikely given reduced demand for the Company’s motor

products and the difficult and uncertain global trading

environment, including foreign exchange volatility.

Revenues from the new SCS 800 cellular solution are

expected to begin in 2H26 and should drive IoT revenues

above 2025.


EBITDA for 2026 is currently forecast to be broadly

consistent with 2025. The Company will continue to

provide updates as the year progresses.


Aofrio is expecting a further lift in its gross margin

performance once the new AoFrio iQ platform deploys

and scales, as software margins are targeted at 70%, in

line with a developing software as a service business.

Interim Report 2026

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

for the six months ended 30 June 2026

1. Basis of preparation

1.1 General Information

AoFrio Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group is a hardware-enabled SaaS company

that supplies hardware and solutions to the food and beverage industry.

The Company is a limited liability incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. The address of its registered office

is 78 Apollo Drive, Rosedale, Auckland 0632 New Zealand. The Company is registered under the Companies

Act 1993 and is an FMC reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The financial

statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct

Act 2013 and the NZX Main Board Listing Rules.

These interim financial statements do not include all the notes and disclosures set out in the annual report. As

a result, this report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31

December 2025.

These consolidated and condensed financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors

on 4 August 2026 and have not been audited.

1.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

These consolidated and condensed financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with

generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of

financial reporting. The consolidated and condensed financial statements comply with New Zealand International

Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

All material accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Entities reporting

The financial statements are for the consolidated group which is the economic entity comprising of AoFrio Limited

and its subsidiaries.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for derivative financial

information which is measured at fair value.

New standards, amendments, and interpretations

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are

consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the

year ended 31 December 2025, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2026.

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet

effective. NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (NZ IFRS 18) was issued in April 2024

as replacement for NZ IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (NZ IAS 1). The Group is currently assessing

the impact of NZ IFRS 18 and will disclose a more detailed assessment in the future. Several amendments apply

for the first time in 2025, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of

the Group.

16
AoFrio Ltd

Going concern assumption

The Group reported a loss for the six months ended 30 June 2026 of $2,117,000 (2025: loss of $1,770,000) and

operating cash outflows of $861,000 (2025: outflows of $923,000). Cash at 30 June 2026 was $3,592,000 (2025:

$1,971,000) and net debt (defined as cash balances net of borrowings) was $5,138,000 (2025: $7,260,000).

The Board has reviewed forecasts prepared by management for the period to 31 December 2026 that show

earnings broadly consistent with 2025. The Board is satisfied that if demand is lower than expected, the Group

can and will manage its planned increases in operating and capital expenditure to ensure the Group maintains

adequate cash reserves.

The Board closely monitors the Group’s compliance with banking covenants, all of which have been complied with

at 30 June 2026.

Therefore, the Board has at the time of approving the financial statements, assessed it is appropriate to continue

to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Significant accounting estimates and judgements


Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,

including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will,

by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk

of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are

detailed in the following notes to the financial statements:

Areas of estimation

▪Going concern – forecasts – note 1.2

Areas of judgement

▪Development costs – capitalisation of expenses and impairment testing – note 3.6

Interim Report 2026

2. Results for the period

2.1 Segment information

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues

and incurs expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and

for which discrete financial information is available.

The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the

operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer supported by the management team who

report directly to the CEO.

(a). Reportable segments

The Group is organised on a global basis into two operating divisions – Motors and IoT. These divisions offer

different products and services and are managed separately because they require different technology and

marketing strategies. The Group’s chief executive officer reviews the financial performance of each division at

least monthly. Each division is a reportable segment.

There are varying levels of integration between the segments. There are engineering and sales staff that support

both segments as well as shared logistical and quality management services.

Information related to each reportable segment is set out below:

2.2 Seasonality of operations

In recent years, revenues and operating profits have been higher in the second six months of a calendar year.

This is expected to be the position this year due to commercial release of new products in mid-year 2026.

Revenues and operating profits in the 4

th

and 1

st

quarters of a calendar year can be impacted by the timing of the

China New Year and Vietnam Tet holidays.

21
Interim Report 2026

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and

services, excluding GST / VAT, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group. The Group

disaggregates revenues from contracts by geographical regions, which is detailed in note 2.1(b).

(a). Sale of Goods

The Group manufactures and sells a range of energy efficient motors and IoT hardware to the food and beverage

market. Sales are recognised when control has transferred to the buyer which is usually when delivery of the

goods to the buyer pursuant to the Incoterms that apply is fulfilled, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could

affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been delivered in

accordance with the pre-agreed Incoterms between the Group and the buyer, the risks of obsolescence and loss

have been transferred to the buyer, and either the buyer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales

arrangement, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for

acceptance and performance obligations under the contract with the customer have been satisfied.

Some of the sales of goods are subject to CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) Incoterms. The Group considers

these freight and insurance services to be a distinct service. For these sales, the total sales price is allocated to

the separate performance obligations, being the product and the insurance and freight costs. Further, the Group

considers itself an agent only in the provision of the freight services. Revenue for the CIF element is recognised

only to the extent of the margin for providing the agent services. However, there are limited sales under CIF terms

and the impact on revenue is estimated to be minor.

The Group has an in-market distributor in Brazil to supply goods to buyers in that market who require local

delivery. This distributor transacts as agent. The Group is the principal in these transactions. Sales of product are

recognised when the distributor delivers the product to buyers at which point control passes to the buyer.

Products may be sold with retrospective volume rebates based on aggregate sales over a 12-month period.

Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume

rebates. Accumulated experience and customer knowledge are used to determine the rebate amounts using the

expected value method and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable significant reversals

will not occur. The liability to pay volume rebates is recognised (included in trade and other payables) in respect of

sales made until the end of the reporting period.

No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of 30 - 120 days which is

consistent with market practice.

(b). Sale of services

Associated with the supply of IoT hardware, the Group supplies a range of data, and reporting services, all

installed on every AoFrio SCS, AoFrio Monitor and AoFrio Click sold and are distinct services from the sale of

goods. Revenue from the provision of such services is recognised when services are rendered to the buyer.

Contracts typically cover a period from hardware supply of anywhere from 1 to 10 years, dependent on customer

requirements. Contracts specify the price for the provision of the services. Revenue from such contracts is

recognised on a straight-line basis over the contract term because the customer receives and uses the benefits

simultaneously. No explicit element of financing is deemed present as the purpose of the advance payment of

revenue is for reasons other than financing.

The Group also provides software development services for customers. Revenue from these services is

recognised when the contracted development is completed according to the agreed scope of work.

23
Interim Report 2026

Liability for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave

expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of

employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the

liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and

measured at the rates paid or payable.

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and creates a provision where contractually obliged

or where there is past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

2.6 Earnings per share

Earnings per share (‘EPS’) is the amount of post-tax profit attributable to each share.

Basic EPS of a loss of 0.48 cents (June 2025 – loss of 0.41 cents) is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to

equity holders of the Company of $2,117,000 (June 2025 – loss of $1,770,000) by the weighted average number

of ordinary shares in issue during the period of 442,402,609 (June 2025 – 432,048,543).

Diluted EPS of a loss of 0.48 cents (June 2025 - loss of 0.41 cents) is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to

equity holders of the Company of $2,117,000 (June 2025: - loss of $1,770,000) by the weighted average number

of shares in issue during the period. No adjustment was made for effects of 10,124,070 dilutive potential ordinary

shares, refer to note 5.1(c), because the effect in that period would have been anti-dilutive.

Current year income tax expense(96)(20)(261)

Deferred tax – recognition of deferred tax asset--206

Income tax expense(96)(20)(55)

The current income tax expense relates to income tax payable at 30% in respect of trading activities in Mexico.

No additional tax expense arises due to the availability of tax losses carried forward from previous years in each

jurisdiction.

As it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise temporary differences and losses, a

deferred tax asset was recognised at 31 December 2025 for deductible temporary differences and for that portion

of the unused tax losses expected to be utilised in the five years 2026 through to 2030. No additional deferred tax

has been recognised in 1H26. The key judgements within the forecast taxable profit model include revenue growth

rates and gross margin. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of the remaining tax losses to carry

forward due to uncertainty as to forecast taxable income after the five years.

Losses available to be carried forward are subject to the shareholder continuity requirements of the New Zealand

Income Tax Act 1994 and the countries in which the losses have arisen.

3. Operating assets and liabilities

3.1 Trade and other receivables

Working capital represents the assets and liabilities the Group generates through its trading activities. The Group

therefore defines working capital as cash, trade and other receivables, inventory, trade and other payables and

provisions.

The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by NZ IFRS 9 which requires lifetime expected credit losses

to be recognised from initial recognition of the trade receivable. Trade receivables are written off when there is no

reasonable expectation of recovery.

The Group takes out trade credit insurance to hedge against some of the credit risk.

Additions in the six months to 30 June 2026 include $4,282,000 (2025: $3,506,000) for internally generated

development costs and $15,000 (2025: $37,000) for patents, trademarks and software. Payments for intangible

assets in the period amounting to $4,297,000 (2025: $3,543,000) are included in the Consolidated and

Condensed Interim Cash Flow Statement.

Internally generated development costs include $16,125,000 (2025: $7,028,000) for projects underway and

not complete at balance date. Amortisation will commence in July 2026 for projects costing $9,090,100 which

launched in that month. The remaining cost is not yet being amortised.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives

Goodwill acquired through business combinations with indefinite lives has been allocated to the IoT Cash

Generating Unit (CGU) which is also an operating and reportable segment for impairment testing. The Group

performed an impairment test at 31 December 2025.

The recoverable amount of the IoT CGU at 31 December 2025 was determined based on a value in use

calculation using cash flow projections from the annual operating budget approved by senior management for

2026. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections was 13.5% (2024: 13.5%) and cash flows

beyond 2026 used a 11.48% growth rate for IoT revenue over the period from 2019 to 2025.

The calculation of value in use is most sensitive to the following assumptions:

▪Gross margins

▪Completion and launch of new IoT products under development and retaining volumes to current customers

▪ Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period

▪Operating expense increases.

27
Interim Report 2026

Gross margins in the calculation of value in use were based on 2026 budget pricing and product costs, and these

have not changed significantly in 2026. The gross margin for the period to 30 June 2026 was 40.9%, consistent

with the same period in 2025 but slightly below the 42.5% for the 2025 year. Operating expenses for the period to

30 June 2026 was 23.4% of sales and the CGU result was a profit of $3,087,000 compared to $3,449,000 for the

same period in 2025. The Group has invested in IoT CGU and expects significant revenue and profits growth in

future periods.

As a result of this updated review, management did not identify an impairment for this CGU.

Fair value estimation

The only financial instruments carried at fair value at 30 June 2026 are derivatives comprising forward foreign

exchange contracts.

The forward exchange contract has been classified as Level 2.

The different levels have been defined as follows:

▪Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

▪Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either

directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) (Level 2)

▪Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs) (Level

3)

The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance

sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.
