Executive Summary

  • VEEM’s revenue for the half-year was $23.4m (down 30% on 1HFY25) with total activity (Sales + change in WIP) of $23.3m (down 32% on 1HFY25) due to lower gyro and timing of defence sales.

  • EBITDA and NPAT were -$0.2m and -$19.3m down on $3.9m and $0.9m respectively for 1HFY25, with EBITDA within guidance of -$1m to $1m.

  • VEEM 1HFY26 result includes a non-cash impairment of $24.8m associated with gyrostabilisers.

  • Cashflows from operations were strong at $4.0m, up 128% on 1HFY25.

  • $13.1m net proceeds from capital raising received in the half–year (Miocevich Family $1m) significantly strengthened the balance sheet and reduced net debt.

  • Propeller revenue of $12.9m was down 9% with order intake improving in 2HFY26.

  • Revenue from defence was $3.7m down 50% on 1HFY25 largely due to the delay in receipt of ASC orders, received late in the half. Delivery into these orders ongoing and will extend into FY27.

  • Gyro Mark III launched which led to purchase hesitancy and is expected to lead to enquiries on hand converting to sales as the units become available.

  • FY26 transition year as costs incurred for products (Gyro Mark III & VEEM Extreme) and markets (US Defence) prior to their ramp up over time.

Cash Flow

Underlying business underpins solid cash flow


Cashflows from operations of $4.0m (1HFY25:
$1.8m) were very strong as a result of
commencement of the next phase of the ASC
contract.

$14m (before costs) raised via the issue of new
shares with $13.1m remaining after payment of
costs associated with the issue.

$1.1m of HPs were repaid and there were $0.4m
of new HPs to fund asset additions.

At 31 Dec 2025 VEEM had an undrawn overdraft
facility of $4.0m and $2.4m undrawn on the trade
facility.

Cash balance increased to $10.3m at 31 Jan 2026

Capital raising significantly reduces net debt

  • $13.1m net proceeds received from capital raising conducted during the half year.

  • At 31 Dec 2025 VEEM had an undrawn overdraft facility of $4.0m and $2.4m undrawn on the trade facility providing significant liquidity. With an additional $2.4m of other undrawn facilities.

VEEM LTD

Propulsion

  • Propulsion (non defence) sales of $13.0m were down 9% on 1HFY25 with signs of improvement in the marine market in late 1HFY26 and early 2HFY26.

  • VEEM Extreme launched to limited launch customers with significant enquiries received from other interested parties since.

  • VEEM Extreme propeller and flow aligned rudder 18.1% more efficient than standard parallel plate rudders and a class 1 propeller, testing has shown.

  • Manly Fast Ferries is a VEEM Extreme launch customer with contract signed during the half and deliveries into that contract commencing 2HFY26.

  • An increase in offerings is also a part of the growth strategy including shaflines, flow aligned rudders and associated equipment both using conventional materials and VEEM Extreme.

  • The new footprint expansion provides space for additional machining centres with three arriving over the course of calendar year 2026 and will assist in meeting potential demand from an improving marine sector.

  • Amendment to agreement with Sharrow to accelerate the roll out extended for a further 6 months.

==> picture [369 x 375] intentionally omitted <==

VEEM Extreme Propeller

14

Defence

  • Defence revenue of $3.7m in the half year was down 49% on the corresponding period largely as a result of the delay in receipt of ASC orders until late in the half.

  • VEEM continues to be a reliable, local source of highly sophisticated critical components for the Collins Class submarines. Revenue from the submarine program was $1.6m for the half-year (down 65% on 1HFY25).

  • With ASC orders now in hand, delivery has begun with revenue accelerating into 2HFY26 and delivery continuing into the first half of FY27.

  • VEEM is finalising acceptance of the blades and hubs for the Hunter Class Frigate Program (HCFP) demonstrator program for BAE Systems Australia although taking longer than envisioned.

  • Successful completion will confirm VEEM as a qualified supplier, making it one of only two suppliers globally to be able to produce this level of precision.

  • During the half progress was made into entering the US defence supply chain including achieving approved supplier status with HII and signing a 9-year MLA with Northrop Grumman for up to US$33m which can be increased by amendment.

  • The longest US government shut down in modern history from 1 October 2025 to 12 November 2025 hampered progress but VEEM continues to advance qualification efforts and is engaged with several US defence contractors.

  • VEEM continues to monitor developments with AUKUS and other defence initiatives in Australia and the US to ensure it is in the best position to win its share of precision manufacturing work programs.

==> picture [335 x 415] intentionally omitted <==

15

Gyrostabilisers

  • Next generation Mark III gyro launched during the half year.

  • Key features include:

  • Patented oiling system – Elimination of seals means no scheduled maintenance.

  • Custom low friction bearings – ~20% reduction in power consumption for small and mid frame models.

  • Internal fluid galleries - Removes 60 points of failure and reduces assembly time.

  • Purchasing hesitancy in 1HFY26 due to anticipated Mark III expected to lead to accelerating orders and sales going forward when combined with availability of the units.

  • Post launch of the Mark III which was a significant leap forward, development costs have peaked.

  • The Company continues to drive sales of its gyro range as the sole global supplier of large gyros for marine vessel stability applications, with several significant leads being pursued.

==> picture [332 x 313] intentionally omitted <==

16

Engineering Products and Services

  • Engineering products and services revenue (excluding defence) of $8.2m was down 5% and remained solid in the context of a large 13% increase in 1HFY25.

  • VEEM’s traditional engineering business focuses on foundry-led, precision engineered products, including custom designs and its own hollow bar products (e.g. Forever Pipe).

  • Demand generally for foundry-led, precision engineered products remains steady and is expected to continue.

==> picture [364 x 250] intentionally omitted <==

  • VEEM will continue to focus on recruitment and maintenance of labour resources through a number of initiatives.

VEEM LTD

Outlook – Propulsion & Defence

Propulsion:

  • Global demand for VEEM’s propellers is expected to pick up into 2HFY26 and beyond as marine sector begins to recover.

  • VEEM Extreme to be advanced with launch customers.

  • Expansion of offerings including shaftlines, flow-aligned rudders and brackets.

  • Automation drive continuing to drive efficiencies and protect margins.

Defence:

  • Defence revenue increasing in 2HFY26 as orders received from ASC are delivered into.

  • Entry into US defence supply chain delayed by government shut down but qualification work continues with several US defence contractors.

  • Completion of the Hunter demonstrator program will provide options to leverage off the high-level qualifications (incl security) with BAE/Kongsberg/Navy to supply other defence programs including overseas T26 programs.

  • Other defence work for a number of different prime contractors, including Austal, is also expected to continue.

  • VEEM is active and well positioned to take advantage of further defence work opportunities that may arise out of AUKUS and other defence programs.

==> picture [335 x 296] intentionally omitted <==

19

Outlook – Gyro & Engineering

Gyrostabilisers:

  • Mark III marketing and availability to drive sales going forward which have been reduced by purchase hesitancy in anticipation of the new model.

  • In addition to existing commercial and recreational market working to expand into defence and defence related sectors.

  • Understanding of the benefits of a VEEM gyro can deliver for commercial operators in terms of operational, HSE and commercial benefits continues to increase.

Engineering:

  • Steady demand for the traditional engineering products and services is expected to continue.

General:

  • Overhead cost reduction made in response to reduced revenue. On annualised basis $3.5m in overheads cut during 1HFY26.
