ASX RELEASE
QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT & APPENDIX 4C
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The consolidated entity, consisting of Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited and the entities it
controlled during the quarter, (“EOS” or the “Group”) has filed its Appendix 4C and provides the following
update on its activities for the quarter ended 31 December 2025.
1. KEY ACTIVITIES
Manufacturing and Delivery Activity
During the quarter, EOS in Australia and the United States continued the manufacture and delivery of
RWS for customers in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia and Australia.
Activity levels during the quarter were higher than in previous quarters due to the timing of customer
orders and delivery schedules.
During the quarter, EOS relocated its business activity in Singapore to a new facility. The facility
includes a new Remote Weapon System (RWS) service and support centre and a High Energy Laser
Weapon manufacturing facility.
During the quarter, EOS Space Systems continued to deliver on the backlog of contracts with the
Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Commonwealth of Australia.
Customer Order Activity
On 6 October 2025, EOS announced that it had secured a
contract for the delivery of RWS to Hanwha Australia for the
ADF LAND 400-3 Project valued at A$108m. Under this
contract, EOS expects to deliver an enhanced R400 RWS
which is planned to be fully integrated with Hanwha’s
Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The contract started in
2025 and is expected to be primarily fulfilled by EOS during
2026 and 2027.
On 17 November 2025, EOS announced that it had secured
a €11.4m/~A$20m contract to supply Slinger counter-drone
RWS to a Western European NATO country to address
urgent operational requirements. The contract started in
2025 and is expected to be completed during 2026.
On 15 December 2025, EOS announced that it had entered
into a binding, conditional contract with a customer in the
Republic of Korea relating for a High Energy Laser Weapon
(HELW) valued at US$80m/~A$120m. If the conditions are
satisfied, the contract will involve: 1) the manufacture and
sale of a 100kW HELW, 2) the establishment of a joint
venture between EOS and the customer to develop and
supply the Korean market, and 3) the licencing of intellectual
property relating to 100kW HELW to the joint venture.

As announced on 15 December 2025, the conditions of that contract include the payment by the
customer of the initial deposit (US$18m), the customer procuring the issuance of a letter of credit for
the remaining amount of the contract, and the customer inspecting and being satisfied with EOS'
Singapore facility.
A customer inspection of EOS’ Singapore facility has occurred and the customer has indicated it has no
further requirements in this regard. The customer has indicated that further work is required to finalise
the arrangements, including the initial deposit and letter of credit, and that this work will continue during
February 2026. Based on discussions with the customer, EOS believes this could be concluded in
February or March 2026.
On 19 December 2025, EOS announced that it had secured a US$21/~A$32m contract with a North-
American customer to supply R400 RWS to be integrated on Light Armoured Vehicles (LAV) for an end-
user in South America. This contract marks the entry of EOS into the growing South-American region.
The systems are expected to be manufactured during 2026 and 2027.
On 23 December 2025, EOS announced a US$22/~A$33m contract with General Dynamics Land
Systems to deliver RWS for integration onto a major U.S. Army ground combat vehicle. Manufacturing
will take place at EOS’ facility in Huntsville, Alabama, further establishing the Company’s presence in the
U.S. defence market. Work under this contract is expected to occur mainly during 2026, 2027 and 2028.
After the end of the quarter, EOS’ KiwiStar Optics business secured a contract to produce critical optical
elements for the World's largest ever optical/infrared telescope: Europe's Extremely Large Telescope
(ELT). KiwiStar's workshare for the program is ~€3m/~A$5m and is expected to occur mainly during
2026 and 2027.
Order Book Development Activity
The Contract Backlog at 31 December 2025 was $459m which represents a $323m or 238% increase
from 31 December 2024.
Contract Backlog – 31 December 2025
($mil)
The Contract Backlog only includes unconditional contracts and does not include the conditional Korean
contract noted above (valued at US$80m/~A$120m). Including the conditional Korean contract, the
total backlog would be $579m.
The conditional Ukraine contracts first announced on 2 and 25 April 2023 have been excluded from the
contract backlog and will be excluded going forward. Progress on this contract during the quarter has
been slower than hoped due to customer funding challenges (as previously disclosed).

