Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2026 3
Chair's Message
Dear Shareholders
FY26 was the year Atomos returned to profit. The Group recorded a net profit after tax of $0.9 million,
against a loss of $14.6 million in FY25, on revenue of $40.0 million, up 22.5% on the prior year. EBITDA of
$3.7 million compared with an EBITDA loss of $11.8 million, an improvement of $15.5 million. After a period
in which the Company's survival was a legitimate question, which is a significant milestone, and one your
Board does not take for granted.
The improvement came from three places. Revenue grew across the refreshed Ninja and Shinobi ranges.
Contribution margin rose to 37.2% of revenue from 16.8%, reflecting lower product and freight costs
following changes to our distribution arrangements, together with the impact of changes in United States
tariff settings during the year. Pricing had been established in response to the introduction of tariffs, which
were subsequently changed. Given the continuing uncertainty and frequent changes in tariff policy, it was not
practical to continually adjust market pricing in response to each change. This resulted in a temporary benefit
to contribution margin during the period. The restructuring completed in FY25 also delivered its full year
benefit, with fixed costs down 22.5% to $12.5 million and average monthly fixed costs now around $1.1
million. Excluding provision releases of $1.7 million, contribution margin was 33.0% of revenue, within the
33% to 35% range we have previously indicated to the market and a level we expect to sustain.
The Board is equally clear that the second half did not meet the expectations we set. First half revenue of
$23.7 million was followed by $16.3 million in the second, and in July we advised the market that full year
sales would be approximately $40 million against earlier guidance of $23.7 million for the second half alone.
Subdued end consumer demand, and consequent destocking by distributors and resellers against a
backdrop of conflict in the Middle East and rising United States inflation, were the principal causes. Timing
also played a part: approximately $2 million of product shipped before 30 June had not reached customers at
year end, and the Sumo PRO 19 shipped in the final days of May, too late to generate re-orders within the
year. Earnings nonetheless held up, with second half EBITDA of $1.8 million broadly matching the first half
on materially lower revenue, which speaks to the quality of the margin and cost work done during the year.
Operationally the Company did what it said it would. Seven new and upgraded products reached market
over the twelve months, spanning the Ninja TX, Ninja TX GO, Ninja RAW, Shinobi 7 RX, Shogun AV-19 and
Sumo PRO 19, the last of which won multiple Best of Show awards at the NAB Show. In April we completed
the acquisition of Flanders Scientific, a respected name in professional reference monitoring, extending our
reach from on-camera capture through to post-production. Flanders contributed $1.8 million of revenue in the
ten weeks we owned it and will contribute a full year in FY27.
The balance sheet strengthened materially. Net liabilities reduced from $11.1 million to $2.6 million. In
November, shareholders exercised listed options generating $7.8 million, which was applied directly to debt.
In April we settled a new $10 million three-year facility with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and and
repriced the Monreii Pty Ltd loan facility from a total cost of 20% to 13% per annum, saving approximately
$0.7 million of interest each year. Since year end, the Monreii Pty Ltd facility has been extended to 28
February 2028.
The financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis, and the directors have disclosed
the material uncertainty that attaches to that judgement. The Group remains dependent on achieving its
forecast trading results and on the continued availability of its financing facilities. The Board monitors this
closely and the relevant disclosures are set out in the notes.
On behalf of the Board, I thank Peter Barber and the Atomos team. A turnaround of this size is not achieved
by strategy documents; it is achieved by people doing difficult work over a sustained period, often with fewer
resources than they would like. I also thank shareholders who supported the Company through a period
when the outcome was far from certain, and particularly those who exercised options in November.

FY27 brings the full-year benefit of the products launched during FY26, a complete year of Flanders
Scientific, and further releases already announced at IBC in September. The task now is to convert a year of
repair into a year of consistent, profitable growth. That remains the Board's focus.

