Chairman's Statement

The financial year ended 30 June 2026 was a year of significant progress for CAP-XX. Most importantly, it demonstrated that the actions taken over the past two years to strengthen the business are translating into substantially improved financial performance and growing commercial momentum.

Sale of goods revenue increased approximately 11% to A$5.21 million from A$4.70 million, and total operating revenue in FY26 was A$5.29 million. EBITDA loss improved by approximately 33% to A$2.03 million and the loss after tax improved by approximately 28% to A$2.82 million.

This improvement in performance is particularly important because it was achieved while maintaining investment in research and product development. It demonstrates the operational leverage within the business as we increase revenue, improve margins and maintain disciplined control of our cost base.

Demand for CAP-XX products also strengthened during the year. Orders received increased 35% to A$6.71 million and CAP-XX finished FY26 with an order backlog of A$3.42 million, 26% higher than the corresponding prior-year position.

Our strategy is focused on converting this growing demand, together with customer design-ins and our substantially broader global routes to market, into repeatable revenues. Our relationship with SCHURTER AG continued to progress during the year, with commercial and engineering agreements in place, white-label products launched and an expanding project pipeline. We also continued to progress design-ins with major global customers, which have the potential to generate multi-year recurring revenues.

Following the year end, CAP-XX successfully raised approximately £2.3 million (A$4.4 million) gross through a placing, subscription and oversubscribed retail offer. I would particularly like to thank our existing shareholders for their continued support and welcome the new investors who have chosen to back CAP-XX. We also expect to receive a A$1.93 million R&D tax incentive (FY25: A$1.75 million) before the end of this calendar year.

These funds will support the next stage of the Company’s development. The majority of the proceeds will support increased manufacturing capability, including upgrades to the DMF/DMT production line, expansion of DMH capacity and investment in coating capability, alongside working capital, customer acquisition and distributor growth.

Our objective remains clear: to build CAP-XX into a sustainably profitable and cash-generative global business. FY26 represents substantial progress towards that objective. Having materially reduced losses and strengthened demand, our focus in FY27 is to increase revenues, improve margins and continue our progress towards break-even.

CAP-XX enters FY27 with a larger order book, broader global routes to market, improving financial performance and the capital required to support growth. The task now is execution: converting these stronger foundations into sustainable profitable growth and positive cash flow.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Lars and the entire CAP-XX team for their commitment throughout the year, together with our customers, partners and shareholders for their continued support.

Chief Executive Officer's Review

During FY26, CAP-XX operated amid significant geopolitical and supply-chain disruption. Conflict affecting the Red Sea, Suez Canal and global energy routes, the continuing war in Ukraine, and intensifying US-China trade restrictions increased energy, freight, and insurance costs, constrained transport capacity and extended lead times. Against this backdrop, CAP-XX maintained disciplined operations, diversified its routes to market and invested selectively to strengthen the foundations for sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.

Orders received increased 35% to A$6.71 million, while the year-end order backlog rose by 26% to A$3.42 million, providing greater revenue visibility entering FY27. Our objective is to convert design-ins, distribution relationships and technology partnerships into recurring revenue, manage costs and sustainable cash generation.

Commercial development

During FY26, CAP-XX expanded its international customer base and distribution network through partners including RS Group plc, DigiKey, Premier Farnell Limited and TME. The network now serves customers in more than 30 countries, supporting projects from initial design and prototyping through to full-scale production.

Our relationship with SCHURTER AG advanced through commercial and engineering agreements, white-label product launches and a coordinated go-to-market strategy. We also progressed design wins with major global customers, where successful qualification can generate recurring production revenue over multiple years.

European revenue increased by approximately 51% to A$3.05 million, making Europe CAP-XX's largest market and contributing approximately 58% of Group operating revenue.

Operational execution

Efficient, reliable and scalable manufacturing is essential to converting commercial momentum into stronger margins and sustainable cash generation. During FY26, we further implemented and optimised our Warehouse Management System across Seven Hills and our Malaysian contract manufacturing partner, improving visibility and control across procurement, production, inventory and fulfilment.

Following year-end, the approximately A$4.4 million gross capital raising provided funding to expand DMH capacity, upgrade the DMF/DMT production line, enhance coating capability and support working capital. We will deploy this capital with discipline, focusing on margin improvement and operational returns.

Products and technology

Innovation remains central to CAP-XX’s long-term competitive position. During FY26, we advanced the ultra-thin DMH platform, the SMT supercapacitor range and higher-capacity Module products for applications including industrial equipment, data centres and grid stabilisation.

R&D investment remains focused on product performance, manufacturability, new applications and the protection of proprietary know-how. Priority will be given to opportunities with a credible path to commercial scale and sustainable returns.

Outlook

CAP-XX enters FY27 with a larger order backlog, broader access to global customers, major customer design-ins progressing towards production and additional capital to expand manufacturing capability. Our priority is to convert these strengths into sustained revenue growth, manage cost, cash generation and long-term shareholder value.

We will execute the order book, convert design-ins and partnerships into recurring revenue, expand capacity in line with demonstrated demand, improve margins, and maintain rigorous control of costs, capital expenditure and working capital.

Our focus for FY27 and beyond is clear: to build a sustainably profitable, cash-generative global energy-storage business.

On behalf of the Board, I thank our customers, partners and shareholders for their continued confidence and support, and the CAP-XX team for its commitment and contribution throughout FY26.

Business Review

Review of Operations and Activities

During FY26, CAP-XX Limited continued the transformation of its operations towards a more commercially focused, scalable and financially sustainable business.

