•FY26 Platform Subscription revenue ~$19.2m; (+33% growth vs pcp and 99%
of target)
•Achieved positive underlying EBITDA in March quarter 2026 on a run rate
basis
•FY26 AnnualizedExit Run Rate (ERR) Platform Subscription Revenue
~NZ$20.7m (+18% growth vs pcp; +21% in constant currency)
•FY26 Total Revenue~NZ$26.6m
•Lower margin services business has become more profitable but isbelow pcp
service revenue levels.
•FY26 Gross Margin percentage increased to ~81% (up from pcp of 69%)
•FY26 Gross Margin of ~NZ$21.4m (+23% vs pcp)
•Total Cash ~NZ$33m (up from ~NZ$32.3m reported 3Q), net receivables of
~NZ$4.3m, no debt
FY26 guidance delivered.
FY27 guidance for ~35% subscription
revenue growth maintained.
IKE’s AI-first model connects revenue growth to operating leverage — revenue up,
opex scaling more slowly as AI adoption, pricing & implementation proliferates

•463 subscription customers in trailing 12 m onths at 31 March 2026; 83 new
subscription customers added in FY’2026.
•Customer retention ~97% — IKE retains virtually all subscription customers year
over year
•IKE PoleForeman annualised recurring revenue (ARR) has now grown to ~NZ$13m
— achieved inside two years from product launch with ~230 customers now on
the platform.
•PolePilot - whi ch is an AI automation platform built specifically for distributi on
power assets, was launched and delivered a ~10% price increase across the
entire IKE Office Pro subscription base with no churn. AI is generating validated
revenue uplift in products and reducing costs in operations, this is not a
roadmap. This revenue benefit will primarily be recognized in FY27
•IKE softw are is now deployed across all 50 US states; trusted by 8 of the 10
largest investor-owned utilities in North America and 5 of the 10 largest US
communications companies
•More than 3 ,000 industry professionals attended IKE's National Electric Safety
Code (NESC) webinar series in FY26, led by IKE’s Grant Glause who now sits on the
main Board of the NESC and various other Distribution sub-committees. This
training covered over 800 organisations. A further 1,700+ engineers completed
IKE in-person NESC and OSHA IKE-certification programmes across more than
500 organisations
•Rod Snodgrass appointed to the IKE Board as Non-Executive Director

What’s next for IKE PoleForeman?
•A major software update is coming to IKE PoleForeman
•Opens a large new market IKEdoesn't serve today –
Communications companies and Joint-Use Engineering
firms
•This new module materially simplifies joint-use execution

A new product in IKE PoleForeman family
•Electrical design and management capability
•Moving also into Underground network design
•This helps utilities meet power delivery quality and regulatory
requirements as part of their Standards design process
•Built both for our existing IKE PoleForeman customer base and for
all other electric utilities in the U.S.
Power quality,
built into the IKE platform
Utilities' electrical design work & power management is
often done manually, with results that vary by engineer and
by region. That also does not factor DER.
This new IKE capability brings that work into a
Standardized software tool that utilities have designed
alongside IKE and that they will trust with their data —
giving every team a consistent, standardized way to meet
their power quality and design standards.

From data to decisions
What’s next for IKE Office Pro?
•A new automated Make-Ready- Engineering software module
is coming to IKE Office Pro
•This extends the platform from data capture, digitization and
management into a new, automated layer of value for our
customers
•Built for our new & existing IKE Office Pro customer base —
delivering expansion within accounts we already serve

IKE is deep in a utility vertical
workflow andis embedded in
utility engineering standards
AI as IKE’s accelerant – not its disruptor
AI widens IKE's moat — every new AI feature increases switching cost and pricing power
When IKE becomes a mandate
for every engineer in the utility –
competitors cannot replace
IKE has proprietary industry data,
including owning a 20M human-
engineered assets as a data set
General-purpose LLMs cannot replicate
IKE-specific AI and workflows, and our
U.S. utility customers are not going to
create theirown software.
AI-powered capability inside of
IKE's products has generated
higher pricing &more revenue
PolePilot enabled 10% increase
across the entire IKE Office Pro

IKE is not adjacent to the grid investment
cycle. It is inside workflows.
Joint use
Every 5G & fiber attachment requires
a structural load assessment. IKE
runs those assessments.
Grid Hardening
Wildfire, storm, and flood response
requires proactive pole condition
assessment at scale. IKE's AI lay er is
purpose-built for this.
Digital Twin
Utilities building digital replicas of
their overhead network. IKE's field
data is the primary source feeding
those twins.

AI has unleashed a wave of data centre construction.
In 2023, AI data centres consumed about 4.4% of U.S.
electricity, and that share could triple by 2028.
Microsoft and Google estimate that the U.S. will need
500,000 more electric engineers in the next decade.
Heatwaves, wildfires, and storms are stressing electrical
network systems nationwide. Events once considered rare
- like the 2003 Northeast blackout that hit 50 million people
- are now seen as precursors of larger & more
commondisruptions.
Multiple factors are driving infrastructure investments, and the
need for technology, in North America