CEO's Address
Dear Shareholders
FY26 was a transformational year for Atomos. Revenue grew more than 20% to $40.0 million, and the
Company returned to EBITDA profitability, recording EBITDA of $3.7 million against a loss of $11.8 million in
FY25. We delivered four consecutive EBITDA positive quarters after fourteen negative ones. That change
did not come from a single decision; it came from rebuilding the product range, resetting the cost base and
fixing how we go to market, all at the same time.
The product story is the one I am most pleased with. Over the twelve months we refreshed our entire suite,
from on-camera through to post-production. Ninja TX arrived in July 2025 as the first of the next generation,
bringing 12G-SDI in and out, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and support for cloud workflows through
ATOMOSphere. At IBC we announced Shinobi 7 RX, extending camera control and integrated wireless
receiving to the 7-inch monitor line. Ninja TX GO followed in November as a lower cost HDMI-focused model
built to reach a wider audience, and Ninja RAW completed what we describe internally as the Good, Better,
Best Ninja lineup as our most affordable monitor-recorder.
In the second half we moved into rack-mounted production. Shogun AV-19 replaced the original Shogun
Studio II, which had not been manufactured for several years because of component obsolescence, and pre-
orders were strong. Sumo PRO 19 was unveiled at the NAB Show in April and went on to win multiple Best
of Show awards, an endorsement from the industry that matters to us. Seven new and upgraded products in
twelve months, from a team of our size, is a considerable effort and I want to acknowledge it.
Alongside the hardware we continued to build the ecosystem. ATOMOSphere, our cloud editing and
collaboration platform, expanded through the year, and firmware releases extended ProRes RAW recording
and camera control to more camera models.
In April this year, we acquired Flanders Scientific, experts in colour science and reference display technology
and one of the most respected names in professional reference monitoring. The strategic logic is
straightforward: it lets us serve a materially larger part of the content creation process, from the camera
through to the colour-critical grade. While it is still early, the cultural fit has exceeded my expectations and
Flanders' specialist expertise is already being drawn into the broader Atomos business. Flanders contributed
$1.8 million of revenue in the ten weeks we owned it and will contribute a full year in FY27.
I want to be direct about the second half. We guided to second half sales at or above the first half and
delivered $16.3 million against $23.7 million. Subdued end consumer demand, and the destocking by
distributors and resellers that followed it, were the main drivers, set against conflict in the Middle East and
rising United States inflation. Two things we controlled also cost us: Sumo PRO 19 shipped in the final days
of May, later than planned, which meant no re-orders landed inside the financial year, and sell-through of the
new Ninja range and our June promotional campaign fell short of what we expected. Approximately $2
million of product had shipped but not reached customers by 30 June. We have taken the lessons from all of
that into how we plan launches and promotions in FY27.
Encouragingly, earnings held up. Contribution margin improved to 37.2% of revenue for the year, and
second half EBITDA of $1.8 million was broadly level with the first half on materially lower revenue. Our fixed
cost base is now right sized at approximately $1.1 million a month, and as sales build we expect to see that
operating leverage come through. Our fourth quarter operating cash outflow reflected sales timing, one-off
lease exit payments, a one-off inventory investment in Flanders and legacy supplier payment plans. Heading
into FY27 we are confident in our cash position, supported by the progressive unwinding of our working
capital build, and expect operating cash flow to align more closely with EBITDA.
Atomos Limited Annual Report FY26
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2026 6
FY27 has started with momentum. At IBC in September, we introduced the Shinobi 7 II and the Shogun AV-
19M, alongside an expanded accessory ecosystem and new ATOMOSphere integrations. We carry the full-
year benefit of everything launched during FY26, a complete year of Flanders Scientific, and a product
roadmap we will continue to execute. Our focus is unchanged: expand the ecosystem, capture a greater
share of customer spend, and convert that into consistent profitable growth.
My thanks to the Atomos team, whose work this year was genuinely exceptional, to our distribution and retail
partners, and to you, our shareholders, for your continued support.

