Announcement PDF ASX Announcement Page 1 of 4 25 August 2026 Verbrec secures $16 million in new Energy Security contracts • Verbrec has executed an agreement to undertake the engineering, procurement and construction of in-line inspection facilities on a Queensland gas pipeline, valued at $6.8 million. • Verbrec awarded pipeline, compression and operations contracts QLD, NT, VIC, SA and WA, valued at approximately $7.2 million. • Verbrec’s fully owned subsidiary, Alliance Automation has secured electrical, control system and cyber security for operating asset awards with key energy companies in Queensland with a combined value of approx. $1.6 million. • Verbrec completes Biomethane Potential Study for the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (WA). Verbrec Limited (ASX : VBC) (Verbrec or the Company) today provides a business update and a summary of recent contract awards. The projects in this announcement, along with the previously announced Bi-directional project for Power & Water Corporation1 culminate in over $36 million in Energy Security project awards since the commencement of the financial year. Taken as a whole, these awards span seven clients across Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea. Verbrec plays a vital role in delivering the infrastructure underpinning Australia’s energy security. AEMO's 2026 Gas Statement of Opportunities forecasts gas shortfall risks under extreme peak day demand conditions in southern Australia from 2029, with additional supply needed in most scenarios from 2030, as production from legacy southern fields continues to decline. New production, storage and transportation investment is required. 2 Australia's gas system is entering a period of sustained reinvestment. A key example is the Beetaloo Sub-basin. The Northern Territory Government describes the Beetaloo as a world-class resource with the potential to generate over $17 billion in economic value over the next two decades through royalties, employment and business growth. 3 Beetaloo Basin gas powered data centre projects could attract up to $40 billion in private investment. The development of Beetaloo Basin gas fields has helped trigger data centre proposals from as many as a dozen proponents considering a range of locations near Darwin and in other remote regions in the Territory. The Northern Territory government has publicly supported a gas fuelled tech and data centre industry. 4 Verbrec is uniquely positioned to address this market trend. Verbrec's core business across Australia and the Pacific is to deliver services across the full life cycle of energy infrastructure and assets. The company provides engineering, construction, operations and maintenance services for critical energy and gas infrastructure assets.

Verbrec will then undertake cleaning, gauging and intelligent pigging runs to analyse and assess the internal condition of the pipeline. The contract has a fixed lump sum value of $6.8 million, with the works set to be completed by 31 March 2028. The pipeline is operated under a multi-year operations & maintenance contract, further establishing the importance of this contracting model to Verbrec’s continued growth and success.

ASX Announcement Page 3 of 4 • Verbrec starts early-stage design on compression and pipeline projects in WA ($1.3m). The initial scope includes detailed design, pipeline license advice, environmental studies and landholder access and liaison works for projects in the mid-west region of Western Australia.

Verbrec completes Biomethane Potential Study for the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (WA) The Western Australian Biomethane Potential Study is set to be published by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), Government of Western Australia. Verbrec is the lead author of the study, responsible for the engineering, techno-economic assessment and energy transition strategy, working alongside Northmore Gordon and Oakley Greenwood. The study assesses how much renewable gas Western Australia could produce from its own waste, sewage and crop residues, what that resource is worth, and what is required for the first projects to be built. This builds on Verbrec’s established record in the sector, including engineering and construction support to Clarus’ First Renewables for New Zealand’s Broadlands Biogas Upgrade, the first facility of its kind in New Zealand, and the detailed feasibility study for a new Auckland biogas facility announced in H1 FY2026. Verbrec is well placed to be the engineering partner of choice as the renewable gas sector scales across Australia and New Zealand.
