Key Risks & Forward Financial Information Assumptions
Forward Financial Information Assumptions
The achievement of the FY26 forward information & ~3-year strategic objectives detailed in slide 4 is
based on the below key assumptions, and deviation in the Company’s ability to achieve or not achieve
these key assumptions, may materially affect the Company’s ability to execute these objectives. Refer to
slide 2 for the general disclaimer relating to 'future performance'. The assumptions specific to the FY26
forward information & ~3-year strategic objectives are set out below.
FY26 Outlook Assumptions
• YoY core test volume growth of 100% assumes continued clinician adoption growth in Australia and
the UK market.
- Increased clinician adoption, including continued growth of new clinician accounts and
maintenance of existing test referral rates in Australia & the United Kingdom
- New product feature releases.
FY26 break-even milestones - Assumptions
• Based on operating break-even at a regional level (forecasted to be achieved at test volumes of
>24,000, split across Australia and the UK)
• Break-even figures are on a regional EBITDA basis only and exclude Corporate, Product
Development Expenditure and Share Based Payments expense.
• Australia break-even and UK break-even figures are based on forecast test pricing, targeted gross
margins, and assumed operating cost structures for each geography.
• Test pricing and gross margins are assumed to remain stable over FY25–FY26, with no material
changes.
• Operational costs assume continued efficiencies from fixed infrastructure and modest scaling of
commercial and support functions, including advancement and implementation of product-
assisted/led growth models.
• UK break-even assumptions are modelled using an AUD:GBP exchange rate of 0.48.
• Assumes no material disruption from regulatory changes, macroeconomic & geopolitical shifts, or
competitive pricing actions.
• Forecasts are contingent on execution of FY26 revenue plan and sufficient capital allocation to
support commercial execution and product development.
~3 Year Strategic Objective Assumptions
Group EBITDA Break-even - Assumptions
• Group break-even assumes successful execution of the FY26 regional break-even milestones (see
above), followed by further scale in existing markets.
• Assumes that Operating Expenses, Product Development and Corporate Expenditure grow at a
rate below revenue growth, enabling operating leverage.
• Assumes that new geographies or product development programs do not materially increase
operating expenditure during the period.
Strong YoY Core Test Growth – Australia & United Kingdom – Assumptions
• Growth targets assumed in the Group EBITDA Break-even plan assumes continued strong clinical
adoption by innovator and early adopter clinicians and broader market penetration.
• Assumed strong YoY growth is dependent on the availability of sufficient capital to support
planned commercial expansion, product development and operational scaling. In the event that
capital is not secured at anticipated levels, these objectives may be delayed or may not be
achieved.
Initial Market Penetration – United States & Europe – Assumptions
• Assumed core test pricing aligned with existing competitor predicate tests in market.
• Entry into the US and Europe is expected to be limited to one initial geography in each region.
• Assumes Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) regulatory pathway remains accessible in the US, and
CLIA accreditation is achieved for Microba central laboratory in Australia to service the initial
development of the US market
• Assumes successful establishment of laboratory service partnership and logistics with The
Doctors Laboratory (a subsidiary of Sonic Healthcare) to service volume from the UK and Europe
• Assumes supportive regulatory, geopolitical and tariff environment and no material delays in
market access.
• Assumes no requirement for reimbursement, cash pay sales are considered only.
• Modest investment has been included, no material CAPEX expenditure has been incorporated,
with existing and partner laboratories utilised to service growth in test volume.
Transformative Patient Outcomes – Assumptions
• Qualitative and based on the frequency of patient outcomes shown from existing study data on
Microba’s core tests, and the anticipated growth in patient test usage and resulting continued
growth in clinician adoption

~3 Year Strategic Objective
The information on this slide includes forward financial information (Forward Financial Information). The Forward Financial Information has been prepared by Microba Life Sciences Ltd based on management best estimate assumptions which relate to future event(s) that
Microba expects to occur and actions that Microba expects to take and are also subject to uncertainties and contingencies, which are often outside the control of Microba. While all reasonable endeavours have been made to ensure both the robustness of the assumptions
on which the Forward Financial Information is based and that such assumptions are true, complete and accurate, such assumptions are generally future-oriented and therefore speculative in nature. 'Refer to slide 2 Financial Information Assumptions') for detail on both the
assumptions and risks underpinning the FY26 numbers and ~3 Year Strategic Objective.

Winning key accounts in Australia
• In Australia, adoption has now moved beyond innovators into
early adopters, increasingly characterised by enterprise-style
contracts with healthcare clinics.
• These accounts when signed and activated, represent
meaningful recurring volume potential.
• There are over 130 key account targets currently in the pipeline
in Australia, with an estimated ordering potential of over 60,000
tests per annum.
• Since we commenced targeting these key accounts in
November we have already signed 27, representing a total
estimated ordering potential of over 19,500 tests per annum.
• As at end of March those 27 key accounts had already sold
2,874 tests, growing strongly month on month – March sales
from these accounts annualised is 7,440 tests, showing the
significant growth opportunity ahead from these accounts.

New Product Feature Releases

New Test Release
On track for a major new product release in Q1 FY27.
This product is the culmination of several years of
leadership at the forefront of this new diagnostic category.
This new product represents a meaningful leap in the
clinical application of complete microbiome and gut
testing, and is expected to open up our serviceable
addressable market to more medical doctors, which
represent a significant next segment of the healthcare
practitioner market for our tests.
This new product is live now with a beta cohort of 25
practitioners across AU and UK: multiple parts of the
product are already delivering clinical value and receiving
positive feedback, the new product is powered by
Microba’s proprietary one-of-a-kind Clinical Logic Engine
Targeting release in Q1 FY27
v1.5 Sampling Kit
Better customer experience and lower cost of goods
have been delivered via a new Microbiome Explorer
sampling Kit (v1.5) across AU and UK, introducing
refreshed Microba branding, simplified device
labelling, and a new toilet-collection device to drive
improved sample collection success, reduced
inbound support queries and requests for kit
replacement.

Clinical Integration Platform
Microba's Clinical Integration Platform embeds our tests into the
clinical systems GPs and specialists already use, so they can order,
receive results and act on them without leaving their existing practice
management software and workflows.
In March we executed a commercial partnership agreement with Best
Practice - the dominant GP practice management software in
Australia, used by approximately 28,000 GPs and the software of
choice for every early adopter GP we've interviewed. This will support
ordering of Microba’s product catalogue via Practice Management
Software used in traditional medical workflows across Australia. Best
Practice is the first partner on Microba's Clinical Integration Platform,
with additional partner integrations planned for the quarters ahead.
