Amaero Executes Key Growth Initiatives and Advances Commercial
Momentum in December 2025 Quarter
Capital investment execution, defense validation and conversion of strategic partnership
underpin progress toward scaled commercial production
Amaero Ltd (ASX:3DA; OTC:AMROF) (“Amaero” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders and
investors with an update on the Company’s activities for the quarter ended 31 December 2025.
HIGHLIGHTS
Revenue for first half of FY2026 equals A$7.7 million, an increase of 366% over same period in
FY2025.
Provided updated financial guidance with estimated revenue in FY2026 of A$18 million to A$20
million, an increase of 372% to 425% over FY2025. Contracted revenue of A$9.7 million has been
secured for second half of FY2026. December ending cash and restricted cash balance equals
A$52.6 million, an increase of A$1.7 million over September ending balance.
Executed key capital investments to support U.S. manufacturing scale-up, entering into
purchase contracts for a dedicated Argon recycling plant and a fourth advanced EIGA Premium
atomiser, supporting increased powder production capacity and materially lower unit costs as the
Company prepares for scaled commercial production.1
Achieved material capital efficiency and unit cost optimisation outcomes, securing the Argon
recycling plant at approximately 60% below earlier cost estimates, improving capital efficiency and
accelerating the Company’s pathway toward a structurally lower cost base.
Continued disciplined capital deployment aligned with the Company’s growth strategy,
supported by a strong cash position and non-dilutive EXIM Bank financing structured to align with
equipment delivery, commissioning and production ramp-up schedules.
Received formal validation from the United States Navy with a Letter of Support, recognising
Amaero’s PM-HIP manufacturing process as a viable and scalable alternative to traditional casting
and forging supply chains supporting the U.S. maritime and defense industrial base.2
Converted a strategic partnership into an initial commercial supply order, receiving a A$4.6
million refractory powder purchase order from Titomic Limited under the parties’ five-year
exclusive supply and development agreement, marking an important step toward recurring
commercial supply in FY2026.3
Reported continued operational momentum during the quarter including increases in powder
shipments and atomization output, reflecting improved utilisation of existing capacity and ongoing
manufacturing optimisation initiatives ahead of additional capacity coming online.
Continued to advance a diversified portfolio of commercial opportunities, progressing
engagement across defense, aerospace, space, medical, and industrial markets, underpinned by
increasing recognition of Amaero’s U.S.-based refractory and titanium alloy powder production
coupled with proprietary PM-HIP manufacturing of near-net-shape parts.

Hank J. Holland, Amaero’s Chairman and CEO, commented:
“The December Quarter represented a continuing transition from the build out and commissioning phase to
commercialization and scaling revenue phase. Having established strong technical validation, customer
engagement and financial capacity, our focus has shifted firmly toward scaling production, reducing unit costs
and converting opportunities into sustainable commercial outcomes.
During the Quarter, we executed key capital investments that materially advance our U.S. manufacturing
capability, achieved meaningful improvements in capital efficiency and received strong external validation from
the United States Navy for our PM-HIP manufacturing approach. Importantly, we also began to convert strategic
partnerships into commercial supply, as evidenced by the purchase order received from Titomic under our long-
term exclusive agreement.
“Entering calendar 2026, we expect that headwinds that resulted from the FY2025 continuing resolution and the
43-day government shutdown will turn to positive tailwinds that accelerate commercial opportunities. From a
national policy perspective and from an investor perspective, there is strong thematic support in the United
States for companies that are focused on re-shoring and scaling defense industrial base, critical minerals, and
sovereign manufacturing and supply chains. Amaero is increasingly positioned as a critical enabler of advanced
manufacturing supply chains across defense, aerospace and industrial markets. With a strengthened balance
sheet, expanding production capability and a growing pipeline of qualified opportunities, we remain resolutely
focused on disciplined execution, operational excellence and unlocking long-term value for our shareholders.”
Strategic and Operational Progress
During the Quarter, Amaero continued to execute on its strategy to establish a scaled, cost-competitive U.S.
domestic manufacturing platform for high-value refractory and titanium alloy powders and near-net-shape PM-
HIP components.
The Company entered binding purchase contracts for a dedicated Argon recycling plant and its fourth advanced
EIGA Premium atomizer. These investments are expected to materially expand production capacity while
delivering significant operating cost reductions, including an estimated reduction in Argon costs of approximately
80% once fully commissioned. The Argon recycling plant was secured at a cost approximately 60% below earlier
estimates, improving expected capital efficiency and accelerating progress toward competitive commercial
production.
Manufacturing optimization initiatives continued during the Quarter, with a focus on process, safety and quality
controls to support consistent output as additional capacity is commissioned.
Defense and Government Engagement
In December 2025, Amaero received a Letter of Support from the United States Department of the Navy,
recognising the Company’s PM-HIP manufacturing process as a viable and scalable alternative to traditional
casting and forging supply chains.
This recognition followed extensive technical engagement and reinforces Amaero’s alignment with U.S.
sovereign manufacturing priorities, particularly in addressing supply-chain constraints and long lead times
across the maritime and defense industrial base.
Commercial Progress
Amaero continued to transition strategic relationships into early commercial outcomes during the Quarter. In
December, the Company received a A$4.6 million purchase order from Titomic Limited (ASX:TTT) for
refractory alloy powders under the parties’ existing five-year exclusive supply and development agreement.

ASX Announcement
19 January 2026
Shipments under this order are scheduled for FY2026 and represent an important step toward establishing a
recurring commercial supply.
In parallel, the Company continued to advance a diversified pipeline of commercial opportunities across
defence, aerospace, space, medical and industrial applications, reflecting growing customer engagement with
Amaero’s U.S.-based manufacturing capabilities.
Financial Position and Capital Investment
Amaero maintained a strong financial position throughout the Quarter, supporting continued execution of its
growth and capital investment program. Capital deployment remained aligned with previously announced
initiatives, with EXIM Bank financing structured to match equipment delivery, commissioning and production
ramp-up schedules.
Financial Guidance
On 15 January 2026, Amaero provided an update to its FY2026 financial guidance.4 The Company estimated
FY2026 revenue to equal A$18 million to A$20 million, an increase of 372% to 425% over FY2025. The
Company has secured contracts for second half of FY2026 equal to A$9.7 million. The December ending cash
balance was estimated at A$52.6 million, an increase of A$1.7 million from September ending balance.
The revision to FY2026 revenue guidance primarily reflects timing delays in contract awards and revenue
recognition associated with extended U.S government funding uncertainty and a temporary federal government
shutdown during the December quarter. Importantly, these delays have not impacted demand or long-term
program pipelines.
Outlook
Amaero enters calendar year 2026 with a strong balance sheet, contracted revenue visibility, and expanded
production capabilities. The Company expects improved contracting momentum following the anticipated
resolution of U.S federal budget appropriations, alongside continued policy support for domestic advanced
manufacturing and supply chain resilience.
Amaero remains focused on disciplined execution, advancing commercial contracts, and scaling production in
line with customer demand, with the objective of achieving sustainable positive EBITDA.
Related Party Payments
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 4.7C.3 and as disclosed in Item 6.1 of the Appendix 4C for the Quarter ended 31
December 2025, payments to related parties during the Quarter comprised remuneration, directors’ fees and
consulting fees paid to entities associated with Directors. These payments were made on normal commercial
terms.
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Directors.
