In the North American region, our reputation as a strategic leader for customers in the emerging high-value community solar space continues to build. The investment by public and private companies is unprecedented as the demand for, and focus on, renewables to both curb rising living costs and help address climate change challenges continues at pace. In Europe, our investment in Meter & Energy and Trade and Insight modules continues to be well received. In the past year, many multi-geography customers have undertaken initial projects with us in one market, and quickly signed on for further projects across multiple markets and multiple modules of our Hansen Suite for Energy & Utilities as the energy customers navigate the implications of the deregulated and highly competitive energy environment. 2 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 COMMUNICATIONS, TECHNOLOGY & MEDIA A$147.4m Revenue HansenSuite Our tightness with our customers has enabled us to align closely with our Communications & Media customers around the focus in their worlds on 5G, IoT and Cloud transformations. This has resulted in strong momentum in the upgrades of many clients to the latest version of our Communications & Media modules, including many who have chosen to embrace our SaaS and cloud-native versions. These customers are quickly realising benefits that are helping take them to the next level in terms of their seamless service delivery and speed to market. 3 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 CHAIRPERSON AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER JOINT REPORT We are pleased to present the Annual Report for Hansen Technologies Limited for financial year ended 30 June 2022 (FY22). During these uncertain times where we have navigated global challenges never experienced before, Hansen is incredibly proud to deliver its results for FY22. These solid underlying results, and our overall strong financial position, are a direct result of our people and their passion and commitment. Without them and their deep knowledge of the customers we serve, alongside our modular suite of products and solutions, we would not be able to consistently deliver value to them and to you, our shareholders. It is this combination that continues to power our ability to help our customers create and deliver new and engaging customer and service experiences across the Communications, Media & Energy sectors, and in turn create strong and ongoing shareholder value. Last year, as we marked the Company’s 50th anniversary, we reiterated our continued confidence in our business strategy and our people in helping create success for our customers and shareholders. We are delighted to share that in this last 12-month period we closed our largest ever new customer win with Exelon Corporation, the largest utility company in North America. This new significant win, among a range of other new wins and organic growth successes related to 5G, IoT, Cloud transformation and the emerging energy industry, has helped Hansen forge ahead into new and expanding growth markets. To support this growth, we have increased our talent pool in our development and delivery areas of excellence across Argentina, Vietnam and India. This has been achieved despite the challenges the industry has faced with the shortage of talented resources. As Hansen progresses into its future, we continue to invest in advancing our products and solutions. This last year was our most significant year in terms of investing in our suite of products and solutions, as we supported many of our customers with their digital transformations. Hansen’s approach of consistently putting our customers at the centre of our thinking enables us to anticipate and power their journeys into the future. As we closed the year, we are working towards achieving status of Carbon Neutral Certified for our operations in Australia by Climate Active. This focus on supporting a world where we lessen our negative impacts on the environment and focus on what positive impacts we can make is a journey that we will share more on in the coming 12 months. Our Strategy At Hansen, our vision and promise to our customers is simple – it’s about helping our customers traverse the challenges and opportunities of today’s markets. We take on the complex and deliver software solutions that solve business-critical problems, supporting our customers for growth. We do this by partnering closely with them to understand their businesses and the expectations of their customers to help compete beyond the delivery of basic energy and communications services. David Trude Chairman Andrew Hansen CEO “ THIS LAST YEAR WAS OUR MOST SIGNIFICANT YEAR IN TERMS OF INVESTING IN OUR SUITE OF PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS, AS WE SUPPORTED MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS WITH THEIR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS.” 33.8% Underlying EBITDA Margin 63.5% Free Cash Flow as a % of Underlying EBITDA 4 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 How we deliver this is through a combination of three key focuses: • we continue to leverage our global experience and expertise; • we continue to invest in and evolve our offerings to ensure our customers’ technical journeys are on point, and cost- effective; and • we continue to explore how we can enter new markets and new market segments, diversify our customer base and potentially expand into new industry verticals. Our emphasis on strong execution against this strategy has resulted in another very positive year for Hansen. Our financial strength continues to be bolstered by our customer-first focus and our strong recurring revenue model. This, coupled with the positive momentum across our business, only helps reinforce the confidence we have in Hansen and our future outlook. Year in Review The ongoing strength of our performance comes in part from the highly predictable revenues that afford strong business resilience. Yet we don’t take these for granted. While it is challenging for customers to shift and change what many consider to be mission-critical infrastructure, it is a reality we don’t dismiss lightly. This is where the value of our people and their technology and sector knowledge shines through, along with our commitment to continually invest in our Hansen Suite for Energy & Communications. Our aim is to have long-term partnerships with all our customers, and we are delighted that many of these are now in the multi-decade era. This tightness with our customers has enabled us to align closely with our Communications and Media customers around the focus in their worlds on 5G, IoT and Cloud transformations. This has resulted in strong momentum in the upgrades of many clients to the latest version of our Communications and Media modules, including many who have chosen to embrace our SaaS and Cloud-native versions. These customers are quickly realising benefits that are helping take them to the next level in terms of their seamless service delivery and speed to market. Within the Energy & Utilities sector, the focus of our customers varies across the world. In the North American region, our reputation as a strategic leader for customers in the emerging high-value community solar space continues to build. The investment by public and private companies is unprecedented as the demand for, and focus on, renewables to both curb rising living costs and to help address climate change challenges continues at pace. As even more political and consumer pressure is applied to this sustainability space, Hansen is well placed to play a central role and bring these benefits back to shareholders. In Europe, our investment in Meter & Energy and Trade and Insight modules continues to be well received. In the past year, many multi-geography customers have undertaken initial projects with us in one market, and quickly signed on for further projects across multiple markets and multiple modules of our Hansen Suite for Energy & Utilities as the energy customers navigate the implications of the deregulated and highly competitive energy environment. Customer-Centric Lens to Solutions, Development and Investment Cements Long-Term Relationships In the past year, the focus on the customer and their worlds continued to be central to the priorities of the evolving solutions and our investments. Increased competition for our customers from traditional and non-traditional arenas, coupled with the headwinds from political, environmental and consumer landscapes, is challenging them to closely assess their infrastructure environments and their business-critical solutions. Time to market with data, insights and new offerings remains a key competitive lever for all customers, regardless of their sector, and the end experience of consumers (frictionless, fast, unexpected in offerings) is paramount to their ability to compete and retain customers (or win new customers). 5 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 CHAIRPERSON AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER JOINT REPORT CONTINUED To date, none of the opportunities we assessed have met our expectations. That said, we have a rich pipeline that we continue to explore as we seek to build the Hansen family. Strong, Profitable and Cash-Generative Year We are pleased to once again see solid underlying organic growth in the business. When the Telefonica licence revenue for FY21 is adjusted, we have grown from an FY21 base revenue of $286.7 million to $296.5 million in FY22. Financials The Group’s financial performance this year has been solid across all financial metrics. Excluding the recognition of a one-off $21m Telefonica licence fee in FY21, the FY22 result is particularly pleasing and highlights solid organic growth. A$ Million Operating revenue Underlying EBITDA(1),(2),(4) Underlying NPAT(4) Underlying NPATA(1) (3) (4) Basic EPS based on underlying NPATA (EPSa) (cents)(1) FY22 FY21 Variance (%) 296.5 100.3 42.2 58.2 307.7 120.2 56.8 73.1 (4%) (17%) (26%) (20%) 29.0 36.7 (21%) (1) The Directors believe the information additional to IFRS measures included in the report is relevant and useful in measuring the financial performance of the Group. These include: EBITDA, NPATA and EPSa. (2) EBITDA is a non-IFRS term, defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation and excluding net foreign exchange gains (losses). (3) NPATA is a non-IFRS term, defined as net profit after tax, excluding tax- effected amortisation of acquired intangibles. (4) Underlying EBITDA, underlying NPAT and underlying NPATA exclude separately disclosed items, which represent one-off costs and income during the period. Further details of the separately disclosed items are outlined in Note 4 to the Financial Report. The underlying EBITDA margin was 33.8%, slightly down on the previous year (excluding Telefonica). In light of the challenges presented by a global talent shortage and inflationary pressures, the underlying EBITDA margin for the full year is a particularly robust result. This solid financial performance is further underpinned by the Group’s ability to generate cash flow from operations, which was $91.2 million and free cash flow of $63.7 million after adjusting for the repayment of lease liabilities. Hansen’s ability to generate cash in the current environment further underscores the strength it has, enabling it to invest in its products and fund acquisitions. In the past 10-plus years, we have consistently delivered EBITDA margins greater than 25%. And this year, we are proud to report this is no exception. “ AS EVEN MORE POLITICAL AND CONSUMER PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THIS SUSTAINABILITY SPACE, HANSEN IS WELL PLACED TO PLAY A CENTRAL ROLE AND BRING THESE BENEFITS BACK TO SHAREHOLDERS.” We have continued in our conversion to cloud-native technologies and SaaS-based structures to meet the growing demands of our customers. We have also invested significantly in ensuring our modules at least meet, if not exceed, the expectations around being standards-based. This is of particular importance in the Communications and Media sector. Today all modules within our Communications & Media offering have cloud-native and SaaS options, and we are well-progressed in our plans to deliver the same for our modules in the Hansen Suite for Energy and Utilities. This provides our current and future customers with more flexibility as they navigate their own paths for their future-state needs and infrastructure requirements. This focus is proving itself as the right one for Hansen and its shareholders. The predictability of revenue continues as we demonstrate our value as a long-term partner to our customers – yet this is just a component of our overall story. This focus has resulted in marquee customer wins and success as we both demonstrated and helped our customers upgrade and embark on significant customer transformation journeys resulting in an expansion of the Hansen Suite modules to power their core business. Customers share with us time and time again that they come to us (and remain with us) because of the confidence they have in our solutions, and the trust they place in our people to partner with them on often complex and challenging transformation initiatives. Exploration into New Verticals and Growth Arenas Continues The Company is well positioned to make acquisitions, should the right opportunities be presented. Over the past year, the pipeline of opportunities has continued to be robust, yet the Company continues to be very selective around targets that have the potential to continue our history of delivering value- accretive growth through acquisition. In the FY22 year, we explored a number of opportunities and also expanded our investigation into parallel yet complementary verticals where our current expertise and modules might fit and where technology products could benefit our customers in new and different ways. 6 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 1 4 % C A G R : 5 - y e a r 120.2** 85.7 100.3 Outlook Operating Revenue ($m) 5 - y e a r 1 1 % C A G R : 301.4 307.7** 296.5 230.8 231.3 174.7 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Underlying EBITDA* ($m) 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 66.7 63.1 51.0 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 * EBITDA is a non-IFRS term that relates to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation and excluding net foreign exchange gains (losses).