Directors' Report
The directors of Atomos Limited (‘Atomos’ or ‘the Company’) present their report together with the financial
statements of the consolidated entity, being Atomos and its Controlled Entities (‘the Group’) for the year ended
30 June 2026.
Directors
The names of the directors in office at any time during or since the end of the year are:
Mr James Joughin – Non-Executive Chair
Mr Jeromy Young – Non-Executive Director
Mr Peter Barber – Executive Director
The above-named directors held office during and since the end of the financial year unless otherwise stated.
Principal activities
During the year the principal activities of the Group consisted of the design, manufacture and sale of video
monitoring, recording and production equipment as well as the development and sale of software
applications to enhance its physical products.
There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the year.
Non-IFRS financial information
EBITDA and contribution margin are non-IFRS financial measures. They are used by the Board and
management to assess the underlying operating performance of the Group and are the measures by which
the Group has communicated its performance to the market, including in its half-year and quarterly reporting.
EBITDA is also the basis of a financial covenant under the Group's Commonwealth Bank of Australia facility.
Both measures are calculated consistently with the prior year. They are not measures prescribed by
Australian Accounting Standards, have not been separately audited, and should be read together with the
statutory results presented in the financial statements. Reconciliations to the closest statutory measures are
set out below.

Contribution margin represents revenue less the costs that vary directly with sales volume, being product
costs and variable costs. Variable costs comprise freight, customs and tariffs, warranty provision, royalties
and variable marketing expenditure. No expenses have been excluded on the basis that they are non-
recurring, and the Group does not present an underlying, normalised or adjusted profit measure.
Review of Operations
The Group returned to profit in FY26. Revenue grew 22.5% to $40.0 million, and the Group recorded a net
profit after tax of $0.9 million, against a loss of $14.6 million in FY25. EBITDA of $3.7 million compared with
an EBITDA loss of $11.8 million.

Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2026 9
Revenue
Growth came from the refreshed Ninja and Shinobi ranges, improved marketing execution and the direct-to-
consumer channel. Flanders Scientific Inc, acquired 24 April 2026, contributed $1.8 million; had it been
owned from 1 July 2025 consolidated revenue would have been $49.6 million. The year was weighted to the
first half, with $23.7 million to 31 December 2025 and $16.3 million thereafter. As advised on 6 July 2026,
the second half reflected subdued end consumer demand and consequent destocking, approximately $2.0
million of product shipped but not received by customers at year end, the late May shipment of Sumo PRO
19 which left no opportunity for re-orders and sell-through of the new Ninja range and the June campaign
below expectations.
Margin and costs
Contribution margin of $14.9 million was 37.2% of revenue, against 16.8% in FY25, reflecting lower product
and freight costs following changes to distribution arrangements, reduced discounting, and the impact of
changes in United States tariff settings during the year. Pricing had been established in response to the
introduction of tariffs, which were subsequently changed. Given the continuing uncertainty and frequent
changes in tariff policy, it was not practical to continually adjust market pricing in response to each change.
Excluding $1.7 million of provision releases, margin was 33.0% of revenue, within the 33% to 35% range
previously indicated and the level the directors expect to sustain.
Fixed costs fell 22.5% to $12.5 million, delivering the full-year benefit of the FY25 restructuring. Employee
benefits reduced $1.8 million to $7.1 million, advertising and marketing $1.4 million to $1.1 million, and legal
and professional services $1.0 million to $1.4 million. Administration and other expense increased $1.6
million to $1.9 million, principally reflecting an abnormally low expense in FY25 due to a $1.8 million credit
relating to reversal of onerous contract provisions. Research and development of $0.9 million is stated after
capitalising $1.4 million of qualifying expenditure from 1 January 2026.
