Strong cash flow supports focused ANZ market expansion

AUCKLAND, 21 November 2025: Leading transportation technology services company EROAD Limited (NZX/ASX: ERD) today released its financial results for the 6 months ended 30 September 2025.
All numbers are stated in New Zealand dollars (NZ$) and relate to the six months ended 30 September 2025 (H1 FY26), unless stated otherwise. Comparisons relate to the six months ended 30 September 2024 (H1 FY25).


Financial Highlights1

•Continued improvement in Free Cash Flow position (to the firm) rose to $6.2m in H1 FY26 compared to $0.1m in H1 FY25. This improvement is the result of ongoing enterprise customer rollouts and price increases. When normalised for the temporary impact of the 4G upgrade program, free cash flow (to the firm) was $16.7m.
•Revenue climbed to $99.1m for H1 FY26 from reported revenue of $95.9m in H1 FY25. This represents a 3.3% increase against the prior comparable period. Growth in revenue was driven by a 6.7% increase in ANZ offset by negative 1.5% growth in North America. Subscription revenue, which excludes non-recurring hardware and service revenue, grew 5.4% against the prior comparable period.
•Annualised Recurring Revenue (restated)2 increased by $11.4m (6.9%) to $178.1m in H1 FY26 from $166.7m in H1 FY25, reflecting growth in ANZ offset by a decline in North America and favourable foreign exchange rates.
•EBIT declined to negative $133.9m in H1 FY26 compared to $2.4m in H1 FY25. Normalised3 EBIT, adjusted for a non-cash impairment to the North American assets, declined to $2.5m in H1 FY26 from $4.7m in H1 FY25 due to lower capitalisation of R&D and accelerated amortisation due to a large customer termination in North America.
•NPAT decreased to negative $144.2m in H1 FY26 from negative $1.5m in H1 FY25. The loss was primarily driven by an non-cash impairment to the North American assets of $134.7m.
•Liquidity remains strong at $62.3m with a $70m of credit facility limit against $7.7m of net debt to support growth and fund large enterprise deployments.


Operational Highlights

•Australian enterprise customer win to provide Cleanaway (ASX: CWY) with a comprehensive vehicle monitoring solution to over 3,000 heavy vehicles. The deal adds over A$5m of ARR, rolling out over the next 12 months.
•Asset retention remains high at 92.0% in H1 FY26 (NZ 92.1%; AU 95.5%; NA 91.0%).
•Substantial completion of 4G hardware upgrade with 87% of EROAD units 4G compatible in ANZ as at 30 September 2025, increasing to 89.2% at the beginning of November 2025. A further $2.5m - $4.5m is expected to be spent in the second half of the year to complete the program, which will free up considerable cash in future periods.

Executive Chair John Scott said, ”Our success ultimately comes down to people — customers, partners, and our team — and a shared belief that when you get those things right, everything else follows.

Few companies get to shape an industry twice. EROAD is one of them, and we intend to make it count.”

CEO Mark Heine is committed to financial discipline while progressing EROAD to its next phase of growth, “We’ll keep focusing on what we control: generating cash, delivering for customers, and directing investment where it creates the most value. The opportunity in front of us is significant, and the team is ready to make the most of it.

Across all markets, our priorities remain the same: deliver value to customers, convert that value into recurring, profitable growth, and generate cash to fund the next opportunity. The 3G network shutdown in NZ, now scheduled for completion in December 2025, will release additional cash capacity and simplify operations. We’ve also increased our investment in customer operations to lift the experience end-to-end, from faster onboarding to proactive support, so fleets can see value sooner and stay with EROAD longer.”


Outlook

Heine added, “Our disciplined focus on free cash flow gives us the opportunity to decide where growth capital should go. In October, we shared that new investment will be directed to the markets where opportunity and conversion are strongest – in the near term that is Australia and New Zealand. These are regions where we already have strong product market fit, credibility, and policy momentum. Governments in both countries are moving toward usage-based and time-of-use charging, and EROAD is uniquely positioned to help them get there.

The shift toward electronic and usage-based charging is one of the most significant infrastructure transitions of the coming decade. In New Zealand, the Government’s plan to move all vehicles onto electronic RUC represents a multi-year opportunity that builds directly on EROAD’s existing capability and credibility. Australia is now signalling similar intent, and we have previously worked with partners at both state and federal levels to help shape practical solutions. These programmes will require proven technology, data integrity and regulatory experience at scale, and no one has deeper, more proven experience in electronic road charging than EROAD.

We are on track to deliver on our revised FY26 guidance, communicated in October 2025, supported by the enterprise win in ANZ, price increases and continued growth in our core markets.”

•FY26 Revenue guidance of $197m to $203m
•FY26 ARR guidance of a $175m to $183m
•FY26 free cash flow (to the firm) margin of 5% - 8%, normalised for the 4G hardware upgrade program


Corporate Governance

To help drive EROAD’s strategy, EROAD recently announced the appointment of John Scott as Executive Chair. While EROAD has an Executive Chair, the Board has appointed David Green Lead Independent Director and an Executive Oversight Committee of independent directors has been established within the Finance, Risk and Audit Committee, to provide additional oversight.

The Board has also approved the Director’s Fixed Share Trading Plan, which is expected to start following the release of our H1 FY26 results. From 1 December 2025, half of each director’s after-tax fees, including John Scott’s temporary executive consultancy fee, will be applied to the on-market purchase of EROAD shares on a quarterly basis. This change in the composition of director renumeration will further align directors with shareholders and demonstrates their confidence in the long-term value of EROAD’s strategy.
