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 during FY25, which included the closure of the
Sunshine Coast manufacturing facility (with relocation of production to Brisbane and Sydney). These actions
continue to improve gross margins through scale and purchasing power.
• Each of FOS’ acquisitions to date, along with ongoing core business growth, are accruing significant scale
advantages and the resulting operating leverage has allowed strong top line growth to generate stronger
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.

Aldridge Traffic Systems – Acquisition
Acquisition of ATS in June 2025 advances key strategic priorities
• The acquisition of key road-lighting player ATS strengthened FOS
Capital’s existing presence in the road lighting industry, which is
characterised by high barriers to entry due to stringent product
approval requirements by various road authorities and the small
number of approved providers.
• Substantial progress has been made since the acquisition of
ATS:
• The business now has a dedicated team of seven key staff,
most in sales functions, all of whom have significant
experience in the road sector;
• Since acquisition orders procured to date stand at $0.56
million and active quotes at $1.8 million; and
• The sale of non-core assets is progressing.
The ATS assets support FOS by expanding the Group’s scale, providing access to new markets, generating
operating leverage, and supporting ongoing government infrastructure spending.

Glowing Structures – Acquisition
Acquisition of specialist lighting design consultancy
• In May 2025 FOS acquired Glowing Structures, a
specialist lighting design consultancy based in
Melbourne that provides clients across a range of
sectors with innovative design services and technical
advice, from conception to installation, with a focus on
consistently high standards.

• Glowing Structures was established in 2007 and is an
international award-winning specialist lighting design
consultancy, which provides high-quality services
covering lighting conception through to installation.
• The acquisition of Glowing Structures significantly
expands FOS’ presence in the lighting services industry,
with a significant opportunity to convert a high
percentage of Glowing Structures’ sales
specifications into sales of the lighting products FOS
manufactures and distributes. In FY24 Glowing
Structures’ lighting product sales specifications were
$14m.
