organisations stay secure and resilient‚
while building a stronger and more focused
Infotrust.”

Infotrust Annual Report 2026
Over the year, we simplified the Company around a clear
purpose: to build a scaled, trusted Australian sovereign
cyber security and digital resilience business. We exited our
remaining legacy communications operations, repaid our
senior bank debt, expanded our specialist cyber capability
and Federal Government presence through the acquisition of
Catalyst Cyber, and strengthened the executive leadership
team.
The Company has also appointed a number of new senior
executives including Mr Paul Timmins as CEO and Mr David
Clanchy as CFO, bringing decades of experience to the
executive team.
Cyber security and digital resilience are increasingly
inseparable. Organisations need to protect themselves
against an expanding range of cyber threats, but they also
need the underlying technology environments on which they
depend to remain secure, available and recoverable through
disruption.
Key Milestones
In March, we completed the divestment of the Cloud and
Communications segment. The transaction was exiting the
last of Infotrust’s legacy communications businesses and
enabled the Company to repay its senior bank debt in full.
Infotrust now operates as a single cyber security and digital
resilience business under one brand and with a simpler
operating model.
In April 2026, we acquired Catalyst Cyber, a Canberra-based
cyber security consultancy focused on Federal Government
customers. Catalyst expands our customer reach into
Federal Government with our sovereign capability and adds
specialist expertise across cyber security advisory, security
engineering, incident response and assurance services.
Together, these transactions completed an important
strategic reset. The Company enters FY27 with a clear cyber
security and digital resilience capability, substantial financial
flexibility and a stronger platform for growth.
“Our focus is profitable growth‚
recurring revenue‚ operational
leverage‚ and sovereign cyber
leadership.”

Shareholders

Financial Highlights
Revenue from continuing operations increased by 9.8% to
$64.1 million in FY26, compared with $58.3 million in FY25.
Growth was achieved across the portfolio during a year of
significant organisational and transactional change.
Underlying EBITDA from continuing operations was $2.7
million, reflecting investment in people and capability ahead
of anticipated growth, together with the cost of operating the
Company as a standalone cyber security and digital resilience
business. In FY27, the Company expects to deliver more than
$6 million in underlying EBITDA.
The statutory loss attributable to shareholders was $23.1
million, however this included a $19.85 million after-tax
net loss on divestment of the Cloud and Communications
segment. The loss after tax from continuing operations was
$7.83 million.
Operating activities generated $4.1 million of cash. Cash and
cash equivalents increased to $18.3 million at 30 June 2026,
and the Group had no bank borrowings following repayment
of the senior bank debt from the Cloud and Communications
divestment proceeds.
Strategic Vision
Our ambition is to be Australia's leading sovereign cyber
security company, protecting enterprise, government and
regulated clients across the full security lifecycle.
Our strategy is focused on growing our specialist cyber
security and digital resilience business, increasing recurring
revenue and expanding in areas where customer demand is
developing rapidly.
We will continue to strengthen our managed security, 24x7
Security Operations Centre, digital forensics and incident
response capabilities. We also intend to deepen customer
relationships by combining advisory expertise, security
services and resilient technology solutions within clearer
market-facing offerings. At the same time, we are investing in
areas where customer demand is developing rapidly. These
include Secure AI and AI governance, identity security, data
security and privacy, and cloud security.
Acquisitions will remain a potential accelerator where they
add capability, reach or scale. Our priority is disciplined
execution, with acquisitions supporting rather than replacing
organic growth.
Talent and Leadership
During FY26, we invested in the people and specialist
capability required to support the next stage of the
Company’s development.
In May 2026, Paul Timmins was appointed Managing Director
and Chief Executive Officer. David Clanchy also joined as
Chief Financial Officer in April 2026. Together with the
broader leadership team, Paul and David bring experience
in scaling technology services businesses, operational
improvement and disciplined financial management.
The addition of the Catalyst Cyber team further strengthened
our capability in government and high-assurance
environments. Across Infotrust, our people remain central to
the quality of our customer relationships and the successful
delivery of our cyber-first strategy.
I thank our employees for their professionalism and
commitment through a year of substantial change. I also
acknowledge the contribution of our customers and
technology partners, whose continued support remains
important to the Company’s progress.
Looking Ahead
Infotrust enters FY27 in a substantially different position,
with a focused delivery model. The strategic reset is largely
complete. We have a focused portfolio and stronger balance
sheet.
Our focus is to deliver profitable growth, increase recurring
revenue, improve operational leverage, extend our sovereign
cyber position and allocate capital with discipline. We will
also continue integrating Catalyst Cyber and scaling the
capabilities in which we have invested.
The Company has issued FY27 underlying EBITDA guidance of
more than $6.0 million. This guidance remains subject to the
assumptions, risks and qualifications contained in the FY26
results presentation, including customer demand, pipeline
conversion, delivery capacity, integration outcomes and
general market conditions.
Strategy and acquisitions don’t create shareholder value,
execution does.
Thank you for your continued support as we build Infotrust’s
future as Australia’s most trusted sovereign cyber security
company and digital resilience partner.

