OUTLOOK

Medium Term Outlook

Major contributors to growth in medium term are:

1. Intersection Products

• $25m NSW upgrade underpins major contract revenue until

late CY’15 (slow start, but project is expected to complete on

time)

• Further upgrade projects across Australia with ~35% of

market not yet LED

• Expansion of product range with QTC acquisition

• Implementation of new products e.g. electronic speed signs

Exports

Domestic

Exports vs. Domestic Revenue

4. Operations

• Continued focus on margin improvement with further

product rationalisation & manufacturing efficiencies

• Synergy benefits of QTC acquisition

3. Exports

• Export opportunities for existing

product to 27 countries with

SCATS operated traffic systems

• Further sales into UK

• Market for emergency

telephones also large offshore

• Expanded worldwide distribution

network from QTC acquisition

FY’14 Outlook

• Too early to give FY’14 guidance but expect:

– Pick up in revenue from NSW traffic signals upgrade

– Improved revenue & earnings from exports & road

lighting

– QTC expected to contribute to second half of FY’14

2. Road Lighting

• LED road light trials (VIC, NSW & SA) expected to complete

in near term

• Market is 2-3x size of intersection products

• LED product offers

- Increased energy efficiency + reduced carbon footprint

- Operational cost savings - longer life + reduced

maintenance costs over life

• Traditional road lighting contracts in conjunction with Rexel

QTC ACQUISITION

Acquisition of Quick Turn Circuits (QTC)

• Completed acquisition of QTC in December 2013

• Purchase Price $4m – consists of business, inventory and IP

• Expected to be earnings accretive in 2014

QTC Traffic Solutions

• Sydney based manufacturer of SCATS* based traffic controllers**

• Established in 1995

• TTI has been distributing QTC controllers in VIC since 2010

• Export opportunities to 27 countries with SCATS systems

Strategic Rationale of QTC acquisition

• Expansion of intersection product range

• Opens up new export markets for TTI’s existing SCATS

accredited products

• Acquisition of IP will negate substantial R&D costs of developing

a controller and time associated with obtaining accreditation

* SCATS (Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System) is a fully adaptive urban traffic control system that optimises traffic flow. The system is recognised worldwide as an intelligent

transport system and has been deployed to over 35,000+ intersections in 27 countries.

** Traffic controller is an automated device that regulates the sequencing and timing of traffic signals by monitoring vehicular and pedestrian demands and adjusting to meet these

requirements. The controller has the ability to allow co-ordination of traffic flows between adjacent intersections when connected to a co-ordinated adaptive traffic system.

After years of investment and development we now have four areas of growth that are beginning to contribute to earnings

Intersection Products Road Lighting

• Dominant position in traffic

lights

• QTC acquisition enables

complete package to be

offered

• Medium term outlook

underpinned by NSW signals

upgrade project (up to $25m

over 30 months ending late

CY’15)

• Further upgrade projects with

~35% of Australian

intersections still utilising old

technology

• Well positioned to win further

large scale project work in

coming years

Australia & NZ

• QTC acquisition opens up

further export markets - 27

countries using SCATS

London market alone has

~6,000 intersections: Already supplying

countdown timers

Appointed to panel to supply traffic intersection products

Export markets

• Road lighting market in

Australia estimated to be 2-3x

intersection market

• Agreement with Rexel to

manufacture and supply a

range of traditional road

lighting products for

distribution through Rexel’s

branch network across

Australia

Conventional

• Developing Category V & P

LED luminaires

• Initial focus on Category V:

− Trials conducted on roads in

SA, VIC and NSW

− First commercial sales on a

trial basis in SA

− Formal approval in SA, VIC

and NSW expected in the

near term