Significant items
2026 2025
$'000 $'000
Inventory obsolescence provisions and realisations 1,449 (3,184)
Release of onerous contract and open purchase order provisions 450 1,714
Net benefit / (charge) within EBITDA 1,899 (1,470)
The Group does not present an underlying, normalised or adjusted profit measure. EBITDA is presented as
an additional subtotal permitted by AASB 101 and is reconciled to statutory profit in the directors’ report. The
year-on-year movement of $3.4 million accounts for approximately one fifth of the $15.5 million EBITDA
improvement; the balance is attributable to revenue growth, the margin improvement and the reduction in
fixed costs.
Financial position and funding
Net liabilities reduced to $2.6 million from $11.1 million, and cash was $2.3 million as at 30 June 2026.
Borrowings increased to $20.9 million from $14.4 million. In November and December 2025, the Company
received $7.8 million from the exercise of listed options, applied to the Monreii Pty Ltd facility. In April 2026 it
settled a $10.0 million three-year facility with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and repriced the Monreii
Pty Ltd facility, saving approximately $0.7 million of interest annually. Net cash used in operating activities
was $5.0 million, against $13.3 million in FY25. Finance costs of $2.6 million were $1.2 million higher on the
increased average level of borrowings.
Atomos Limited Annual Report FY26
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2026 10
Operations and outlook
• Seven new and upgraded products reached market: Ninja TX, Ninja TX GO, Ninja RAW, Shinobi 7 RX,
Shogun AV-19, Sumo PRO 19 and the broader ecosystem range. Sumo PRO 19 won multiple Best of
Show awards at the NAB Show.
• Flanders Scientific Inc was acquired on 24 April 2026, extending the range into professional reference
monitoring. The Group also exited its Cremorne premises during the year.
• FY27 carries the full-year effect of the FY26 launches and a full twelve months of Flanders Scientific.
Further products were announced at IBC in September 2026, including the Shinobi 7 II and Shogun AV-
19M.
The going concern basis of preparation, and the material uncertainty attaching to it, are set out in note 3.
Significant items affecting the reported result
The reported result for the year includes a number of items which, by their size or nature, are relevant to an
understanding of the Group’s performance. They are set out so that users can identify the items concerned
together with the corresponding amounts recognised in the previous corresponding period.
2026 2025
$'000 $'000
Net benefit/(charge) — inventory obsolescence provisions and
realisations
1,449 (3,184)
Release of onerous contract and open purchase order provisions 450 1,714
Net benefit/(charge) recognised within EBITDA 1,899 (1,470)
The net benefit of $1.4m in respect of inventory comprises the release of $1.2m of obsolescence provisions
no longer required, a margin of $0.5m realised on the sale of inventory which had previously been written
down, and a charge of $0.2m in respect of inventory written off against which no provision had been carried.
These amounts represent the recovery of write downs recognised in FY25, when a net charge of $3.2m was
made against the result, and in earlier periods; $0.8m of that recovery was realised in cash on the sale of the
inventory concerned. Refer to the Movements in provision for obsolescence note.
A provision of $0.5m carried in respect of open purchase orders was released following confirmation from
the suppliers concerned that those orders had been closed and that no liability remains. The previous
corresponding period included a release of $1.7m from the same onerous contract and open purchase order
provisions.
The release of $1.2m of obsolescence provisions and $0.5m of onerous contract and open purchase order
provisions together contributed 4.2 percentage points of the contribution margin of 37.2% of revenue for the
year. Excluding those releases the contribution margin was 33.0% of revenue, within the range of 33% to
35% the Company has previously indicated.
Taken together, these items represent a net benefit of $1.9m in FY26 against a net charge of $1.5m in FY25.
The year-on-year movement of $3.4m accounts for approximately one fifth of the $15.5m improvement in
EBITDA. The balance is attributable to the 22.5% increase in revenue, the improvement in the contribution
margin percentage described above following the changes to the Group’s distribution and product cost
arrangements, and the $3.6m reduction in fixed costs delivered by the restructuring completed in FY25.