Market and Business Development Activity
During the quarter, EOS engaged in several discussions with prospective customers for High Energy
Laser Weapon products. This included potential customers in Europe, the Middle East and Asia and
related both to EOS 100kW laser weapon products and also to potential future development projects
for higher power levels. The discussions have variously included a wide range of subjects about
potential future arrangements, including product capability requirements and potential demonstrations,
scope and timing of supply, supply agreements, local manufacturing joint venture arrangements,
strategic partnerships and strategic investments. Discussions are ongoing and there is no guarantee
of what form any future arrangements may take or that any of the above may eventuate.
In December 2025, EOS, as part of the Leidos Australia led LAND 156 team, successfully demonstrated
a mission-ready counter-drone capability for the Australian Defence Force, shooting down drones
kinetically. As previously announced, LAND 156 is an Australian Defence Force project to acquire
counter-drone capabilities over the next several years, with a total project spend of up to A$1.3bn. EOS
believes it is well placed to capture some portion of future LAND 156 contracts in the future.
EOS continued a wide range of market development activity for its Remote Weapon Systems, including
work in North America, Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia and Australasia.
In November 2025, EOS Space Systems was part of a Spaceflux-led consortium which was awarded
three major United Kingdom Government contracts for Space Domain Awareness. While initial contract
sizes are modest (less than A$1m), EOS believes this represents a key step into the fast growing UK
space industry.
During the quarter, EOS Space Systems continued to work to develop orders with existing customers
and potential new customers. This included demonstrations and detailed discussions with senior
military personnel from several countries in relation to a range of products and services, including Space
Control.
There is no guarantee that any of the above opportunities will be realised in the form of binding sales
contracts or any guarantee regarding the timing of revenue recognition and cash flows that may
ultimately arise, if any.
Business Combinations
In November 2025, EOS announced the acquisition of a new
interceptor capability from MARSS Group (MARSS) for a total
amount of €5.5m/~A$10m. Interceptor drones are a rapidly
emerging technology for kinetically defeating drones, with
relatively low collateral damage. As such, they are also well suited
for non-military use cases. The acquisition is consistent with EOS’
stated strategic intent of expanding its counter-drone capability.
After the end of the quarter, on 12 January 2026, EOS announced
that it had entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the
remainder of the MARSS group business. MARSS is a Europe-
based provider of AI-enabled command and control (C2) systems
which are critical for effectively countering drones.
The acquisition consideration comprises an upfront cash
payment of US$36m (~A$54m) and a potential earnout of up to
€100m (~A$174m) payable in a combination of cash and/or EOS
shares (see section 6 below).
Completion is subject to customary conditions precedent, including relevant customer, regulatory,
export and other approvals, expected during 2026. There is no guarantee that the acquisition of MARSS
will be completed. More details are included in the announcement of 12 January 2026.
ASX Listing Rules Appendix 4C (17/07/20)
+ See chapter 19 of the ASX Listing Rules for defined terms.

Financing Activity
Also on 12 January 2026, EOS announced that it had secured a commitment to a $100m two-year
secured term loan facility. The facility is intended to be available if required to support growth and
provide liquidity buffers, including working capital, across the expanded business and if required to
support payments for the acquisition of MARSS.
2. FINANCIAL SUMMARY
EOS’ total cash holdings at 31 December 2025 were $106.9m, representing a $15.4m increase from the total
cash holdings (including term deposits) at 30 September 2025. No term deposits were held as at 31
December 2025.
In addition to the total cash holdings at 31 December 2025, the Group had a further $41.6m of cash security
deposits held with banks to support bank guarantees and bonds.
OPERATING CASH FLOWS
The Net Cash inflow from Operating Activities for the quarter was $19.3m, compared to a Net Cash outflow
of $34.3m in Q3 2025.
Receipts from customers totalled $77.3m for the quarter, representing an increase of $60.8m compared to
Q3 2025. The increase primarily reflects milestone completions achieved on customer contracts during the
quarter, resulting in higher cash receipts.
As noted above, as at 31 December 2025 the order Contract Backlog was $459m, an increase of $323m on
the position at the start of the year. EOS expects in future to benefit from cash receipts arising from this
growth in order book.
