2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting Address 20 November 2025


FY2025 Overview

Last financial year saw SDL navigate macroeconomic and postal market challenges along

with the adverse outcome from the Company’s largest customer’s RFP resulting in it moving

to a multi-vendor model that required a material cost restructuring in the second half.

The Company produced its third highest ever net profit result of $2.6 million with the effect

of the RFP and subsequent restructuring having an earnings impact in H2. My thanks to all

SDL’s staff for their efforts and contributions in FY2025, especially during a difficult

restructuring process.

Excluding the major customer, revenue growth was solid across the remainder of SDL’s top

ten accounts. While there is additional work coming in from Councils, much of the revenue

gain in New Zealand was from higher postage rate charges which are very low-margin, pass-

through cost to SDL’s customers. The Company also implemented a broad-based price

increase for FY2025. Revenue outside of New Zealand is increasingly high-margin,

volume(click)-based SaaS, along with professional services that are private labelled for

enterprise partners like Pitney Bowes to resell to their global clients. SDL has seen

continued growth in customer usage, driving revenue and improved margins as volumes

have increased.

Global charities have been a key market for SDL over the past five years. Significant funding

cuts in the US and UK from mid-2025 have driven global cutbacks in marketing to existing

donors. SDL pivoted resources and focus away from this sector in early 2H 2025 and

redirected investment into marketing communications software in the dental practice

management software sector.

Key accounts in North America and the UK showed solid revenue growth, with international

revenue modestly assisted by the addition of a small marketing services group in the US.

While general inflationary cost pressure remains, the labour market is soft and wage

pressure is minimal. General costs in the second half of FY20125 declined 10% and overall

Selling, General & Administration costs will annualise to a much lower run rate in FY2026.

The Company’s financial position remains strong with normalised cash position of around

$9-10 million or 61 to 68 cents per share. The Board has adopted a conservative balance

sheet position following the major customer RFP, but is nevertheless acutely aware of the

current low level of the share price. Note that the share buyback is only permitted to

operate outside of usual “blackout” trading windows and also when the Directors are not

holding any material, non-public information. For part of the current year, SDL was in

negotiations to acquire a business, which did not eventuate, but prevented the buyback

from operating while the potential transaction was in progress.

SDL’s International Growth Fund co-funding grant from NZ Trade & Enterprise from late H1

FY2023 continued to operate during FY2025. It reimbursed 50% of US market development

costs to a maximum of $0.6 million. The three years term expired earlier in November 2025

and consequently, the constraint that capped SDL’s distributions (dividends and any capital

returns) at 50% no longer applies.

To regain earnings momentum, SDL is investing in new product development, additional

customer support, and sales resource. The Board has examined acquisitions, including

submitting an NBIO for one opportunity that ultimately did not progress.

All options for improving shareholder value remain on the table. In the near term, the

Company intends to continue to buy back shares subject to both market conditions and

trading window or material, non-public information constraints.


FY2025 Financial Results

Despite difficult conditions and restructuring following the major customer RFP, SDL

generated its third highest ever net profit after tax of $2.6 million, down 7.1% on FY2024,

with dividends to shareholders totalling 3.0 cents per share (fully imputed).

(a) EBITDA (i.e. Earnings before Interest, Taxation, Depreciation, Amortisation and Impairment) is a non-GAAP earnings figure that

equity analysts may focus on for comparable company performance analysis. The Company considers that it is a useful financial

indicator because it avoids the distortions caused by the differences in capital structure, amortisation and impairment policies.


The Company’s revenue increased 6.9% to $42.3 million, partly the result of postage prices

increasing but also aided by a general price rise at the start of the financial year. SDL

continued to gain market share, albeit in a declining local print and mail market.

Outside of the addition of a North American marketing agency, there was little new business

from international operations, although existing customers are showing strong growth.

While SG&A expenses declined 1.7% year-on-year, the H2-on-H2 decline was 10% and the

underlying H2 decline was larger but masked by restructuring costs.

The restructuring process was a difficult exercise, caused disruption to operational

efficiency and had an impact on culture.

Strategy: Digital First

SDL operates in the enterprise customer communications space managing the entire

lifecycle from data and assets, through composition and personalization, through delivery

and response. The main goal for most clients is digital transformation and to improve the

customer experience (CX). Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of printed

communications, SDL’s legacy mailhouse business, remains vital but is a declining market

where we continue to gain market share.

Many of SDL’s competitors offer fully digital-only or primarily printed communications

services. However, most enterprise customers still require a solution that encompasses

both digital and print. Having a complete, integrated offering, and leading with digital,

provides differentiation and has enabled us to grow in a declining market.

While our strategy remains “digital first” the market opportunity is moving upstream to

managing and leveraging data and AI. This diagram is a simplified workflow depiction. Data

and assets that feed into content creation can emanate from multiple sources and often

require manipulation or validation before use. Content can be personalised as customers

require, and omni-channel output can then be delivered across physical and digital

channels.



While SDL leads with digital transformation value and our digital volumes exceed our

printed volumes, most of the Company’s revenue in FY2025 was from printed

communications. The shift from print to digital continues to evolve, but at the same time,

digital distribution is becoming more complex and, in some cases, less effective. For

example, digital deliverability and open rates have become a key area of focus, due to spam

filters and other filtering from internet service providers. SDL has recently partnered with a

leading-edge digital delivery provider to deploy a best-in-class digital deliverability solution.

SDL began enabling AI capabilities with the launch of GenComm AI in 2024. GenComm

makes it easier to create highly personalized communications including language translation

at scale, provide analytics, insights, and recommended actions that lead to greater business

impact. Many of these capabilities are being leveraged and enhanced in our new nGAGE

product for the dental market.

