Q4 FY2026 Trading Update

Ava Risk Group Limited (ASX: AVA) (“Ava Risk Group” or “the Company”) provides the following update on its Q4 FY2026 trading performance and expected financial performance for the year ended 30 June 2026 (FY2026).

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Q3 FY2026 Trading Update released on 1 May 2026, the Company highlighted uncertainty regarding the timing of several significant orders, particularly within the Middle East, due to the ongoing regional conflict and customer project timing considerations.

While the FY2026 financial results are subject to finalisation and audit review, the Company currently expects FY2026 revenue to be approximately $29.0 million, below the previously advised guidance range of $34 million to $37 million. The Company achieved sales order intake of approximately $29.4 million, exceeding FY2026 revenue and providing a foundation for FY2027.

The primary reason for the lower-than-expected revenue outcome is the delay in receiving and delivering some key orders (approximately $6.0 million) that had been anticipated to contribute to FY2026 revenue. Importantly, these opportunities remain active and are expected to convert in FY2027. The Company confirms that no material contracts have been lost or cancelled. These opportunities include:

  • The most significant delayed project relates to sovereign border protection in the Middle East ($2.8 million). The project has been impacted by the ongoing regional conflict, resulting in delays to customer procurement activity, site access and logistics planning. While some other orders in the region have progressed, this project has been delayed to FY2027. Ongoing engagement with the customer indicates that the project is expected to proceed though the timing remains subject to the customer’s final procurement and operational conditions.
  • Some North American based orders ($1.9 million) relating to system upgrades for an existing oil and gas customer and some planned orders for U.S. government sites. These orders are expected to close in H1 FY2027.

Despite the revenue timing impacts, the Company expects to finish FY2026 with:

  • Sales order backlog of $6.8 million including $2.6 million in contracted annual recurring revenue. The order backlog consists of equipment orders and multi-year service contracts.
  • Approximately $4.2 million of the backlog to be delivered as revenue during H1 FY2027.
  • Expected gross margins maintained at 60% to 64%.
  • Modest positive underlying EBITDA for FY2026.
  • Expected cash balance at 30 June 2026 of $6.7 million.

The Company’s strong gross margin profile and disciplined cost base provide significant operational leverage as delayed projects convert into revenue.

The Company notes that the delayed sales opportunities represents ~18% of expected FY2026 revenue, and accordingly the timing of a relatively small number of large projects had a disproportionate impact on the Company’s revenue outcome.

Operationally, the Company continued to strengthen its commercial capability in FY2026. Three of its senior sales leaders in the United States, Asia-Pacific and Europe individually contributed annual sales order intake ranging from $3.9 million to $5.0 million, validating the Company’s strategy of investing in senior sales leadership. The Company has recently recruited additional experienced sales executives in the United States, South East Asia and India. These individuals bring significant industry expertise and established customer relationships which provides the Board with confidence that the enhanced commercial organisation is well positioned to support improved performance in FY2027.

While the Company sees a clear pathway to improved revenue and EBITDA performance in FY2027, given the timing sensitivity of several significant opportunities and the early stage of the financial year, the Company does not intend to provide formal revenue guidance at this time.

Ava Risk Group Acting CEO Neville Joyce commented: “I am disappointed that some major orders, particularly in the Middle East, were delayed by factors beyond our control as the planning and product build for these orders was completed to enable shipment in Q4. Nonetheless, these remain active opportunities and, coupled with our sales opportunity pipeline, provide the Company with a strong platform for growth in FY2027. The fundamentals of the business continue to improve – sales order intake exceeding revenue, strong gross margins, positive underlying EBITDA, and a solid cash position.”

“We continue to strengthen our commercial team across several key markets, including the recent recruitment of sales executives in the United States and Asia Pacific. Combined with our sales order backlog and expected conversion of delayed opportunities, we believe the Company is well positioned to drive revenue growth in FY2027.”

