PERTH, AUSTRALIA: Orbital Corporation Ltd (‘Orbital UAV’, ‘the Company’) presents the Company’s
audited half-year financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2024.
About Orbital UAV
Orbital UAV is a world leader in the design and manufacture of integrated engine systems for military
drones and is uniquely placed to meet the performance requirements of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
through its revolutionary technology and proven operational experience.
Our world leading propulsion solutions exceed the competition benchmark for reliability, power and system
durability and have the scalability to meet future customer power requirements.
Our patented fuel injection system enables advanced spark ignition using heavy fuel – a requirement for
military applications due to fuel, logistics, defence policy and operational safety.
Orbital UAV is also a class leader in the supply of real time propulsion system diagnostics.
With over 30 years of proven experience dedicated to engine design, we have built a superior supply chain
network with the ability to source the highest precision components for our propulsion systems.
Orbital UAV customers are typically Government agencies or Tier 1 suppliers to the global defence
industry. Current geographic segments include the United States of America, South-East Asia and Indian
markets.
Orbital UAV is now producing integrated engine packages for 4 major clients utilising core 75cc and
150cc engines and continues in-house development of an expanded product range to meet the needs of
future UAV programs.
Financial Review
Group revenue comprises sales income from both established and new engine production models, and
engineering services income from development programs across Orbital UAV’s growing customer
portfolio.
The Group’s consolidated revenue for the period was $4.8 million, down 43% from the corresponding
period in 2023. The reduction in revenue compared to the prior period is largely attributable to delays in
DSO National Laboratories (‘DSO’) production orders (a timing issue which will be recovered in the 2nd
half of the financial year) and the end of production of the Boeing Insitu V3 program in late 2023.
EBITDA of $1,083,000 represents a 263% increase on the December 2023 EBITA of $298,000.
Net profit after tax of $314,000 is a substantial improvement on the December 2023 loss of $425,000.
At 31 December 2024, cash, term deposits and receivables were $6.9 million and the Company had no
debt following the retirement of the WA Government loan facility balance of $2,486,000 during the period.
Operational highlights
The Company continues to deliver against programs with existing customers, including:
•
The successful delivery of pre-production engine packages to Textron Systems for the upcoming
FTUAS program, with final flight testing now underway. FTUAS is the US Army Future Tactical
Unmanned Aircraft System program for the deployment of unmanned drones into military operations.
A decision on the FTUAS program is now expected in Q3 of calendar 2025.
•
A $3.5 million contract extension with DSO National Laboratories (the centre of R&D for the Singapore
Armed Forces) for the supply of additional engine packages. The order book currently runs to mid2026 and DSO has also placed initial orders for the delivery of larger prototype engine systems in
support their next generation UAV platform.
•
A new contract with Dynamatic Technologies Limited to integrate an Orbital 150 Heavy Fuel Engine
(HFE) into a new UAV platform for the Indian military. Dynamatic designs and builds highly engineered
products for Automotive, Aeronautic, Hydraulic and Security applications with design, engineering and
manufacturing facilities in Europe and India, and has a market capitalisation of A$1 billion.
Capital Management
Orbital UAV’s growth and capital requirements saw the Company complete a fully underwritten $2 million
renounceable rights issue in December 2024. Funds raised will be directed towards customer engine
development programs, Orbital UAV engine development programs, plant & equipment and general
working capital.
During the period, Orbital UAV successfully completed the required project milestones to enable the offset
the full value of the WA Government loan and as a result is now debt-free.
As a result of the above, Net Assets at 31 December 2024 were $13.1 million.
To facilitate further growth, a $2 million standby working capital facility was established in February 2025
with the Company’s two major shareholders (refer to separate ASX Announcement lodged today).
Outlook
The repayment of the Company’s WA Government loan, the successful completion of the capital raising
and the establishment of the standby working capital facility has strengthened Orbital UAV’s balance sheet
and provides the financial capacity to progress the Company’s growth aspirations and new product
development programs.
Textron Aerosonde® drones containing the Company’s 150HFE system are currently undergoing trials
and field testing by the United States Department of Defence as part of the FTUAS program, and a final
contract decision is expected in Q3 of 2025. This represents a six-month delay on the previously expected
project timetable.
Orbital will continue the internally funded development of a new higher capacity engine package along
with the commercialisation of advanced power management and ECU systems to deliver increased
revenue through an expanded product range.