Investing in our Future: Building out the Best People and Culture Environment As Hansen has over 1,500 staff working in over 20 countries globally, there is no doubt that the enforced lockdowns and different ways of working have brought a myriad of challenges to the employment market. At Hansen, we value our people and work with them to understand what they need to do to deliver great outcomes and have rewarding careers with us. These last 12 months have seen us evolve and change a number of our policies to help provide an environment where our people feel connected and engaged and have choice and flexibility as to where they work. We have purposefully not mandated a return to office; rather we have embraced the hybrid way of working as the Hansen Way Forward. We will continue to offer our people connection hubs (increasingly newer and evolved offices in more locations) to come together and work, collaborate and engage. Yet we firmly believe that by taking a more flexible approach we will retain more of our people and open up the opportunities to attract the best talent to our growing business from wherever they chose to live and work from. As we navigate these early days of the new ways of working, we are trialling a range of new initiatives, designed to enhance communication, collaboration and engagement. We are embracing all of our communications channels to bring our people closer together and continue that strong sense of family that has long made Hansen the company it is today. One initiative to highlight is our 50 Acts of Impact, conceived to both mark our 50th year of business and to help bring our people together and give back in local ways to causes and initiatives that matter to them. This has been positively received with individuals, teams and the entire Company getting behind different Acts. We are proud to share that we are well on the way to achieving our 50 Acts by the end of the calendar year. These changes we are making are all part of our long-term strategy to continue to be a positive destination for our people. Like with our customers, we aim to partner with our people for the long term. We are looking forward to enabling more people to experience this aspect of Hansen as we continue to expand. Hansen is confident in our ability to continue to grow and evolve both our product and solution offerings and our customer portfolio. We have a strong talent pool that is a good balance of very senior and experienced professionals, and younger yet highly passionate and talented emerging leaders and professionals. The sectors we currently serve – the Energy & Utilities and the Communications & Media sectors – are two sectors whose essential nature of services helps make them, and us, somewhat recession-proof. Rather it is the pressures they face from emerging competitors, on the political and consumer fronts and the ongoing health and conflict challenges, that necessitate that they must continue to transform at pace.Our tight integration with their business-critical technologies, coupled with our deep vertical and technology expertise, ensures we are well placed to continue strongly in these sectors. While there continue to be ongoing challenges with global inflation, wage pressure and talent acquisition, Hansen has a strong track record of both tightly managing a global cost base and retaining talent. We are well placed for the coming years. As we continue to explore new growth opportunities, we have great confidence in the ability of our solutions to bring value to other sectors and for us to simultaneously gain value from the solutions that complementary sectors draw on and bring these back to our customers. This is a space we will continue to actively explore through the FY23 year. To close, our strong balance sheet, our ability to continue to generate cash, and our steadfast focus on creating and delivering evolved solutions are enabling us to do all we want to do. Importantly, it is culminating in us continuing to deliver value – value to our people, our customers and our shareholders. We are immensely proud of our continued ability to strongly navigate the headwinds that the past two years have presented and we look forward to sharing further updates on our momentum in the coming months. 7 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) REPORT “ DURING FY22, HANSEN STARTED ON OUR JOURNEY TO BECOME CARBON NEUTRAL INITIALLY FOCUSING ON OUR AUSTRALIAN OPERATIONS WHERE THE COMPANY IS HEADQUARTERED.” 8 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 Hansen is a global business that aims to always operate sustainably, make wise business decisions that help support our planet’s future, and support our communities and our people to thrive. CEO Message Since our beginnings more than 50 years ago, Hansen has focused on long-term sustainability and success. We are a global provider of software and services to the energy, water and communications industries. With our award-winning software suite, we help more than 600 customers in over 80 countries to create and deliver new products and services, engage with customers, and control and manage critical revenue management and customer support processes. While Hansen’s operations do not have a material impact on the environment, we acknowledge the science of climate change and are committed to operating in the most sustainable manner possible. For us, sustainability spans not just our environmental footprint and impact, but also how we operate to support and grow our people, our customers and our communities to help deliver more sustainable futures across all key facets. And all of this is underpinned by strong governance. In this, our inaugural report, we have focused on our customers, partners, people and communities and the environment. Governance we have outlined independently on our website. I am proud to share a range of positive initiatives that we already have underway that are impacting our people, customers and communities. These include expanded flexibility opportunities for our talent pool, to our Acts of Impact program and our commitment to hire people wherever they are in the world, reducing the reliance on being solely in major cities. During FY22, Hansen started on our journey to become carbon neutral initially focusing on our Australian operations, where the Company is headquartered. Shortly following the close of the fiscal year, the company announced its investment in a renewable energy project in India, and the Australian operation was certified as carbon neutral by the Climate Active Organisation. We intend to continue to seek continuous improvement, year on year, in the scope of our reporting. I am delighted to share this inaugural report to our stakeholders, and we invite you to join us on our journey. Formalising the Framework for our Sustainability Journey The industries we support and the geographies where our people are located have meant that as a Company, we have always been focused on the broadest definition of sustainability. As this report is our inaugural formal report, it is a baseline that will help formulate the initial stages of our journey into a more structured and measurable framework that will include setting targets and reporting outcomes. In developing this report, we have applied a combination of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) framework for the Software & IT Services industry under the standards for the Technology & Communications sector, and the Global Reporting Institute’s Universal Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards) to analyse Hansen’s current position. The SASB framework is an industry-specific framework and was predominantly applied to assess environmental and social factors in this report. This year Hansen has collected and analysed information for our headquarters in Australia. What we have learned is that Hansen’s main carbon-emitting activities relate to our corporate offices and travel between our offices and those of our customers. We expect, as our processes become more established, to commence reporting on a more global and detailed basis. Our intentions for next year’s report include: • extending the collection of information across more of our global operations; • reviewing all our material sustainability risk areas; and • commencing a review process of the targets in these areas. In terms of our initial initiatives to reduce our social and environmental impacts, we are focusing on: • Ensuring the workspaces we choose to offer for our people should they elect to work from an office: – are energy efficient within the building and facilities; – provide for waste minimisation through recycling (and e-recycling), waste separation and paperless-first policies where practical; – are located close to central public transport options, bicycle, running and walking paths; and – offer quality end-of-trip facilities to encourage less carbon- intensive travel to and from offices. • Embracing technology-first inter-office and client connection and collaboration: – making access to a range of positive and easy-to-use technology a natural part of our hybrid way of working to help minimise unnecessary travel; and – where travel is undertaken, we will always assess the carbon emissions programs of the transportation companies that are options for us. • Enhancing our procurement processes to consider climate impacts in purchasing. Our Environment: Reducing our Impacts and Supporting Future Positive Impacts Long before Hansen took steps to formally map out a framework and metrics for sustainability and an overall approach to ESG, the Company and its people had been operating with an environmental conscience. To help offset carbon emissions produced by the Company, Andrew Hansen has been personally planting around 2,000 trees on his land each year. Our offices have always been selected in locations that are close to public transport hubs. 9 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) REPORT CONTINUED An Early Look at our Environmental Initiatives Hansen’s Hybrid way of Working: Embracing Technology First As the world began to emerge from lockdowns and mandates for people to work from home, Hansen made a conscious decision not to mandate that its people return to offices for the vast majority of its roles. This decision came through a combination of understanding how our people wanted to work into the future, to maintain the lifestyle, balance and wellbeing that not commuting and being in big offices provided them, coupled with considerations around the environmental impact benefits by not demanding our people transport themselves into offices. This reduction of travel to the office extends to a much-reduced expectation of our people to travel between our offices and to our customers. As a Company, we have continued to embrace a technology-first approach to meetings and connections – leveraging the advancements made in video technology to communicate and collaborate. Where we are having people travel, more conscious decisions around the choice of transport providers, accommodation and the like are being made. Evolving our Office Offerings Over the past 12 months it became apparent that the office spaces that we had to accommodate our full complement of people would not be required. We have undertaken an audit to understand what flexibility we have with current leases and where we can move to smaller and more environmentally advanced spaces with conscious considerations to proximity to transport options, walking and cycling pathways and advanced facilities for people. In Australia we have opened a small central office and are in the process of assessing the needs across our Australian operation. Similar work is in train in other locations around the world. As we assess these offices, we are looking at the lighting, the heating and cooling options, and what we can do to reduce our overall impacts with recycling, energy choices of building provider, encouraging our people to print as a last resort, and much more. We aim to align with local and international certifications for environmental and healthy buildings. Assessing our Suppliers A number of our customers still require access to datacentres. As we either move to third parties or review our own, we are looking at how we can support a greener approach to datacentre decisions. For example, selecting the most energy-efficient datacentres, constantly reviewing emerging and new technologies, and helping our customers be more considerate in their business decisions. And by nature of the sectors we support and being in the industry of software development, we are always looking ahead at how our work can support a more sustainable operation and future for our customers and their customers. Taking Steps to Becoming Carbon Neutral At Hansen, we are committed to operating into the longer term globally as a carbon neutral business. We recognise with the complexity of our many operations that this is not an overnight initiative, and that there are many facets to influencing our carbon emissions and how to offset those where we can’t eliminate them fully. With this in mind, we are exploring a phased approach, which commenced in FY22, with the initial focus on our Australian operation. FY21 Australia Carbon Emissions 5,564.42 tCO2-e Total Energy Consumption 19% 18% Renewables Conventional (AU only, FY21) As we are a growing business, this may mean that over time our net carbon emissions don’t reduce significantly, but our FTE emissions do. For transparency we will provide both metrics in future reporting. When the FY22 closed, Hansen was in the process of finalising its carbon neutral status for Australia as disclosed above with Climate Active certification. To complete this, the Company needed to invest in a project that would offset its emissions. As this report went to print, we can confirm we have received this certification for Australia with details of our investments outlined below. As we move forward, we will expand the program to both continue to reduce our emissions and build on investments. 10 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 Carbon Offset Program: Project One – Wind and Hydro in India As Hansen set about exploring options to invest in projects to offset our carbon emissions, the company had some key criteria: • We wanted to focus our efforts in countries where our people live and work from. • We wanted to invest in projects or initiatives that would help our people and customers be able to consume more environmentally friendly energy in the future. For our initial offset projects, Hansen has selected two projects in India where around one quarter of our people live and work from. One is a wind power project in Andhra Pradesh and the other is a hydroelectric project in the Kinnaur District in Himachal Pradesh. Both these projects support local communities reduce their reliance on fossil-fuels and help provide new forms of employment and the wider economic benefits that result. Next Steps While many of these initiatives are in play, formalising this into a framework with plans and metrics is the next step. We will continue to explore how we can leverage the data we have to offer our customers opportunities to further improve our software and solutions that in turn help their customers reduce their impact on the environment. Our Customers, Partners, People and Communities (Social) Our Customers Through the nature of our software and the solutions we develop, we help our customers operate more efficiently and in turn to effectively lessen their demand on global resources. We support them and their journeys in a range of ways from the expert counsel and skills of our people to the thought leadership and next-gen thinking as together we all plan into the future. 11 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) REPORT CONTINUED “ AVERAGE 10+ YEARS CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS; LESS THAN 2% CUSTOMER CHURN” We take pride in our long-term relationships, many of which multi-decade and on average at least 10 years. In the past year we have experienced less than 2% customer loss. Data Privacy and Security We believe using data responsibly is in everyone’s interest including our customers, our advisers, our suppliers, our partners and our people. Our software development practices demand that we embed the highest possible security protection mechanisms in our software, and we have a rigorous testing process to ensure that our security measures are upheld and provide the right protection for our customers and their data into the longer term. With this laser focus on security and data privacy, our customers trust us to use their data with care and respect. Supporting our development process is a robust range of policies that our people comply with, including the Hansen Privacy Policy, Security Policy and Record Retention Policy. Anyone with access to Hansen systems is required to undertake privacy training, to understand what personal data is and what we can all do to help protect it, and is required to pass an assessment on completion of training as a condition of accessing our systems. Our people are required to complete this annually. We did not have any notifications to the regulators of privacy incidents during FY22. Our People Talent Attraction Our talent attraction strategy varies from region to region with one important common thread – we focus on hiring the best person for the position and the business regardless of whether it is a graduate job or an experienced hire. The introduction of our permanent hybrid way of working means that we are no longer restricted to cities and countries, and we openly welcome our people regardless of their proximity to our office hubs to ensure our people and our clients get to benefit from the best possible talent. We are also conscious of our responsibility in helping build the next generation of technology and business leaders. We are proud to share that in the past fiscal year we have welcomed to the Hansen family 60 graduates. They are all on a structured program of development and will help us build our capability while providing valuable experiences to fresh graduates in countries including India and Vietnam. Employee Engagement and Culture We are an organisation that believes that continually seeking to understand our employees’ needs is vital to mutual success – particularly in the wake of COVID-19 and navigating the next normal. We embrace a range of tools to listen and seek input, including our annual engagement survey and various pulse-check surveys, which we run throughout the year. We were pleased to see that our last survey represented a very strong employee voice, with an 82% response rate. Despite the challenges of COVID-19 and other political and economic uncertainties, 70% of our people indicated positive engagement, 83% indicated positive inclusivity sentiment and 80% indicated positive sentiment around wellbeing. “ 70% OF OUR PEOPLE INDICATED POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT, 83% INDICATED POSITIVE INCLUSIVITY SENTIMENT AND 80% INDICATED POSITIVE SENTIMENT AROUND WELLBEING. ” We work hard to bring our people together across our markets and cultures. A core element of this is through storytelling using our internal engagement platforms and external social media. Our people share on their career journeys, how they have overcome challenges and embraced opportunities, we showcase hobbies, pastimes, and family life and help create greater understanding and inclusion by sharing cultural moments. We host around eight CEO townhalls each year hosted by Andrew Hansen. These are an opportunity for our CEO and key leaders to keep connected with our people and ensure regular strategic business updates, and celebrations are appropriately shared, along with a live Q&A and a fireside chat on pertinent strategic focuses. For the majority of the FY22 year, these were conducted virtually, alternating the time zones so that people could join at least two of every three in their business day, and we recorded them for those who couldn’t make the live sessions. Where travel had been possible, our CEO conducted these from an onsite office and broadcasted simultaneously. Globally and locally, we celebrate key cultural events on the calendar. These have continued to run virtually where people have been restricted from gathering in person. And following the return to the potential for them to be in person, we always offer the option of virtual and in-person to people to help continue to build the connection and inclusion regardless of location or working preference. 12 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 Hansen Gender Ratio 31% 69% Female Male Diversity As a business in the high-tech space, we are very pleased to say that our gender ratio is 31% per cent female and 69% per cent male. We have worked very hard to bring this up from a 25:75 ratio and it is a continued focus for us, despite the shortage of female IT talent across the industry. Across our business, we have Hansen employees in more than 20 countries, fluent in more than 60 languages. It is this level of diversity that we believe is a competitive advantage and an asset to our customers. It means we have local people supporting local customers, our people translate effortlessly across cultures and geographies, and our people can connect, collaborate and grow from continually engaging with global colleagues and experts. Learning and Development Providing our people not only with career paths, but also development opportunities is critical to ensuring that not only are they aligned with the business, but that they remain motivated and driven towards innovation. This starts with our comprehensive onboarding program, where we allow all our new family members time to immerse into our business, ‘meet’ our key leaders and get to know the Company and its vision and values along with our products and solutions. For all people we have our annual mandatory trainings and refreshers to ensure everyone remains compliant around data, security, privacy and our Company values. And we have been systematically working with our people managers to ensure our people have individual goals and plans, which identify key learning goals to ensure they keep developing professionally and personally. In addition to our custom-developed trainings, which are often product or technology-specific, such as our digital certifications and badges, all our employees have access to an online learning portal with more than 13,000 courses ranging from IT and technology courses to professional skills and other interest topics. Through FY22, our people undertook and completed more than 8,500 courses across all our learning platforms and opportunities. We firmly believe that learning people are growing people, and that is key to our continued success. Retention and Embracing New Ways of Working As the world has changed over the last two years, we have pivoted our talent model, putting the employee at the centre of how we operate, and how and where they would like to work – individualising the work experience. This year, we announced that we will not be mandating a ‘back-to-office’ policy, but instead inviting our people to attend their local offices (or connection hubs) as and when they feel comfortable. To support this, we have a calendar of events taking place in offices to encourage team connections and we are committed to opening offices in more centralised locations, closer to commuting hubs, with breakout spaces to facilitate easier collaboration. We continue to celebrate globally the milestone anniversaries of our people – in FY22 we had six anniversaries of more than 30 years of service, and many more spanning five, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years. 13 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) REPORT CONTINUED Our people are encouraged to continually recognise their colleagues for initiatives or efforts aligned to our values, and monthly winners are celebrated globally. In supporting our people to live and work from anywhere, often where technology jobs are usually not available, we are helping expand opportunities into new regions and do our small part to support local economies. We are continuing to assess and evolve our benefits and employee value proposition (EVP), to align and reconfigure our support system around wellness and mental health, ensuring that we provide all the support we can to allow people to bring their best selves to work – and live their best lives. Responsible Business As a business we are proud to be guided by our Hansen values. These values are the foundation of how we behave and interact with our colleagues, our customers, suppliers, shareholders and other stakeholders. Together our values reflect the priorities of the business and provide guidance in our decision-making. We have a Code of Conduct that all our people commit to on joining and a range of other interacting policies. Together these align with our values to ensure that we observe the highest standards of fair dealing, honesty and integrity in our business activities. Additionally, we have in place a Modern Slavery Policy to ensure that we, together with our employees and suppliers, respect and promote human rights and contribute towards eradicating modern slavery. We are committed to the continued evolution of this policy and the underlying systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery practices are not taking place anywhere in our operations and supply chains. In FY23 we are looking to include our partners within the scope of our modern slavery program, alongside our current considerations of our people and suppliers. Beyond our values and policies, Hansen is committed to continually exploring how we can evolve the operation of our business, from embracing a more paperless environment, where we source our energy, and what further benefits cloud and technology can help us deliver. This translates into not just what we invest in R&D for our customers and future software solutions, but also into how we can better operate overall as a business across all metrics that make up ESG and overall sustainability. Positively Impacting our Communities As a Company of individuals, many of us are already actively giving back through volunteering and other forms of giving on a personal level. As a Company we have supported Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) for some years. As we marked our 50 years of business, we conceived what we have called our 50 Acts of Impact. This initiative recognises the global diversity of our people, the communities we live in, and the different needs and impacts we can help impact. Acts of Impact was purposefully designed to welcome and encourage our people to make a meaningful, long-lasting and purposeful impact in our local communities and, where practical, to the global society. This is running through the 2022 calendar year. 14 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 “ ACTS OF IMPACT WAS PURPOSEFULLY DESIGNED TO WELCOME AND ENCOURAGE OUR PEOPLE TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL, LONG-LASTING AND PURPOSEFUL IMPACT IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND, WHERE PRACTICAL, TO THE GLOBAL SOCIETY.” To date we have had individuals and teams across the globe contribute Acts of Impact – many inspired by family members’ circumstances or causes they believe strongly in. These range from fundraising for paediatric cancer research, running a half marathon for pancreatic cancer, and raising funds for vulnerable children in India and for the Ukraine. We’ve had people cycling around Spain raising money for medically related charities, the Great Hansen Haircut, a book drive to get books into remote and poor schools and communities in Vietnam, a science day to inspire the next generation of scientists and STEM leaders, collections of blankets and jackets for the homeless, clean-up days in parks and reserves, donations of blood to supplement low blood banks… the list goes on, and with many more still to come. The initiative will culminate with all our Acts being put in a virtual hat, and one Act being drawn out. The people behind this Act get to select a charity or cause where a corporate donation will be made. We anticipate this will take place in late 2022. 15 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMPANY SECRETARY The qualifications, experience and special responsibilities of each person who has been a Director of Hansen Technologies Limited at any time during or since the end of the financial year are provided below, together with details of the Company Secretary as at the year end.

This Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Principal activities The principal activities of the Group during the financial year were the development, integration and support of billing systems software for the Energy and Communications sectors. Other activities undertaken by the Group include IT outsourcing services and the development of other specific software applications. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Review of operations The Group’s operating performance for the fiscal year compared to last year is as follows: Operating revenue Underlying EBITDA(1) Underlying NPAT(2) Underlying NPATA(1) Basic earnings per share (EPS) (cents) Basic EPS based on underlying NPATA (EPSa) (cents)(1) 2022 A$ Million 2021 A$ Million Variance % 296.5 100.3 42.2 58.2 20.9 29.0 307.7 120.2 56.8 73.1 28.8 36.7 (4%) (17%) (26%) (20%) (27%) (21%) (1) The Directors believe the information additional to IFRS measures included in the report is relevant and useful in measuring the financial performance of the Group. These include: EBITDA, NPATA and EPSa. These measures have been defined in the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer’s Joint Report on page 6. (2) Underlying net profit after tax attributable to members excludes separately disclosed items and acquired amortisation (net of tax). Further details of the separately disclosed items are outlined in Note 4 to the Financial Report. In 2022 the business delivered another set of impressive results following on from the successful 2021 year. Further details on the Group’s results are outlined in the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer’s Joint Report on page 4. The Group’s revenue for the financial year was $296.5 million which was a decline versus 2021. However, excluding the impact of the Telefonica one‑off licence revenue recognised in FY21, the organic growth rate for the business was 3.4%. There were several notable new logo wins in the year, with the largest deal in Hansen’s history closed in the financial year. The Group has generated operating cash flows of $91.2 million, which has been used to retire net external debt of $34.0 million, fund our ongoing product development program of $15.6 million and pay dividends of $22.4 million (net of dividend reinvestments). With the Group’s cash generation capabilities, Hansen remains well placed to continue to acquire mature, predictable businesses in the energy and communications sectors. The continued challenges of COVID‑19 were managed with care throughout the business and the introduction of flexible working arrangements were well received by Hansen employees. The Board and Management continue to place great emphasis on the health and safety of all employees. Billing segment The Billing segment represents a major part of the Group’s business operations, delivering $289.0 million of revenue in 2022 (2021: $299.6 million), which translates into a 3.5% decline. Segment profit before tax was $53.6 million in 2022 (2021: $74.5 million), representing a 28.1% decrease. Other activities Segment revenues from other activities was $7.6 million in 2022 (2021: $8.1 million), representing a 6.2% decrease for the year. This 6.2% decrease in revenues resulted from an expected reduction in business activity associated with the Customer Care call centre. Segment profit before tax was $1.7 million for 2022 (2021: $0.9 million), representing an 88.9% increase for the year. Significant changes in the state of affairs There have been no significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs during the financial year. 18 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 Subsequent events No matters have arisen between the end of the financial year and the date of this report that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in future years. Opportunities and business risks The business remains committed to increasing shareholder value while managing the risk profile of the Group. The Energy and Communications markets continue to evolve and with this change comes complexity and opportunity. The Communications vertical is experiencing rapid progress in the roll‑out and adoption of 5G technology. Energy continues to develop new offerings and the continued roll‑out of green energy initiatives. Both verticals continue to develop enhanced digital platforms to deliver a satisfactory customer experience. To ensure we deliver on our strategic objectives, the Group continues to operate an Enterprise Risk Management Framework that actively identifies, controls, plans and mitigates a wide array of risks across functions and geographies and seeks to unlock opportunities to gain a competitive advantage. Risks identified include, but are not limited to, the following: • Security or data incidents: As a technology‑focused business, managing security and protecting customer data are essential. To manage the risk of damaging security incidents, we have appropriate data management, security and compliance policies, procedures and practices in place. • Loss of customers: While loss of customers due to market competition is a risk to the business, we manage this risk by ensuring we are focused on meeting our customers’ expectations for system performance and service delivery and by diversifying our customer base across industry sectors around the world. • Decline in international market conditions: As a business with international operations, we have exposure to currency fluctuations, which we monitor and manage. • Investment opportunities: The Group has an active M&A program. Potential investments may carry execution and integration risks, and this is managed via maintaining a highly experienced M&A team with a proven track record of business integration and value generation. • Employee recruitment and retention: Our people are critical to the Group’s ongoing success. We manage risks to our employee base by focusing on our employee value proposition, offering competitive remuneration and benefits packages tailored to the market in which personnel are based. We manage risks by regularly monitoring our market and global conditions to ensure our control environment and risk treatment plans respond to the risks faced by the business. Outlook and likely developments for FY23 After the continued success of 2022, the Group continues to focus on the strategic pillars that drive shareholder value. These include our global diversification and acquisition strategy and our ongoing investment in product roadmap. We are also expanding our talent pool to deliver on existing and new client requirements. The Board remains confident that the Hansen approach and strategy align with the long‑term goals of both the Company and shareholders. As always, shareholders are kept abreast of any changes to our strategy or financial outlook as each year progresses. Environmental regulations and climate change The Group’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental Commonwealth or state regulations or laws. The Group is aware of the general risks associated with climate change and continues to be committed to operating sustainably. However, the Group’s operations are not significantly impacted by any environmental factors. In FY22, the Group worked towards achieving the status of Carbon Neutral Certified for the operations in Australia by Climate Active. Corporate governance statement Hansen and the Board are committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance. Hansen has reviewed its corporate governance practices against the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th edition) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. A description of the Group’s current corporate governance practices is set out in the Group’s corporate governance statement, which can be viewed at https://hansencx.com/about/investor‑relations. 1919 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUED Dividends paid and declared A final dividend of 5 cents per share has been declared, partially franked to 1.5 cents per share, comprising of a regular dividend of 5 cents per share.

