X2M Connect Limited HALF-YEAR REPORT

31 December 2025

APPENDIX 4D

Key points

The first half of FY26 saw X2M deliver strong performance on several key business metrics compared with results for the previous corresponding period (pcp). Key operational metrics for the half year were as follows:

  • Revenue $4.9 million, up 45% on the pcp

  • Gross profit $2.1 million, up 35% on the pcp

  • Operating expenditure was $3.6 million, up 12% on the pcp

  • Adjusted EBITDA* loss $1.2 million, an improvement of 10% on the pcp

  • Enterprise/government customers increased to 88, up 10% on the pcp

  • Total cash as at 31 December 2025 was $1.9 million

  • Net debt as at 31 December 2025 was $0.2 million

  • 1H FY26 cash generated from operating activities was $0.1 million, versus cash burn of $1.8 million in pcp, mainly attributable to timing of the R&D refund and operational performance improvements

Group Commentary

Revenue was $4.9 million, up 45% on the pcp, reflecting a stronger market in South Korea, an increase in the Company’s market share, initial deliveries of the Seoul HelpMe devices and first revenue from water digitisation in Japan.

Cost of sales at $2.8 million, was up 54% on the pcp, or $1 million, in line with revenue growth and product mix.

Operating expenses increased by 12% on pcp to $3.6 million. This was largely due to $0.25 million in product replacement costs in respect of historical deployments. Normalised growth of operating costs excluding these would be 5% on the pcp reflecting costs associated with growth in the business.

Non-cash share based payments were $0.5 million (pcp: $0.5 million), including options issued to Directors as part of cash outflow reduction initiatives.

Finance costs were $0.7 million (pcp: $0.7 million), mainly driven by non-cash effective interest accrued on the convertible notes and convertible loans.

The Group has recognised a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 million (31 December 2024: Nil). This largely reflects FY25 results, with forecast growth now coming from a lower base.

Financial position

The Group's cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2025 were $1.9 million, an increase of $0.2 million from 30 June 2025.

Segment performance

South Korea

South Korea operation was profitable in 1H FY26, delivering adjusted EBIT of $0.04 million (31 December 2024: EBIT loss of $0.02 million). This was driven by significant revenue growth and continued effort to lower production costs. South Korea achieved revenue of $4.2 million, up 43% on the pcp.

During the period, X2M secured multiple new and repeat water digitisation contracts with municipal government customers, including the major metropolitan customer City of Seoul. X2M advanced delivery of remote water monitoring under its latest Seoul water digitisation mandate, covering 6,750 households, as part of the City’s broader long-term program to digitise all water meters by 2040. X2M also delivered the first 30,000 units of the 100,000 contracted HelpMe public safety devices. With X2M providing services across water and public safety, Seoul remains a strategically significant customer with substantial future expansion potential.

X2M Connect Limited DIRECTOR’S REPORT

31 December 2025

Taiwan

Taiwan achieved revenue of $0.4 million, up 88% on the pcp.

In Taiwan, where the Company earlier released ‘ Hive.AI by X2M’ , a data aggregation and AI enablement platform for renewable energy operators, a good prospect pipeline has been developed with first sales now secured.

Taiwan reported an adjusted EBIT loss of $0.2 million (31 December 2024: $0.4 million).

Other

The Other segment consists of Japan and Australia. Australia continued to be the cost centre for corporate costs including head office expenses and R&D software development costs. This segment reported revenue of $0.3 million, up 29% on the pcp; and an adjusted EBIT loss of $1.2 million (31 December 2024: $1.8 million). Improved performance was mainly driven by entering Japanese water digitisation market through a new software development agreement with Azbil Kimmon, extending an established six-year gas monitoring partnership into the water sector. The initial contract is valued at $0.2 million and supports the deployment of X2M’s SaaS platform across 5,000 water meters, with scope to expand the current project to cover up to 50,000 meters. During the quarter, X2M commenced platform development and integration activities to support Azbil Kimmon’s smart water metering service, marking a strategic entry point into a large and under-digitised industry. The total addressable SaaS market for water meter monitoring in Japan is estimated at $100 million per annum based on the 60 million existing water connections.