Other cashflows from operating activities (excluding cash receipts from customers) amounted to net
payments of $58.0m during the quarter, an increase of $7.2m compared to Q3 2025. Other cashflows during
the quarter included payments for manufacturing and operating costs of $23.9m, and payments totalling
$28.7m for staff costs and administration costs (which were both higher due to higher activity levels) and
other items.
Payments made during the quarter are expected to support future customer deliveries and cash receipts,
including activity expected in 2026.
OTHER CASH FLOWS
The Net Cash inflow from Investing Activities for the quarter was $17.1m, compared to an inflow of $16.2m
in Q3 2025. This primarily relates to a receipt arising from the maturity of a $20.0m term deposit during Q3
2025, and was partly offset by a cash payment of $6.3m as part of the Interceptor business acquisition in
November 2025. The acquisition of the Interceptor business has been provisionally accounted for as a
business combination and further work is ongoing. In addition, the quarter included net cash proceeds of
$9.8m arising from the reduction of cash security deposits under performance bond following completion
of contract deliverables.
The Net Cash outflow from Financing Activities for the quarter was $1.3m, compared to an outflow of $1.0m
in Q3 2025. Financing Activities includes receipts of $0.1m arising from the issuance of equity securities,
which represents receipts from the exercise of share options under EOS Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan
(‘OEIP’). Further detail on the EOS OEIP are included in the EOS Financial Report published on 25 February
2025.

3. BORROWING SUMMARY
As at 31 December 2025 and the date of this announcement, EOS has no borrowings.
The Group continues to be required to comply with covenants under bond facility agreements with Export
Finance Australia, which facilitates the issuance of performance bonds and guarantees to support certain
supply arrangements.
During the quarter, the Group executed an amendment to its existing bond facility agreement with Export
Finance Australia to reflect changes in security deposit requirements for performance bonds and guarantees
following completion of contract deliverables. Under the amended agreement, after the end of the quarter,
the prior US$33.2m performance bond was replaced with a US$16.0m warranty bond to reflect the Group’s
warranty obligations and the cash security deposit is expected to be reduced during Q1 2026 accordingly.
The warranty bond is expected to be released upon completion of the warranty period in 2028.
As part of the amendment, the previous covenants were replaced with new monthly and quarterly covenant
requirements. The new covenants include a requirement that Tangible Net Worth exceed $220m and that a
minimum unrestricted cash balance of $35m is maintained.
In addition, subsequent to the end of the quarter, on 14 January 2026, the Group entered into an agreement
with Westpac Banking Corporation to issue a A$10.8m bank guarantee to a customer in Australia. The bank
guarantee was fully secured by cash deposits. The guarantee amount, together with the required cash
security, reduces progressively as key contractual milestones are achieved during the contract period.
For the quarter ended 31 December 2025, and in the period up to the date of this announcement, the Group
complied with its covenants and other obligations under the various facility agreements.
As noted in section 1 above, after the end of the quarter on 12 January 2026, EOS announced that it has
secured a commitment to a $100m two year secured term loan facility. The commitment has been made in
EOS favour and is exercisable at EOS’ option. The facility is subject to the finalisation of legal agreements,
which will contain representations, warranties and covenants (but will not include any financial ratio
covenants), as well as other customary terms and conditions. Entry into the facility will require the consent
of existing funding providers to EOS, including Export Finance Australia and the Group’s bankers.
Further details of the loan facility will be announced when the legal agreement is finalised.
4. OFFSET CREDIT OBLIGATION
As outlined in the Financial Report for the year ended 31 December 2024 (lodged on 25 February 2025), the
Group is obligated as part of its contract to supply a customer in the Middle East, to contribute to economic
development in the country as an offset against purchases of its products and services (“Offset Program”).
The obligation commitment is secured by an offset bond of US$16.9m (A$25.3m) which is guaranteed by
Export Finance Australia. In respect of this bond, a cash security amount of US$16.9m (A$25.3m) has been
placed on deposit. This is included in the cash security deposits identified in section 2 above.