The 2022 financial year has been another particularly strong performance for Hansen. With ongoing global uncertainty, the Hansen team continued to support our customers, win new business and manage costs accordingly. While globally, organisations are experiencing challenges with talent acquisition and retention, it is with great pride that I can confirm our global management team has remained unchanged throughout the year. This is a reflection of both the culture and progressive nature of Hansen, as well as the Executive Remuneration Framework, which incentivises and recognises the efforts of our staff. For the 2022 financial year, I am pleased to advise that all financial targets for the KMP were met. With regards to non‑financial targets, the KMP achieved between 83% and 100% of the objectives. As a result, Short‑Term Incentive (STI) cash‑component payments were awarded to our KMP against financial and non‑financial KPIs set for the year. As we have concluded the 2022 financial year, the LTI program implemented on 2 September 2019 completed its measurement period of three years. I am pleased to report that with the exceptional EPSa CAGR growth of 19.3% and an outperformance for the ranked TSR criteria, both LTI hurdles have been achieved over the measurement period. These measures have qualified for acceleration and will be paid out at 143.50% of the entitlement (refer to Performance outcomes outlined on page 32). The achievement of these long‑term measurement targets has resulted in significant shareholder value. The Board has made the decision in FY23 to continue the STI and LTI schemes without change. The 2023 LTI scheme has two measurement metrics measured over a three‑year period, revenue CAGR growth of 12.5% and relative Total Shareholder Return (ranked TSR). Further information about this incentive scheme is referenced on page 36 of this report. The Board remains committed to the ongoing review of the Group’s remuneration framework to ensure it achieves its objectives of incentivising and rewarding performance that optimises business and shareholder value and ensuring the Company is well placed to attract, retain and motivate a talented executive team. Yours sincerely, David Howell Chair of the Remuneration Committee 23 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED OUR DETAILED REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) The Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 outlines key aspects of our Remuneration Framework and has been prepared and audited in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

During the AGM held on 25 November 2021, shareholders approved an increase to the Non‑Executive Directors’ maximum remuneration payable from $630,000 to $750,000. Non‑Executive Directors are excluded from participation in the Company’s equity incentive plans. (iii) Remuneration strategy, structure and market practice To support the review of the 2022 remuneration framework, the Remuneration Committee has considered inputs from the CEO and the human resources department in relation to the remuneration strategy, structure and market practice. The Committee will supplement this internal advice with external specialist advice from time to time. No remuneration recommendations, as defined by the Corporations Act 2001, were provided during the year. (b) Remuneration structure (FY22 Plan) OBJECTIVE COMPONENT AND FORM ASSESSMENT Attract and retain employees with the skills and experience associated with the role. Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) Cash + non-cash benefits Fixed Market data, individual experience and performance Incentivise and reward achievement of annual performance objectives and business outcomes. Short-Term Incentive Cash Align motivations with shareholder interests and creation of long-term value. Long-Term Incentive Performance rights to shares (3 years) Variable (at-risk) Annual performance based on financial and non-financial targets Continuous employment, relative Total Shareholder Returns and revenue targets (i) Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) TFR typically includes base salary and superannuation contributions and may include, at the discretion of the Board, other benefits such as a motor vehicle (aggregated with associated fringe benefits tax to represent the total employment cost to the Group). TFR is determined with reference to available market data, the scope of an individual’s role and the qualifications and experience of the individual, as well as geographic location. TFR is reviewed annually to account for market movements and individual performance outcomes. See page 39 for a summary of Executive KMP contracts. 2626 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 (ii) FY22 Short‑Term Incentive (STI) plan Objective How is it paid? How much can executives earn? To incentivise and align rewards attainable by Executive KMP with the achievement of specific annual objectives of the Group and the creation of shareholder value. Annual cash entitlement on achievement of specific annual financial and non‑financial KPIs. Target benefit is set at 40% of TFR for the CEO and 25% of TFR for other Executive KMP. These are subject to the following minimum and target performance thresholds: Financial KPIs (70% total STI) 150% 125% 100% 75% 50% 25% 0% % STI Awarded (financial component) (97% to 103% achievement) 100% of financial STI awarded (93% to 97% achievement) 0% to 100% of financial STI awarded on linear bases (0% to 93% achievement) No award (103% to a maximum 110% achievement) 100% to 150% of financial STI awarded on linear bases < 80% 85% 90% 95% 100% 105% 110% 115% >120% Financial KPI Achievement How is performance measured? Non-financial KPIs (30% total STI) Non‑financial KPIs are assessed and awarded up to a maximum of 100% based on specific outcomes. Performance measures (KPIs) selected reflect financial, strategic and operational objectives relevant to the level and function of the role that are central to achievement of delivering the best possible outcome over the next 12 months given the current economic environment. Financial measures selected are measures against which management and the Board assess the short‑term financial performance of the Group. Strategic and operational objectives are assigned to each individual to drive specific outcomes considered to be of strategic importance to the Group within that individual’s level of responsibility. These objectives are determined by the CEO and the Board in accordance with the process set out on page 25. The weightings for each performance measure that comprise the total STI opportunity are set out below: The selection of non-financial KPIs varies depending on each KMP’s roles and responsibilities within the Group. These may include achievement of specific strategic projects that drive the best possible outcome over the next 12 months. Each KMP may have a number of separate non- financial KPIs. Achievement of each individual’s non-financial KPIs is determined by reference to an assigned performance rating determined by the CEO and the Board at the end of the financial year in accordance with the process described on page 25. 30% 70% Financial KPIs (budgeted revenues and EBITDA) Non-financial KPIs Achievement of financial KPIs is determined by reference to the Group’s audited accounts for the measurement period. No payment is made in respect of financial KPIs to any KMP if the target amount is not met for the Group (set at 93% of budgeted revenue and EBITDA). The Board retains final discretion over incentive payments to ensure outcomes appropriately reflect performance and achieve objectives of the executive incentive scheme. 2727 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED What happens if an executive leaves? If an eligible executive ceases employment with the Group during the performance period other than by way of dismissal or resignation (e.g., death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy, retrenchment or retirement with prior written consent of the Board), then the cash entitlements will be awarded on a pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date. Where termination occurs by way of dismissal or resignation prior to the end of the measurement period, the cash component may be paid on a pro‑rata basis. If termination of employment occurs for serious misconduct, all vested and unvested rights will be forfeited and will lapse. Changes from the FY21 Enhanced STI Plan The Board has discontinued the Enhanced STI Plan and has reverted to a remuneration structure to reward the Executive KMP through the STI and LTI plans. For the STI plan, all incentives will be paid in cash upon achievement of specific annual and non‑financial KPIs. KPIs are structured in a way such that the Group will be in the best position for the next financial year, while being mindful of the longer term to ensure the business is optimally placed for future years. (iii) FY22 Long‑Term Incentive (LTI) Plan Objective To align the rewards attainable by Executive KMP with the achievement of particular long‑term objectives of the Group and achievement of increasing shareholder value. Eligibility to participate in the LTI scheme is determined by the Board and is targeted at Senior Executives whose roles contribute significantly to the performance of the Group. How is it paid? LTIs are awarded as performance rights on achievement of certain thresholds reflective of shareholder value delivered. Each performance right entitles the eligible executive to be issued with a share. How much can executives earn? Performance rights are subject to the service and performance conditions. The target LTI benefit is set as follows: • CEO LTI: 50% of TFR delivered as performance rights subject to vesting conditions; and • KMP LTI: 25% of TFR delivered as performance rights subject to vesting conditions. The number of performance rights issued is based on each executive’s target LTI benefit divided by the market value of the rights. The market value of rights granted is based on the volume‑weighted average price of the Company’s shares during the five‑day period before grant date. LTI benefits of up to 150% of target LTI are payable where performance criteria are exceeded. 2828 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 How is performance measured? Vesting of the LTI awards is subject to the following criteria: 1. Three years of continuous employment with the Group from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024. 2. Achievement of the thresholds over the same three‑year period as set out below: Relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) 50% The percentage change in a company’s share price, plus the effect of any dividends paid, over the measurement period, relative on a ranked percentile basis to a comparative group (S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index). Relative TSR is a measure widely understood and accepted by shareholders, as it directly measures shareholder value creation. 50% Revenue Relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) Revenue Based on the achievement of a compounded annual growth rate of 12.5% of revenue over the measurement period. Revenue growth is selected as it is considered a relevant indicator linking financial performance with shareholder value. The proportion of rights that may vest based on relative TSR performance is determined based on the following vesting schedule: Relative TSR Performance Percentage of Performance Rights That Will Vest < 50th percentile None Between 50th to 75th percentile 100% to 150% on a linear basis > 75th percentile 150% The proportion of rights that may vest based on revenue CAGR is determined based on the following vesting schedule: Percentage Achievement Against 12.5% Revenue CAGR Percentage of Performance Rights That Will Vest < 93% > 93% < 97% > 97% < 103% >103% <110% None 0% to 100% on a linear basis 100% 100% to 150% on a linear basis The Board has discretion to change the amount awarded if the Board considers the outcome to be misaligned given the circumstances that prevailed over the relevant measurement period and the experience of shareholders. Performance rights will be forfeited if performance and market conditions are not met. What happens if an executive leaves? If an eligible executive ceases employment with the Group during the performance period other than by way of dismissal or resignation (e.g., death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy, retrenchment or retirement with prior written consent of the Board), then the unvested performance rights will vest on a pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date. Where termination occurs by way of dismissal or resignation prior to the vesting of the performance rights, unvested rights may vest on a pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date at the Board’s discretion. If termination of employment occurs for serious misconduct, all vested and unvested rights will be forfeited and will lapse. Changes from FY21 Enhanced STI Plan The Board has discontinued the enhanced STI Plan and has reverted to a remuneration structure to reward the Executive KMP through STI and LTI plans. For the LTI Plan, all incentives will be paid through equity in the form of performance rights, which will vest and will convert to shares on achievement of thresholds reflective of shareholder value delivered. Previously, one of the financial measurement criteria was EPSa growth. The FY22 LTI scheme removes this measurement and introduces a new revenue measurement criteria based on a revenue CAGR of 12.5% metric over the measurement period. 2929 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED 3.

