19 • AI is both a disruptor and an enabler. IR is responding in three primary ways: 1. AI as innovation driver - embedding it into our product offering (eg. Iris). 2. Building new, stand-alone products that are born AI enabled (eg. IR Labs). 3. Integrating AI tools into operations to improve productivity. • While AI-led disruption will continue, IR has leverage: • Observability of the business-critical technology IR provides remains essential for clients. • Much of the data IR harvests lies deep within the client tech stack and is difficult to access (IR is trusted). • Trust of AI is an open issue for many clients operating in highly regulated verticals such as finance, government, health. • Observability data is complex, IR has built highly specialised capabilities over many years. • IR’s product strategy recognises larger clients are making decisions more cautiously, committing to shorter contracts: • Minimising deployment friction - build new products that can be more easily deployed and adopted. • Minimising pricing friction – SaaS products do not require the client to commit up front, cost is usage based. • Minimising contract friction – incorporate new products into client contracts to avoid additional contract cycles.

20 FY26 Results • FY26 final fully franked dividend of $0.05 per share comprising of an ordinary dividend of $0.03 per share (FY25: $0.02) and a special dividend of $0.02 per share. • Lower FY26 revenue reflective of softer renewals book and new business contribution (impacted by cautious market/protracted procurement cycles, AI disruption, reduced average contract term). • Continued cost management discipline - strong FY26 cash generation, closing cash of $51.7m. • First AI-powered products released. Continued product -led growth execution • Ongoing product investment to build additional new products. Investment in product -led growth to impact profit performance over the short to medium term. • Closer client engagement established in FY26 to be further expanded in support of new product development. • Continued focus on sales and new product commercialisation seeks to minimise churn and secure a growing contribution from new client, expansion and SaaS revenues. • FY27 renewals book weighted to 2H.

24 EBITDA CASH FLOW BRIDGE ($M) • FY26 Pro forma EBITDA exceeded statutory EBITDA by $10.8m, reflecting add backs for pro forma revenue differential, and cost adjustments for doubtful debts aligned with the pro forma revenue recognition. Over-time revenue conversion deducts “upfront” licence fees and adds back the (“over-time”) amortised licence component that relates to the reporting period. Sales commission costs and expected credit losses associated with this timing difference are also adjusted to ensure revenues and expenses are matched to the correct reporting period. FINA NCIA LS Net cash from operating activities of $12.6m, up from $8.7m in FY25. Interest received of $3.6m and dividends paid of $3.5m. Closing cash of $51.7m, up 27% on Jun 25, with no debt.

26 RECONCILIATION OF REVENUE AND PRO FORMA REVENUE, AND NET PROFIT AFTER TAX (NPAT) TO EBITDA AND PRO FORMA EBITDA 1 Pro forma revenue provides a non-statutory alternate view of underlying performance by restating term licence fee revenue to be on a recurring subscription basis (i.e., over time), rather than upfront at the commencement of a contract, per the statutory view. Other recurring revenues such as maintenance fees and cloud services, as well as other non-recurring revenue streams such as perpetual licence fees, professional services and one-time testing services are consistently treated, as part of pro forma and statutory revenue views. 2 EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation) is a non-IFRS measure used to evaluate the Company's operating performance by focusing on profit from core operations and excluding the effects of capital structure, tax rates, and non -cash accounting items like depreciation and amortisation. 3 Pro forma EBITDA provides a non -statutory alternate view of the underlying operating performance of the Company by using pro forma revenue instead of statutory revenue and then deducting operating expenses after adjusting commission costs and expected credit losses for timing differences, to ensure revenues and expenses are matched to the correct periods.

28 GLOSSARY EBITDA EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation) is a non-IFRS measure used to evaluate the Company's operating performance by focusing on profit from core operations and excluding the effects of capital structure, tax rates, and non-cash accounting items like depreciation and amortisation. Pro forma Revenue provides a non-statutory alternate view of underlying performance by restating term licence fee revenue to be on a recurring subscription basis (i.e., over time), rather than upfront at the commencement of a contract, per the statutory view. Other recurring revenues such as maintenance fees and cloud services, as well as other non- recurring revenue streams such as perpetual licence fees, professional services and one-time testing services are consistently treated, as part of pro forma and statutory revenue views. Pro forma EBITDA provides a non-statutory alternate view of the underlying operating performance of the Company by using pro forma revenue instead of statutory revenue and then deducting operating expenses after adjusting commission costs and doubtful debts provision for timing differences, to ensure revenues and expenses are matched to the correct periods. New Business Total Contract Value (TCV) means the aggregate TCV for new clients, cross-sell and upsell clients. Total Contract Value (TCV) means the total value of a revenue generating contract written in the period of performance less any residual value from a previous related contract. The value includes software licence and related maintenance, cloud, testing and consulting services bookings. Expansion revenue means revenue from cross sell or upsell to existing clients.
