Incremental Costs

Free Cash Flow (FCF) – A non-GAAP measure calculated using the net movement in cash held, less cash applied to business acquisitions / earn outs, movements in
borrowings, and cash used to settle exceptional items included within “other gains and losses” (see section 2.3 of the 2026 Interim Report).
Underlying FCF – Free Cash Flows normalised for incremental costs incurred to onboard clients to Vista Cloud, and for escalated capitalised development costs
(long-term BAU levels assumed to be $8.0m per annum). These normalised incremental cash costs are not expected to be incurred at full platform adoption.

Guidance and aspirations: Vista Group’s 2026 guidance is based on a number of assumptions, including box office performance, foreign
exchange, and the timing of key client signings and transitions. Guidance assumes there are no material adverse macro-economic and/or
market condition impacts, and there are no major accounting adjustments, other unforeseen circumstances, or future acquisitions or
divestments. Aspirations are not financial forecasts or guidance.

MARGIN OBSERVATIONS:
•Operational leverage progress not
expected to be linear due to large client
onboarding
•Deferred implementation costs create a
cash drag beyond 2030, margins will be
better on a cash basis
•Significant proportion of delivery and tech
teams diverted to adjacent opportunities
closer to full adoption
Medium-term cost drivers
CTS – ~23% labour scales
with cloud delivery and wage
inflation, ~19% variable with

S&M – right sized for full
transition, wage inflation
R&D – labour scales initially
with tech / AI adoption and

Vista Cloud Capabilities:
Operational Excellence– The final Vista Cloud capability, marking the completion of
an exhibitor’s cloud journey.
Digital Solutions – Vista Cloud capabilities representing digital solutions, including
sales channels and marketing. These capabilities are marketed to clients as Digital
Enablement and Moviegoer Engagement.
Vista Cloud Platform – An aggregation of all clients using a Vista Cloud capability,
including Digital Enablement, Moviegoer Engagement or Operational Excellence.
Data Empowerment – The initial Vista Cloud capability which includes access to the
Horizon data warehouse, and the Oneview app / AI podcast.
Defined Terms:
ARR – Annualised Recurring Revenue, which is a non-GAAP measure calculated as
trailing 3-month Recurring Revenue multiplied by four.
Contracted Enterprise Market Share – Management’s estimate of the Cinema
segment percentage of the world market for Cinema Exhibition Companies with 20+
screens, excluding Russia, India and China.
Domestic Box Office – The gross box office revenue a movie earns from ticket sales
across North America (United States and Canada).
EBITDA – a non-GAAP measure which is defined as earnings before net finance costs,
income tax, depreciation, amortisation, and “other gains & losses” (see section 2.3 of
the 2026 Interim Report).
Enterprise Client – Cinema Exhibition Companies with 20+ screens. Enterprise client
sites are recognised from the date that the production environment is available for use.
Exceptional Items – The cash inflow or outflow relating to transactions classified as
“other and gains and losses” (see section 2.3 of the 2026 Interim Report).
Free Cash Flow (FCF) – A non-GAAP measure calculated using the net movement in
cash held, less cash applied to business acquisitions / earn outs, movements in
borrowings, and cash used to settle exceptional items included within “other gains and
losses” (see section 2.3 of the 2026 Interim Report).
Incremental Costs – The costs incurred to onboard clients to Vista Cloud, and for
escalated capitalised development costs (long-term BAU levels assumed to be $8.0m
per annum). These normalised incremental cash costs are not expected to be incurred
at full platform adoption.
Recurring and Non-Recurring Revenues – Recurring Revenue is the portion of
revenues that are expected to give rise to recurring cash receipts that will continue until
the service is cancelled. Unlike Non-Recurring Revenues, these revenues are
predictable, stable and can be expected to occur at regular intervals going forward with
a relatively high degree of certainty. This classification of revenue is also expected to
help investors understand the nature of Vista Group’s revenue.
Underlying FCF – Free Cash Flows normalised for incremental costs incurred to
onboard clients to Vista Cloud, and for escalated capitalised development costs (long-
term BAU levels assumed to be $8.0m per annum). These normalised incremental cash
costs are not expected to be incurred at full platform adoption.
