AND HERE 'TIS ASX RELEASE 14 March 2023 Operations Approval Obtained and Technical Update Kleos Space S.A. (ASX: KSS, Frankfurt: KS1) (Kleos or Company), a space-powered defence & intelligence technology company, is pleased to confirm the extension of its Luxembourg spacecraft operational authorisation, and to provide an update following entering operational phase with daily data delivery to customers. Spacecraft Operations Authorisation As advised in the Company’s activities report lodged with ASX on 31 January 2023, the renewal of the space operations authorisation had been delayed. The Luxembourg Ministry of Economy has now confirmed that the authorisation for the Company to operate a constellation of up to eighty spacecraft has been issued, following fulfilment of the administrative requirements of a new licencing regime, that was required to be completed by 17 March 2023. Intelligence Product Delivery Kleos’ intelligence products have now been delivered to Government and commercial customers against a daily operational service level for a consistent two-month period. The Company offers Geospatial Intelligence (Guardian LOCATE) products that are generated by processing data collected by Kleos satellites over predefined Standard Collection Zones (SCZs) that contain numerous customer areas of interest. Current SCZs are Europe and Asia Pacific. Revenues are generated by selling subscriptions granting a license to access all available intelligence products on a SCZ basis, including to an additional government intelligence agency to which products are being delivered in Q1 and Q2.

The users of Kleos’ intelligence products gain valuable insights into human activity where tracking systems are not used or obfuscated (for example, ship AIS transponders are often not used near contested islands in the South China Sea) or imagery when restricted by cloud cover. Revenue & Contract Delivery1 Following entering operational mode, the Company announced revenue recognition of €900k (A$1.4 million) in February. Evaluation data is now being accessed by 12 government agencies and 31 commercial entities. The Company is working on converting the evaluation agreements into growing revenues. - ENDS - This announcement has been authorised by Executive Director, Andrew Bowyer.
