ASX Announcement April 24th 2025 Quarterly Activity Report Q3 FY25 Highlights • Atomo secures an order worth $230k for supply of HIV Self -Tests in Australia and launches in New Zealand through Chemist Warehouse. • Atomo secures exclusive licence for a Novel Syphilis Test on Pascal. • Revenue: $1.02m (unaudited) revenue in Q 3 FY25 and bringing total revenue and income from grant funding for the first three quarters (unaudited) to ~$3.1m. • Cash receipts: Cash receipts from customers during the quarter were $828k, with a second milestone payment of $485k received for the CRC-P active syphilis grant. SYDNEY Australia, 24 April 2025 – Atomo Diagnostics Limited (ASX: AT1) ( Atomo) is pleased to release its Appendix 4C and quarterly activity report for the three months ended 31 March 2025 (Q3 FY25). HIV Self-Test Business Growth: Atomo continues to see growth in its HIV Self -Test product in develop ed markets where it enjoys improved margins (when compared to early adoption in global health markets). The company received a sizable order recently as part of the national scale up of the CONNECT Programme, to provide free HIV self -tests through Vending Machines across Australia. The initiative, funded by the Federal Government in the May Budget 2024, marks a significant step forward in the use of HIV Self -Testing by public health and reflects an increasing use of at-home testing to cost effectively address public health challenges. Thorne Harbour Health (THH) have placed an order for Atomo HIV tests worth ~$230 k to support initial scale up of the program nationally. This program represents a significant expansion of vending machine access to free HIV self-tests, a key pillar of the Federal Government’s self- test 2024 budget commitment and is in addition to and separate from the “MyTest” Vending Machine rollout now underway by the Ministry of Health NSW across the State.

Atomo’s HIV Self-Test has been registered for import into New Zealand with the launch of the product commencing this month through Chemist Warehouse, the biggest retail pharmacy chain in New Zealand. Image shows the Atomo HIV Self-Test on the shelves at a Chemist Warehouse store in New Zealand Atomo executed a partnership with Symbion, a division of EBOS Group and Australia’s largest pharmaceutical wholesaler. This agreement means Atomo’s HIV test is available through both leading national wholesalers — Symbion (EBOS) and API. With coverage to a potential 3,900 pharmacy stores in the Symbion network, many of whom are not covered under the API channel, nearly every pharmacy across Australia can now order our HIV Self -Test directly through their preferred wholesaler, with supported next-day delivery in most cases. Active Syphilis Test – Funded Development and Licencing Agreements now in place: Atomo previously executed a $2.44 million Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) grant with the Commonwealth Government in late 2024, receiving an initial grant payment of $485k in December 2024 and a further payment of $485k in March 2025. Funds have allowed Atomo and Burnet to progress analytical testing now ongoing to establish performance claims for the test and support commercial discussion with potential channel partners.

To support commercial engagement with potential partners, the company signed an exclusive licensing agreement with the Burnet Institute for their novel rapid Syphilis test assay. This agreement enables Atomo to commercialise the test on its Pascal cassette and allows the company to now seek commercial partners for key international markets as well as supporting conversations with our existing channel partners already selling the Atomo HIV test. Atomo amends agreement for supply of Pascal cassettes to Lumos for FebriDx: Atomo has amended its exclusive supply agreement with Lumos Diagnostics (ASX: LDX) (Lumos), for Pascal cassettes utilised by Lumos for their FebriDx rapid point -of-care test product, with the new agreement to remain in effect until 30 June 2031. The new agreement will see Lumos make initial IP licence exclusivity payments totalling US$180 k (A$300k) to Atomo during calendar year 2025. The agreement also commits Lumos to purchase annual volumes of Pascal, to secure ongoing exclusivity arrangements for the Pascal cassette’s use with FebriDx, with a shortfall fee mechanism agreed if annual volumes are not met. Beyond the initial IP licen ce fee payment, the agreement has committed revenues total US$3.4m (A$5.35m), based on FebriDx securing CLIA waived status from the FDA in the US market, following the trial that Lumos is currently conducting. In the event that FebriDx is unsuccessful in securing CLIA wavier status for FebriDx, committed revenues are reduced to ~US$1.8m (A$3.0m) over the life of the agreement. New Product Initiatives Atomo continues to work on adapting its proven capabilities and existing IP to seek to address new diagnostic markets and expand the adoption of Atomo rapid test technology into adjacent markets where we believe our solutions can help address unmet needs. Florey - Clip in blood test device (Under development): This device, which is still under development, incorporates Atomo’s blood collection and transfer system with its proprietary blister delivery technology to provide improved levels of usability and accuracy to a standard rapid blood test.

Unlike Pascal , which incorporates the existing test strip directly into the cassette, Florey is designed to accept a standard cassette and allows the test to be completed by the Atomo device. By not having the test directly onboard the device itself, Florey could become an accessory to the approved standard test. This makes it suitable for adoption by tests already approved and commercialised in market, as the regulatory barriers to adoption of Atomo’s technology are significantly reduced. Because the existing test cassette used with Florey can subsequently be removed, the device supports tests that need to be read in a desktop reader (a significant advantage, particularly in the US market where readers are very common in professional settings) Financials Total revenue & grant income (unaudited) of $1.02m for Q3 FY25, comprising $440k for HIV test sales, and Pascal (OEM) sales of $230k, with the remaining amount from development & other fees & grant income of $350k ; bringing total revenue & grant income for first three quarters of FY25 to ~$3.1m, representing a 27% growth in the comparative period. Operating costs for Q3 YTD were $5.2m (unaudited) compared to equivalent costs of $5.6m for comparative YTD Q3 FY24 period, representing a reduction of 8% in Operating costs for the comparative period, and reflecting the company’s continued focus on managing costs with further reductions in business costs being implement in the coming months. Cash receipts during the quarter were ~$1.3m, made up of $828k from customer receipts and $485k for CRC-P grant payment for active syphilis test, with Atomo finishing the quarter debt- free and with cash on hand of $1.97m.