Go-to-Market Update
A Unified Cyber Security Business
FY26 represented an important stage in Infotrust’s
transformation into a focused sovereign cyber security
business. The divestment of Nexgen, acquisition of Catalyst
Cyber and alignment of the Group’s capabilities under one
brand established the foundation for an integrated operating
model and a clearer market position.
Infotrust has aligned its capabilities under a single customer-
facing brand and go-to-market model. This approach
brings together cyber security advisory, managed security
operations, digital resilience, incident response and recovery
capabilities to address customers’ security, operational and
regulatory requirements across the technology lifecycle.
Market Context
Cyber security has become a core governance and operational
priority for organisations. Increasing cyber threats, regulatory
expectations, technology complexity and reliance on
interconnected supply chains require organisations to adopt a
coordinated approach to security and resilience.
Customers increasingly require trusted partners that can
combine specialist cyber security expertise with the capacity
to design, implement and operate secure technology
environments. Infotrust’s go-to-market strategy responds
to this requirement through an integrated service model
focused on security, operational continuity and resilience
that customers need to support their ongoing growth and
transformation.
Integrated Service Model
Infotrust’s go-to-market approach is organised across three
complementary solution pillars, delivered by one team under
one brand:
1. Secure Operations and Resilience
Secure operations and resilience provides the always-on
security services that customers’ own teams cannot staff
around the clock. It is anchored by Infotrust’s Australian-
owned and operated 24x7 Security Operations Centre
(SOC), together with security information and event
management (SIEM) and managed security services that
monitor, detect and contain threats before they interrupt
the business. These services are typically delivered under
multi-year agreements and form the Group’s recurring
revenue base.
Digital Resilience is the evolution of Secure Managed
Technology. It is where cyber security meets business
continuity: protecting the organisation while ensuring it
can keep operating, adapting and growing.
2. Defence and Optimisation
Defence and optimisation brings together capabilities
that help customers scope, manage and reduce ever
evolving cyber risk to ensure their organisations are
optimised for ongoing growth and transformation.
Services Infotrust provides in this pillar include
governance, risk and compliance, cyber security advisory,
identity security, data and privacy, endpoint security,
secure AI, security engineering and penetration testing.
Governance, risk and compliance services align
customers to recognised frameworks, including the
Australian Signals Directorate’s Essential Eight, CIS
Critical Security Controls, ISO/IEC 27001 and the NIST
Cybersecurity Framework, matched to their size, maturity
and obligations. Advisory is frequently a customer’s first
engagement with Infotrust and provides a pathway into
ongoing managed services. The pillar also includes the
Group’s high-growth practices in secure AI, identity, and
data and privacy, where customer demand is developing
rapidly.
3. Incident Response and Recovery
Incident response and recovery, delivered through
Forensic IT, supports organisations in preparing for,
responding to and recovering from cyber incidents. The
service offering includes threat simulations and recovery
planning, through to digital forensics, incident response,
insider threat investigations, and associated specialist
support. Insights from response engagements strengthen
Infotrust’s SOC and advisory practices.
Collectively, these pillars provide an integrated customer
journey across assessment, protection, detection,
response and continuous improvement. Customers
can enter through any pillar, and the unified structure
supports deeper relationships by enabling Infotrust to
address multiple, interconnected and evolving customer
requirements through a coordinated service model.
Strengthened Market Capability
The acquisition of Catalyst Cyber expanded Infotrust’s cyber
security capabilities and market reach, including within
government and other high-assurance environments. It
strengthens the Group’s capacity across specialist advisory,
governance and technical security services.
The integration of these capabilities supports Infotrust’s
objective of operating as one business, with a coordinated,
consistent approach to customer engagement and service
delivery. It also provides a broader platform from which
to develop recurring service relationships and address
customers’ cyber security and digital resilience requirements.
FY27 Priorities
Infotrust enters FY27 with a unified operating model and
a clearer market proposition centred on sovereign cyber
security and digital resilience.
The Group’s priorities are to:
deliver profitable growth;
expand recurring revenue;
strengthen customer relationships through integrated
service offerings;
improve operational leverage;
maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation; and
continue to develop Infotrust’s position in sovereign
cyber security.
These priorities are intended to support the Group’s long-term
objective of delivering sustainable value for customers and
shareholders.

