expected to be A$83.0 – A$91.6m1

2026). Adjusted Operating EBITDA (after one oQ non-recurring items) is expected to be A$8 –
10m1
.
• Working capital infusion to TSI India completed in May 2026: This has enabled the stabilisation
of the business, we are now back on track delivering WLA portfolio location optimisation,
recommencement of BLA deployment and BC Max/Unnati merchant onboarding.
• Post-period operating momentum: April 2026 improvements across the India operating
subsidiary, with run-rate uplift continuing into May 2026 across BankIT, WLA and BLA (see
“Operational momentum into FY27”).
• Board and management strengthening: appointment of Shaun Lordan as Chief Commercial
OQicer (CCO) to drive commercialisation of the integrated Findi platform, including Sphere’s

FY26 guidance update
Total Operating Revenue
FY26 Operating Revenue is expected to be A$83.0 – A$91.6m1
, below the A$100 – 105m guidance issued in
the Company’s announcement of 21 October 2025 and representing growth of approximately 35% over
FY25A Operating Revenue of A$61.6m.
The revenue outcome reflects the integration of the TCPSL and BankIT acquisitions, continued scale-up of
the WLA and BLA portfolios, and the contribution of the Sphere acquisition completed during the period. The
March 2026 exit run rate is also below expectation due to funding delays. The run rate after the arrival of
capital will be confirmed in the next quarterly update.
Operating EBITDA, below prior band, precise figure to be locked in by audit
FY26 Operating EBITDA is expected to be below the previously guided A$10 – 12m range. The variance
principally reflects:
• Additional non-recurring direct cost provisions identified in the second half;
• One-off termination, restructuring and legal costs incurred during the integration of TCPSL, BankIT and
Sphere;
• Continued delays in Brown Label ATM roll-out funding during the period; and
• The financial impact of working capital constraints in TSI India prior to the May 2026 working capital
infusion.
Operating EBITDA will be confirmed on completion of the FY26 audit and the preliminary result released
with the Company’s Appendix 4E (scheduled for lodgement on or before 29 May 2026).
Adjusted Operating EBITDA (after one off non-recurring items) is expected to be A$8 – 10m1
.
Working capital position strengthened
In May 2026, Findi completed a A$25 million equity raise (less fees) for the primary purpose of working
capital infusion into its India operating subsidiary, Transaction Solutions International (India) Pvt. Ltd. (TSI
India).
The infusion is being deployed to recommence the BLA roll-out, optimise the WLA fleet under the new
operating cadence and fund BC Max merchant onboarding in partnership with the Central Bank of India.
Operational momentum into FY27
Recent operating data from the India business shows material, sequential improvement across the diversified
payments portfolio. Specifically, since the close of FY26:
• TSI India has seen a material uplift across all business units in April 2026;
• May 2026 run-rate continues to track ahead of the April 2026 base;
• BankIT: month-on-month uplift of approximately 45%+ in GTV and Revenue from March 2026 to April
2026, with 1,100 new BankIT locations activated in April 2026;
• WLA: daily transaction volume up approximately 10% month-on-month in April 2026 versus March
2026;
• BC Max/Unnati centres: continued onboarding momentum with 68 onboarded in April and May
• Realised synergies across the three business units with annualised costs cut by A$4.9m2

Board and management — Chief Commercial Officer appointment
Findi is pleased to confirm the appointment of Shaun Lordan as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of Findi
Limited, effective 1st
June 2026. Mr Lordan most recently served as CEO of Sphere (For Good) Holdings Pty
Ltd, the bank-grade loyalty, rewards and ESG technology business acquired by Findi during the period.
As CCO, Mr Lordan will lead the commercialisation of the integrated Findi platform, including the deployment
of Sphere’s rewards platform across BankIT merchants and the WLA business. Mr Lordan’s appointment is
consistent with the strategic rationale set out in the 21 October 2025 announcement regarding the Sphere
acquisition.
Chairman’s commentary
Findi Executive Chairman Mr Nicholas Smedley said:
“The headline numbers for FY26 reflect a year in which the Company has undertaken a significant
amount of structural work, integrating two major acquisitions, completing the Sphere acquisition,
repositioning the WLA portfolio, and rebuilding the working capital base in India. That work has
come at a cost to FY26 EBITDA.
“The more important point for shareholders is the operating trajectory we are now reporting on.
April material improvements across all areas of the business in India, May is running ahead,
BankIT is showing sustained month-on-month uplift, and the working capital infusion completed
earlier this month has removed a constraint that had been holding the business back. With Shaun
Lordan moving into the Chief Commercial Officer role, the focus now shifts to executing the cross-
sell across the platform and delivering the FY27 plan that supports our Indian IPO pathway.”
Outlook
The market opportunity is enormous with the Indian economy forecast to grow at 4 times the rate of Australia
and become the third largest economy by 2030. Findi’s strategic trajectory toward the FY27 Indian IPO and
Payments Bank status is unchanged. The Company will provide further detail with the release of the FY26
audited results and FY27 objectives in due course.
Additional information
The Company will release its Appendix 4E for the year ended 31 March 2026 on or before 29 May 2026,
which will include the preliminary Operating EBITDA outcome and supporting commentary. Shareholders are
referred to the Company’s announcement of 21 October 2025 for the originally issued FY26 guidance
Authorised for release by the Board of Findi Limited.
