Outlook 2026 revenue guidance has been upgraded to $179m-184m 2026 ASSUMPTIONS: • Domestic Box Office: US$9.75b (unchanged) • USD currency: assumed at US$0.59 creating ~$2.0m headwind to the 2025 average/spot rate (US$0.58), original FY26 guidance assumed US$0.60 • Cloud transition projects: on track for the assumed FY26 targets for 1,300 sites on Operational Excellence and 700 sites on Digital Solutions 20 Guidance and aspirations: Vista Group’s 2026 guidance is based on a number of assumptions, including box office performance, foreign exchange, and the timing of key client signings and transitions. Guidance assumes there are no material adverse macro-economic and/or market condition impacts, and there are no major accounting adjustments, other unforeseen circumstances, or future acquisitions or divestments. Aspirations are not financial forecasts or guidance.

Glossary 25 Vista Cloud Capabilities: Operational Excellence – The final Vista Cloud capability, marking the completion of an exhibitor’s cloud journey. Digital Solutions – Vista Cloud capabilities representing digital solutions, including sales channels and marketing. These capabilities are marketed to clients as Digital Enablement and Moviegoer Engagement. Vista Cloud Platform – An aggregation of all clients using a Vista Cloud capability, including Digital Enablement, Moviegoer Engagement or Operational Excellence. Data Empowerment – The initial Vista Cloud capability which includes access to the Horizon data warehouse, and the Oneview app / AI podcast. Defined Terms: ARR – Annualised Recurring Revenue, which is a non-GAAP measure calculated as trailing 3-month Recurring Revenue multiplied by four. Contracted Enterprise Market Share – Management’s estimate of the Cinema segment percentage of the world market for Cinema Exhibition Companies with 20+ screens, excluding Russia, India and China. Domestic Box Office – The gross box office revenue a movie earns from ticket sales across North America (United States and Canada). EBITDA – a non-GAAP measure which is defined as earnings before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortisation, and “other gains & losses” (see section 2.3 of the 2026 Interim Report). Enterprise Client – Cinema Exhibition Companies with 20+ screens. Enterprise client sites are recognised from the date that the production environment is available for use. Exceptional Items – The cash inflow or outflow relating to transactions classified as “other and gains and losses” (see section 2.3 of the 2026 Interim Report). Free Cash Flow (FCF) – A non-GAAP measure calculated using the net movement in cash held, less cash applied to business acquisitions / earn outs, movements in borrowings, and cash used to settle exceptional items included within “other gains and losses” (see section 2.3 of the 2026 Interim Report). Incremental Costs – The costs incurred to onboard clients to Vista Cloud, and for escalated capitalised development costs (long-term BAU levels assumed to be $8.0m per annum). These normalised incremental cash costs are not expected to be incurred at full platform adoption. Recurring and Non-Recurring Revenues – Recurring Revenue is the portion of revenues that are expected to give rise to recurring cash receipts that will continue until the service is cancelled. Unlike Non-Recurring Revenues, these revenues are predictable, stable and can be expected to occur at regular intervals going forward with a relatively high degree of certainty. This classification of revenue is also expected to help investors understand the nature of Vista Group’s revenue. Underlying FCF – Free Cash Flows normalised for incremental costs incurred to onboard clients to Vista Cloud, and for escalated capitalised development costs (long- term BAU levels assumed to be $8.0m per annum). These normalised incremental cash costs are not expected to be incurred at full platform adoption.