The Group's principal activities remained the development, manufacture and sale of supercapacitors. CAP-XX's strategy is focused on increasing adoption of its high-performance supercapacitor technologies through direct sales, global distribution partnerships, customer design wins and strategic commercial relationships.

Financial performance

Sale of goods revenue increased to $5.21 million in FY26 compared to $4.70 million in FY25, an increase of approximately 11% and total operating revenue for FY26 increased to $5.29 million, compared with $4.94 million in FY25, an increase of approximately 7%.

The Group recorded a loss after tax of $2.82 million, compared with a loss of $3.93 million in FY25, an improvement of approximately 28%.

A reconciliation of the loss attributable to the owners of CAP-XX Limited as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss through to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is set out below.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA improved materially during the year:

The improvement in EBITDA reflects higher revenue, together with tighter control of the Group's operating cost base. General and administrative expenses reduced materially compared with FY25, while employee benefits expense reduced to $2.96 million from $3.13 million.

Other income included an R&D Tax Incentive Grant of $1.93 million (2025: $1.75 million).

Cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2026 were $0.87 million, compared with $3.96 million at 30 June 2025. The Group has also recognised an R&D tax credit receivable of $1.93 million expected to be received before the end of the calendar year (2025: $1.75 million).

Commercial performance

Commercial activity strengthened during FY26.

The Group closed FY26 with bookings of $6.71 million (an increase of 35% over the corresponding prior year) and a backlog order book of $3.42 million (an increase of 26% compared with the corresponding prior year). This performance reflects increasing customer engagement, the development of CAP-XX's global distribution network and progress in converting design-in opportunities into commercial orders.

The Group's revenue mix also became increasingly international. EMEA revenue increased approximately 51% from $2.02 million to $3.05 million and represented approximately 58% of the total Group revenue. APAC generated $1.80 million and the Americas $0.43 million.

Customer concentration reduced during the year with one customer contributing more than 10% of Group revenue in FY26, compared with three customers each contributing 10% of FY25 Group revenue.

Distribution and strategic partnerships

CAP-XX continued to expand its routes to market through a combination of direct customer engagement and global distribution relationships.

The distribution agreement with RS Group plc expanded the availability of CAP-XX's prismatic, cylindrical and hybrid supercapacitors through RS Group plc's international distribution and logistics infrastructure. Together with Farnell (Avnet), Digi-Key and Waldom UK Limited, these relationships provide CAP-XX with access to customers from early-stage engineering and prototyping through to commercial production.

The Group's white-label relationship with SCHURTER AG also progressed during FY26. Commercial and engineering contracts have been entered into, products launched and a go-to-market strategy established, with an initial project pipeline under development.

Manufacturing and operational performance

During FY26, CAP-XX continued to improve the efficiency, visibility and scalability of its manufacturing operations.

A significant milestone was the implementation of the Datapel Warehouse Management System at the Seven Hills facility. The system provides greater control over procurement, manufacturing tracking, sales-order fulfilment and inventory, while integration with Pipeliner CRM, MYOB and Power BI has improved management reporting and operational visibility.

Inventory levels have remained stable, as at 30 June 2026 inventory holdings were $1.02 million compared to $0.99 million as at the prior year end.

The Group continued to manufacture electrode material and selected supercapacitor products at Seven Hills while utilising outsourced production for larger-volume product lines.

Research, development and product strategy

CAP-XX continued to invest in research and product development during FY26, with research expenditure of approximately $4.44 million, compared with $3.76 million in FY25.

Development activities included CAP-XX's ultra-thin DMH platform, the continued development and commercial assessment of SMT supercapacitors and development of higher-capacity Module products.

The SMT programme is intended to broaden the applications in which CAP-XX products can be incorporated by enabling compatibility with conventional automated electronics assembly processes. The Group continues to evaluate the commercial applications, customer demand and revenue opportunities associated with the technology.

The Module product range represents an extension of CAP-XX's technology into customised higher-energy and higher-power systems, with potential applications including industrial equipment, data centres and grid stabilisation.

During FY26 the Group also continued to develop technical content supporting customers and engineers, including publication of an application white paper explaining methods for measuring supercapacitor capacitance, Equivalent Series Resistance and leakage current.

People, quality and sustainability

CAP-XX continued to invest in its organisational capabilities during FY26. The Group was recognised as one of Australia's Best Places to Work 2026, reflecting the importance placed on employee engagement and organisational culture.

The Group continues to maintain quality and environmental management systems supporting its manufacturing activities. No breaches of applicable environmental regulatory requirements were reported during FY26.

Subsequent events and outlook

On 30 July 2026, CAP-XX announced a placing and subscription to raise gross proceeds of GBP£2.2 million, together with a retail offer of up to GBP£0.1 million, at an issue price of 0.15 pence per share. On 3 August 2026 the capital raise concluded, raising total gross proceeds (before expenses) of $4.4 million (GBP£2.3 million).

The proceeds are intended principally to fund manufacturing expansion, including upgrading the existing DMF/DMT line, increasing DMH production capacity and developing a clean coating room applicable across the Group's product lines. The Group also intends to support customer acquisition, distributor growth and general working capital.

CAP-XX enters FY27 with an increased order backlog, broader global distribution network, improving operating performance and a growing portfolio of customer design-in opportunities.

The Board's priorities for FY27 are to convert the existing backlog and commercial pipeline into revenue, increase manufacturing capacity, improve margins, maintain disciplined control of operating expenditure and working capital, and progress the Group towards sustainable positive operating cash flow.
