Total assets YoY 18 Strategy Strategy – Reset for Product Led Growth Refocus go-to-market and customer support on a narrow set of highvalue, ideal Collaborate and Transact customers to optimize growth and reduce churn Target product and engineering on fewer, high-yield product extensions, for Collaborate and Transact for product-led growth in existing markets Restructure the organization and effort to optimally support GTM and product extensions, and yield cash and resources for growth Implement capital management plan to invest cash in innovation to diversify organic revenue, targeted M&A for fresh inorganic growth and shareholder returns 20 Strategy – Capital Management and Dividend • IR has a solid capital platform and expects to remain cash generative • The product set is sticky, but operates in mature, low-growth markets • The Company must innovate for product led growth and revenue diversification • IR’s Capital Allocation Priorities are: 1. Invest in innovation: – Allocate up to an additional 10% of TCV annually to product innovation for new revenue streams Targeting 3 – 5-year payback – Seek right-sized synergistic acquisitions to enter adjacent growth markets – 2. Targeted M&A: 3. Shareholder returns: – Board declared a $0.02 dividend, fully franked 21 FY25 Priorities & Observations FY25 Priorities • FY25 will be a transitional year, headlined by the appointment of a new CEO, refreshed Board and an emphasis on product-led growth. • IR’s strategic focus will be on: 1. Refocus go-to-market and customer support on a narrow set of high-value, ideal customers to optimize growth and reduce churn 2. Target product and engineering on fewer, high-yield product extensions, for productled growth in existing markets 3. Restructure the organization and effort to optimally support 1 and 2, and yield cash and resources for growth 4. Implement capital management plan to invest cash in innovation to diversify organic revenue, targeted M&A for fresh inorganic growth and shareholder returns 23 FY25 Observations We make the following observations regarding the current trading year: • Renewals book is softer to the prior year and is weighted towards H2 FY25. Renewals skewed modestly towards Transact and Infrastructure clients; • Collaborate churn expected to persist as clients migrate to a full SaaS environment; • Current new business & upsell pipeline is up on pcp, weighted to Collaborate. Increased focus on targeting larger enterprise customers across all products and geographies; • The effective tax rate is expected to normalise in FY25 given brought forward R&D tax credits utilized in FY24. 24 Disclaimer SUMMARY INFORMATION This document and the associated transcript (together “the presentation”) has been prepared by Integrated Research Limited (ABN 76 003 588 449) (IRI).

How: Provides a non-statutory alternate view of underlying performance by restating term licence fee revenue to be on a recurring subscription basis (i.e., overt time), rather than upfront at the commencement of a contract, per the statutory view. Other recurring revenues such as maintenance fees and cloud services, as well as other non-recurring revenue streams such as perpetual licence fees, professional services and onetime testing services are consistently treated, as part of proforma and statutory revenue views. 28 Full Year proforma subscription revenue Reconciliation of statutory to proforma revenue 2021 2022 2023 2024 2021 2022 2023 2024 A$M A$M A$M A$M Infrastructure 18.3 17.8 18.6 19.2 -15% -2% 4% 4% Transact 10.0 10.9 11.5 12.7 -5% 10% 5% 11% Collaborate 41.4 39.6 38.3 34.9 -16% -4% -3% -9% Proforma subscription revenue 69.6 68.4 68.3 66.8 -14% -2% 0% -2% Perpetual sales 1.2 0.6 0.3 0.3 -73% -53% -48% -7% Testing Services 4.3 3.8 3.3 3.1 -22% -11% -13% -7% Professional Services 8.4 7.1 3.7 4.6 -3% -16% -48% 25% Proforma revenue 83.5 79.8 75.6 74.8 -16% -4% -5% -1% Statutory revenue 78.5 62.9 69.8 83.3 -29% -20% 11% 19% Proforma revenue 83.5 79.8 75.6 74.8 Deduct Amortised licence fees Full Year Revenue Reconciliation to Statutory Accounts: (51.2) (51.9) (51.1) (50.3) Add term licence fees recognised upfront (excl perpetual licences) 46.2 34.9 45.3 58.9 Statutory revenue 78.5 62.9 69.8 83.3 29 Product TCV by Geography Rebound in Americas driven by large renewals APAC – A$M Europe - £M Americas – US$M 36.3 6.8 19.8 4.8 4.5 7.5 9.0 Jun-23 Jun-24 Renewal 21.3 13.5 12.3 16.5 Jun-23 New & Capacity APAC, down 32%: Renewal Strong renewals mainly in FY22 Transact • Large contracts renewed across all product lines • New & capacity driven by upsell to existing customers • Added 12 new customers • Added 10 new customers 3.9 4.7 3.7 Renewal New & Capacity Americas, up 71%: 0.6 Jun-23 Jun-24 • Note: Product TCV by geography excludes services and testing 5.2 29.5 Jun-24 New & Capacity Europe, down 25%: • Weak renewals period • Added 1 new customer 30 Glossary Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) equals to the monthly recurring revenue at the end of the period multiplied by 12. Cash conversion rate equals cash receipts divided by proforma revenue. Customer retention equals the opening customer count for the reporting period less customers who are deemed to cease purchasing from IR in the reporting period; this total is then divided by the opening balance and presented in percentage terms. Proforma revenue provides a non-statutory alternate view of underlying performance by restating term licence fee revenue to be on a recurring subscription basis (i.e., overt time), rather than upfront at the commencement of a contract, per the statutory view. Other recurring revenues such as maintenance fees and cloud services, as well as other non-recurring revenue streams such as perpetual licence fees, professional services and one-time testing services are consistently treated, as part of proforma and statutory revenue views. Net revenue retention equals recurring revenue generated from existing customers over a set period. Total Contract Value (TCV) means the total value of a revenue generating contract written in the period of performance less any residual value from a previous related contract. The value includes software licence and related maintenance, cloud, testing and consulting services bookings. Capacity sell or Upsell existing products sold to existing customers due to increase in usage. 31
