SIX STRATEGIC GROWTH MARKETS
Ava is expanding beyond conventional perimeter intrusion detection into sovereign and critical infrastructure applications
U.S. FEDERAL & DEFENCE: BORDER AND INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY SPEND IS SCALING
Large budget allocations are shifting toward persistent sensing, surveillance, AI-enabled monitoring and infrastructure hardening
US$64.4B
FY26 DHS DISCRETIONARY
Senate conferenced homeland bill summary: FY26 base
discretionary total for DHS.
US$6.17B
BORDER TECHNOLOGY + SCREENING
CRS summary of reconciliation funding for border-security
technology, screening operations and procurement costs.
US$4.5B
SMART WALL CONTRACTS
230 miles of barriers plus patrol roads, lighting, surveillance
cameras and advanced detection technologies.
US$183M
PORT + TRANSIT SECURITY
FY26 Port Security Grant Program (~US$95m) plus Transit
Security Grant Program (~US$88.35m).
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR AVA
• U.S. security spend is increasingly directed toward persistent sensing, surveillance towers, edge processing,
cameras and connected situational awareness.
• AVA now has the U.S. CEO, Hale alignment, Terry McKnight defence/government experience and growing
commercial capability to pursue this market.
• Relevant end-markets include borders, defence installations, ports, utilities, corrections and other critical-
infrastructure sites.
Ava is positioned where U.S. spend is moving: smarter physical security, border resilience and critical-
infrastructure protection.
Capital + leadership + market access now aligned to U.S.
federal / defence growth.
14
AVIATION: A NATIONAL PIDS MODERNISATION OPPORTUNITY
Successful trials can create a pathway from individual airports to repeatable national deployments
9
MAJOR AIRPORTS
Australia’s highest security-
controlled airport category.
5
TIER 1 AIRPORTS
Additional major security-controlled
airports.
44
TIER 2 AIRPORTS
A broad regional airport universe with
regulated security requirements.
AVA VALIDATION AND CONVERSION PATHWAY
• Canberra — trial completed
• Cairns — trial completed
• Melbourne — comprehensive trial
• Perth — comprehensive trial
• Gold Coast — trial completed
TRIAL → SPECIFICATION → DEPLOYMENT
The addressable Australian airport universe
extends well beyond the four FY26 trials,
creating potential for repeatable PIDS
upgrade programs subject to procurement
and specification outcomes.
9 Designated + 5 Tier 1 + 44 Tier
2 = 58 higher-category security-
controlled airports.
15
ENERGY & CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE: INDIA SHOWS THE SCALE OF THE OPPORTUNITY
Recent execution in India points to a larger market of pipelines, refineries, terminals and processing assets
34,803 km
AUTHORISED GAS PIPELINES
PNGRB authorised natural-gas pipeline network as at March 2026.
27,905 km
OPERATIONAL GAS PIPELINES
Operational natural-gas pipeline length reported by PNGRB as at
March 2026.
267.1 MMTPA
REFINING CAPACITY
Installed Indian refining capacity as at 1 April 2026 across the national
refinery base.
1,800 km
NEW LPG PIPELINES
PNGRB-approved LPG pipeline expansion across six states,
estimated at ~US$731m.
WHY AURA AI-X FITS
• India: high-consequence linear assets, fuel logistics, refining and storage infrastructure distributed across large
distances.
• AVA has already fulfilled a fibre-sensing deployment to a critical Indian energy pipeline, with final commissioning
expected in H1 FY27.
• The same technology logic extends to pipelines, terminals, refineries, defence infrastructure and border-security
applications.
India demonstrates growing execution: large addressable infrastructure, credible local partners
and recent AVA deployment experience.
India gives investors a practical example of how Aura scales
beyond conventional perimeter security.
16
SOVEREIGN BORDER PROTECTION
Geopolitical instability is increasing demand for advanced border and perimeter sensing
WHY THIS MARKET MATTERS
• Border protection increasingly requires persistent sensing, covert detection
and rapid response across long, remote boundaries.
• Eastern European deployments and follow-on opportunities support the
application case.
• Australian Border Protection Technologies Panel (BPTP) appointment
provides five-year access to Commonwealth opportunities.
• Defence and border opportunities are developing across APAC, Europe and
the Middle East.
PROOF POINTS
BPTP is more than a tender event: it validates AVA’s suitability for government
border-security applications and creates a structured pathway to future
Commonwealth opportunities. Sovereign-border deployments create
reference credibility that can compound
across allied markets.
Sovereign-border deployments
create reference credibility that can
compound across allied markets.
17
RAIL & TRANSPORTATION: DRIVERLESS NETWORKS NEED SMART CORRIDOR
DETECTION
Automated rail growth makes reliable intrusion and object detection part of the safety case and operating architecture
2,300+ km
GOA4 LINES IN SERVICE
Fully automated GoA4 metro networks now exceed 2,300km
globally and are expected to double by 2030.
~50 projects
GOA4 PROJECT PIPELINE
Global GoA4 project pipeline of roughly 1,800 route-km in
progress, with Asia-Pacific and Europe key growth regions.
4 / 46 / 113km
SYDNEY METRO
Australia's largest public transport project: four metro lines, 46
stations and 113km of new metro rail.
40,000/hr
AUSTRALIAN CAPACITY BENCHMARK
Sydney Metro target capacity is ~40,000 customers per hour,
compared with ~24,000 on the existing suburban system.
WHY THIS MARKET MATTERS
• Driverless metros remove the driver as the primary on-board visual detector: corridors must detect objects and intrusions
and trigger control-room response.
• Sydney Metro’s UTO safety case requires CIDS and ODS; UGL describes these systems as automatically detecting corridor
intrusions and obstacles.
