Harvest Technology Group records 135% YoY increase in quarterly revenue Raises $970,000 through mix of debt and convertible note instruments Dual lists on Frankfurt Stock Exchange to broaden investor base Special Report: Harvest Technology Group has recorded a 135% YoY increase in quarterly revenue, reaching $1.1 million in Q4 FY25, with the company expecting to exceed $3.5 million in total revenue for the full year. Cash receipts for remote communications tech-solutions provider Harvest Technology Group (ASX:HTG) for the June quarter came in at $631,000 with net cash inflows of $127,000.

HTG strengthened its balance sheet during the quarter, raising $970,000 (before costs) through a mix of debt and convertible note instruments including: $450,000 in unsecured convertible notes launched on June 30; $130,000 in secured convertible notes launched on June 27; and $390,000 short-term loan from managing director. After quarter end, HTG received a further $530,000 in funding in July through additional convertible notes and another loan from the managing director. In June HTG said it was tracking one year ahead of its pathway-to-profit plan as it focused on achieving a positive EBITDA before July 2026. As of June 30, HTG had $723,000 cash. Listing on Frankfurt Stock Exchange In a significant step toward expanding its international presence, HTG listed its shares on the open market segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in April 2025.

Start of Project Neon and new customer wins HTG also started project Neon, an Edge AI-enabled solution aimed at improving real-time decision-making in remote environments. The company secured new customer wins including two subsea services clients, with initial hardware sales and software subscriptions scheduled to begin in Q1 FY26. Additionally, the company expanded deployments across an existing customer fleet, unlocking further hardware sales and an uplift in recurring revenue from software. HTG continued engagement with a European defence customer via its Australian channel partner and began deploying its Nodestream technology across a new uncrewed surface vessel fleet in the Middle East. Enhancements to Nodestream platform In a major product milestone, HTG successfully integrated its Autopilot and Nodestream systems into a single, IP-rated enclosure. The robust weatherproof design simplifies installation and reduces the equipment footprint for deployment on autonomous vehicles and maritime vessels. The company also delivered significant improvements to its Nodestream platform during the quarter including a doubling of available data channels from 10 to 20, enabling more data-intensive operations. Additionally, the user interface has been overhauled to provide a more intuitive and efficient user experience. A comprehensive user permissions framework was introduced in Nodestream Live, improving access control and collaboration across distributed teams.

RAW Energy to expand HTG growth in Sarawak
KUCHING: Global sustainable fuels provider RAW Energy is expected to expand the cultivation of hybrid tropical grass (HTG) in Sarawak by getting the participation of rural communities via its partnership with SEDC Energy Sdn Bhd. RAW Energy's HTG, along with specialised cultivation and production methodologies, delivers a biomass pellet that can be used as a direct feedstock for thermal energy production. HTG is a sterile hybrid of Napier and Pearl millet grass, first imported under permit by RAW Energy's founders in 2014. It is cultivated on large-scale farms in Bintulu, using unproductive marginal land without competing with food crops. It is a fast-growing, high-yielding energy grass that harnesses the power of tropical photosynthesis and rainfall. RAW Energy has appointed SEDC Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sarawak State Economic Development Corp or SEDC, as the exclusive distributor of HTG pellets in Sarawak. SEDC Energy is a catalyst for Sarawak's renewable energy development. The HTG pellets will be supplied to power generation facilities and other users seeking scalable clean energy solutions, RAW Energy and SEDC Energy said in a joint press statement recently. According to SEDC Energy chief executive officer (CEO) Robert Hardin, the company, together with RAW Energy, plans to introduce the cultivation of HTG to the rural communities in phases. He said the move supports Sarawak's Net Zero 2050 target by leveraging biomass for power generation. 'RAW Energy's hybrid tropical grass does not compete with our food sources, which aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15, promoting the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and halting land degradation,' he added. RAW Energy group CEO Ramsay Wilson said its partnership with SEDC Energy represented more than just a strategic alignment. 'This heralds a transformation era in renewable energy adoption across Sarawak. 'By embracing cutting-edge biomass technology, SEDC Energy is setting an inspiring precedent for other global communities striving to balance industrial growth with environmental preservation.' Wilson said HTG pellets are revolutionising the biomass sector and will redefine energy benchmarks on an international scale. 'With a carbon cycle measured in days versus decades and a thermal energy content exceeding that of wood pellets, we offer a glimpse into the future where sustainable energy sources can outperform and replace traditional fuels, such as coal and wood pellets, in terms of ecological impact, efficiency and scalability. 'With resources like RAW Energy, Sarawak is fostering a circular economy – transforming agricultural products into valuable energy commodities. 'Furthermore, this initiative will create a ripple effect, encouraging further investment in green technologies and bolstering the region's economic and environmental resilience. 'Sarawak is positioned to contribute significantly to the global dialogue on renewable energy, showcasing how regional resources can be harnessed for planetary benefit,' added Wilson.

