S H A R E H O L D E R NEWSLETTER

MARCH 2023

Dear Shareholders

The Board and management of Ambertech are pleased to present the latest shareholder newsletter, packed with information on recent business events. I hope you take the time to catch up on some of the tremendous successes that our hard-working team have achieved. No doubt by now you will have read our results for the first half of the year and seen that recorded results are down on previous periods. There have certainly been some difficulties with manufacturing timelines, international logistics, and project timelines during that time, however trading in the second half has begun well, and many of these issues have now receded.

Thanks once again for your continued support. We remain confident in the growth strategy of the business, its direction, and our vision for long-term sustainable success. Robert Glasson COO, Company Secretary

MANAGEMENT CHANGES

At the end of 2022, our General Manager Integrated Solutions Richard Neale retired from Amber Technology after 8 years of service, which was preceded by many years in the AV industry.

Nathan joined Amber from CMI Music and Audio, where he was the Vice President of Sales and Marketing since 2018, achieving sales success, enhancing supplier relationships, and managing a successful team across several disciplines. Nathan’s experience, industry knowledge and enthusiasm will see him making a strong, long-term contribution in the specialist hifi, residential and commercial install markets across Australia and New Zealand.

2022 TRADE EVENTS

Our teams were involved in events during 2022, reconnecting with customers and industry colleagues at both trade shows and events organised by Amber Technology. Attendance at events in general has been strong with the industries keen to reconnect, network and find out what’s new.

DLES

The DLES team participated in several trade events in 2022 that brought them in front of key customers and prospects from all areas of defence as well as emergency services and critical communications, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities with Silvus Technologies and related products.

Shows the DLES team participated in included MilCis (Military Communications and Information Systems) Conference and Expo, Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition, Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition, ANZ Intelligence Forum (ANZIF), and AFAC (Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Council) exhibition, and Comms Connect.

Media Systems

Event activities for our Media Systems team included trade shows Media +Technology (MET) Expo and Australian Broadcast Exhibition (ABE) Show, an ABE networking event, and a co-hosted Avid key partners and customers event.

The team met with key contacts from all of the major broadcasters at these events and were able to demonstrate our capabilities in the broadcast and media market. Key manufacturer partners joined us at these events.

Professional Products

Due to ongoing disruption and COVID recovery in the live performance and pro sound markets there was only one event for our Pro team – ENTECH Roadshow, which covers three major cities with a series of one-day events. ENTECH allowed us to reconnect with sound, vision and staging equipment trade buyers, specifiers and users.

Integrated Solutions

Across all three areas of our Integrated Solutions portfolio (Commercial Install, Residential Install and Specialist Hi Fi), our team was kept busy with numerous events throughout the year. A Residential Roadshow across the country and the CEDIA Tech Summit connected our residential install customers with our team; Specialist Hi Fi was well represented at the StereoNet Hi Fi Show; and the Commercial Install team participated in our Flagship AV Showcase, Integrate, AETM and Stage Qld Technical Managers Conference.
