page 14
And

Andheadwind

Currency conversion cost reclassification into adjusted EBITDA

c.$2.4m of currency conversion costs included within adjusted EBITDA in 2025 (2024: c.$1.1m); excluding this, margin would have been 34.0% vs reported 32.1%

One-offs in the year

$1.5m charge: Restructuring, redundancy and transformation costs

page 108
What management said

We expect organic revenue growth exceeding 20% on a CAGR basis over the medium term, and an adjusted EBITDA margin exceeding 30% with progressive accretion from 2026.

Going concern and the audit

Directors concluded the going concern basis is appropriate, having assessed base and severe-but-plausible cash flow scenarios covering at least 12 months from approval. PwC (lead partner Mark Jordan) issued an unmodified opinion that the financial statements give a true and fair view; sole Key Audit Matter was capitalisation of development costs relating to internally developed software; overall materiality $1,288,000 (1% of revenue); no material adverse matters raised.
