To support this rollout, HITIQ executed a national marketing campaign with Sports Entertainment
Network (SEN), delivering over 1,000 advertisements across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The
campaign is strategically aligned with peak pre-season purchasing periods and targets athletes,
parents and community sporting networks.
Sales activity accelerated throughout the quarter, with revenue generated across retail channels,
direct-to-consumer sales, sporting organisations and elite programmes. The Company also
achieved its first international club sale, with Kinross Rugby Club in Scotland purchasing PROTEQT™
units, providing an early reference point for broader international expansion.
HITIQ further strengthened its strategic positioning through the establishment of a high-calibre
Advisory Board, bringing together elite athlete experience, neuroscience expertise and medical
technology commercialisation capability. These appointments support product development,
validation and global market expansion initiatives.
Capital Management and Corporate Activity
During the quarter, HITIQ maintained a strong focus on capital management and funding initiatives
to support commercial scaling.
The Company progressed funding discussions and financing structures aligned to its commercial
rollout strategy, including working capital facilities and convertible funding structures designed to
support inventory build, marketing investment and operational scale-up.
Corporate governance remained a priority, with Board and Company Secretary transitions
completed during the quarter to strengthen governance processes and support ongoing
compliance with ASX Listing Rules.
Market Outlook
With national retail distribution now established, a large-scale marketing campaign underway, and
early international sales achieved, the Company is well positioned to accelerate growth through
continued retail expansion, conversion of marketing investment into sustained revenue growth,
expansion of international distribution channels, and ongoing development of institutional,
insurance and defence-aligned opportunities.
The Company remains focused on scaling operations efficiently, improving unit economics and
driving adoption across both community and elite sporting markets.
Financial Position
The Company continued to manage cash prudently during the quarter, balancing investment in
marketing, inventory and commercial expansion with disciplined cost control.
Funding initiatives and access to existing financing facilities provide near-term liquidity as the
Company transitions toward increased revenue generation and improved operating leverage.
