Review of operations
The profit for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $538,000 (31 December 2024: $333,000).
Business overview
Advanced Braking Technology Ltd (ABT) is an Australian company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:ABV) that designs, manufactures and distributes its innovative braking solutions worldwide. From its head office in Perth, Western Australia, ABT continues to develop its product portfolio for a diverse range of industries that have a strong requirement for safety and environmental responsibility, including the mining, defence, civil construction and waste management industries.
ABT’s innovative braking solutions are well known for their unparalleled safety, improved productivity, zero emissions and durability in the world’s harshest conditions. As its reputation has grown, demand for ABT’s brakes has expanded internationally with its braking solutions being used in all seven continents across the globe.
Strategy and market review
ABT’s strategy to expand and diversify its global reach remains unchanged. The Company commenced the 2026 financial year with strong momentum, driven by continued growth in its Failsafe safety systems. During FY26 H1, domestic and international sales increased by 30.5% and 29.3%, respectively, compared with pcp, with particularly strong performance in key offshore markets, including Canada, Mongolia and Europe. Elevated gold and copper prices supported increased mining investment and operational demand.
Innovation remains a priority, demonstrated by the deployment of SIBS1 (1 Sealed Integrated Brake System) Failsafe solutions for JCB Telehandlers at Rio Tinto’s Oyu Tolgoi operation in Mongolia, expanding ABT’s installed base at one of the world’s largest copper deposits. The Company also secured a mandate to supply Failsafe brakes to MMG’s Dugald River zinc mine in Queensland.
Autonomous technology development is progressing, including the SIBSiQ (ABT Collision Avoidance Level 9 compliant Autonomous Braking development) and market channel development for BRAKEiQ. BRAKEiQ is progressing with collision avoidance compliance accreditation at University of Pretoria expected to be completed in FY26H2. South Africa is a global leader in mandating Level 9 collision avoidance in mines. According to EMESRT standards, Level 9 requires the vehicle to automatically intervene and take

control (braking or steering) to prevent a collision if the operator fails to act. Accreditation from the University of Pretoria’s Vehicle Dynamics Group is the industry standard for compliance in the region. Both SIBSiQ and BRAKEiQ initiatives support ABT’s long-term technology roadmap and complement its existing safety product portfolio by ensuring brake technology hardware can seamlessly integrate into the software-driven ecosystems of future autonomous mining fleets.
International revenue growth continues to be driven by engagement with blue-chip customers across multiple regions. ABT is expanding the installed base of SIBs with tier-one mining operators across an increasing range of vehicle applications.
Technological advancements in robotics, automation, AI and data analytics remain important to enhancing safety, productivity, and operational efficiency.
Outlook
ABT operates in the underground mining sector, where long-term growth is underpinned by a structural supply–demand imbalance. New resource discoveries are declining and deposits are becoming deeper and more complex. Sustained gold and copper prices continue to support investment in mining operations. The industry is increasingly adopting automation, robotics and AI to improve safety, productivity, and operational efficiency, while meeting tighter regulatory requirements and advancing more sustainable mining practices.[1]
Development of ABT’s SIBSiQ autonomous braking system is progressing strongly, extending the Company’s safety offering to support lower-risk autonomous and semi-autonomous operations. ABT will continue expanding its international supply chain, growing its installed footprint, and maintaining close engagement with customers globally.
With strong operational momentum, disciplined cost and cash management, and a robust balance sheet, ABT is well positioned to continue delivering growth across domestic and international markets for the remainder of FY26 and beyond.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 DECEMBER 2025
NOTE 1. Summary of material accounting policies
a. Basis of preparation
These general purpose interim financial statements for half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
These general purpose financial statements are intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Advanced Braking Technology Ltd and its controlled entities (referred to as the “Consolidated Group” of “Group”). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2025, together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.
b. Accounting policies
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements except for those as described below.
c. New & amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has considered the implications of new or amended Accounting Standards but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material for the current financial reporting period.
d. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent Advanced Braking Technology Ltd and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the noncontrolling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Noncontrolling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.
e. Key estimates and significant judgments used in applying accounting policies
The critical estimates and judgments are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the June 2025 annual report.

Note 3. Income tax
Income tax expense for the half-year has been recognised based on management’s estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated effective tax rate applied for the six months ended 31 December 2025 is 28%.
The lower rate in the prior comparative period reflected the utilisation of previously unrecognised carried-forward tax losses. The Group continues to review the availability and utilisation of carried-forward tax losses as part of its normal year-end tax processes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 DECEMBER 2025
During the half year, the Group granted 2,263,636 performance rights to Andrew Booth under the Company’s long-term incentive plan. No consideration was payable for the issue of the performance rights.
The performance rights will vest subject to continued employment and the achievement of specific performance conditions.
The rights are divided into two equal tranches:
EPS Tranche
1,131,818 performance rights are scheduled to vest on 30 November 2028 subject to continued employment and the achievement of specified earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdles measured over the applicable performance period.
The EPS performance condition is a non-market vesting condition and is not incorporated into the grant-date fair value. Instead, the number of performance rights expected to vest is reassessed at each reporting date based on the Group’s best estimate of the likelihood of satisfying the EPS condition.
The EPS conditions are outlined below:
| Earnings per share | Vesting Performance | Proportion of shares that vest |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 10%pa | 0% | 0% |
| 10%pa | 25% | 25% + 1.25% for each 1.0% increase in EPS |
| 15%pa | 50% | 50% + 2.0% for each 1.0% increase in EPS |
| 20%pa and above | 100% |
TSR Tranche
1,131,818 performance rights are scheduled to vest on 30 November 2028, subject to continued employment and the achievement of specified total shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdles, including the Company achieving a targeted market capitalisation of $75.7 in June 2028 achievable with a 3 year CAGR growth of 35%
The performance rights will expire on the earlier of 30 November 2030 or the date on which the rights lapse or are forfeited in accordance with the terms of the plan. Ordinary shares will be issued following vesting upon receipt of a valid vesting notice. Rights may be forfeited where the participant ceases employment or in circumstances of misconduct, in accordance with the terms of the incentive plan.
The fair value of TSR performance rights is estimated using a valuation technique incorporating a Monte-Carlo simulation (or equivalent market-based model) utilising inputs from below.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Advanced Braking Technology Ltd
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Advanced Braking Technology Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiary (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, material accounting policy information and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
i. Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
ii. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