To incentivise and align rewards attainable by Executive KMP with the achievement of specific annual objectives of the Group and the creation of shareholder value. Annual cash entitlement on achievement of specific annual financial and non‑financial KPIs. Target benefit is set at 40% of TFR for the CEO and 25% of TFR for other Executive KMP. These are subject to the following minimum and target performance thresholds: % STI Awarded (financial component) (97% to 103% achievement) 100% of financial STI awarded (93% to 97% achievement) 0% to 100% of financial STI awarded on linear bases (0% to 93% achievement) No award (103% to a maximum 110% achievement) 100% to 150% of financial STI awarded on linear bases Financial KPIs (70% total STI) 150% 125% 100% 75% 50% 25% 0% < 80% 85% 90% 95% 100% 105% 110% 115% >120% Financial KPI Achievement Non-financial KPIs (30% total STI) Non‑financial KPIs are assessed and awarded up to a maximum of 100% based on specific outcomes. 3636 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 How is performance measured? Performance measures (KPIs) selected reflect financial, strategic and operational objectives relevant to the level and function of the role that are central to achievement of delivering the best possible outcome over the next 12 months given the current economic environment. Financial measures selected are measures against which management and the Board assess the short‑term financial performance of the Group. Strategic and operational objectives are assigned to each individual to drive specific outcomes considered to be of strategic importance to the Group within that individual’s level of responsibility. These objectives are determined by the CEO and the Board in accordance with the process set out on page 25. The weightings for each performance measure that comprise the total STI opportunity are set out below: The selection of non-financial KPIs varies depending on each KMP’s roles and responsibilities within the Group. These may include achievement of specific strategic projects that drive the best possible outcome over the next 12 months. Each KMP may have a number of separate non- financial KPIs. Achievement of each individual’s non-financial KPIs is determined by reference to an assigned performance rating determined by the CEO and the Board at the end of the financial year in accordance with the process described on page 25. 30% 70% Financial KPIs (budgeted revenues and EBITDA) Non-financial KPIs Achievement of financial KPIs is determined by reference to the Group’s audited accounts for the measurement period. No payment is made in respect of financial KPIs to any KMP if the target amount is not met for the Group (set at 93% of budgeted revenue and EBITDA). What happens if an executive leaves? The Board retains final discretion over incentive payments to ensure outcomes appropriately reflect performance and achieve objectives of the executive incentive scheme. If an eligible executive ceases employment with the Group during the performance period other than by way of dismissal or resignation (e.g., death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy, retrenchment or retirement with prior written consent of the Board), then the cash entitlements will be awarded on a pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date. Where termination occurs by way of dismissal or resignation prior to the end of the measurement period, the cash component may be paid on a pro‑rata basis. If termination of employment occurs for serious misconduct, all vested and unvested rights will be forfeited and will lapse. Changes from the FY22 STI plan There have been no changes from the FY22 STI plan. (b) Long‑Term Incentive Plan Objective To align the rewards attainable by Executive KMP with the achievement of particular long‑term objectives of the Group and achievement of increasing shareholder value. Eligibility to participate in the LTI scheme is determined by the Board and is targeted at Senior Executives whose role contributes significantly to the performance of the Group. How is it paid? LTIs are awarded as performance rights on achievement of certain thresholds reflective of shareholder value delivered. Each performance right entitles the eligible executive to be issued with a share. How much can executives earn? Performance rights are subject to the service and performance conditions. The target LTI benefit is set as follows: • CEO LTI: 50% of TFR delivered as performance rights subject to vesting conditions; and • KMP LTI: 25% of TFR delivered as performance rights subject to vesting conditions. The number of performance rights issued is based on each Executive’s target LTI benefit divided by the market value of the rights. The market value of rights granted is based on the volume‑weighted average price of the Company’s shares during the five‑day period before grant date. LTI benefits of up to 150% of target LTI are payable where performance criteria are exceeded. 3737 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED How is performance measured? Vesting of the LTI awards is subject to the following criteria: 1. Three years of continuous employment with the Group from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025. 2. Achievement of the thresholds over the same three‑year period as set out below: Relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) 50% The percentage change in a company’s share price, plus the effect of any dividends paid, over the measurement period, relative on a ranked percentile basis to a comparative group (S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index). Relative TSR is a measure widely understood and accepted by shareholders, as it directly measures shareholder value creation. 50% Revenue Relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) Revenue Based on the achievement of a compounded annual growth rate of 12.5% of revenue over the measurement period. Revenue growth is selected as it is considered a relevant indicator linking financial performance with shareholder value. The proportion of rights that may vest based on relative TSR performance is determined based on the following vesting schedule: Relative TSR Performance Percentage of Performance Rights That Will Vest < 50th percentile None Between 50th to 75th percentile 100% to 150% on a linear basis > 75th percentile 150% The proportion of rights that may vest based on revenue CAGR is determined based on the following vesting schedule: Percentage Achievement Against 12.5% Revenue CAGR Percentage of Performance Rights That Will Vest < 93% > 93% < 97% > 97% < 103% >103% <110% None 0% to 100% on a linear basis 100% 100% to 150% on a linear basis The Board has discretion to change the amount awarded if the Board considers the outcome to be misaligned given the circumstances that prevailed over the relevant measurement period and the experience of shareholders. Performance rights will be forfeited if performance and market conditions are not met. What happens if an executive leaves? If an eligible executive ceases employment with the Group during the performance period other than by way of dismissal or resignation (e.g., death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy, retrenchment or retirement with prior written consent of the Board), then the unvested performance rights will vest on a pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date. Where termination occurs by way of dismissal or resignation prior to the vesting of the performance rights, unvested rights may vest on a pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date at the Board’s discretion. If termination of employment occurs for serious misconduct, all vested and unvested rights will be forfeited and will lapse. Changes from the FY22 LTI Plan There have been no changes from the FY22 LTI Plan. 3838 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 6. Contractual arrangements with Executive KMP Remuneration and other conditions of employment are set out in each executive’s employment contract. The key elements of these employment contracts are summarised below: Component Approach for CEO Total fixed remuneration Contract duration Notice by individual/company Termination of employment (without cause) $928,557 Ongoing 6 months Approach for Other Executive KMP Range between $436,000 and $472,000 Ongoing 1 month The Board has discretion to allow some or all STI entitlements to be paid out on a pro‑rata basis aligned to time, where termination occurs by way of resignation or dismissal (e.g., death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy, retrenchment or retirement with prior written consent of the Board). In other forms of without cause terminations, the STI will be reduced proportionately to reflect the portion of the measurement period, but there is no other impact to the executive’s entitlement. The Board has discretion to allow unvested LTIs to vest on a pro‑rata basis aligned to time. Where this discretion is not exercised, such unvested rights will lapse. Termination of employment (with cause) STI is forfeited. All unvested LTIs are forfeited. All vested but unexercised LTIs are forfeited. 7. Remuneration details: Non-Executive KMP Non‑Executive Directors enter into service agreements through a letter of appointment. Non‑Executive Director fees are determined with reference to market levels and the need to attract high‑quality Directors.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 SECTION A: BASIS OF PREPARATION This section describes the basis in which the Group’s financial statements are prepared. Specific accounting policies are described in the note to which they relate. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. 1. Basis of preparation (a) Basis of preparation of the Financial Report This Financial Report is a general purpose Financial Report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Financial Report covers the Group, being Hansen Technologies Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities as a consolidated entity. The Company is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is 2 Frederick St, Doncaster, Victoria 3108 Australia. The Company is a for‑profit entity for the purposes of preparing the Group’s financial statements. This Financial Report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 24 August 2022. The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been presented in a streamlined manner to simplify the information disclosed and to make it more relevant for users. Similar notes have been grouped into sections with relevant accounting policies, judgements and estimate disclosures incorporated within the notes to which they relate. Compliance with IFRS The Group’s consolidated financial statements comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Historical cost convention The Financial Report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain classes of assets and liabilities as described in the accounting policies. Significant accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of the Financial Report requires the use of certain estimates and judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies. The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions concerning the future, which, by definition, will seldom represent actual results. Estimates and assumptions based on future events have a significant inherent risk and where future events are not as anticipated, there could be a material impact on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities discussed in each of the affected notes. Those estimates and judgements significant to the Financial Report are disclosed in the following notes: Significant Accounting Estimate and Judgement Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables Capitalisation of research and development costs Impairment of goodwill Impairment of non‑financial assets other than goodwill Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Group as a lessee Estimating the incremental borrowing rate Share‑based payments Note Page Reference 9 12 12 12 13 13 17 66 70 71 71 75 75 82 49 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED (b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated Group, comprising the financial statements of the parent Company, and of all entities that the parent controls. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All inter‑company balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date that control is established. (c) Comparatives Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. (d) Rounding amounts The parent Company and the consolidated Group have applied the relief available under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and, accordingly, the amounts in the consolidated financial statements and in the Directors’ Report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases to the nearest dollar. (e) Going concern The Financial Report has been prepared on a going concern basis. 5050 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 SECTION B: PERFORMANCE This section explains the operating results of the Group for the year and provides insights into the Group’s results, including results by operating segment, separately disclosed items during the year that affected the Group’s results, components of income and expenses, income tax and earnings per share. 2. Segment information (a) Description of segments Management has determined the Group’s operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the CEO (the Chief Operating Decision Maker). The operating segments are identified based on the types of services provided to the Group’s customers and the type of customer the services are provided to. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly basis. Where operating segments meet the aggregation criteria, these are aggregated into reported segments. Operating segments are aggregated based on similar products and services provided to the same type of customers using the same distribution method. Segment profits, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Inter‑segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis and is eliminated on consolidation. There are no significant transactions between segments. The Group has identified only one reportable segment as described in the table below. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the below reportable operating segment. The ‘other’ category includes business units that do not qualify as an operating segment, as well as the operating segments that do not meet the disclosure requirements of a reportable segment, including IT Outsourcing and Customer Care services.

They include amounts recognised as unearned revenue and amounts that are contracted but not yet billed or performed. The transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as at 30 June 2022 is $103,377,000 (2021: $104,010,000). This amount mostly comprises obligations in our long‑term contracts to provide software or “software‑as‑a‑service” (SaaS), support and maintenance, and open long‑term professional services contracts as well as licences contracted but not yet earned as the licence has not yet been deployed. A portion of this amount is expected to be recognised as revenue beyond the next 12 months following the respective consolidated statement of financial position date. This estimation is judgemental, as it needs to consider estimates of possible future contract modifications. The amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations, and changes in this amount over time, are impacted by, among others, currency fluctuations and the remaining contract period of our billing solution agreements (which, in some cases, are contracted until five years after the consolidated statement of financial position date). (ii) Contract balances Asset: Accrued revenue Liability: Unearned revenue (current) Liability: Unearned revenue (non‑current) 2022 $’000 21,657 36,821 4,030 2021 $’000 24,303 35,108 53 Accrued revenue mainly relates to software licences deployed on contract inception but which have yet to be billed to the customer. Revenue recognised in the current financial year that was included in unearned revenue at the beginning of the current financial year was $31,639,000 (2021: $24,370,000), representing support and maintenance, professional services, software and SaaS delivered during the financial year. (b) Government grants Included in “Other income” during the financial year is $280,000 (2021: $493,000) of government grants received to compensate for eligible employee expenditure related to research activities performed in Norway and in the United Kingdom. In the previous financial year, separately, a total amount of $516,000 related to government subsidies was received in Canada. There was no such amount received in the current financial year. There were no unfulfilled conditions or contingencies attached to these grants. 5555 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED Significant accounting policies Revenue The Group derives revenues from customer contracts associated with the provision of billing solutions. A typical contract may include various deliverables in consideration for fees. Such deliverables in our contracts include, but are not limited to, the provision of a software licence, support, and maintenance services, as well as professional implementation and customisation services. The nature of fee structures within the contracts varies by customer. The timing and frequency of invoicing depends on the terms and conditions of each contract. Invoices are billed to the customer either in advance or in arrears on normal commercial terms. Where the contract requires invoicing in advance, revenue is initially deferred as unearned revenue until the Group fulfils its performance obligations. Where the contract requires invoicing in arrears, revenue recognised on fulfilment of a performance obligation is brought to account as accrued revenue, until the Group’s right to consideration becomes unconditional and the accrued revenue is then presented as a receivable. The Group’s accounting policies with respect to each of the individual deliverables in the Group’s customer contracts are outlined in sub‑sections (i) onwards. (i) Licence, support and maintenance revenue The Group’s contracts for billing solutions regularly include software licences associated with the relevant billing solution provided to the customer. The nature of the licence varies by customer and billing solution. As part of the licence agreement, various support and maintenance services are available to support the customer’s use of the billing solution. This includes the provision of various bug fixes, updates and helpdesk support. Generally, the provision of the software licence is a distinct performance obligation. However, where there are associated implementation, customisation or other professional services in the contract that significantly modify, customise or are highly interrelated with the licence, the software licence and implementation services are combined into a single performance obligation. The determination of whether the licence should be combined with the services is a matter of judgement, depending on the nature of the implementation of the services provided and the licence specifications in the customer contract. How the licence performance obligation is fulfilled depends on the nature of the licence and how the Group provides the licence to the customer, irrespective of whether the licence is provided in perpetuity or for a specified contractual term: • Where the licence is installed and delivered on customer premises, the customer can derive substantial benefits from the licence on its own. Therefore, the performance obligation is fulfilled (and revenue recognised) at the point in time the licence goes live, typically when customer acceptance has been obtained and the licence meets the agreed‑upon specifications. • Where the licence is hosted by the Group (for example, in some of our SaaS applications), the customer is dependent on our continual hosting of the licence platform in order to derive and receive substantial benefits from the licence. Therefore, the performance obligation is fulfilled (and revenue recognised) over time, which is typically evenly over the contracted period in which access to the licence is made available to the customer. Licence fees in some pay‑TV and telecommunications contracts are dependent on the subsequent usage of the licence by the customer, which is determined by customer‑defined metrics such as subscriber counts or end‑user numbers. For these contracts, the Group uses the sales/usage‑based royalty exception and recognises revenue when the subsequent usage is known, which is typically at the end of each billing period. Support and maintenance services are generally considered a distinct single performance obligation, separately identifiable to the software licence, as all the individual activities that comprise of support and maintenance are highly interrelated with each other. Revenue related to the provision of support and maintenance is recognised evenly over the contracted term in which the customer is entitled to receive support and maintenance. (ii) Services revenue The Group provides various configuration, implementation, customisation and other professional services that the customer is contracted to receive. This may be a part of the overall billing solution, or discrete projects separately agreed with the customer. The various individual activities that form the professional services provided to the customer are highly interrelated with each other and therefore are treated as a single performance obligation. Revenue from these professional services is recognised over time by reference to the stage of completion of the contracts. Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract, and by reference to any contracted milestones achieved, such as customer acceptance of the final specification. As described above in “Licence, support and maintenance revenue,” certain professional services might be combined with the provision of the software licence depending on the nature of the licence and the professional services provided. 5656 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 (iii) Hardware/software sales revenue Some of the Group’s subsidiaries on‑sell certain third‑party hardware and software products. Revenue is recognised when control over the hardware/software has transferred to the customer. Determination of when control has passed depends on whether the customer has legal title over the products, whether the customer has obtained possession of the products or whether the Group has present right to payment. The Group is considered principal in the sales transaction as the Group has procured the products from its various vendors and the Group bears the risk and responsibility for selling those products to the customer. (iv) Other revenue Other revenue consists of reimbursed expenses incurred for servicing the customer contract. Revenue is recognised when the Group has legal enforceability under the contract to have the relevant expenses reimbursed from the customer. (v) Financing components The Group does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer represents a material financing component. Therefore, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money. (vi) Presentation and disclosure In Note 2(b)(ii) of the financial statements, the Group has disaggregated revenue recognised from contracts with customers into the following categories: • the types of goods and services we provide our customers in our contracts; • the primary market vertical that our customers operate in. ‘Energy’ includes our electricity, gas and water customers, while ‘Communications’ includes our telecommunications and pay‑TV customers; and • the key geographic regions where our customers are located, which is consistent with the geographic segments identified for our segment reporting. We believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. AASB 15 uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract liability’. To maintain consistency in presentation with prior periods, the Group has retained the use of ‘accrued revenue’ and ‘unearned revenue’, respectively. In disclosing the amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations, the Group has elected to use the practical expedient available in AASB 15 and disclose only the amounts allocated to performance obligations for contracts with original expected duration of more than one year and for contracts where the Group’s right to consideration from a customer does not correspond directly with the value to the customer of the Group’s performance completed to date. Interest income Interest income is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis, taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Sales tax (including GST and VAT) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax, except where the amount of sales tax incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances, the sales tax is recognised as part of the acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of financial position are shown inclusive of sales tax. The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. Cash flows are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the sales tax component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. Government grants Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government grants received for which there are no future related costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income immediately. 5757 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 4. Separately disclosed items The Group has disclosed underlying EBITDA and underlying profit after tax, referring to the Group’s trading results, adjusted for certain transactions during the year that are not representative of the Group’s regular business activities. The Group considers that these transactions are of such significance to understanding the ongoing results of the Group that the Group has elected to separately identify these transactions to determine an ongoing result to enable a “like‑for‑like” comparison. These items are described as “separately disclosed items” throughout this Financial Report. Increase to profit before tax Non‑recurring income Gain on final settlement of an acquisition – 1,162 Note 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 Decrease to profit before tax Non‑recurring expenses Other one‑off costs Total separately disclosed items 2(b)(iii) (306) (306) (2,040) (878) Non‑recurring income The Group has not recognised any non‑recurring income for the financial year ended 30 June 2022. In the previous financial year, the Group recognised a gain on final settlement of the most recent acquisition and was presented within ‘Other income’ in the Group’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Non‑recurring expenses For the financial year ended 30 June 2022, the Group recognised professional fees of $306,000 in relation to the non‑binding conditional proposal from BGH Capital Pty Ltd (BGH Capital) to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares in Hansen by way of a Scheme of Arrangement. The proposal was withdrawn by BGH Capital on 6 September 2021. These costs have been included within the ‘Professional expenses’ account in the Group’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income. In the previous financial year, the Group has separately identified expenses recognised in relation to deferred remuneration for former employees of $2,040,000 of the company acquired in 2019.

