Net operating expenses of $143.0m were broadly in line with the prior comparative period despite a high inflationary environment. Second Half 2H FY26 underlying profit before tax of $60.7m declined 4.3% compared with 2H FY25 as the Australian dollar returned to levels consistent with the prior period. Net operating expenses of $142.7m increased 2.8% reflecting wage growth and the flow on impact of the conflict in the Middle East. (i) The Thule discontinuation loss recognised in 1H FY26 was predominantly attributable to the write-off of goodwill. The associated charge was reversed in 2H FY26, as the goodwill had been allocated to the Australian Aftermarket cash-generating unit and therefore was no longer separately identified at the original acquisition level.

Ranger was impacted by a recall during August and September 2026, while HiLux sales have been affected by a recent stop-sell on selected variants. Ranger reclaimed its position as Australia's top-selling vehicle in September 2026, highlighting the resilience of demand for ARB's largest platform. Sales of both ARBʼs core vehicle platforms, and the overall 4x4 vehicle market, are down by 16% in Q1FY27. Over half of the decline relates to known supply issues with Ford and Toyota, which are expected to be resolved. Toyota continues to forecast a strong finish to CY26, although this has not yet flowed through to domestic vehicle sales. As previously communicated, ARB's recovery remains closely linked to a recovery in Toyota sales volumes.

AGM EMERGING MARKETS ARB China Co., Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary, commenced operations in 2026, with local and Australian dignitaries attending the official opening. Setting up a local presence is a major step in re- establishing China as a key market for ARB, and initial demand has been strong. It also provides a foundation for further strengthening relationships with local OEMs, given both the market and its manufacturers are important to ARBʼs future. Africa represents a similar opportunity to Australia, with higher overall 4x4 vehicle sales and a lower fitment rate, but ARBʼs sales lag behind Europe and Latin America. ARB has a 30+ year heritage as a premium brand in Africa, with a loyal following and established distribution partners. The terrain, distances and dominant platforms (LandCruiser, HiLux, Ranger) mirror Australia, so our products suit the market with little adaptation. ARB has established a direct, in-market wholesale operation in South Africa. We took possession of a warehouse in Gauteng in September, and stock has started arriving in October. ARB will continue to work with its distribution partners in the region, while building on positive engagement with a number of local OEMs. CHINA AFRICA 24 The strength of the ARB brand continues to support future growth opportunities in emerging markets.

AGM US BUSINESS Despite ongoing economic and political challenges facing the US market, ARB recorded USD growth of 13.5%. All channels performed well including the wholesale business buoyed by the 4 Wheel Parts joint venture, Latin America, e-Commerce and the OEM business through Toyota USA. Poison Spyder has performed well in its first year after relaunch, with demand outstripping supply. A strong inventory pipeline has positioned the brand for ongoing growth. This sustainable growth across all channels continues to validate the ongoing investment into the US market. SALES ENGINEERING ARB USA has continued to deliver double-digit growth in FY26, with further growth expected in FY27. 25 US engineering centre now fully operational and scaling, with more engineers and new equipment for local prototyping and product development through FY27, bringing development closer to the market. Building a full range for full- and mid-size trucks across both suspension and fabricated protection, targeting the largest, most valuable segments of the US market. Completed the first fully US-led development - suspension for the latest 4Runner - putting ARB first to market and marking a major capability milestone. Collaborated with the Australian team to jointly develop solutions for key platforms such as the Tacoma and LandCruiser 250. New products are already contributing to sales growth. Next: Expanding suspension and protection across more platforms and broadening the canopy range for local vehicles.

OEM 27
Page 28
OE sales were $43.4M in FY26, down 27% on FY25. OE sales represented 6.2% of total FY26 sales which excludes the OE business outside of Australia. The decline was temporary, driven by a lull between major vehicle programs and constrained supply of key vehicles, rather than any change in ARB's competitive position. A partial recovery emerged in the second half. Toyota has announced materially improved vehicle supply in the first half of FY2027 of models core to ARB ʼs OEM business, which will drive further recovery. ARB has recently secured contracts for two future platforms with new US OEMs. New projects typically have a 2-year to 4-year development cycle. 1H FY24 2H FY24 1H FY25 2H FY25 1H FY26 2H FY26 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 OEM SALES ($M) AGM ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS 28

Sales declined 6.1% in Q1 FY27. Single digit sales declines in each of the Australian Aftermarket and Export markets were partially offset by strong growth in sales to Australian OEMs. Unaudited profit before tax grew in Q1 FY27, notwithstanding the decline in sales. Resilient sales margins achieved in Q1 FY27, continuing to trend in line with the overall rate achieved in FY26, reflecting: the stronger Australian dollar against the Thai baht, offset by lower factory overhead recoveries resulting from lower sales demand. Australian aftermarket revenue in Q1 FY27 was impacted by the mounting bracket recall on the N90 HiLux bull bar and subsequent field fix activity, the recall of the Ford Ranger due to airbag issues and the recent stop-sell of the HiLux. 36 AGM Q1 FY27 UPDATE
Page 37
ARBʼs Aftermarket business in Q1 FY27 performed ahead of new vehicle sales in a challenged economic environment. Fleet and the FLA business continued to outperform, the ARB Corporate retail stores showed growth while the ARB independent stores, dealership sales and wholesale business declined. ARB will pursue a more aggressive, product-first marketing drive for the balance of FY27. Mixed ARB Export results. Markets such as Africa, Europe and South-East Asia are achieving growth. However, new vehicle supply issues continue to impact the UK, and NZ demand is soft. The US aftermarket business continued to demonstrate strong growth in Q1 FY27. However, this growth has been offset by a decline in OE sales due to the maturity of current contracts. Early sales to OEMs indicate strong signs of recovery which is expected to continue based on OEM projections for key vehicle platforms. ARB has been successful in winning new OEM contracts, including in the USA, which will commence from FY2028. The Thai baht is hedged through to February 2027 at rates that compare favourably with the prior year. The Board believes that the Company is well-positioned to achieve long- term success through: 37 AGM OUTLOOK The Board believes that the Company is well-positioned to achieve long-term success through: Continued expansion of the Australian and NZ Aftermarket via the introduction of the Preferred Partner Program and new and upgraded retail stores. Strategic partnerships with key OE customers in Australia and internationally. A growing export business supported by ARB's own distribution channels in the United States. A strong balance sheet with $47.9m cash and no debt as at 30 June 2026. A deep engineering capability and a pipeline of new product developments, backed by increased investment in engineering and manufacturing, enabling ARB to capitalise on an evolving car parc. A well-balanced management team with a blend of long-term ARB and experienced external executives.
