Retention and renewals In addition to new sales, there were multiple renewals with existing customers across North America and Asia Pacific in Q1 FY27. Growing sales contracts from existing customers remains a focus through icetana AI’s customer development and success efforts. Q1 FY27’s net ARR retention increased 4 percentage points QoQ to 104%, mostly driven by a large expansion sale to an existing customer through Millennium Services Group. Sales and marketing icetana AI made significant commercial progress in the September quarter, continuing to build out its US and APAC partner channels and convert pipeline into new ARR. Antara Core, the Company’s on-premise AI product, went live at its first commercial site during the quarter, with training completed and hypercare in process. A second site within the same shopping-centre portfolio commenced licensing from 1 September 2026. Both sites are under the combined $617,000 order announced to the market in June 2026. Product development During the quarter, icetana AI released version 7.1 of its Safety & Security platform. The update makes it quicker for security operators to review video. They can see a live view of a camera alongside a recorded event and scroll through recorded footage on a simple timeline. Customers can also let staff sign in with their existing work accounts, which gives their IT teams tighter control over who has access. Other product and technology activities included: ● Began SOC 2 attestation program and targeting a SOC 2 Type 1 report by 31 December 2026. SOC 2 is an independent security audit that many US enterprise buyers require before they buy. ● Added support for NVIDIA’s latest generation of AI processors, so customers can run icetana AI on the newest hardware. ● Made “Forensic Quick Find”, icetana AI’s tool for finding a person of interest across camera footage, faster and more accurate. It can now also be used from the live monitoring screen to search footage from just minutes earlier. ● Gave operators more control over the Watch Agent, which uses AI to watch cameras for situations described in everyday language. Operators can now see exactly what the AI has been asked to look for.

Built for scale, icetana AI eliminates the need for manual rule configuration or camera stream setup. Its self-learning approach adapts dynamically to each environment, making it ideal for complex, multi-site deployments such as retail, hospitality, public safety, transportation, education, and enterprise infrastructure. Today, icetana AI’s technology operates globally, deployed across 70+ sites, 20,000+ cameras, and in 15+ countries, providing continuous, intelligent monitoring that empowers organisations to stay secure, proactive, and efficient.
