Outlook
• Strong customer sales of Senetas products to be maintained in FY2025
• Good sales pipeline growth in the June quarter provides solid momentum into FY2025
• A more significant reduction in Thales inventory is likely in FY2025 – which means lower inventory transfers
and therefore a negative impact from Variable Consideration
• We expect end customer sales in FY2025 (adjusting for Variable Consideration) to be maintained at a
similar level to FY2024
• Some key sales opportunities in the Middle East may provide upside to expected FY2025 revenue,
however, these opportunities remain uncertain and have long lead times so may not fall in FY2025
• In process of shipping largest order by volume via Thales for a new North African Government customer
• Votiro growth momentum expected to continue in FY2025
• Pipeline continues to grow and the new DDR product has already made a significant contribution to
that pipeline in its first few months – significantly enhancing opportunities in North American market
• APAC remains the largest market and most of the largest opportunities in the near term are there
• Cash flow breakeven target for Votiro remains the end of calendar year 2024, thereby limiting the
financial support required from its shareholders

Slide 6
FY2024 Highlights – Senetas Segment
• Senetas segment reported revenue in FY2024 was similar to the prior period
• Strong growth in customer sales of Senetas products and services by Thales was offset by lower
inventory transfers and the related negative adjustment to Variable Consideration
• Senetas units sold by Thales to end customers were up 48% in FY2024
• Revenue from those sales by Thales was up over 100%, with one of the key drivers being Senetas’s
largest ever single sales transaction to a customer in the Middle East during the second half of FY2024
• Senetas segment gross profit was up 7.2% to $18.1 million and gross margin increased 6
percentage points to 84%
• Senetas segment profit before tax after adjusting for Variable Consideration increased by 63%
(refer slides 17-18)
• Senetas segment reported profit before tax was similar to the prior period at $3.6 million
(FY2023: $3.7 million)
• Increases in operating expenses offset a higher gross profit – the key driver was increased
certification costs required to continue selling encryptors to North American government agencies
© 2024 Senetas Corporation
Slide 7
FY2024 Senetas Operations
• Strong growth in customer demand for Senetas encryptors included the largest single sale in
company history
• The Middle East transaction added over $2 million to Senetas’s FY2024 revenue and the related
maintenance contract will contribute an additional $1.4 million over the next 3 years
• With the global component shortages now having eased, Senetas’s inventory holdings have
begun to reduce, and Thales inventory has stabilised
• We expect both Thales and Senetas inventory levels will return towards more historic levels over the next
12-24 months
• The Senetas sales pipeline grew significantly through the 2023 calendar year but moderated
during the second half of FY2024 as sales transactions were completed. Sales pipeline growth
returned in the June 2024 quarter providing solid momentum into the early part of FY2025
• Core R&D projects in FY2024 included upgrades to Senetas’s 10Gbps encryptors, a new version
of the 100Gbps encryptor & re-certification required in North America
• Senetas has also conducted some Proof of Concept trials using Senetas encryption embedded on
Autonomous Vehicles. Further work is underway to open what could be a new market for the
company’s technology

FY2024 Financials – Votiro
• Votiro operating revenue was up 25% to $9.7 million driven primarily by growth in the Asia
Pacific region – the Asia Pacific region remains the largest contributor to revenue & ARR
• Votiro ARR was US$10.4 million – up 49% from August 2023 – with growth in all regions
• Total contract value was just over US$33 million, up over 50% since Aug 2023
• Votiro’s total sales pipeline was over US$35 million at July 2024
• Over 70 new customers and ‘upsell’ deals have been signed by Votiro since the beginning of
the 2023 calendar year – including 30 of which that have been signed in the 2024 calendar
year to date
• Votiro FY2024 loss after tax was $16.6 million (FY2023: $17.4 million) – including $3.5 million of
non-cash items
• $7.3 million of Votiro’s after tax loss is attributable to the minority interests in Votiro
• Votiro continues to target cash flow breakeven by the end of the 2024 calendar year

Slide 11
Votiro operations
• Votiro launched its new data detection and response (DDR) capability in the second half of
FY2024 (refer slide 13). This represents a major new opportunity, particularly for the North
American market
• Whilst DDR sales are only at the early stage, customer feedback has been very positive and
US$3.5 million of sales pipeline had already been built by July 2024
• Good growth in sales pipeline, ARR, revenue and cash flow through FY2024, but transaction
lead times remain longer than expected on some larger transactions
• Customer project delays, extended procurement processes and customer budget availability are
ongoing features in closing some deals
• Despite the delays, Votiro is not losing any deals due to these issues, it continues to win in
technology trials against its competitors, and is confident of strong growth into FY2025
• Overall customer renewal rate remained at >90%. Excluding the impact from Votiro’s
decision to discontinue support for some low margin end of life products in the Japan market
the customer renewal rate was >95%

• Senetas segment reported operating revenue was similar to the prior period
• Adjusting for Variable Consideration (refer slides 17–18) Senetas segment revenue was up 6.8%
• Higher gross profit reflects lower cost of sales as inventory began to return to more normal levels post
the component shortages, and higher end customer sales via Thales
• Reported PBT was in line with FY2023, but adjusted for Variable Consideration Senetas PBT in FY2024
was up 63%, reflecting strong growth in end customer sales

Slide 16
Impact of Variable Consideration (AASB15)
• AASB15 has applied to Senetas’s results since FY2019 (only the Senetas business segment has
been impacted by Variable Consideration to date)
• It requires the company to estimate and recognise the revenue expected to be earned from
customer contracts in the future, rather than waiting for the actual end sale before recognising
the revenue
• The practical effect of this for Senetas is that it must recognise in a reporting period the
revenue expected to be generated from the inventory held by Thales in the period in which
the inventory is originally purchased by Thales, before it is on-sold to customer
• Generally, as Thales’s inventory of Senetas products grows, AASB15 will increase Senetas’s
reported revenue, and as Thales’s inventory declines it will reduce Senetas’s reported revenue.
• The tables on the following slide highlight the impact of the Variable Consideration adjustments
to Senetas segment revenue and PBT over recent financial years

• Receipts from customers were similar to the prior period and in line with reported revenue
• Lower payments to suppliers and employees primarily reflects lower encryption manufacturing costs as a
result of Senetas’s lower inventory transfers to Thales during the period
• Movement in cash on hand reflects the Senetas segment profit and the capital raised by Senetas late in
the first half of FY2024, offset by Votiro’s losses in the period

• Slightly lower cash reflects the Senetas profits and the Dec 2023 capital raise offset by Votiro losses
• Increase in contract & lease liabilities primarily reflects payments in advance from Votiro customers and
movements in Senetas’s prepaid maintenance contracts. These amounts will be reflected as revenue in
future years as the relevant contract service periods mature
• Inventory on hand was lower as shorter component supply lead times allowed Senetas to begin
lowering inventory levels back towards more historic levels