$0.5 million of non-cash share based payments were incurred, mainly attributable to securities issued to key management personnel and employees under an incentive plan, and options issued to Directors as part of cash outflow reduction initiatives. Finance costs were $0.7 million (pcp: $0.7 million), mainly attributable to non-cash effective interest accrued on the convertible notes and convertible loans.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

During the period, the Group raised approximately $5.4 million before costs through a Placement and Entitlement Offer. In addition, approximately $2 million of borrowings at 30 June 2025 were converted to equity. These funds strengthened X2M's balance sheet and allowed the repayment of debt, including convertible notes and convertible loans.

As part of a renaming initiative, the company's wholly owned Taiwan and Japan subsidiaries changed names to X2M Co. Ltd. and X2M KK respectively.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial period.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial period

Subsequent to half year end, the Group successfully extended the expiry of two convertible loans totalling $1.5 million to 31 March 2026 and increased the total value of the loans to $1.8 million.

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

Auditor's independence declaration

A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out immediately after this directors' report.

31 December 2025

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover X2M Connect Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of X2M Connect Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the period (referred to hereafter as “X2M” or as the “Group”). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is X2M Connect Limited's functional and presentation currency.

X2M Connect Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:

Suite 1.01b, Building B, 18-24 Ricketts Road, Mount Waverley VIC 3149

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.

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

Note 2. Material accounting policy information

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with Australian 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'.

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

All new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that were mandatory for the current reporting period have been adopted, the adoption of which had no impact on the performance, cash flows and position of the Group presented in these financial statements.

Going concern

The consolidated financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities, funding of operating activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group has incurred a loss after tax of $3,254,622 during the half year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: loss of $3,175,935) and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,698,781 (2024: net outflow of $3,095,295). As at 31 December 2025 the Group had a net deficiency in equity of $4,488,424 (30 June 2025 net deficiency: $8,851,024) and had a working capital deficiency, being current assets less current liabilities, of $4,034,547 (30 June 2025: $8,297,097). Included in the loss for the year were non-cash charges including:

(i) Impairment of capitalised development costs of $1,207,942 (2024: Nil)

(ii) Depreciation and amortisation expenditure of $147,347 (2024: $811,684)

(iii) Share based payments expense of $464,325 (2024: $457,066)

14

X2M Connect Limited NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

31 December 2025

Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)

During the period, the Group successfully completed an Entitlement Offer and Placements, raising $5.4 million before costs. The Group also converted approximately $2 million of borrowings into equity. Proceeds from the capital raising activities were utilised to fund strategic initiatives, operating activities and repayment of debt.

Cash flow forecasts prepared by management indicate that the Group will have sufficient funds to meet commitments over the next twelve months from the date of this report. These cashflow projections assume the Group's ability to achieve sales growth, prudent control on expenditure and successful capital management initiatives via additional debt facilities and/or raising additional equity capital.

Based on these factors, it is the view of the Directors that the Group is expected to continue as a going concern. The Directors acknowledge that this assessment incorporates a number of assumptions and judgements and have concluded that the range of possible outcomes considered in arriving at this support the Group's ability to continue as a going concern as at the date of this report.

In the event that the cash flow forecasts are not achieved or, if required, the Group is unable to obtain new debt facilities and/or equity capital, assets may not be realised and liabilities settled at amounts stated in the financial statements. Consequently, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas of assumptions and estimates are:

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

Revenue from contracts with customers

When recognising revenue in relation to the sale of goods to customers, the key performance obligation of the Group is considered to be the point of delivery of the goods to the customer, as this is deemed to be the time that the customer obtains control of the promised goods and therefore the benefits of unimpeded access.