As part of the offset program, EOS was required to develop, agree and submit an approved business plan, to
generate offset credits, to the offset credit authority. On 20 February 2025, the Group received approval from
the offset credit authority for the business plan.
During the quarter, in accordance with various approvals from the offset authority, EOS continued to take
steps to formally establish a 49% EOS owned JV with Shielders Advanced Industries. The intention of both
parties is that this JV will set up local manufacturing and assembly of EOS’ R150 Remote Weapon System
product in the Middle East.
Under the approved business plan, EOS has from 1 July 2026 until 1 July 2033 to set up the JV and earn the
relevant offset credits. This includes in kind contributions including the licensing of EOS owned IP, and
providing technical data packages and manufacturing knowhow to the JV.
ASX Listing Rules Appendix 4C (17/07/20)
+ See chapter 19 of the ASX Listing Rules for defined terms.
Page 6
Under the approval from the offset credit authority, the final form of the various agreements necessary for
the JV to manufacture and assemble EOS product in the Middle East, require the approval of the offset credit
authority in due course. As at the date of this announcement, EOS expects to achieve the necessary
approvals. Under the approved business plan in order to earn offset credits EOS must contribute not less
than AED 18.4m (approximately A$7.5m) in cash to the JV by 1 July 2026 unless otherwise agreed with the
offset authority. As at the date of this report, EOS has not yet contributed any cash.
EOS considers that it is currently in compliance with its obligations. In the event that EOS does not comply
with its obligations in future, the Offset Credit authority is entitled to demand payment under the guarantee
outlined above. EOS intends to continue to work to ensure it complies with its obligations.
5. TRADING UPDATE
On 31 October 2025, EOS restated a Full Year 2025 Outlook that it expected 2025 revenues to be biased
towards the second half of the 2025 year and that it expected full year revenue from existing contracts to be
between $115-125m.
Based on unaudited information currently available, EOS now expects full year revenue to be slightly above
the range previously indicated.
6. SETTLEMENT OF ASIC INVESTIGATION
On 26 November 2025, EOS announced that it has settled ASIC's investigation in relation to certain disclosure
matters in 2022. As part of the settlement, ASIC has applied to the Federal Court seeking declarations of
contravention of continuous disclosure obligations and a civil penalty of $4m. EOS supports the declarations
and penalty sought by ASIC. If approved by the Federal Court, EOS expects to pay the penalty during 2026.
Further details are included in the announcement of 26 November 2025.
7. ISSUANCE OF EQUITY SECURITIES
As noted in section 2, cash receipts of $0.1m arose during the quarter from the issuance of equity securities,
representing receipts from the exercise of share options under EOS Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan
(‘OEIP’).
As part of the proposed acquisition of MARSS, (see section 1 above), subsequent to quarter end on 12
January 2026, EOS announced the proposed issue of performance rights to MARSS management
shareholders upon completion of the transaction as consideration for the earnout component of the
acquisition.
These performance rights could vest into a maximum number of 23,529,411 EOS shares based on agreed
issue price of $7.40, subject to the completion of the acquisition and the extent of the satisfaction of the
earnout conditions as detailed in the announcement.

7.6 Export Finance Australia Bond Facility:
• During the quarter, the Group executed an amendment to its existing bond facility
agreement with Export Finance Australia to reflect changes in security deposit
requirements for performance bonds and guarantees following completion of contract
deliverables. The cost of the bond facility agreement is included in Item 1.5 as other costs
of finance paid.
Under the amended agreement, after the end of the quarter, the prior US$33.2m (A$49.7m)
performance bond was replaced with a US$16.0m (A$23.9m) warranty bond to reflect the
Group’s warranty obligations and the cash security deposit is expected to be reduced
accordingly during Q1 2026.
The warranty bond is expected to be released upon completion of the warranty period in
2028.
As part of the amendment, the previous covenants were replaced with new monthly and
quarterly covenant requirements. The new covenants include a requirement that Tangible
Net Worth exceed $220m and that a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $35m is
maintained.
The warranty bond is secured by a cash Security Deposit of US$9.3m (A$13.9m) and a
fixed and floating charge over the assets of the Group.
• Under the terms of a contract in Defence Systems, the Group signed an offset agreement
