ASX Announcement
25 February 2025
First Half FY2025 Financial Results
Financial Summary
-
$45.4m in revenue, down 11% on prior corresponding period (pcp), driven by softer trading conditions in our professional segment which included minor delays to several larger projects
-
Integrated Solutions and Retail segments performing well, with revenue up 6% and 32% respectively
-
Gross profit margin remains stable
-
$0.4m in EBIT (H1 FY24: $2.9m) resulting from softer revenues and one-off restructure costs
-
Net Loss After Tax of $(0.3m) (H1 FY24: $1.6m)
-
Material improvement in financial performance expected in 2HFY25, driven by an uplift in trading in January and February providing confidence in future trading conditions
Ambertech Limited ( ASX:AMO , ‘ Ambertech ’ or the ‘ Company ’) today announced its financial results for the six month period ending 31 December 2024 (1H FY25).
Managing Director, Peter Amos, said: “The first half result for the business was mixed. Whilst we saw growth from our Integrated Solutions and Retail segments, softer trading conditions weighed on our Professional segment. External headwinds continued to impact the business, mainly in the form of ongoing inflationary and pricing pressures which reduced demand as consumer priorities responded to the current cost environment. This was evident in our musical instrument and professional products categories (such as studio and broadcast equipment). We also experienced some delays to large projects which also contributed to the softer financial performance.”
“Pleasingly, our Retail segment, performed strongly, up 32% on the prior period as lower price product resonated with customers. Overall, the diversified nature of the business showed resilience and we are already observing green shoots in early 2H FY25 which we are optimistic will lead to a materially improved financial performance compared to 1H FY25.”
Chief Operating Officer, Robert Glasson added: “Whilst we experienced delays in a significant number of contracts during the half, I am confident that delayed projects will be delivered in the second half of the year and comfortably make up any shortfall in 1HFY25. We continued to be

focused on our strategy this half and both EBITDA and NPAT were affected by approximately $337,000 in restructuring costs. The efficiencies of this activity have already started to be realised and as we head into the new half provides us with the flexibility to execute on our growth strategy.”

Outlook
The company is optimistic that a recovery will be seen in the second half of the year, with a significant pipeline of project and capital equipment supplies to be delivered. Improvements have already started with revenue from delayed contracts totalling approximately $8.0m being recognised post 31 December 2024 or expected to have delivery dates prior to 31 March 2025. This activity positively supports expectations of a stronger second half of the financial year.
Ongoing business development activity is continuing to uncover further growth opportunities which the Company expects to capitalise on as overall market conditions improve in future periods.

AMBERTECH LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 079 080 158 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE HALF - YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Your Directors submit the financial report of Ambertech Limited (referred to hereafter as the consolidated entity) comprising Ambertech Limited and the entities it controlled for the half-year ended 31 December 2024.
Directors
The following persons were directors of Ambertech Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated.
Executive: Peter Amos. Non-Executive: Peter Wallace, Thomas Amos, Santo Carlini, Janine Rolfe.
Review of Operations
Ambertech reported revenue of $45.4m for H1 FY25, an 11% decline from the prior corresponding period, primarily due to softer trading conditions and delays in major contracts within the Professional segment. Despite these challenges, the company maintained a stable gross profit margin of 33.3%.
Integrated Solutions and Retail segments performed well, with revenue growth of 6% and 32%, respectively. However, lower project revenues and one-off restructuring costs of $337,000 impacted EBITDA, which fell to $1.1m (H1 FY24: $3.6m). The company recorded a Net Loss After Tax of $(0.3m) (H1 FY24 NPAT: $1.6m).
Inflationary pressures and subdued consumer spending contributed to softer demand, particularly in Hi-Fi and musical instruments. In response, the company has realigned its cost base to improve operational efficiency and position itself for future growth.
Further information relating to the operations of the consolidated entity during the half-year and the results of these operations are set out in the attached Appendix 4D.

The consolidated loss after providing for income tax for the period ended 31 December 2024 was ($300,000), down by $1,853,000 on the previous corresponding period (2023: profit of $1,553,000).

AMBERTECH LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ACN 079 080 158 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF - YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
This general purpose interim financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2024 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'interim financial reporting'.
This interim financial report does not include all the notes of a type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2024 and any public announcements made by Ambertech Limited during the interim financial reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Going Concern
For the period ended 31 December 2024, the consolidated entity recorded EBIT of $425,000 (2023: EBIT of 2,863,000); with a loss after tax for the period of $300,000 (2023: Profit of $1,553,000). The consolidated entity had operating cash outflows of $3,180,000 (2023: inflows of $264,000) and had cash reserves of $2,418,000 as at 31 December 2024 (30 June 2024: $2,049,000). Current period results included restructure costs of $337,000 as the cost structure of the business was adjusted.
Given the positive working capital position at balance date and the results for the period since balance date up until signing of this report have been profitable, the directors are confident the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and therefore the consolidated financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.
NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in preparing this financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2024 are consistent with those applied in the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2024, unless otherwise stated.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. As hedge accounting is not applied, the subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the profit or loss.
NEW, REVISED OR AMENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. There was no material impact on the interim financial report from the adoption of these new accounting standards.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
NOTE 3: EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
No matters have arisen which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Ambertech Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Ambertech Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, 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 2024 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.
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 2024 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.
