Growth Strategy
Consolidating fragmented markets via organic growth and M&A
• As a leader in highly fragmented markets, FOS is able to acquire businesses and realise significant synergies,
providing a base to take further market share.
• The seven acquisitions executed to date have been successfully integrated and optimised, with the recent
integration of Aldridge Traffic Systems and Glowing Structures continuing to improve. Management have maintained
a consistent focus on business optimisation in order to improve gross margins through scale and purchasing power.
Following recent acquisition integrations, FOS identified opportunities to further reduce operating expenses. A
combination of head count reduction and import replacement of certain products is expected to drive annualised
savings and Gross Profit improvements of $1m per annum, with these changes commencing from 3Q26.
• Each of FOS’acquisitions to date, along with ongoing core business growth, are accruing significant scale
advantages and the resulting operating leverage will allow strong top line growth to generate strong earnings
growth.
• FOS remains well placed to support ongoing government infrastructure spending and is increasingly recognised as a
key provider of choice for our customers.
The upside from decisions and investments to date continue to accrue, and FOS maintains a strong focus on
accretive & strategic acquisitions alongside realising further value from recent acquisitions.

As previously disclosed, soft trading
conditions in recent months have
resulted in orders taking longer than usual
to secure, impacting revenue.
Expenses rose on the addition of
businesses to the Group, with this to be
offset going forward following the
subsequent identification of $1m in
annualised savings (with realisation from
3Q26).
