Where we have come from…
• Historical revenue performance has been overly reliant on contract renewals, the value
of which fluctuates each year.
• Revenue from new clients and expansion of existing client contracts has been
inconsistent and insufficient to offset fluctuations in renewals book and the impact of
churn.
• Under investment in new products in recent years has compounded reliance on
renewals and constrained new business growth.
4
IR has reset its strategy to focus on product-led growth
• Significant investment of available capital and future cashflow to develop and
commercialise new products.
• New products are focused on building new revenue opportunities with:
• new clients in existing markets and/or new markets
• expansion of existing clients
• Investment in product-led growth is:
• designed to position the company for sustainable growth over the medium to long term
• expected to reduce profits over the short to medium term
5
Product-led growth underway
• August 2024: product-led growth strategy announced.
• October 2024: new CEO commenced.
• Over the last 8 months the Company has released multiple new products, highlights
include:
• High Value Payments (released December 2024) – reduces compliance, liquidity and
commercial risk associated with high value payments for banks. Top 10 US bank
signed.
• Prognosis Elevate (released July 2025) – Prognosis hosted by IR. Removes activation
and maintenance complexity for clients, reduces client cost of ownership.
• Iris (beta released July 2025) – first release of the Company’s new AI product: a natural
language query interface, provides clients with greater insights, powered by AI.
• IR Labs – completed idea validation and prototyping a new, AI powered stand-alone
product offering.
6
Observations
Opportunities
• IT ecosystems inside enterprise grade organisations are more complicated, the need for
observability is expanding, not contracting.
• AI and machine learning (ML) is an innovation and value accelerator.
• First order benefits of AI and ML are unlocked with high fidelity data: Prognosis harvests market
leading data.
• Company DNA: observability pioneer with deep expertise, 30 years experience.
• Blue chip, global client base.
Challenges
• Duration of client contracts for Collaborate likely to continue to reduce in line with clients
reducing forward contract commitments across their vendor mix.
• Enterprise grade organisations pursuing cost efficiencies.
• New client revenue + expansion revenue is not yet sufficient to offset persistent churn.
• FY26 renewals are softer than FY25.

• Under statutory revenue:
• the licence component of a contract is
recognised up-front, and can be lumpy, rather
than over the life of the contract
• subscription fees and maintenance revenue are
recognised over the life of the contract
• services are recognised as and when performed
• The decrease in statutory revenue reflects:
• a softer FY25 renewal book (versus FY24)
• new client contracts expected to close in 2H of
FY25 delayed into FY26 due to market
uncertainty, particularly in the Americas
• Statutory revenue trends with Total Contract Value
(TCV), which will now be reported in appendices.

Consumption based revenue
• Product-led growth strategy is focused on new revenue opportunities with:
• new clients (new client revenue)
• expansion of existing clients (expansion revenue)
• Subscription revenue is consumption-based revenue, where clients pay a variable fee based on
level of usage:
• consumption-based revenue is valued for its potential to contribute organic growth over time
• the Company plans to commercialise select new products under a consumption-based
revenue model

Management
FY26 Capital Allocation Framework
Investing for Product-Led Growth
Capital Allocation
•
•
•
Product-led growth investment in FY25 was foundational: key talent secured, development platform
established, early-stage progress via new product releases - modest deployment of capital.
Product-led growth investment in FY26 will substantially increase: with the foundations in place
acceleration is a critical focus.
Dividend policy – pay a minimum dividend of 25% of free cash flow annually.
Objectives
•
•
•
New, differentiated products and capabilities focused on establishing new revenue streams.
Secure new clients and expand existing client accounts.
Selectively introduce consumption-based pricing to lift organic revenue growth over time.
Principles
•
•
•
ROI driven investment lens, milestone-based approach.
Align to medium and long-term value creation.
Preserve minimum capital contingency and maintain strong liquidity.
18
Key Take-Aways
Where we have come from…
• Historical revenue performance has been inconsistent and reflects the fluctuating value
of annual renewals book.
• Revenue from new clients and expansion revenue has been insufficient to absorb
fluctuations in renewals book and the impact of churn.
• Under investment in new products in recent years has compounded reliance on
renewals and constrained new business growth.
20
Investing for product-led growth
• Capital position now provides for significant FY26 investment to accelerate development
and commercialisation of new products: IR’s growth strategy is product-led.
• Investment in product-led growth is:
• designed to position the company for sustainable growth over the medium to long term
• expected to reduce profits over the short to medium term
• Foundational work completed in FY25 and early progress:
• High Value Payments (released December 2024) – Top 10 US bank signed
• Prognosis Elevate (released July 2025) – Prognosis hosted by IR
• Iris (beta released July 2025) – first release of the Company’s new AI product
• IR Labs – completed prototyping of a new, AI powered stand-alone product offering
21
Investing for product-led growth means…
• The company is positioning for sustainable growth over the medium to long term.
• Investment of capital and future profits will be disciplined; milestone-based, ROI led
approach.
• Profit performance will dampen over the short to medium term - softer FY26 renewals
book, investment in new products.

Finance income
1 Pro forma 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 nonrecurring revenue streams such as perpetual licence fees, professional
services and one-time testing services are consistently treated, as part of pro
forma and statutory revenue views.
2 EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation) is a
non-IFRS measure used to evaluate the Company's operating performance
by focusing on profit from core operations and excluding the effects of
capital structure, tax rates, and non-cash accounting items like depreciation
and amortisation.
3 Pro forma EBITDA provides a non-statutory alternate view of the underlying
operating performance of the Company by using pro forma revenue instead
of statutory revenue and then deducting operating expenses after adjusting
commission costs for timing differences, to ensure revenues and expenses are
matched to the correct periods.