• AVA’s UGL relationship is a “land and expand” proof point: public disclosures show the contract and related variations
reached A$3.0m as scope was finalised; AGM material also cites deployment along Western Line and Western Sydney
Airport infrastructure.
• Successful Sydney Metro completion makes rail addressable in Australia and creates reference credibility for international
metro and rail opportunities.
The bigger story is not Australian track length — it is global automation, UTO safety cases and the need for
safety-critical corridor intelligence.
Sydney Metro is the reference; automated rail is the global
repeat market.
18
TELECOMMUNICATIONS & SUBSEA: THE SEABED IS NOW A SECURITY DOMAIN
Shangri-La call-outs and AUKUS investment show subsea resilience is now a national-security priority
99% / 15
AUSTRALIA EXPOSURE
~99% of Australia’s internet traffic flows through just 15 subsea
cables.
18 months
UNPRECEDENTED PATTERN
Shangri-La described recent attacks on subsea critical infrastructure
as historically unprecedented in scale and frequency.
5 cases
TAIWAN 2025
Taiwan reported five separate seabed cable damage cases in 2025,
up from three in 2024 and three in 2023.
£150M
AUKUS UUV PROJECT
UK contribution to the first AUKUS Pillar II signature project for
undersea drones and payloads from 2027.
INCIDENTS ARE TURNING CABLES INTO STRATEGIC ASSETS
• Taiwan Strait: repeated cable-damage cases are driving stronger surveillance, penalties and resilience planning.
• Japan: policy focus has shifted toward submarine-cable resilience following Baltic and Taiwan incidents.
AVA opportunity: protect the nearshore / landing-station / terrestrial-fibre chain where cable
exposure becomes monitorable infrastructure.
Global base: 694 cable systems / 1,893 landing
stations. The onshore chain is where monitoring
becomes actionable.
19
ACCESS: NEXT-GENERATION CREDENTIAL PLATFORM
dormakaba partnership, UniKey and the refreshed reader range reposition BQT for higher-quality growth
GROWTH VECTOR
UniKey agreement
Five-year supply and co-development
agreement for new NFC/BLE reader
form factors with minimum purchase
commitments and North American
supply position.

1. Cash balance includes $1.4m remitted to Ava Risk Group on 30 June 2026 and
processed by Australian banks on 1 July 2026.
UNDERSTANDING FY26 REVENUE TIMING
The revenue miss was concentrated in timing-sensitive project orders; the strategic opportunity remains active
• FY26 revenue below prior guidance
• Approx. $6.0m orders delayed
• No material contracts lost or cancelled
• Opening FY27 backlog and active opportunities
FY27 implication
A small number of timing-sensitive large projects had a
disproportionate impact on FY26. Converting these opportunities,
while improving pipeline discipline, is the highest near-term priority.
FY27 conversion priorities
Convert delayed opportunities, improve sales cadence
and use stronger commercial leadership to translate
strategic progress into revenue.
24
FY26 INCOME STATEMENT
• Lower revenue driven by delayed Detect orders which
are expected to be closed in FY27.
• Gross margin remains stable at 63% within target range
of 60%-64%.
• Stable operating costs have resulted in positive
underlying EBITDA despite lower revenue.
• Impairment charges relate to remaining goodwill on the
balance sheet and revised value of Illuminate
development costs.
• Fair value of derivates is the revaluation of the
derivative liability attributable to the Hale transaction.
• Net loss for the period of $3.2m is $3.2m better than
the prior year due to lower impairment charges and the
revaluation of derivative liabilities associated with the
Hale transaction.
1. Underlying EBITDA is profit / (loss) after tax adjusted for depreciation and amortisation,
impairment charges, finance expense, foreign exchange movements and non-cash items

OPERATING LEVERAGE: THE CORE FINANCIAL UPSIDE
High gross margins, limited incremental working capital and a largely established platform can turn revenue conversion into earnings growth
1
SUSTAINABLE HIGH GROSS MARGINS
Consolidated gross margin maintained in the ~60-64% range; Detect is the
strongest growth engine and supports the margin profile.
2
LIMITED WORKING-CAPITAL DRAG
Management estimate: every A$20m of incremental revenue requires only
approximately A$2m of additional working capital.
3
LAND-AND-EXPAND POTENTIAL
Sydney Metro / UGL demonstrates scope expansion as customers adopt
Aura to protect more infrastructure.
4
ESTABLISHED TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
Aura Ai-X variants, Access roadmap and Illuminate channels require
execution focus more than step-change fixed-cost investment.
Value creation lever
A$20m incremental revenue /
~A$2m working capital creates a
high-return growth profile if sales
conversion improves.
Revenue conversion is the value-
creation catalyst.
28
STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
FY27 focus: convert strategic progress into revenue, earnings and market recognition
STRATEGY: BUILDING A GLOBAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
The strategy is sharper than “sell more product”: focus, scale, quality and U.S. acceleration
1 WIN IN CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Concentrate resources on high-consequence sectors where AVA
has demonstrated differentiation: Federal, Defence, telecoms,
aviation, transport, energy and sovereign borders.
2 ACCELERATE THE U.S.
Leverage Bryant, Terry, Hale and expanded commercial capability to
penetrate Federal, Defence, corrections, energy and critical
infrastructure markets.
3 SCALE PROVEN PLATFORMS
Extend Aura Ai-X applications; commercialise the refreshed BQT
reader range; grow Illuminate through OEM and channel leverage.
4 INCREASE REVENUE QUALITY
Grow recurring revenue, multi-year programs, repeat deployments,
OEM channels and strategic distribution relationships.
Strategic discipline: prioritise large, referenceable, repeatable deployments where AVA can become embedded in the security architecture of critical
infrastructure owners.