Dental Communications

Our annual report noted that SDL had existing vertical market software that provided

marketing functionality for dentists, in conjunction with a leading on-premise dental

software practice management package. The vendor of that package, Henry Schein, is

phasing out the on-premise solution, replacing it with a cloud-based solution.

SDL hired an executive with expertise in the dental market and has now built an initial MVP

(minimum viable product) offering with significantly greater functionality and ease-of-use

for campaign marketing than the Company’s prior product. SDL’s product is branded

nGAGE.

nGAGE leverages dental patient data to drive dental practice growth. nGAGE makes it easy

to acquire new patients, cross sell to existing patients, and improve patient engagement. It

is a material upgrade on SDL’s prior product and provides essential marketing functionality

that the core dental management software lacks. In addition to campaign management,

built in AI assists with a range of marketing and analysis and SDL’s data architecture allows

assessment of marketing ROI. The MVP is now in beta pilot testing with several practices in

the UK and expected to fully launch with version 1 during H2 FY2026.

Initial demonstrations at UK trade shows have seen significant interest and a corporate

dental group has already purchased a software licence for all its practices.

For more details, refer to https://solutiondynamics.com/ngage-ai/

The data architecture underlying nGAGE means it can be utilised in vertical markets aside

from dental, although the UK dental market is where SDL’s initial sales focus will be applied

over 2026.

Importantly, this is the first software solution SDL has provided that is not enterprise

focused and has the ability to scale beyond a single customer problem/solution.

nGAGE bridges the gap between dental practice management and analytics by creating

effective marketing campaigns to optimise practice financial outcomes. This covers a range

of activity from new patient acquisition, to ensuring existing patients understand their

treatment options through to monitoring the practice’s brand and reputation. nGAGE is

tightly integrated with Dentally patient information, which it uses – in conjunction with AI –

to run targeted marketing campaigns.

AI assists in a variety of ways, including patient analysis to suggest campaigns for specific

treatments or lapsed patients, answering operational and support issues, campaign

monitoring and feedback, cross-sell opportunities, as well as monitoring practice statistics.

Additionally, the linkage back to Dentally information, provides the ability to track ROI

(return on investment) effectiveness.


FY2026 Outlook

The current financial year has been affected by SDL’s CEO, Pat Brand, having a serious family

medical issue to manage that means he is unable to travel and is operating on reduced

hours, predominantly focused on international operations. SDL’s Chair is providing part-

time executive support to the New Zealand operations and the situation remains under

regular review. Pat and SDL leadership team aligned on the Dental PMS strategy and nGAGE

development as well as hired our UK based leader; the team is executing well to plan with

his continued oversight.

International activity from existing customers remains strong in the US and UK and this

trend is expected to continue into FY2027. The acquisition of a marketing services agency

has provided several significant new clients, the most notable being The Hartford in the US,

a leading insurance provider. SDL now has an “in-house” marketing agency that enhances

our marketing capabilities and agility and adds marketing creative services to our

communications services offering.

Opportunities with Australian councils and the launch of nGAGE are expected to support

revenue growth although neither is expected to be a meaningful contributor to FY2026.

nGAGE in particular will act as a drag on earnings for at least the next twelve months. As

previously noted, nGAGE has already signed its first corporate dental group customer while

still in beta pilot phase.

Significant increases in postage rates continue to be implemented by NZ Post – standard

retail mail postage price rose 26% at the end of FY2025, on top of a 15% increase the prior

year. Everything that can digitise, will digitise, especially transactional mail. The effect on

marketing-related communications seems less pronounced given the “digital overload” into

mobile phones and email inboxes. This trend will likely result in SDL continuing to gain

market share, especially in traditional print-heavy customers who require an omni-channel

solution but want to progressively move towards digital. However, this will also mean

ongoing pressure on margins.

SDL is receiving inbound interest in communications relating to NZ Councils’ needs to begin

water billing. The Company is well-positioned to capture a strong share of this market, but

it will be some time before Councils move from the current planning phase into

implementation.

The Directors note that SDL’s share price remains around the top end of estimated cash

backing per share, effectively subscribing no value to SDL’s business operations. The Board

will continue to buy back shares at around current prices, subject to no constraints such as

trading blackout windows or holding material, non-public information. All options for

shareholder value remain on the table.

The Company continues to mature its technology operations and now holds accreditations

for SOC2 and HIPAA, along with ISO27001. SOC (Systems and Organisation Controls) 2 is a

technology security framework that customers are increasingly requiring as evidence of

protection against data and security vulnerabilities. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and

Accountability Act) set standards for safeguarding patients’ “Protected Health Information”

and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI created, maintained,

processed, transmitted, or received electronically. HIPAA certification is essential for

handling health information. SDL is progressively moving mailhouse technology

(applications and infrastructure) to the Cloud and this project is now 62% complete. This

move will provide more consistent and robust service levels to customers.

SDL is maintaining its FY2026 guidance range of $0.1 to $0.6 million. Underlying trading is

current ahead of budget and suggests an outcome towards the top end of guidance.

However, there is clear and increasing pressure on domestic mail volumes as a result of

several years of significant postage rate increases and this will likely place further pressure

on SDL’s margins.

While nGAGE will incur additional (unbudgeted) costs over the second half of FY2026, the

Company believes the product has strong revenue and earnings upside potential and is

investing in both development, product launch and sales activity, which will commence in

the UK but is expected to then expand into the US and Australia/NZ.

The usual risks and caveats apply to SDL’s guidance.