The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax balances Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates when the assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities settled. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Tax consolidation The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions in which it has foreign operations. In some of these jurisdictions, namely Australia and the United States, the immediate parent entity and entities it controls have formed local income tax consolidated groups that are taxed as a single entity in their relevant jurisdiction. The head entity of the Australian tax consolidated group is Hansen Technologies Limited. Each tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding agreement whereby each entity in the tax consolidated group recognises the assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues in relation to its own transactions, events and balances only. This means that: • the parent entity recognises all current and deferred tax amounts relating to its own transactions, events and balances only; • the subsidiaries recognise current or deferred tax amounts arising in respect of their own transactions, events and balances; and • the current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising in respect of tax losses are transferred from the subsidiary to the head entity as inter‑company payables or receivables. Each tax consolidated group also has a tax sharing agreement in place to limit the liability of subsidiaries in the tax consolidated group arising under the joint and several liability requirements of the tax consolidation system, in the event of default by the parent entity to meet its payment obligations. This means that under the tax sharing agreement, the subsidiaries are legally liable to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group. 6262 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 7.

These relate to a number of unrelated customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The ageing analysis of the trade receivables is as follows: Trade Receivables Ageing Analysis at 30 June: Not past due Past due 1– 30 days Past due 31– 60 days Past due more than 61 days Total Gross 2022 $’000 37,160 11,748 4,179 3,447 56,534 Provided 2022 $’000 – – – (921) (921) Gross 2021 $’000 60,012 5,275 2,524 8,131 75,942 Provided 2021 $’000 – – – (1,457) (1,457) The sundry receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these receivables, it is expected that these amounts will be received when due, and thus no provision for impairment has been recorded. The Group does not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables.

The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less a provision for expected credit loss. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement between 30 and 60 days. The Group recognises a provision for impairment by calculating lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs). In determining the appropriate amount of lifetime ECLs, the Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward‑looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. Expected credit losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within “Other expenses” account. When a trade receivable for which a provision for expected credit loss had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. 6565 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED Critical accounting estimate and judgement Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns (i.e. by geography, product type, customer type and rating, and coverage by letters of credit and other forms of credit insurance). The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward‑looking information. For instance, if forecast economic conditions (i.e., gross domestic product) are expected to deteriorate over the next year, which can lead to an increased number of defaults in the energy sector, the historical default rates are adjusted. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward‑looking estimates are analysed. The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer’ actual default in the future. As with the previous financial year, the Group has considered the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic on the amount of ECLs and has determined from its assessment that there has been no significant change to the recovery of the customers’ debts. 10.

Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of: (a) the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the fair value of the non‑controlling interests and the acquisition date fair value of the acquirers previously held equity interest; over (b) the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Technology and other intangibles Other intangibles consist of trademarks, brand names, customer relationships and non‑compete clauses. Technology and other intangibles are recognised at cost and are amortised over their estimated useful lives, which is generally the term of the contract for customer contracts and five to 10 years for technology and other intangibles. Technology and other intangibles are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Research and development Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised when the entity can demonstrate all of the following: the technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the intention to complete the asset and use or sell it; the ability to use or sell the asset; how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits; the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset; and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development. Capitalised development expenditure is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using a straight‑line method to allocate the cost of the intangible asset over its estimated useful life, which is generally five years. Amortisation commences when the intangible asset is available for use. Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense when incurred. Impairment of non‑financial assets Assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised but are tested at least annually for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. Assets subject to annual depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. 6969 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED Critical accounting estimate and judgement Capitalisation of research and development costs Development costs incurred are assessed for each research and development project and a percentage of the expenditure is capitalised when technical feasibility studies demonstrate that the project will deliver future economic benefits and those benefits can be measured reliably. There has been an investment in research and development expenditure incurred in relation to the various billing software platforms in the 2022 financial year. Returns are expected to be derived from this investment over the coming year(s). The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each financial year end. The estimation of useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience and expected product lifecycle, which could change significantly as a result of technological innovation. (a) Impairment test for goodwill For impairment testing, the Group views that its past business combinations giving rise to goodwill on acquisition relate to synergistic opportunities for its billing solutions. Therefore, goodwill is allocated entirely to the Billing CGU, which is also an operating and reportable segment. The recoverable amount of the Billing CGU has been determined based on a value‑in‑use calculation using cash flow projections over a five‑year period. Cash flows beyond the five‑year forecast period are extrapolated using the estimated terminal growth rates. Key assumptions used for value‑in‑use calculations The key assumptions for the Billing CGU supporting the disclosed recoverable value are as follows: • EBITDA for the first year based on financial budgets approved by senior management; • beyond the first year, profit before tax annual growth rate of 1.5% (2021: 1.5%); • a post‑tax discount rate of 8.2% (2021: 6.1%); and • terminal growth rate of 1.5% (2021: 1.5%) at the end of the forecast period. Both the EBITDA growth rate beyond FY22 and the terminal growth rate ranges are derived from management’s best estimate of revenue and operating expenditure growth, taking into account changes in the industry, customer market prospects, future product developments and technological innovation. Profit before income tax expense is then adjusted for amounts related to tax. The discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risks specific to the CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money coupled with other risks factors. It is based on the Group’s weighted average cost of capital. Results of impairment testing and sensitivity to changes in assumptions The recoverable amount of the CGU remains more than adequately greater than the carrying value of the CGU even after a 2.1% increase in the post‑tax discount rate when compared to the prior year. The following table sets out key parameters that need to change for there to be no headroom available when comparing the calculation of the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU against the carrying value of the CGU at 30 June 2022. Change Required for Carrying Amount to Equal Recoverable Amount Discount rate increase Budgeted EBITDA growth rate decline 2022 4.1% (24.0%) 7070 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 Critical accounting estimates and judgements Impairment of goodwill The Group tests whether goodwill has been impaired on an annual basis. Management judgement is applied to identify the cash generating units (CGU). The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value‑in‑use calculations, which require the use of assumptions and discounting of future cash flows. These assumptions are based on best estimates at the time of performing the valuation. Cash flow projections do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU being tested. Goodwill is monitored by management at the level of operating segments identified in Note 2. Impairment of non‑financial assets other than goodwill All assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating whether indicators of impairment exist in relation to the continued use of the asset by the consolidated entity. Impairment triggers include declining product, technology changes, adverse changes in the economic or political environment or future product expectations. If an indicator of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. 13.

The Group has identified the following classes of right‑of‑use (“ROU”) assets: properties, vehicles, office and IT equipment. The largest class of asset recognised is the Group’s property leases, consisting of office buildings, as well as rental apartments for its employees undertaking short‑term assignments overseas. Leases of properties generally have lease terms between six months and five years, while leases of office equipment, vehicles and IT equipment generally have terms between one and three years. The Group usually has rights to renew the lease arrangements that are reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore may have long effective lease terms. The rental payments associated with each lease varies according to the amount of space rented and the location of the lease. However, in most cases the amount of rental payments is indexed annually in line with the relevant national consumer pricing index. 7171 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED Reconciliation of the carrying amounts of ROU assets at the beginning and end of the current financial year by class of asset is shown below: Cost Balance as at 1 July 2021 Additions Re‑measurement Disposals Exchange differences from foreign operations Balance as at 30 June 2022 Accumulated depreciation Balance as at 1 July 2021 Depreciation charge Disposals Exchange differences from foreign operations Balance as at 30 June 2022 Net book value as at 30 June 2022 Cost Balance as at 1 July 2020 Additions Re‑measurement Make good provision Disposals Exchange differences from foreign operations Balance as at 30 June 2021 Accumulated depreciation Balance as at 1 July 2020 Depreciation charge Disposals Exchange differences from foreign operations Balance as at 30 June 2021 Net book value as at 30 June 2021 Note 13(b) 13(b) 5, 13(c) Note 13(b) 13(b) 5, 13(c) ROU Properties $’000 ROU Office Equipment $’000 ROU Vehicles $’000 ROU IT Equipment $’000 26,994 2,388 82 (1,601) 462 28,325 (10,958) (5,995) 1,601 (80) (15,432) 12,893 138 35 – (96) 4 81 (64) (35) 71 – (28) 53 88 – – – – 88 (41) (24) – (1) (66) 22 – – – – – – – – – – – – ROU Properties $’000 ROU Office Equipment $’000 ROU Vehicles $’000 ROU IT Equipment $’000 26,197 4,968 (2,877) 457 (1,364) (387) 26,994 (6,338) (6,056) 1,364 72 (10,958) 16,036 114 28 – – (4) – 138 (38) (30) 4 – (64) 74 195 – (65) – (36) (6) 88 (45) (32) 36 – (41) 47 3 – – – (3) – – (1) (2) 3 – – – Total $’000 27,220 2,423 82 (1,697) 466 28,494 (11,063) (6,054) 1,672 (81) (15,526) 12,968 Total $’000 26,509 4,996 (2,942) 457 (1,407) (393) 27,220 (6,422) (6,120) 1,407 72 (11,063) 16,157 In the financial year ended 30 June 2022, the cost of variable lease payments amounted to $4,000 (2021: $3,000).

Out of the $6,850,000 (2021: $7,041,000) cash outflows, $5,996,000 (2021: $6,130,000) relates to cash outflows from investing activities (principal payments), while the remaining balance relates to cash outflows from operating activities (finance costs on lease liabilities). The Group also had non‑cash additions of ROU assets of $2,423,000 (2021: $5,453,000) and lease liabilities of $2,423,000 (2021: $4,996,000) during the financial year.

