Financial data
All dollar values are in Australian dollars ($AUD) unless noted otherwise.
Acusensus uses certain measures to manage and report on its business that are not recognised under Australian Accounting Standards or IFRS. Management uses these measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of the overall business. The principal non-IFRS financial measure that is referred to in this document is EBITDA. EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. Management uses EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of the business, the non-cash impact of depreciation and amortisation and interest and tax charges. Although Acusensus believes that these measures provide useful information about the financial performance of Acusensus, they should be considered as supplements to the income statement measures that have been presented in accordance with the Australia Accounting Standards and IFRS and not as a replacement for them. Non-IFRS financial measures have not been subject to audit or review.

(1) Compared to the prior comparable period, being 1H FY25
Financial Highlights
Stellar revenue growth, improving underlying profitability, strong balance sheet, resolution of litigation risk
Revenue of $40.3m Up 40%[1]
$16.4m
40.7% Gross Margin
Adjusted EBITDA[2] of $3.9m Up 9%[1]
Cash Position[3]
$41.0m Up 35%[1]
Acusensus mobilised a significant volume of work in the half, increasing revenue by a record $11.5m[1] .
Supporting existing and anticipated pipeline growth, the company completed a $30m capital raise and secured a debt facility with Citibank to provide up to $25m of financing options[4] .
In February 2026, the Company settled litigation brought against it by Redflex Traffic Systems on a without admission basis for $6m in cash and ~6m shares in Acusensus. As part of the confidential settlement, Acusensus also provided a licence to Redflex so that Redflex and its affiliates have Acusensus’ permission to engage in conduct that would otherwise infringe its relevant patents until those patents have expired or been invalidated[5] .
These actions provide clear air and financial capacity for the company to continue pursuing its wide reaching growth plans.

-
additional multi-function trailers contracted for Western Australia (signed in February 2026), as well as the new $8.7m fixed site contract with Western Australia (subsequently expanded to $19.9m with the addition of new sites, announced today)
-

Commercially viable - Validation of a recurring revenue model featuring a hybrid of hardware + SaaS.
Expanding usage - Growing adoption from initial pilot sites to further deployments with enterprise customers across a range of road environments.
Positively regarded - In field utilisation by workers has been improving day-to-day and now has strong in-field adoption by most deployed crews.
Learning through scale - Our team is rapidly refining the support and service model as Forsite is deployed across sites throughout Australia.
Investing for growth - The business is intentionally in an investment phase, focused on platform maturity, operational scalability, internationalisation and data-driven product refinement.
Substantial addressable market - Global connected work zone and road safety systems markets estimated in the multi-billion dollar range with sustained growth, including the $200bn+ Australian infrastructure pipeline with sustained roadside workforce exposure and US$1.2tn US infrastructure program including major highway upgrades.

- Revenue growth of 40% in 1H FY26, driven by new contracts in Australia and internationally, increased scope from existing customers and inflation changes.
● Key revenue contributors include WA multi-function contracts, NZ mobile speed program and real-time enforcement programs in the US. Expansions included increased units for Queensland mobile phone and seatbelt contract.
-
Gross profit increased 21% to $16.4 million driven by revenue growth. Gross margin declined 660 basis points (bps) to 40.7% driven by contract mix and pricing change due to the bundling of products for a customer
-
● Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% as revenue gains were invested in additional headcount and contractors to support future growth.
-
NPAT declined to a loss of $20.8m mainly driven by higher one-off costs associated with litigation settlement provision and legal costs²