Recognised amounts of platform subscriptions revenue reflect the Group's best estimate of each contracts outcome and progress towards completion of performance obligations. Changes in estimates related to service revenue are recorded as an increase or decrease to revenue in the period that the changes are identified.

R&D Tax Incentives

Under the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive scheme, the Group receives a 18.5% refundable tax offset above the Group’s tax rate, of eligible expenditures if its turnover is less than $20 million per annum provided it is not controlled by income tax exempt entities. A R&D plan is required to be filed with AusIndustry in the following financial year, and based on this filing, the Group would be able to receive the incentive in cash. Management performs a detailed review of the Group’s total research and development expenditure to determine the potential claim under the R&D tax incentive legislation. There is a significant degree of judgement and interpretation of the R&D tax legislation required by management to assess the eligibility of the R&D expenditure under the scheme. This is to avoid the risk that expenses claimed are ineligible and the methodology adopted is not appropriate or not in accordance with the ATO guidelines including inaccurate calculations of the R&D tax incentive refund.

X2M Connect Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 December 2025

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets including intellectual property at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions (refer to note 10).

Note 4. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on business activities in South Korea, Taiwan and Other. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in assessing the performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The principal continuing activities of the Group consisted of carrying on its business to deploy devices and connect them to its proprietary software platform, where the Company generates upfront hardware and software revenue and platform subscription and maintenance fees, which is broadly consistent across all geographical regions.

The Other segment comprises Australia, which is a cost centre for corporate costs including head office, R&D and software development; Japan and United Arab Emirates transactions with the Australian entity.

The China business was discontinued in June 2025 following the resolution by the Board to exit and close this business. The segment information reported does not include any amounts for these discontinued operations, which are described in more details in Note 8.

Intersegment transactions

Intersegment transactions were made at market rates. These transactions included internal services provided by Australian head office to overseas subsidiaries and intersegment sales. Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Intersegment receivables, payables and loans

Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.

Major customers

During the half year ended 31 December 2025, four customers from South Korea contributed $2,392,075, representing 48% of total external revenues.

Note 8. Discontinued operations

Description

During the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group’s Board resolved to discontinue its operations in China. This decision followed a strategic review which identified that the China business was primarily focused on lowermargin hardware sales with unfavourable payment terms and other challenges. These characteristics were inconsistent with the Group’s revised strategic focus on higher-margin, recurring revenue streams and scalable platform services.

Accordingly, as disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025, the China operations were treated as a discontinued operation in accordance with AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The results of the discontinued operation are presented separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the current and comparative periods. Comparative information has been re-presented where necessary to conform with this presentation.

The Group undertook a review of impairment indicators as at 31 December 2025. This review considered both internal and external sources of information, including changes in market conditions, financial performance, and strategic direction.

Although there were not any indicators of impairment identified for capitalised development costs and other intangible assets at 31 December 2025, management reflected on the fact that existing impairment provisions that was recorded at 30 June 2025 and performed an impairment test using the value-in-use methodology, consistent with the requirements of AASB 136.

The value in use was determined based on management’s best estimates of future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate rate reflecting the risks associated with the assets. Base cash flow projections were used and adjusted to ensure the assumptions applied were reasonable and supportable.

The analysis concluded that the recoverable amount of these assets was nil, and accordingly, the entire carrying value of the affected intangible assets of $1.2m was impaired.

The impairment of $1.2m has been recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Key assumptions included within the impairment model include:

  • a giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and

  • b 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 our audit of the annual financial report in Australia.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards 27 Legislation.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a loss after income tax expense of $3,254,622 during the half-year ended 31 December 2025 and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,698,781. As of that date, the Group had a net deficiency in equity of $4,488,424 and had a working capital deficiency, being current assets less current liabilities, of $4,034,547. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Directors’ responsibility for the half-year 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. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, 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 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.