Control over the use of an identified asset exists when the arrangement involves the use of an identified asset, when the Group obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset, and when the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The lease term is first determined with reference to the non‑cancellable period of the lease contract, adjusted for any periods covered by options to extend the lease and/or to early terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the options. Judgement is applied by the Group in determining whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the options. Lease liabilities are initially recognised and measured based on the total value of fixed and variable contractual lease payments over the lease term, including payments to extend or terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend or terminate the lease, respectively. The lease payments are discounted to present value based on the incremental borrowing rate implicit in the lease. Lease payments on properties exclude service fees for maintenance, cleaning and other costs as these costs are separated as non‑lease components. However, the Group has elected not to separate lease and non‑lease components for leases of vehicles, office and IT equipment. Leased assets are capitalised at the commencement date of the lease and comprise the initial lease liability amount, initial direct costs incurred when entering the lease, less any lease incentives received. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight‑line basis over the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right‑of‑use asset or the end of the lease term, as follows: • ROU properties • ROU office equipment • ROU vehicles • ROU IT equipment Estimated useful lives of right‑of‑use assets are determined on the same basis as those of plant, equipment and leasehold improvements. The right‑of‑use asset is also periodically assessed for impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The Group does not apply the practical expedients for short‑term leases and leases for which the assets are of low value. Presentation and disclosure Depreciation on right‑of‑use assets is included as part of “Depreciation expense” account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and interest expense on lease liabilities is included as part of “Finance costs on lease liabilities” account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Right‑of‑use assets are disclosed separately on the consolidated statement of financial position, with Note 13(a) disaggregating the lease assets by class of asset. Lease liabilities are presented as current and non‑current in the consolidated statement of financial position depending on the timing of the settlement of contractual cash outflows. The repayment of the principal portion of lease payments is presented as part of financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows, and the interest portion is presented as part of operating activities. 7474 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 Critical accounting estimate and judgement Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Group as a lessee The Group determines the lease term as the non‑cancellable term of the lease together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g. construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset). Estimating the incremental borrowing rate The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right‑of‑use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for example, when leases are not in the subsidiary’s functional currency). The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity‑specific estimates (such as the subsidiary’s stand‑alone credit rating). 14.

Employee Benefits Liability Employee benefits liability represents amounts provided for annual leave and long service leave. The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. These amounts are presented as current liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement. The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months: Current leave obligations expected to be settled after 12 months 2022 $’000 1,473 2021 $’000 1,765 In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long service leave being taken is based on historical data.

In relation to the Executive KMP’s rights that have yet to vest, the Board of Directors has exercised its discretionary power under the Employee Performance Rights Plan and allowed these rights to be retained, and to vest on his effective termination date. Detailed remuneration disclosures are provided in the Remuneration Report on pages 23 to 42. 7777 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED Significant accounting policies Short‑term employee benefit obligations Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts based on remuneration rates that are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The expected cost of short‑term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual leave and long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short‑term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. Other long‑term employee benefit obligations The provision for other long‑term employee benefits, including obligations for long service leave and annual leave, which are not expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the reporting period are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Expected further payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee turnover, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high‑quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any re‑measurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long‑term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the change occurs. Other long‑term employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. All other long‑term employee benefit obligations are presented as non‑current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. Retirement benefit obligations The consolidated entity makes superannuation and pension contributions to the employee’s defined contribution plan of choice in respect of employee services rendered during the year. These contributions are recognised as an expense in the same period when the related employee services are received. The Group’s obligation with respect to employee’s defined contributions entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation and pension guarantee contributions at the end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid superannuation and pension guarantee contributions are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. Bonus plan The consolidated entity recognises a provision when a bonus is payable in accordance with the employee’s contract of employment or review letter and the amount can be reliably measured. Termination benefits The Group recognises an obligation and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the Group recognises costs for restructuring and the costs include termination benefits. In either case, the obligation and expense for termination benefits is measured on the basis of the best estimate of the number of employees expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the annual reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid and are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. All other termination benefits are accounted for on the same basis as other long‑term employee benefits and are presented as non‑current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. 7878 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 17. Share-based payments (a) Employee Share Plan The Employee Share Plan (ESP) is available to all eligible employees each year to acquire ordinary shares in the Company from future remuneration (before tax). Shares to be issued or transferred under the ESP will be valued at the volume‑weighted average price of the Company’s shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange during the five business days immediately preceding the day the shares are issued or transferred. Shares issued under the ESP are not allowed to be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of until the earlier of the end of an initial three‑year period, or the participant ceasing continuing employment with the Company. Details of the movement in employee shares under the ESP are as follows: Number of shares at beginning of year Number of shares transferred to main share registry and/or disposed of Number of shares at year end 2022 No. of Shares 2021 No. of Shares 26,800 (26,800) – 58,860 (32,060) 26,800 There were no shares issued under the ESP for the 2022 and 2021 financial years, nor were there any amounts of consideration provided by eligible participants at the consolidated statement of financial position date on both years. The market value of the Company’s ordinary shares closed at $5.20 on 30 June 2022 ($6.21 on 30 June 2021). The Employee Share Plan is no longer utilised. (b) Employee Performance Rights Plan The Employee Performance Rights Plan (the Rights Plan) was approved by shareholders at the Company’s AGM on 23 November 2017 and was re‑adopted at the Company’s AGM on 25 November 2021. Under the Plan, awards are made to eligible executives and other management personnel who have an impact on the Group’s performance. Plan awards for long‑term incentives (LTI) are granted in the form of performance rights over shares that vest over a period of three years subject to meeting performance measures and continuous employment with the Company. Plan awards for deferred short‑term incentives (STI) are deferred for a two‑year period, of which the employee must remain employed, following the achievement of annual financial and non‑financial performance measures. Each performance right is to subscribe for one ordinary share upon vesting and, when issued, the shares will rank equally with other shares. Performance rights issued under the Employee Performance Rights Plan are valued on the same basis as those issued to KMP, which is described in Note 17(d).

(c) Employee Share Option Plan The Employee Share Option Plan (the Option Plan) was approved by shareholders at the Company’s AGM on 9 November 2001 and reaffirmed at the AGM on 24 November 2011. Under the Plan, awards are made to eligible executives and other management personnel who have an impact on the Group’s performance. Plan awards are delivered in the form of options over shares that vest over a period of three years subject to meeting performance measures and continuous employment with the Company. Each option is to subscribe for one ordinary share when the option is exercised and, when issued, the shares will rank equally with other shares. Unless the terms on which an option was offered specified otherwise, an option may be exercised at any time after the vesting date on satisfaction of the relevant performance criteria. There were no new options issued under the Option Plan during the 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 financial years, as the Option Plan was replaced with the Rights Plan as described in Note 17(b).

The weighted average share price for share options exercised during the financial year was $nil (2021: $4.84). 8080 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 (d) Fair value of performance rights granted The fair value of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance rights at grant date is independently determined using an adjusted form of the Black Scholes Model, which includes a Monte Carlo simulation model that takes into account the term of the performance rights, the impact of dilution (where material), the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the risk‑free interest rate for the term of the performance rights and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies. The fair value of revenue, profit margin, earnings per share (EPS) and short‑term incentive deferred equity (STI) performance rights at grant date is independently determined using a conventional Black Scholes Model. Details of the assessed fair value of the performance rights as well as the model inputs for rights granted, during the year ended 30 June 2022 and for the prior year 30 June 2021 are presented below: Grant date Expected vesting date Measurement period Fair value of performance rights granted – Revenue and profit margin Fair value of performance rights granted – EPS rights Fair value of performance rights granted – TSR rights Fair value of performance rights granted – STI rights Share price at grant date Expected price volatility of the Company’s shares Expected dividend yield Risk‑free interest rate 2022 15 Sep 2021 30 June 2024 2021 1 July 2020 30 June 2023 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2024 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023 $5.29 – $4.69 – $5.60 30% 2.06% 0.61% – $2.70 $2.84 $2.70 $2.90 30% 2.32% 0.26% The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the life of the performance rights), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). The fair value of shares is measured at the market bid price at grant date. In respect of share‑based payments that are dependent on the satisfaction of performance conditions, the number of options and rights expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date. The amount recognised for services received as consideration for these equity instruments granted is adjusted to reflect the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Share‑based payments are subject to two different forms of measurement: • Market‑based • Non‑market‑based These measurement criteria are subject to different accounting treatments under AASB 2 Share‑based Payment. Market‑based measurement Any awards subject to market conditions will vest irrespective of the condition being met. Where a condition is not met, the expense associated with the award will continue to be recognised over the vesting period. Non‑market‑based measurement For any non‑market‑based awards where the condition is not satisfied, the expense incurred to date is reversed and no further charge is recognised over the remaining period. Critical accounting estimate and judgement Share‑based payments The fair value of rights is estimated on the grant date using an adjusted form of the Black Scholes Model and Monte Carlo simulation model. Estimating fair value for share‑based payments requires significant assumptions such as determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model, including the expected life of the share option or performance right, volatility in the share price and dividend yield. 8282 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 SECTION E: CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT This section explains our policies and procedures applied to manage our financing and capital structure, and the associated risks that we are exposed to. The Group manages its financial and capital structure to maximise shareholder return, maintain an optimal cost of capital and provide flexibility for strategic investments. 18. Financial risk management The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, principally related to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreign currency risk. The Group’s risk management framework is aligned with best practices and designed to reduce volatility on our financial performance and to support the delivery of our business objectives. The Board has overall responsibility for identifying and monitoring operational and financial risks. (a) Credit risk Nature of risk The risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and our investments in debt securities. Exposure to the risk The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 is the carrying amount of financial assets, net of any provisions for impairment and excluding the value of any collateral or other security. The gross trade receivables balance as at 30 June 2022 was $56,534,000 (2021: $75,942,000). The ageing analysis of trade and other receivables is provided in Note 9. As the Group undertakes transactions with a large number of customers and regularly monitors payment in accordance with credit terms, the financial assets that are past due but not impaired are expected to be received. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is affected by the regions and industries our customers operate in. The charts set out below show the concentration of our trade receivables balances by the industry they operate in. FY22 1% 66% 33% Energy Communications Other 70% FY21 3% 27% How is the risk managed? Receivables are managed on an ongoing basis. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors. Ageing analysis and ongoing collectability reviews are performed and, where appropriate, an expected credit loss provision is raised. Historically, the Group has not had any significant write‑offs in our trade receivables. The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on a variety of factors, including their credit ratings and financial position. 8383 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED (b) Liquidity risk Nature of risk The risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. Exposure to the risk The table below categorises the Group’s financial liabilities into their relevant contractual maturities. Amounts included represent undiscounted cash flows. Note 19 provides additional details on the Group’s borrowing arrangements. How is the risk managed? The Group’s approach is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group reviews its minimum levels of cash and cash equivalents on an ongoing basis, and closely monitors rolling cash flow forecasts based on its view on the nature and timing of expected receipts and payments. The Group has historically been able to generate and retain strong positive cash flows. Additionally, a multi‑currency borrowing facility has been arranged with the Group’s financiers to provide increased capacity for strategic growth objectives. Contractual maturities of financial liabilities The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments as at 30 June 2022 and 2021. Financial Liabilities 2022 Trade and other payables Lease liabilities(1) Secured borrowings(2) Total 2021 Trade and other payables Lease liabilities(1) Secured borrowings(2) Total Less Than 6 Months Note 6-12 Months 1-2 Years 2-3 Years > 3 Years Total Payments Contractual Cash Flows $’000 14 13(e) 19 14 13(e) 19 23,989 3,308 – 27,297 37,224 3,233 – 40,457 – 2,918 – 2,918 – 3,068 118,762 121,830 – 3,878 88,151 92,029 – 5,390 – 5,390 – 1,875 – 1,875 – 3,225 – 3,225 – 3,970 – 23,989 15,949 88,151 3,970 128,089 – 4,600 – 4,600 37,224 19,516 118,762 175,502 (1) Lease liabilities are recognised and disclosed at present value in accordance with AASB 16 and the Group accounting policy. (2) As at 4 August 2021, the syndicated multi‑currency borrowing facility was extended to 1 September 2023. 8484 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 (c) Interest rate risk Nature of risk Exposure to the risk The risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s main exposure to interest rate risk arises from its lease liabilities, borrowings and cash and cash equivalents. No other financial assets or liabilities are expected to be exposed to interest rate risk. The weighted average variable interest rate across all our borrowings at 30 June 2022 is 2.34% (2021: 2.20%). If the interest rate were to increase or decrease by 1%, with all other variables held constant, the impact to pre‑tax profit is $1,233,000 (2021: $1,610,000) and the impact to post‑tax equity(1) is $886,000 (2021: $1,158,000). (1) Post‑tax equity is calculated as the net of the blended effective tax rate on pre‑tax profit based on where the interest‑bearing debt is located (i.e., Australia and Canada) and the prevailing corporate tax rate in each of those jurisdictions (i.e., 30% and 26.5% respectively). How is the risk managed? The Group ensures it has access to diverse sources of funding, including access to foreign currency debt. The Group closely monitors its debt ratios to reduce its risk exposure to uncertainty in the global markets if interest rates will fall or rise. Management is comfortable with the risk associated with using variable interest rates due to the current level of borrowings. (d) Foreign currency risk Nature of risk Exposure to the risk The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument or forecasted transaction will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group operates internationally and as such has exposure to foreign currency movements. The Group has expanded its international operations substantially in recent years to the extent that in excess of 83% (2021: 83%) of its revenue is now earned in foreign currency designated transactions. The Group has a number of offices located internationally and more than 88% (2021: 88%) of its workforce is located overseas and paid in foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be limited to the revaluation of foreign currency denominated borrowings, intercompany financing arrangements denominated in foreign currencies, and foreign currency bank balances in the Group at market rates at consolidated statement of financial position date. The Group’s primary foreign currency exposure relates to the movement in US Dollar (USD), British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD) and Euro (EUR) exchange rates. At the reporting date, cash and cash equivalents included $49.0 million (2021: $48.1 million) denominated in foreign currencies. If the foreign currency exchange rate for our primary foreign currencies (being USD, GBP, CAD and EUR) were to move by 10%, with all other variables held constant, the impact to our foreign currency translation reserves (included within ‘Equity’ in the consolidated statement of financial position) on translation of our foreign currency‑denominated cash and cash equivalents is as follows: Increase/(decrease) $’000 USD GBP CAD EUR +10% ‑10% 2022 790 (790) 2021 1,788 (1,788) 2022 553 (553) 2021 438 (438) 2022 619 (619) 2021 255 (255) 2022 2,133 2021 1,317 (2,133) (1,317) The Group’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies and other financial statement items is not material, as the Group has natural hedging and designated hedging relationships in place (refer to “How is the risk managed?” for a further explanation). 8585 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED How is the risk managed? The Group manages its foreign currency risk by evaluating its exposure to fluctuations on an ongoing basis. The Group’s overseas subsidiaries transact in different functional currencies. The effects of any exchange rate movements in respect of the net assets of our foreign subsidiaries are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. Accordingly, the Group has an in‑built natural hedge against major currency fluctuations and, except for significant sudden change, is protected in part by its corporate structure against currency movements so that the impact is largely limited to the margin. In addition, during the financial year, the Group held a foreign currency borrowing as part of the syndicated multi‑currency borrowing facility agreement as disclosed in Note 19, which has been designated as a hedging instrument of the net assets of some of the Group’s principal overseas subsidiaries in order to offset our risk exposure arising from the translation of these subsidiaries into Australian Dollars. There is no impact to the profit or loss on the translation of the Group’s overseas subsidiaries or foreign currency borrowings to the Australian dollar. The Group’s subsidiaries also enter into various financing and transactional arrangements with each other in accordance with local regulatory requirements. The Group regularly reviews these arrangements to minimise its exposure on the translation of outstanding foreign currency‑denominated intercompany balances to the Australian dollar, which impact profit. Significant accounting policies Functional and presentation currency The financial statements of each entity within the consolidated Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the consolidated Group are translated into its functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) are translated using the spot rate at the end of the financial year. All resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re‑statement are recognised in profit or loss and presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the financial year. (e) Fair value measurements Due to their short‑term nature, the fair value of receivables and payables approximates their carrying amounts as disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial statements. At 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021, there are no assets or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis. 8686 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 19.

