The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 25 February 2026.

SciDev Limited Directors' report 31 December 2025

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'Group' or the 'consolidated entity') consisting of SciDev Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2025 (1H FY25).

Directors

The following persons were directors of SciDev Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report unless otherwise stated:

Michael Utsler Sean Halpin Jon Gourlay Dan O'Toole Johannes Risseeuw

Principal activities

SciDev is a leader in the environmental solutions market focused on water-intensive industries. SciDev brings together world-class technology, chemistry and application to solve pressing operational and environmental issues for the water, oil and gas, mining and construction markets.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial half-year.

Operating and financial review

1H FY26 unaudited revenue of $47.9m (1H FY25 $49.9m), delivering an underlying EBITDA of $1.1m (1H FY25 $3.4m).

Cashflow from operations amounted to negative $0.7m. Operating cashflows were adversely impacted by the $0.8m payment for due diligence costs related to a potential acquisition in 2H FY25 which subsequently did not progress. In addition, the company incurred a further $0.7m in abnormal expenses related primarily to redundancies and restructuring.

SciDev maintained a robust balance sheet with total cash of $7.5m, $7.7m in inventory and a further $6m in unutilised debt facilities as of 31 December 2025.

EBITDA and Underlying EBITDA are non-IFRS earnings measures which does not have any standardised meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to EBITDA and Underlying EBITDA presented by other companies. This measure, which is unaudited, is important to management as an additional way to evaluate the consolidated entity's performance. Underlying EBITDA excludes the effects of significant items of expenditure which may have an impact on the quality of earnings because of isolated or non-recurring events.

During 1H FY26, SciDev continued to build strength across the Group with stronger revenue from Chemical Services over the prior 1H FY25 period, a return to profitability in Water Technologies domestically, and growing a recurring revenue base to account for over half of total revenue.

SciDev Limited Directors' report 31 December 2025

Chemical Services

SciDev continues to innovate and deliver a range of chemistry solutions to its clients, that improve operational efficiency and reduce their wastewater footprint. Within this segment sit the business divisions of Energy Services and Process Chemistry.

During the period, Energy Services increased the number of clients buying its market leading CatChek product by 75%, while adding business development resources to target the most attractive shale formations for our high-value chemistries. In addition, the Process Chemistry business realised record revenues driven by large multi-year tunnelling projects related to metro and road infrastructure.

The outlook for the Chemical Services segment remains positive, and SciDev anticipates growth by delivering bespoke chemistry to new clients, through direct sales and by progressing the strategic Joint Venture with Nuoer Chemicals which provides access to a world-class manufacturing footprint while enabling competitiveness on a global scale.

Water Technologies

SciDev’s Water Technologies segment is centred around the removal of harmful contaminants from groundwater, surface water and industrial liquid waste, allowing water to be reused or safely discharged to the environment. SciDev operates through both Build, Own & Operate (BOO) and Design & Construct (D&C) commercial models and delivers solutions to various markets. During the period, the segment continued expanding its Australian operations, highlighted by the $19.5m contract win for the design and construction of a multi-stage groundwater treatment plant to treat contaminated groundwater from legacy uranium mining at the former Rum Jungle Mine.

Additionally, the international operations, which have faced growing cost pressures, were transitioned from a direct investment to a lower cost channel partner strategy. The benefits of these changes are expected to reduce costs by nearly $3 million annually, while retaining access to the significant long-term potential of these markets.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half-year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2025 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Rounding of amounts

The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Note 15. Fair value measurement

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3

Level 2: Equity securities

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of SciDev Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of SciDev Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (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 half-year 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 Group 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. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

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.