systems for and ongoing in-service support. Engineering services income of $1,070,000 from development programs across Orbital UAV’s
customer portfolio comprises services to enable the transition and integration of design, verification and testing to bring engine systems into
production readiness.
Orbital UAV continues to progress its internally funded engineering studies and pre-production prototyping activities for a larger engine
platform and a range of ancillary equipment.
Customer Programs
The Group continues to deliver against long standing programs with existing customers Textron Systems, DSO National Laboratories (“DSO”)
and Finance International PL and has successfully established a new engagement with Dynamatic Technology Limited (“Dynamatic”) to
integrate an Orbital 150 Heavy Fuel Engine (HFE) into a Dynamatic designed UAV platform.
The recently announced $3.5 million contract extension with DSO in October 2024 validates the effectiveness of the design & development
and first engine delivery activities. The order book for the DSO engine platform currently runs to mid-2026 and DSO has also placed initial
orders for the delivery of larger prototype engine systems in support of their next generation UAV platform.
Orbital UAV continues to support Boeing Insitu with fleet maintenance and technical support.
Capital Management
During the half-year Orbital UAV retired the balance of the long-standing WA Government loan that was provided in 2010. The repayment of
the final balance of $2,486,000 means that Orbital UAV is now debt free. In December 2024 the Company completed a capital raising via a
Renounceable Rights Issue to raise $2 million before costs. Funds raised are to be directed towards new engine development programs and
general working capital.
Subsequent Events
In February 2025 the Group established a $2 million standby working capital loan facility with it's two largest shareholders to provide further
financial capacity to continue the Group's new product development activities. As at the date of this report, the loan facility was undrawn.

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Reporting Entity
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2024 of Orbital Corporation Limited (“the Company” or
“the Parent”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “the Group”) were authorised for issue by the Company's Directors on 28 February 2025.
The Company is a for-profit company limited by shares domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange
("ASX"). The registered office of the Group is 4 Whipple Street, Balcatta, Western Australia.
The Group is principally engaged in revolutionary design, proven manufacturing processes and rigorous testing to deliver superiority in UAV propulsion
systems and flight critical components. The Group drives its UAV-focused strategy from its dedicated production facilities in WA, Australia and Oregon,
USA.
(b)
Basis of preparation
This general purpose condensed consolidated financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2024. has been prepared in accordance with
Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
The half-year condensed consolidated financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and
therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of
the consolidated entity as the annual financial report.
It is recommended that the half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024 and considered
together with any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year ended 31 December 2024 in accordance with the continuous
disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.
The half-year condensed consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the AASB.
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in
accordance with that Instrument, amounts in the half-year condensed consolidated financial report and Directors’ Report have been rounded off to the
nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise indicated.
(c)
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board
('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory
have not been early adopted.
(d)
Going concern assumption
The half-year condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Group will continue its
operations and be able to meet its obligations as and when they become due and payable. This assumption is based on the Group’s ability to meet its
future cash flow requirements given the cash flow projection, and existing cash reserves held as at 31 December 2024.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2024, the Group recorded an after tax profit of $314,000 and had operating cash outflows of $2,901,000. As at 31
December 2024 the Group had net assets of $13,086,000 and net current assets of $4,972,000.
The Group also had cash outflows from investing activities of $1,067,000 and cash inflows from financing activities of $1,767,000 leading to net cash
outflows for the half-year ended 31 December 2024 of $2,201,000.
The going concern assumption is based on the Group’s cash flow projections and existing cash reserves as at 31 December 2024 and covers a period
of at least twelve months from the date of this report.
The projections show that the continuing viability of the Group and its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as they
fall due is dependent upon a number of factors including:
• achieving forecasted operational performance and positive operating cash flows from the existing engine production and engineering programs;
• continued success in developing and commercialising new engines;
• reducing overheads through cost saving initiatives; and
• securing funding above and beyond the Group’s existing committed facilities if required.
As a result of these matters, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and
therefore that the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Directors consider that the Group will be successful in the above matters and have therefore prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

OPERATING SEGMENTS
Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief
operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
Segment performance is evaluated based on Revenue and Earnings Before Interest and Tax ("EBIT") which is allocated to the reportable segments
according to the geographic location in which the item arose or relates to.
As of the half-year ended 31 December 2024, the Group operates and generates revenue from a single geographic location. As a result, reporting
segmentation is no longer considered relevant. Accordingly, the Group has only one reportable operating segment, which is Australia.

Recognition and measurement
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are
accounted for as follows:
• Raw materials: weighted average cost
• Finished goods and work in progress: weighted average cost of direct materials and direct manufacturing labour and a proportion of manufacturing
overhead costs
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
