Chairman and
Managing Director’s
Address
Dear Shareholder,
Welcome to Pentanet’s Annual Report for the
Financial Year ended 30 June 2025.
FY25 marked a significant turning point for Pentanet as
the Company delivered positive $1.4 million EBITDA for
the first time in its history, representing a substantial
$2.7 million improvement year-on-year (YoY).
This achievement was driven by revenue growth and
improved gross profit performance, supported by higher
Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and margin uplift
following plan restructuring and renegotiated supplier
contracts across both business segments. Disciplined
and targeted marketing spend during the 5G build
phase, along with a sharpened focus on 5G, contributed
to reduced operating costs and ensured resources were
aligned toward supporting higher margin products.
The Company’s capital-efficient approach to 5G network
expansion assisted cash performance and supports
future growth for Pentanet’s telecommunication
segment. Through a targeted equipment swap
arrangement, the Company expanded 5G coverage to
~25% of its historic tower footprint without significant
upfront capital outlay.
This approach led to steady subscriber growth,
with total subscribers reaching 18,157, up 4%
YoY. 5G subscribers grew by 126% YoY to 904,
demonstrating strong demand for alternative
services delivered over fixed wireless technology.
Churn improved from 1.4% to 1.2%, reflecting the
positive impact of simplified plans, improved customer
experience, and a compelling value proposition.
Pentanet’s gaming segment completed the transition
to NVIDIA’s RTX 4080 SuperPODs, aligning
cloud gaming infrastructure with NVIDIA’s global
standard and offering best-in-class performance.
Gaming plans were restructured to optimise ARPU
and improve margin contribution, resulting in a
31% YoY increase in revenue to $2.4 million and
a 226% increase in gross profit to $1.4 million.

CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR'S ADDRESS
This positions CloudGG for further growth, supported
by the NVIDIA strategic partnership and strong
platform fundamentals.
Looking ahead to FY26, Pentanet will increase growth
investment to accelerate subscriber acquisition,
enhance brand visibility, and increase utilisation of 5G
and GPU infrastructure. The core focus remains on
building momentum in both the telecommunication and
gaming segments to drive top-line growth and deliver
long-term value for shareholders.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our
talented team, Board, partners and loyal shareholders.
Your continued support and dedication have been
instrumental. We are excited about the opportunities
ahead and remain confident in our ability to deliver
faster, smarter and richer digital experiences for
our customers.
Thank you for your continued support as we enter the
next phase of growth in FY26.

Operational
Advancements
and Future Growth
Outlook
FY25 saw significant advancements and strategic
initiatives aimed at enhancing Pentanet’s service
offerings and expanding market presence.
The Company focused on simplifying its on-net
and off-net product suite and expanding network
coverage, including the continued rollout of
5G Fixed Wireless technology.
The rising demand for high-speed connectivity products
was met with encouraging uptake of 5G Fixed Wireless
in available areas. This momentum was driven by ongoing
tower upgrades and targeted new tower deployments,
and renegotiation of multiple network contracts to improve
performance and strengthen margins.
To support the 5G rollout with minimal cash impact,
Pentanet secured 25 5G base stations and 423 Customer
Premises Equipment units via a stock swap arrangement
with its main equipment supplier. This has significantly
reduced capital expenditure requirements, improving
the overall cash cost of the network upgrade program
and allowing resources to remain focused on expanding
coverage and capacity.
During FY25, Pentanet focused on growing top-line
revenue and reducing churn through targeted promotional
initiatives and ongoing product optimisation. The
Company launched campaigns to test price sensitivity for
5G services, collected data to identify areas and service
types where 5G could compete, and ensured off-net
pricing remained in line with the evolving competitive
landscape.
As a result, net new subscribers increased by 4% yearon-year (YoY) to 18,157, with 5G subscribers increasing
by 126% YoY to 904. Churn improved from 1.4% down
to 1.2% YoY, reflecting improved customer retention
initiatives and overall positive impact of product and
service adjustments.
The increasing demand for reliable and performant
connectivity continues to build momentum. Pentanet is
ready to address this need competitively, with 5G now
covering ~25% of its tower footprint as at 30 June 2025.
Looking ahead to FY26, the ‘telco’ strategy will continue
to focus on maintaining sustainable growth and lowering
churn through competitive value offerings and continued
product and service enhancements.
Pentanet will continue to operate with
financial discipline and operational
rigour. In FY26, growth investment
in marketing will increase to further
leverage deployed 5G and GPU
infrastructure. Targeted campaigns
and continued platform optimisation
will accelerate subscriber acquisition
and deliver sustained value for both
customers and shareholders.
In the cloud gaming sector, significant improvements
in the product offering were achieved by restructuring
plans and pricing. This included replacing the free tier
with a 3-hour ‘Ultimate Trial’, giving users the opportunity
to experience GeForce NOW’s highest tier, with RTX
4080-powered performance. These adjustments
contributed to a 31% YoY revenue uplift to $2.4m.
Gaming segment gross profit also increased 226% YoY
to $1.4 million.
By the end of FY25, GeForce NOW Powered by CloudGG
had over 725,000 registrations and over 2,200 supported
games, with new titles added weekly.
Pentanet will continue to operate with financial discipline
and operational rigour. In FY26, growth investment in
marketing will increase to further leverage deployed
5G and GPU infrastructure. Targeted campaigns and
continued platform optimisation will accelerate subscriber
acquisition and deliver sustained value for both customers
and shareholders.