Atomos Limited Annual Report FY26
Atomos Limited | Annual Report 2026 11
The table above covers only those categories in which an amount arose in the current year. FY25
additionally bore employee restructuring costs of $2.7m, debt facility fees, non-recurring tradeshow costs
and legal fees on historic contractual matters, disclosed as items not in the ordinary course of business in
the FY25 Appendix 4E. FY26 additionally bore acquisition-related costs of $0.1m, referred to in the Business
combination note, together with a number of smaller items arising in both directions, none exceeding $0.2m
individually, which have not been separately identified.
On 24 April 2026 the Group acquired Flanders Scientific Inc, which contributed revenue of $1.8m and a loss
after tax of $13,000 for the period from acquisition to 30 June 2026. On 14 July 2025 the Group incorporated
Atomos SG Pte Ltd, whose sole activity is to provide employment services, and which did not contribute
revenue in the period.
Half-year performance. The Group released its results for the half-year ended 31 December 2025 on 27
February 2026, reporting revenue of $23.7m, contribution margin of $8.2m or 34.7% of revenue, EBITDA of
$1.9m and a profit after tax of $0.2m. Revenue and EBITDA were both within the guidance ranges previously
advised to the market. At that time the Company reaffirmed its expectation that second half sales would
meet or exceed the first half and that second half EBITDA would exceed the first half.

Second half FY26 revenue of $16.3m was $7.4m or 31.3% below the first half, for the reasons set out in the
Company’s announcement of 6 July 2026. Contribution margin fell $1.6m over the same period, a smaller fall
than the reduction in revenue, as the contribution margin percentage improved from 34.7% to 40.8%. Total
fixed costs of $5.9m in the second half were $0.8m below the first half, reflecting the capitalisation of
qualifying product development expenditure from 1 January 2026 and the reclassification of variable
marketing costs, partly offset by the inclusion of Flanders Scientific from 24 April 2026. EBITDA of $1.8m
was $0.1m below the first half.
The movement in the contribution margin percentage between the halves is a matter of timing rather than of
trading. Duties imposed by the United States Administration were borne for the whole of the first half but for
only one month of the second, and the credit arising when those duties were deemed unlawful was
recognised in that same month. Attributing $0.8m of that credit to the first half revenues to which it relates
would give contribution margins of 38.1% in the first half and 35.9% in the second, a difference of 2.2
percentage points rather than the 6.1 percentage points reported. No adjustment has been made to the
figures in the table above, which are the reported results for each half.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
Significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year were: the acquisition of
Flanders Scientific Inc on 24 April 2026; the incorporation Flanders Scientific Pty Ltd on 16 March 2026; the
receipt of $7.8 million on the exercise of listed options, which was applied to the repayment of borrowings;
the settlement of a $10.0 million three-year facility with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and the
concurrent repricing of the Monreii Pty Ltd facility; an increase in borrowings of $6.5 million to $20.9 million;
the recommencement of capitalisation of qualifying product development expenditure from 1 January 2026;
and the surrender of the Group’s Cremorne premises which had been sub-leased since 2022, but become
vacant in April 2026 (the cost of which was $0.5m, but saving $1.8m over the remaining lease period).
Events arising since the end of the reporting period
There are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the year that have significantly
affected or may significantly affect either:
the entity’s operations in future financial years
the results of those operations in future financial years; or
the entity’s state of affairs in future financial years
Future developments
Atomos will continue to develop the types of products it is known for today to grow the existing business.
FY27 carries the full-year revenue effect of the seven products brought to market during FY26 and a full
twelve months of Flanders Scientific Inc. Further products were announced at IBC in September 2026,
including the Shinobi 7 II and the Shogun AV-19M, with a continuing roadmap of product development
across the monitor-recorder, reference monitoring and ecosystem ranges.
Further information about likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of
those operations in future financial years has not been included in this report because there is significant
uncertainty surrounding the USA market and tariff changes and disclosure of the information would be likely
to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.
Environmental legislation
The Company’s operations are not subject to any particular or significant environmental regulation under a
law of the Commonwealth or of any State or Territory in Australia.
Dividends
No dividends have been paid or declared during or since the end of the financial year.
