Basis of Preparation
The financial information in this press release is unaudited and has been derived from the Company’s management accounts for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and the comparative three months ended September 30, 2025. It has not been reviewed or audited by the Company’s independent auditors and may be subject to change.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This press release includes EBITDA, which is not a measure defined under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). VivoPower defines EBITDA as profit/loss for the period before net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization. Management believes this measure helps investors compare operating performance before the effects of financing, taxation and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of cash flow or liquidity. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared under IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to profit/loss for the period, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, is set out below.