The facility is secured by 75% of Group assets. As at 30 June 2022, the remaining unutilised portion of the facility is $35,000,000. On 4 August 2021, the syndicated multi‑currency borrowing facility was amended to have a new expiry date of 1 September 2023 (original expiry date was 1 May 2022) and a renegotiated margin pricing grid has delivered a favourable outcome for the Group.

Repayments have been made during the year and as at 30 June 2022, the carrying amount of this borrowing is GBP nil. This foreign currency‑denominated borrowing has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in the Group’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom. The borrowing is being used to hedge the Group’s exposure to GBP foreign exchange risk. Gains or losses on the retranslation of the borrowing is transferred to other comprehensive income to offset any gains or losses on translation of the net investment in the subsidiaries. The Group’s hedging relationship remains unchanged from the prior year for its foreign‑currency denominated borrowing(s). The effects of the foreign currency related hedging instrument on the Group’s financial position and performance are as follows: Note GBP Loan ’000 Carrying amount of the loan – 30 June 2022 (AUD) Carrying amount of the loan – 30 June 2022 (nominated currency) Hedge ratio(1) Change in the carrying amount of loan as a result of foreign currency movements since 1 July 2021, recognised in OCI ($) 22(a) Change in the value of the hedged item used to determine hedge effectiveness ($) Average hedged rate for the year (local currency:1 AUD) Total – – 1:1 (26) 26 0.531 Total – – (26) 26 – (1) The draw‑down loan under the syndicated multi‑currency borrowing facility is denominated in the same currency and critical terms as the value of the net investment in the foreign subsidiaries that is being hedged. Therefore, the hedge ratio this financial year is 1:1 (2021: 1:1). The impact to the foreign currency translation reserve on translation of the Group’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries that are being hedged by the Group’s borrowings was an increase of $26,000 (2021: increase of $428,000). The hedging income or loss recognised in “OCI” (other comprehensive income) before tax is equal to the change in fair value used for measuring effectiveness. There is no ineffectiveness in the years ended 30 June 2022 and 2021. Significant accounting policies Loans and borrowings Interest‑bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised as financial liabilities at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest‑bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Borrowings are classified as non‑current liabilities except for those that mature in less than 12 months from the reporting date, which are classified as current liabilities, unless the borrower has the discretion to refinance or rollover the borrowings. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs can include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method and finance charges in respect of finance leases. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the construction of a qualifying asset, in which case the costs are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. 8888 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 20.

The Trust was established on 24 June 2022. The Trust provides the Group with greater flexibility to accommodate the incentive arrangements of the Group both now and into the future as the Group continues to expand its operations. The Trust will help manage the capital requirements, in that the Trust can use the contributions made by Hansen either to acquire shares in Hansen on market, or alternatively to subscribe for new shares in Hansen. In addition, the Trust provides an arm’s length vehicle through which shares in Hansen can be acquired and held in Hansen on behalf of employees and allows Hansen to satisfy corporations law requirements relating to companies dealing in their own shares as well as assisting with management of insider trading restrictions. Pacific Custodians Pty Limited, an independent third party, is the Trustee of the Trust, and will operate the Trust in accordance with Hansen Technologies Limited Employee Share Plan Trust Deed. (c) Rights of each type of share Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the number of shares held. At shareholders meetings, each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called. (d) Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders while maintaining an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, increase debt, sell assets to reduce debt or a combination of these activities. The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2021 Financial Report. 8989 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 21.

New and amended accounting standards and interpretations (a) Adoption of amended accounting standards that are first operative at 30 June 2022 The Group has adopted the following new and amended accounting standards and interpretations, applicable and effective for the financial year beginning 1 July 2021: • AASB 2020‑8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform [Phase 2] • AASB 2021‑3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID‑19 – Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 • IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Interpretations and Agenda – Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement These amendments do not have a significant impact on the Financial Report and therefore the disclosures have not been made. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. (b) Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not operative at 30 June 2022 The following new and revised accounting standards and interpretations have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board at the reporting date, which are considered relevant to the Group but are not yet effective. The Directors’ assessment of the impact of these standards and interpretations is set out below: (i) Amendments to AASB 101: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non‑current These amendments revise AASB 101 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non‑current. The amendments clarify (a) what is meant by a right to defer settlement; (b) that a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period; (c) that classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right, and (d) that only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification. Group’s assessment performed to date The amendments are effective for the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2023 and must be applied retrospectively. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact to the Group. (ii) Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to AASB 3 The AASB has issued amendments to the Conceptual Framework to apply the new definition and recognition criteria to assets and liabilities, and introduces new concepts regarding the measurement, presentation and disclosure and derecognition of assets and liabilities. Group’s assessment performed to date The amendments are effective for annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2022 and apply prospectively. The amendments to the Conceptual Framework are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. (iii) Property, plant and equipment: Proceeds before intended use – Amendments to AASB 116 These amendments prohibit entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss. Group’s assessment performed to date The amendment is effective for the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies the amendment. 9999 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group. (iv) Onerous contracts – Costs of fulfilling a contract – Amendments to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets The amendments specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss‑making. The amendments apply a “directly related cost approach”. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under contract. Group’s assessment performed to date The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning 1 July 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all of its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group. (v) AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Fees in the ‘10 per cent’ test for derecognition of financial liabilities The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment. Group’s assessment performed to date The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group will apply the amendments to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group. (vi) Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. Group’s assessment performed to date The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2023 and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group. (vii) Disclosure of Accounting Policies – Amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their “significant” accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their “material” accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. Group’s assessment performed to date The amendments to AASB 101 are applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2023 with earlier application permitted. Since the amendments to the Practice Statement 2 provide non‑mandatory guidance on the application of the definition of material to accounting policy information, an effective date for these amendments is not necessary. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments to determine the impact they will have on the Group’s accounting policy disclosures. 29. Subsequent events The Directors resolved to pay a final dividend of 5 cents per share (franked to 1.5 cents), comprising a regular dividend of 5 cents per share to be paid on 21 September 2022 (Note 21). Apart from the above, there has been no other matter or circumstance that has arisen since 30 June 2022 that has significantly affected or may significantly affect: (i) the operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2022, of the Group; or (ii) the results of those operations; or (iii) the state of affairs, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2022, of the Group. 100100 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION The Directors declare that the financial statements and notes set out on pages 45 to 100, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001: • comply with Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001, and other mandatory professional reporting requirements; • as stated in Note 1(a), the consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards; and • give a true and fair view of the financial position of the consolidated entity as at 30 June 2022 and of its performance for the year ended on that date.

David Trude Director Melbourne 24 August 2022 Andrew Hansen Director 101 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Members of Hansen Technologies Limited Opinion We have audited the financial report of Hansen Technologies Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 94 102 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Recognition of Revenue Refer to Note 3 in the financial statements Revenue recognition was considered a key audit matter, as it is complex and involves significant management judgements. The Group’s revenue is primarily derived from the provision of billing solution services to customers, maintenance and support, and licences. Revenue determined for some of the service contracts is based on stage of completion, calculated on the proportion of total costs incurred at the reporting date compared to management’s estimation of contract. the total costs of the Our audit procedures in relation to the recognition of revenue included: • • • • • • • Assessing whether the Group’s revenue recognition policies were in compliance with Australian Accounting Standards; Evaluating and testing the operating effectiveness of management’s controls related to revenue recognition; Performing substantive analytical procedures over key revenue streams; of sample transactions, For a substantiating to supporting documentation, including contracts with customers; revenue transactions by agreeing For a sample of revenue transactions that were recognised on a percentage of completion basis, our testing included: – Agreeing the contract price and variations to customer contracts; Assessing management’s estimate of costs to complete; and Assessing whether budgeted margin. the project was within – – Reviewing sales transactions before and after year- end to ensure that revenue was recognised in the correct period; and Reviewing large or unusual transactions during the financial year. 95 103 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED Impairment of Intangible Assets Refer to Note 12 in the financial statements The Group has net book value goodwill of $220 million in respect of acquisitions of subsidiaries as at 30 June 2022. We identified this area as a Key Audit Matter due to the size of the goodwill balance, and because the directors’ assessment of the ‘value in use’ of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) involves significant judgements about the future underlying cash flows of the business, discount rates and terminal growth applied. For the year ended 30 June 2022 management have performed an impairment assessment over the goodwill balance by: • • calculating the value in use for the CGU using a discounted cash flow model. The model used cash flows (revenues, expenses and capital expenditure) for the CGU for 5 years, with a terminal growth rate applied to the 5th year. The cash flows were then discounted to net present value using the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC); and comparing the resulting value in use of the CGU to its respective book value. Management also performed a sensitivity analysis over the value in use calculations, by varying the WACC and other assumptions. Our audit procedures impairment assessment Corporate Finance team where required, and included: in to management’s involved the assistance of our relation • • • • Assessing management’s determination that the goodwill should be allocated to a single CGU based on the nature of the Group’s business and the in which results are monitored and manner reported; Assessing the valuation methodology used; the reasonableness of Challenging key assumptions, including the cash flow projections, exchange rates, discount rates, and sensitivities used; and Checking the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow model, and reconciling input data to supporting evidence, such as approved budgets and considering the reasonableness of these budgets. Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 96 104 Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf.