Update on key industry segments and geographies in Q4 FY2026

  • Australian Aviation Sector: Ava Risk Group has been involved in a number of paid trials at Australian Airports for enhanced Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS), supporting the Department of Home Affairs’ nationwide perimeter security directive. During H2 FY2026 the Company successfully completed trials at both Canberra and Cairns airports, and during Q4 commenced comprehensive trials at both Melbourne and Perth Airports. These trials are expected to successfully conclude during Q1 FY2027. Success in these trials creates a path for implementation of the Company’s advanced fibre optic sensing technology in the Australian aviation sector. Identified sales pipeline opportunities in this sector expected to close during FY2027 exceed $2.0 million.
  • Transportation: Ava Risk Group expects to conclude the deployment of its fibre sensing technology to the Sydney Metro project during Q1 FY2027 in partnership with UGL. During Q4, the Company successfully tested its object detection technology on the rail corridor, a critical milestone in enabling the project to be finalised. Successful completion of this project is a key prerequisite to other Australian rail infrastructure opportunities to progress in FY2027.
  • India: Building on its previous success in the Indian defence industry, the Company successfully fulfilled a contract for the deployment of its fibre sensing technology to a critical pipeline within the Indian energy sector ($2.7 million). Final commissioning of the systems by the end user will occur during H1 FY2027. India remains a strong market for the Company’s fibre sensing technology with significant pipeline opportunities in FY2027 in both the energy and defence sectors.
  • During Q4, the Company closed numerous orders for U.S. government sites ($1.1 million) in the corrections and other security sectors. Full year order intake for FY2026 in the Americas was $6.2 million, though a number of significant pipeline opportunities relating to upgrades in the energy sector and other government sites ($1.9 million) remain open and have been carried into FY2027. The North American market remains a key focus for FY2027 and the Company has strengthened its commercial team to accelerate growth.
  • Ava Risk Group was appointed as a prequalified supplier to the Australia Department of Home Affairs, Border Protection Technologies Panel (BPTP), recognising the Company’s fibre optic sensing solutions as suitable for government border security applications. The panel appointment is for an initial five year term from 1 July 2026. This positions the Company to access a broad and recurring pipeline of Commonwealth contracts, enabling streamlined procurement and faster deployment of its intrusion detection systems across critical infrastructure. Beyond immediate revenue potential, panel membership strengthens the Company’s visibility with key government stakeholders.
  • The focus in Access remains on growing U.S. distribution using the dormakaba network. The Company is actively pursuing end user engagement opportunities stemming from dormakaba’s PRO-Alliance, dormakaba’s largest U.S. based marketing event which the Company participated in March 2026. Development of the Company’s updated reader range in Access remains on track for market launch / distribution in H1 FY2027.

Update on CEO search

The Company continues to progress its CEO search, working closely with Hale Capital to identify and evaluate a shortlist of high-quality candidates. The Board is actively engaged with shortlisted candidates and will update the market once the appointment process has concluded.

FY2026 Financial Results

The Company expects to release its financial results for the year ending 30 June 2026 in late August 2026. Further details will be provided to the market in due course.

Approved for release by Board of Directors

Ava Risk Group Appointed to Australian Government’s Border Protection Technologies Panel

Ava Risk Group Limited (ASX: AVA) (“Ava Risk Group” or “the Company”) today announced that its Detect Division, Future Fibre Technologies (FFT), has been appointed as a prequalified supplier to the Australian Government’s Border Protection Technologies Panel (BPTP), administered by the Department of Home Affairs.

The appointment, effective 1 July 2026, runs for an initial five-year term to 30 June 2031, with an option for a further five-year extension at the Government’s discretion.

The BPTP has been established by the Department of Home Affairs to support the operational capabilities of the Australian Border Force and to provide access to both existing and emerging technologies that strengthen Australia’s border security capabilities.

As a prequalified supplier on the panel, the Company is eligible to supply its Aura Ai-X and Aura Ai-XS fibre optic sensing platforms and associated services in support of Australian Government border protection requirements. FFT’s technologies are currently deployed to protect military facilities, airports, national borders and critical infrastructure assets in more than 50 countries worldwide.

The appointment further strengthens Ava Risk Group’s position within the Australian Government and defence sectors and recognises the Company’s long-standing expertise in delivering trusted perimeter intrusion detection technologies to some of the world’s most security-conscious government and critical infrastructure operators.

The appointment aligns with increasing government focus on sovereign capability and the protection of critical national infrastructure, including border facilities, ports, airports, communications infrastructure and other nationally significant assets.
Neville Joyce, acting CEO of Ava Risk Group, said: “Appointment to the BPTP is an important strategic milestone for Ava Risk Group and Future Fibre Technologies. It represents another step in the execution of our strategy to expand our presence in the Australian government and defence sectors.

“FFT’s appointment reflects increasing recognition of the role advanced fibre optic sensing technologies can play in protecting sovereign borders, critical infrastructure and other nationally significant assets. We look forward to supporting the Australian Government and Australian Border Force as they continue to strengthen Australia’s border security and national resilience capabilities.”

The appointment represents a significant milestone in Ava Risk Group’s stated strategy to expand its presence within the Australian government, defence and critical infrastructure sectors. The Company believes the appointment further validates FFT’s sovereign sensing capabilities and strengthens its position to pursue future opportunities with Australian Government agencies.

Appointment to the BPTP does not guarantee any minimum level of work or revenue to the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not presently expect the appointment, of itself, to have a material impact on FY2027 financial performance. However, the appointment establishes FFT as an approved supplier within an important Australian Government procurement framework and may provide access to future procurement opportunities over the term of the panel.

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Directors of Ava Risk Group Limited.

