1. "Identify speakers: begin each speaking turn with the speaker's name and role when they are stated on the call (e.g.

"John Smith (CFO):"). When the operator introduces the next caller by name and firm, or hands the call to a named person ("I will now turn the call over to Jane Doe, CFO"), use that identity for the immediately following turn.

Reuse exactly the same label whenever the same voice returns." 2.

"Every paragraph must begin with a speaker label, including the operator's opening and the first prepared remarks. Never output an unlabeled paragraph."

3. "Use "Operator:" for the conference operator.

When a voice cannot be identified, keep distinct voices separate as "Unidentified Speaker 1:", "Unidentified Speaker 2:", etc.; reuse the same number for the same voice. Never guess an identity solely from a roster."

4. "Normalize punctuation and capitalization into clean, readable sentences, but keep the spoken words verbatim.

Do not paraphrase, summarize, shorten, or fix grammar." 5.

"Preserve all numbers exactly as spoken. Write monetary amounts and percentages with digits and symbols (e.g.

$55 million, 44.3%, 64 cents)." 6.

"Mark uncertain speech: if a word or short passage is hard to hear, wrap your best guess in [brackets?] ; if it is unintelligible, write [unclear]."

7. "Output format: plain text, one paragraph per speaker turn, each starting with "Speaker Name: ".

No timestamps, no headers, no commentary, no markdown." 8.

"This call was held on 2025-11-24 and discusses results for H1 2026. Years spoken on the call are therefore around 2026.

Write every year exactly as spoken; never move a year to a different decade or to an earlier year because it sounds unfamiliar." 9.

"Your final response must contain ONLY the transcript text (no preamble, no closing remarks, no markdown fences or blockquotes)."

- Peter Meintjes introduces himself: "I'm Pacific Edge's CEO, Dr. Peter Meintjes..."

Wait, at the very beginning: "Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO):" Wait, how is the role introduced?

"I'm Pacific Edge's CEO, Dr. Peter Meintjes, and with me today is Grant Gibson, our CFO, and available online for questions is our chairman, Chris Gallaher."

So: - Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): - Grant Gibson (CFO): (when Peter hands over: "I will now turn to Grant for our financial performance for the half.")

- Operator: - Rob Morrison (Craigs Investment Partners): (introduced: "And your first question comes from the line of Rob Morrison at Craigs Investment Partners.") - Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr): (introduced: "And your next question comes from the line of Matt Montgomery of Forsyth Barr, your line is open.")

- At the end of the call, who speaks the very last words? Peter says: "Well, thank you very much, everybody.

That's everything for me today. Appreciate your time.

Thank you, Grant. Thank you, Chris."

Grant Gibson (CFO): "Thank you." (or was it Grant Gibson (CFO) / Chris Gallaher (Chairman)?)

Let's check who says "Thank you" and "Thank you, Pete. Thank you, Grant."

Let's check: Grant Gibson (CFO): "Thank you." Chris Gallaher (Chairman): "Thank you, Pete.

Thank you, Grant." (or Unidentified Speaker / Chris Gallaher).

Wait, let's verify if Chris Gallaher was introduced at the beginning: "available online for questions is our chairman, Chris Gallaher." When someone says "Thank you, Pete.

Thank you, Grant", that's Chris! Let's check if we can label him "Chris Gallaher (Chairman):" or if it's Chris Gallaher.

Wait, Peter introduced: "our chairman, Chris Gallaher". So "Chris Gallaher (Chairman):"

1. Dr.

Peter Meintjes (CEO): Hi, good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Pacific Edge 1H financial results presentation... ...

"I will now turn to Grant for our financial performance for the half." 2.

Grant Gibson (CFO): "Great. Thanks, Peter.

The first half our operating revenue was down..." ...

"And I'll pass you back to Peter." 3.

Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Thanks so much, Grant.

As we look forward..." ...

"We thank you for your time and we look forward to taking your questions." 4.

Operator: "Thank you. At this time I would like to remind everyone on the phones..."

5. Rob Morrison (Craigs Investment Partners): "Hey, morning, guys.

Congratulations on getting Novitas to open that committee..." 6.

Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): "We have made modest reductions to our burn..."

7. Rob Morrison (Craigs Investment Partners): "Okay.

It won't be something like, the cost base in the first half was $26 million..." 8.

Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): "We would not expect it to halve, yes."

9. Rob Morrison (Craigs Investment Partners): "Okay.

Cool. You've given best and worst case scenarios for re-coverage..."