Telecommunications
Update
Telecommunications growth in FY25 remained steady, supported
by product improvements and ongoing network investments,
despite an increasingly competitive landscape following the
expansion of nbn® wholesale Fibre-to-the-Premises offers.
In response, Pentanet continued to simplify its wireless plan structure,
advance the ‘Fibre Connect’ campaign, and refine nbn promotional
offerings to maintain competitiveness and better meet evolving customer
needs. These strategies, combined with ongoing marketing initiatives,
have contributed to positive results, including reduced churn and higher
sales volumes.
A strong shift towards higher-speed on-net and off-net plans continued
in FY25, contributing to ARPU growth from $92 to $94 and supporting
overall revenue uplift.
Telecommunications gross profit increased by 5% YoY to $9.6 million,
while the segment maintained a gross margin of 48%. Improved cost
efficiency, particularly with off-net services gross margin increasing from
19% to 25%, further supported this result.
Looking ahead, Pentanet remains focused on leveraging its existing
tower footprint to enhance plan value further, increase adoption of
higher‑margin on-net services to drive uptake of premium-speed
services and strengthen long-term profitability.
The best thing about
Pentanet is being able
to talk to a relatable
human being when
there is a problem.

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
5G Fixed Wireless
In FY25, Pentanet accelerated the expansion of its
5G Fixed Wireless network, operating on exclusively
licensed 5G mmWave spectrum.
The Company upgraded seven additional towers to 5G,
bringing 5G coverage to ~25% of the tower footprint
across Perth. This targeted expansion was supported by
a strategic equipment swap arrangement, significantly
reducing upfront capital expenditure and preserving cash
for broader growth initiatives.
5G subscribers grew by 126% YoY to 904, demonstrating
strong demand for alternative services delivered over fixed
wireless technology. at competitive price points.
Continued growth is anticipated in the 5G subscriber
base as the 5G tower footprint continues to expand.
Competitive value improvements to ensure plans remain
attractive alongside targeted marketing initiatives will
drive subscriber acquisition in enabled areas.
Key metrics across the
telecommunications segment:
• Revenue up 6% YoY to $20.2m in line with
subscriber growth
• Recurring revenue makes up 96% of total
revenue
• Gross profit is up 5% YoY to $9.6m, with users
opting for higher ARPU and margin plans
• Increased EBITDA to $1.9m in the year
• Reduced churn from 1.39% in FY24 to 1.23%
in FY25
• Blended ARPU increased to $94 YoY as
subscribers shifted towards higher-speed plans
• Product suite aligned with the competitive
landscape
• FY25 closed with a total of 18,157 subscribers
Since changing to Pentanet, I have
experienced nothing but consistency
and reliability with our home
internet. Also, we do love having
a Perth-based support team.
Please don’t go down the path
of every other provider by
outsourcing this overseas.
Keep up the great work!