Q3 FY2026 Trading Update

Ava Risk Group Limited (ASX: AVA) (“Ava Risk Group” or “the Company”) provides the following update on its Q3
FY2026 trading performance and recent milestones:

  • Q3 sales order intake of $6.1 million, resulting in year-to-date sales order intake of $21.7 million.
  • Sales order backlog of $6.2 million including $2.6 million in contracted annual recurring revenue. The order
    backlog consists of equipment orders and multi-year service contracts.
  • Completion of the transaction with Hale Capital to secure a strategic investment in the Company of $7.0
    million via Convertible Loan Notes and up to $5.6 million via associated Warrants. Tranche 1 funding under
    the agreement of $3.0 million was received in January 2026 and Tranche 2 funding of $4.0 million was
    received in April 2026 following shareholder approval. The investment provides the Company growth capital
    with a highly aligned strategic partner to supporting U.S. expansion.
  • Full year revenue guidance of $34 to $37 million, reflecting some uncertainty on the timing of orders,
    particularly from the Middle East, driven by the current regional conflict.

Ava Risk Group Acting CEO Neville Joyce commented: “While sales order intake in Q3 was slower than anticipated
we a have a strong sales pipeline and our focus is on bringing those opportunities to conclusion in Q4. I’m pleased
with the progress we have made in some key segments such as aviation, particularly in Australia, as well as sovereign
border protection and energy infrastructure.

“It is also pleasing to conclude the Hale transaction and we look forward to leveraging that partnership to grow our
position in the U.S. Coupled with our strong technology footprint, it leaves the Company well positioned to drive
revenue growth in FY2027 and beyond.”

Update on key industry segments and geographies in Q3 FY2026:

  • Australian Airports Perimeter Detection: Ava Risk Group was selected to lead Australia’s most
    comprehensive enhanced Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) validation trial at Melbourne Airport,
    supporting the Department of Home Affairs’ nationwide perimeter security directive. The trial builds on
    successful trials conducted at both Canberra and Cairns airports and will be completed in Q4 FY2026. The
    Company is also conducting a validation trial of its technology at Perth Airport which will also be completed
    during Q4 FY2026. Success in these trials creates a path for adoption of Ava’s advanced fibre optic sensing
    technology across both Australian state capital cities and additional regional airports in FY2027.
  • An agreement was executed with the Australia Department of Home Affairs, Border Protection
    Technologies Panel (BPTP), recognising the Company’s fibre optic sensing solutions as suitable for
    government border security applications. This positions Ava Risk Group to access a broad and recurring
    pipeline of Commonwealth contracts, enabling streamlined procurement and faster deployment of its intrusion detection systems across critical infrastructure. Beyond immediate revenue potential, panel membership strengthens the Company’s visibility with key government stakeholders.
  • Telecommunications: The Company continues to expand its strategic footprint with Telstra, including the
    demonstration of Aura Ai-X across a multi-city nationwide roadshow (Together26) conducted by Telstra
    during March and April, targeting enterprise and government customers. Additionally, Aura Ai-X will be
    deployed on a new-generation network segment in regional NSW in May 2026 to enhance the detection of
    physical network threats. Ava continues to engage with senior network security leadership, with broader
    opportunities under review following recent technology validation projects.
  • A significant pipeline of key orders is expected to close in H2 FY2026 in the Middle East, associated with
    sovereign border protection and multiple energy infrastructure opportunities. The timing and fulfilment of
    these orders has been affected by the current conflict in the region. During Q3, the Company received orders
    for energy infrastructure protection ($1.0 million) which it plans to fulfil during Q4 FY2026 subject to site
    access. The expected order for sovereign border protection ($2.5 million) remains on track to proceed in
    FY26, though timing may be further affected by the current regional conflict. An additional order for $2.5
    million in the energy sector is now likely to be deferred until FY2027.
  • During Q3, the Company received multiple orders for U.S. government sites ($0.5 million) some of which
    were delayed from H1 FY2026. The sales opportunity pipeline remains strong with further opportunities in
    corrections and U.S. government sites expected to close in H2 FY2026.
  • The focus in Access remains on growing U.S. distribution using the dormakaba network. During March,
    Access was invited to participate in dormakaba’s PRO-Alliance meetings, dormakaba’s largest U.S. based
    marketing event showcasing their key products to their largest customers. Development of an updated
    reader range in Access was demonstrated at the U.S. ISC West Trade Show in March. This includes integration
    with Apple Wallet, enabling broader adoption of the readers.

Q4 FY2026 Outlook:

The focus in Q4 is to close and fulfill the significant sales pipeline opportunities, particularly in the Middle East and North America. Reflecting some uncertainty relating to the timing of orders in the Middle East, the Company provides full year revenue guidance of $34 – $37 million.

Update on CEO search:

The Company is actively engaged with shortlisted candidates for the CEO role. This process is expected to be finalised in H2 FY2026.