10. Dr.

Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Yeah, absolutely. Look, from our perspective..."

11. Rob Morrison (Craigs Investment Partners): "Okay.

Just to read that back to you, the committee will happen in Feb..." 12.

Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Yeah, I would point you to slide seven of our deck, the Medicare re-coverage and estimated timelines..."

13. Rob Morrison (Craigs Investment Partners): "Okay, okay.

Thanks, guys. I'll jump back in the queue."

14. Dr.

Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Cheers." 15.

Operator: "And before we move on to the next question, a reminder, if you would like to join the queue, to please press star one now. Your next question comes from the line of Matt Montgomery of Forsyth Barr.

Your line is open." 16.

Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr): "Hi, guys, good morning. Just on your language, Pete, in terms of the CAC meeting..."

17. Dr.

Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Oh, look, it's coming from multiple sources, but probably the most relevant one..." 18.

Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr): "Yep, no, that's a good response. Thank you.

Then secondly on going back to one of Rob's questions, I was wondering, Grant, if you could give us guidance for second half opex..." 19.

Grant Gibson (CFO): "Yeah, we do. We've got to continually balance that, though, with the expectation of reaffirmation of Medicare coverage..."

20. Dr.

Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Or next, sorry." 21.

Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr): "Yeah, but it'd be fair to assume the decline will be relatively small then on that basis, the second half versus the first?" 22.

Grant Gibson (CFO): "Yeah, as Peter mentioned before, it won't be halving or anything of its base, but we need to maintain a strong presence in the US, ready for re-coverage." 23.

Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Yeah, a lot of the support that we get from the AUA is essentially contingent on maintaining a presence in the market commercially and fighting the fight together."

24. Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr): "Yeah.

Yep. Then one more on sort of the non-CMS US price..."

25. Grant Gibson (CFO): "Yeah, I don't think your classification's actually correct..."

26. Dr.

Peter Meintjes (CEO): "That's right. The last thing that Grant said there, it has dropped to zero.

We cannot confidently accrue until we have developed a pattern with the ALJ..." 27.

Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr): "But just on the CMS mix, I appreciate it's gone to zero since late April, but if we sort of pro rata the revenue from the first half of last year within CMS on the 24 days that you had coverage, and then do the same for volumes, it implies that non-CMS US revenue was sort of flat on the second half of last year, strong volume growth, but I suppose the maths is the maths, the missing piece that I don't have is what the CMS revenue contribution was in 1H 2026 to then sort of work it out. My estimate here is sort of a shade under $1 million.

Yeah." 28.

Operator: "And that does conclude..." 29.

Grant Gibson (CFO): "Yeah, I don't think there's anything additional we can really give you on that, Matt." 30.

Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Yeah."

31. Grant Gibson (CFO): "We don't break down the..."

32. Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr): "Okay.

All right. Cool."

33. Dr.

Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Yeah, we'll see if we can cover it, come to..." 34.

Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr): "Yeah, we can take it offline. We can..."

35. Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr) / Dr.

Peter Meintjes (CEO): Wait, let's see: Matt Montgomery (Forsyth Barr): "We can take it offline. That's fine."

Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Cool.

Thanks, Matt." 36.

Operator: "And that does conclude questions by the phone. I would like to hand over for any written questions."

37. Grant Gibson (CFO): "Right.

Okay. Andrew, your first question was about the Kaiser study.

I believe that's been covered in slide eight..." 38.

Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): "So great question.

Cxbladder Triage Plus is what's called a CDLT, a clinical diagnostic lab test..." 39.

Grant Gibson (CFO): "Great. Thank you.

Adrian, I'm going to combine both your questions. You did ask on the second half cash burn, and we've provided answers that we can on that.

Any capital initiatives, is it likely to follow the tone of that CAC meeting on the 16th of February? How much would you be looking to raise?

Is $50 million reasonable for additional equity to get you through the re-coverage?" 40.

Dr. Peter Meintjes (CEO): "So I don't think we can comment on any of the specifics that are noted in that question, but we do believe that the Contractor Advisory Committee, that will be open to the public..."

41. Grant Gibson (CFO): "Great, and that's the end of the online questions."

42. Dr.

Peter Meintjes (CEO): "Well, thank you very much, everybody. That's everything for me today.

Appreciate your time. Thank you, Grant.

Thank you, Chris." 43.

Grant Gibson (CFO): "Thank you." 44.

Chris Gallaher (Chairman): "Thank you, Pete. Thank you, Grant."