Esri Australia through strategic cyber security
advisory and assurance services. The relationship
includes a CISO retainer, which was expanded
during FY26 to provide additional advisory
capacity, together with support across
information security management system (ISMS)
advisory, internal audit activities and reporting.
Through this ongoing engagement, Infotrust
helps Esri Australia align its security priorities,
strengthen governance and continue maturing
its information security program, which includes
compliance with ISO27001:2022 across multiple
regions in Asia Pacific.
“Infotrust gives us access to cyber
security leadership and specialist
technical capability through one
coordinated relationship. That
combination has helped us strengthen
our security foundations while preparing
for emerging governance requirements‚
including responsible AI.”
Tyler Beard
Head of IT
Chris McKee
Head of Legal & Commercial
“The greatest value in our relationship
with Infotrust has been the continuity and
consistency of its advisory service. Having
a lead consultant who understands our
processes, operating environment and
practical challenges means the advice is
grounded in our business and builds on the
work already completed. That continuity
has created a genuine partnership and
helps us turn security priorities into
practical and sustainable improvements.”

Operating and financial review
Consolidated Entity’s operations
Infotrust is an Australian sovereign cyber security and secure managed technology provider,
helping organisations stay secure, compliant and connected through integrated services and
resilient technology solutions.
The Group provides cyber security and technology services and solutions that enable
organisations to strengthen their security posture, improve resilience and compliance, and
operate secure, agile and scalable technology environments.
Following the divestment of the Cloud and Communications segment during FY26, the
Company’s operations are exclusively focused on cyber security, digital resilience and associated
technology services under the “Infotrust” brand. Rights to the “Spirit” brand have been retained
but is no longer used as the Company’s primary customer-facing brand.
The Australian cyber security market continues to benefit from structural demand for cyber
security and digital resilience, secure cloud adoption, data protection, identity security, AI
governance and regulatory assurance. The market is also becoming more competitive and more
consolidated, with customers seeking fewer, deeper technology partners that can provide
trusted expertise, local accountability and outcome-based services.
Infotrust’s strategy is to grow as a focused, trusted cyber-first technology services provider by
deepening customer relationships, expanding cross-sell opportunities across the Company’s
existing customer base, packaging services into clearer market-facing offers and investing in
high-growth cyber capabilities, including identity, data security, AI security and cloud security.
Acquisitions are expected to remain a disciplined accelerator where they strengthen capability,
geographic reach or scale, rather than a substitute for organic execution.
Review of operations and financial position
During FY26, the Company continued its strategic transformation into a focused, cyber security
and digital resilience services provider.
On 31 March 2026, the Company completed the divestment of its Cloud and Communications
segment, comprising 100% of NexGen Investment Group Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries, to Aussie
Broadband Limited (ASX: ABB). The divestment represented a significant milestone in Infotrust’s
strategic transformation and materially strengthened the Company’s balance sheet to support
its cyber security first growth strategy and acquisition pipeline.
On 17 April 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Catalyst Cyber, a Canberra-based
cyber security consultancy with a particular focus on Federal Government customers. Catalyst
Cyber brings established Commonwealth relationships, security-cleared personnel and specialist
capabilities across cyber security advisory, security engineering, incident response and assurance
services.
The Catalyst Cyber acquisition is complementary to Infotrust’s existing cyber security operations.
It expands the Company’s presence in regulated and high-assurance environments, strengthens
its sovereign cyber security capability and enhances its ability to service Federal Government and
defence-aligned customers.
The acquisition also provides opportunities for future revenue growth and margin improvement
through expanded service capability, broader customer relationships, cross-sell opportunities
and a stronger platform for responding to cyber incidents. These benefits remain subject to
successful integration, customer demand and disciplined execution.
