Perth, Australia: Advanced Braking Technology Ltd (ASX: ABV) ('ABT' or 'the Company' or 'the ABT Group') is pleased to report its quarterly activities report for the period ended 31 March 2026 (Q3).
Record Revenue and Operational Momentum
ABT delivered record revenue growth in Q3, characterised by a 28% increase in product sales revenue to $6.0 million. This performance was underpinned by a robust sales pipeline and strong order intake momentum validating the global demand for the Company's safety-critical braking solutions across mining operations.
A continued focus on disciplined operating cost management allowed the Company to maintain strong Gross Margins of 49.1% for the quarter and generate $0.37 million Net Profit before Tax (NPBT).
A key highlight of the quarter was the strategic shift toward an aftermarket growth model with Spares and Consumables revenue surging by 52% to $3.10 million. This growth is a direct result of ABT's expanding global installed SIBS (Sealed Integrated Braking System) base and the successful trial of the Company's brake refurbishment programs in Australia in a strategic move to become a long-term partner in the operational lifecycle of client mining fleets.
Our strategic emphasis on international expansion continues to gain traction. Key engagements in North America and South Africa this quarter have validated ABT's growth roadmap and demonstrated that we have the operational model and technology integration to facilitate the continued scaling of our international market presence. ABT's domestic operations continue to demonstrate significant strength, underscored by the mandate for our FailSafe braking system at the MMG-operated Dugald River underground zinc mine in Queensland.
Market Leadership and Innovation
BrakeSAFE represents the Company's leading fail-safe braking system, a patented SIBS designed for light to heavy vehicles operating in underground mining environments.
Beyond ABT's core fail-safe braking systems, the Company continues to see strong interest for BRAKEiQ, its lead autonomous braking system designed for seamless integration with Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS). BRAKEiQ remains a primary pillar of ABT's innovation roadmap in addressing the evolving safety requirements of the global mining sector and provides a plug-and-play solution for existing heavy vehicle fleets.
- Product Sales included sales of light and heavy vehicle brake systems, spares & consumables.

Following ABT's attainment of exclusive global rights to BRAKEiQ in FY25, the product is currently completing certification testing for CAS9 compliance. This accreditation—conducted by the University of Pretoria (UOP)—is the recognised international benchmark for safety technology and is a cornerstone of our go-to-market strategy. We remain on track to finalise UOP accreditation this quarter, paving the way for customer adoption in key markets by FY27.
ABT's strategic innovation focus in the CAS space offers significant growth opportunity and further strengthens the Company position as a leading safety OEM brand in the mining market through increasing applications.
Financial Commentary
Reported revenue increased by 26.8% compared to the prior corresponding period (pcp), with product sales up 28.0% on pcp. Product sales comprise light and heavy vehicle brake systems, together with spares and consumables.
New Brake revenue increased by 9%, driven by strong customer uptake and the continued expansion of the installed base.
Spares and Consumables revenue grew 52%, supported by ongoing maintenance demand and increased utilisation across the installed fleet, and included revenue associated with a refurbishment program currently being trialled in domestic markets.

Net Profit Before Tax (NPBT) was +1% on pcp for the quarter, however, +60.3% YTD on pcp. Operating leverage was lower in Q3 compared to pcp, reflecting the timing of investment in employees, where recruitment of key strategic hires are aimed at driving future growth and a resultant mismatch between this upfront investment and the associated revenue generation as the new resources ramp up to full operational capacity.
Cash & Cash Equivalents at the end of the period were $4.67m, representing a 62% increase vs FY25 year-end balance of $2.88m, and an increase of 162% on the previous corresponding period in FY25. The cash balance includes the receipt of $0.6m Research and Development tax incentive (RDTI) for both the FY24 & FY25 periods.

The Company's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Booth, commented on the Q3 performance saying:
"The third quarter performance reflects the increasing demand for our safety-critical braking solutions and our ability to scale operations to meet this demand. Our strategic focus on international market penetration and recurring revenue is yielding results, and the aftermarket revenue result this quarter highlights the growing 'stickiness' of our SIBS installed base."
"Furthermore, the recent strategic engagements in North America and South Africa validates the growing global interest in our BRAKEiQ technology. ABT's balance sheet remains strong, with cash reserves growing to $4.67 million and represents 169% increase on the prior year; supported by disciplined cost management, ensuring that we are well-capitalised to fund our ongoing growth, innovation pipeline, and international expansion."
Update on Middle East conflict and market conditions
While Q3 performance was strong, the Board and management continue to navigate the impacts of ongoing conflict in the Middle East. We are closely assessing sustained disruptions to global shipping routes and the resulting logistics volatility. These external pressures are currently affecting the global supply of vehicles and may influence broader industry-wide shifts in capital expenditure. ABT remains vigilant and will continue to evaluate these geopolitical developments to ensure operational resilience.
