Executive summary
Achieved breakeven EBITDA of $0.2M in FY25, a $9.8M improvement year-over-year, with both armor and technology divisions contributing positively and covering corporate costs.
Revenue grew 6% year-over-year to $48.1M, driven by both US and Australian operations.
Major investment and recommissioning of the XD Clave/XTclave™ positions the business for higher-margin product growth in the US.
Operational stabilization achieved through cost controls, inventory optimization, and a new executive team.
Financial highlights
EBITDA improved by $9.8M to $0.2M, with net loss narrowing to $1.2M from $12.0M in FY24.
Revenue reached $48.1M, up 6% year-over-year; gross margin declined to 23% from 30% due to discounted sales and inventory clearance.
Inventory reduced from $17M to $14M, freeing up $3M in cash.
Cash held at $5.8M with no debt or borrowings as of June 2025; market capitalization at $45.1M.
Employee costs decreased by $1.7M and operating expenses by $2.7M.
Outlook and guidance
FY26 outlook is strong, with anticipated EBITDA and margin improvements from new product launches and XD Clave/XTclave™ commercialization.
Growth expected without materially increasing operating costs, leveraging a stabilized cost base.
Global defense spending trends and new US administration funding expected to support market expansion, though short-term US government funding delays may impact Q1 FY26.
How will new XTclave products change market position?
When will inventory clearance stop impacting gross margin?
How will the U.S. sales restructure drive growth?

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