Pentanet Named WeMoney’s
2025 Fixed Wireless Provider
of the Year
Customer Voices, Strategic Choices
In FY25, Pentanet was proud to be named Fixed
Wireless Provider of the Year in the 2025 WeMoney
Telco & Broadband Awards, recognising its position
as the leading choice in WA, beating seven other
national providers.
In June 2025, we ran our most in-depth customer
survey to date, hearing from nearly 1,900 Pentanet
subscribers - around 11% of our base. The goal was
simple: understand who our customers are, how they
use our services, and what matters most to them.
This award reflects ongoing commitment to delivering
high-performance, reliable, and affordable Fixed
Wireless internet across Perth. It also reinforces the
value of Pentanet’s private 5G network infrastructure and
the strength of its customer-first approach.
Here’s what we learnt:
Raising the bar for connectivity in WA
Pentanet has spent the past eight years investing
in smarter infrastructure and stronger customer
experiences – making fast, stable, and flexible internet
access a reality for more West Australians.
Today, our Fixed Wireless offering delivers next-level
connectivity for everything from remote work and online
learning to gaming and streaming.
How performance was assessed
The WeMoney Awards are based on independent,
weighted evaluations across four key pillars:
1. Affordability and fees
2. Features and functionality
3. Network performance and coverage
4. Customer experience
• Many of our customers are WA-based homeowners
aged 35-54, often in busy, multi-device households with
kids, work, and entertainment needs all under one roof.
• People choose Pentanet for quality, not just price.
Local support, reliability, and speed all outranked price,
discounts or promotions.
• Being Perth-based matters. It’s our biggest differentiator,
and our customers genuinely value being able to speak to
a real person, close to home.
• Streaming and remote work drive demand. Customers
rely on Pentanet for work, play, study, and security, often
all at once.
• The smart home is here to stay. Our customers are
connecting more internet-enabled devices than ever
before - from air conditioners, robo-vacs, and fridges to
VR headsets, sprinklers, pool cleaners, medical devices,
solar panels, outdoor lighting, and even barbecues.
Reliable connectivity isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential.
These insights are helping guide our strategy in FY26 and
beyond, from brand positioning and network growth to
enhanced customer support, empowered teams, and better
experiences all round.
A shared win
This recognition is a credit to the passion and expertise
of our local team, who continue to raise the bar for
what’s possible in WA telco. It’s also a thank you to our
loyal customers, whose trust and advocacy drive us to
do better every day.
It's such an amazing service and
experience when you're dealing with
people that actually know what
they're talking about.

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Commercial Team Strengthens
Channel Foundations in FY25
In FY25, Pentanet’s Commercial Team focused on
strengthening engagement with managed service
providers (MSPs), IT providers, and other B2B
channels.
The team refined its go-to-market strategy
and enhanced channel enablement to support
approximately 100 predominantly Western Australian
partners through improved partner education, targeted
brand positioning, and expanded product capability,
including the rebranded Pentanet Business Fibre.
The team worked to broaden market reach and
reinforce Pentanet’s business-grade connectivity
offerings.
With scalable partner infrastructure, diversified network
access, and a disciplined operational approach, the
Commercial Team has built strong momentum and
established a foundation to support further expansion
and margin-aligned revenue growth in FY26.
“Working with Pentanet’s Commercial Team has been
one of the most consistent highlights of our 18-year
journey in the Managed Services space across the
globe. From day one, they have been nothing short of
exceptional. Rev and Connor are more than just account
managers; they’re true partners and considered part of
our team here at Royal IT.
Their unwavering dependability and relentless dedication
to customer satisfaction make them stand out in a
crowded industry. Every single day, they make us look
good. They take initiative, solve problems before they
arise, and always go the extra mile without hesitation.
In a space where reliability is often promised but rarely
delivered, they embody what it means to be trustworthy
and results-driven, every time. Whether it's a complex
client request, a last-minute implementation, or a routine
check-in, they bring the same level of care and urgency to
everything they do.
Pentanet don’t just support Royal IT; they elevate us
as a business and our service offering to customers.
Because of this, we recommend Pentanet to every
single customer.”

Cloud Gaming Update
Pentanet’s exclusive regional Alliance Partnership
with NVIDIA has continued to solidify GeForce
NOW Powered by CloudGG as the premier cloud
gaming service across Australia and New Zealand.
• A 100-hour monthly playtime limit was introduced
across all new paid subscriptions, with current
active memberships grandfathered into unlimited
playtime to incentivise retention.
Cloud gaming improvements were driven by three key
goals: improving service quality, streamlining the plan
range, and revamping the free user experience to deliver
better outcomes.
• Completed transition of Australian GeForce NOW
infrastructure to RTX 4080 SuperPODs, delivering
NVIDIA’s highest available performance tier, with
support for up to 4K resolution and high frame rates.
These changes began in H1 FY25 with the removal
of the low cost paid subscription (Basic), followed by
a price adjustment to all monthly subscriptions and a
pause on free trial subscriptions in preparation for a
series of further changes launching in January 2025:
• The mid-tier Priority plan was rebranded
Performance and upgraded with additional
value‑adds and features.
• The popular free trial relaunched as Ultimate
Trial, offering a three-hour trial of our Ultimate

from sale, simplifying the line-up and further
uplifting ARPU.
These changes delivered a 31% increase in YoY
revenue to $2.4m, as new members joined on highermargin plans, and grandfathered members showed
stronger retention.

performance, GeForce NOW remains Australia’s
premier cloud gaming solution, with the changes