SEDCE partners with RAW Energy to bring hybrid biomass fuel to Sarawak
Clean Energy Solutions through Hybrid Tropical Grass (HTG) pellets for Sarawak with SEDCE as exclusive distributor for RAW Energy. KUCHING (June 20): RAW Energy, a global provider of sustainable fuels, has appointed SEDC Energy (SEDCE) as its exclusive partner to promote and distribute its Hybrid Tropical Grass (HTG) pellets in Sarawak. The HTG pellets will be supplied to power generation facilities and other users requiring scalable, clean energy solutions. The partnership also aims to bring local communities to be part of the sustainability agenda by providing the HTG feedstock through new cultivations. RAW Energy Group chief executive officer Ramsay Wilson welcomed the collaboration, stating that the partnership between SEDCE and RAW Energy represents more than just a strategic business alignment. 'This heralds a transformative era in renewable energy adoption across Sarawak. 'By embracing cutting-edge biomass technology, SEDCE is setting an inspiring precedent for other global communities striving to balance industrial growth with environmental preservation,' he said in a statement. He further explained that their HTG pellets are revolutionising the biomass sector and will redefine energy benchmarks on an international scale. 'With a carbon cycle measured in days versus decades and a thermal energy content exceeding that of wood pellets, we offer a glimpse into a future where sustainable energy sources can outperform and replace traditional fuels such as coal and wood pellets in terms of ecological impact, efficiency, and scalability.' Ramsay also highlighted that Sarawak's use of RAW Energy's biomass resources contributes to building a circular economy by converting agricultural products into valuable energy commodities. 'This initiative will create a ripple effect, encouraging further investment in green technologies. This will also bolster the region's economic and environmental resilience. 'Sarawak is positioned to contribute significantly to the global dialogue on renewable energy, showcasing how regional resources can be harnessed for planetary benefit,' he added. HTG is a sterile hybrid combination of Pennisetum Purpureum (Napier) and Pennisetum Americanum (Pearl millet) grass, which was imported under permit by the founders of RAW Energy back in 2014 and is grown on large scale farms in Bintulu. HTG is a fast-growing high yielding Energy Grass that perfectly harnesses the power of tropical photosynthesis and rainfall and is grown on unproductive marginal land without the 'food versus energy' conflict. SEDCE, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sarawak Economic Development Corporation, views this partnership as a significant step in Sarawak's journey towards greener energy. SEDCE chief executive officer Robert Hardin described the partnership as a crucial step in Sarawak's decarbonisation journey toward achieving the Net Zero 2050 target by utilising its biomass resources for energy generation. 'RAW's hybrid tropical grass does not compete with our food source, which aligns with UNSDG 15 that promotes the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and halts land degradation. 'We also plan to introduce the cultivation of this hybrid grass, along with RAW Energy, to rural communities in phases,' he said. Both SEDCE and RAW Energy recently entered the agreement, paving way for another path towards decarbonisation efforts not only for Sarawak but also Malaysia and the region for Net Zero 2050.

Newcastle to Bali flights 'game-changer', Hunter tourism industry says
The new direct flights to Bali are a "game-changer" for Hunter tourists and visitors alike, local travel agents and tour operators say. Newcastle Airport announced on Tuesday June 3 morning that Jetstar will fly from Newcastle to Denpasar from October 21 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. Return flights will leave Bali on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Kiera Burke co-owns Newy Tour Co, a guided tour company with options from vineyards to whale-watching. "For us to be able to be connected internationally and for Denpasar as such a hub to other places, it just opens up more opportunities for potential customers," she said. "Newcastle is a bit of an undiscovered hidden gem when it comes to global tourism." Ms Burke said in the 18 months her business had been open, their customer base was already 60 per cent international, with guests from Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries. "This is definitely helping put us on the map with international tourism," she said. The tour operator said when pitching to overseas agencies, an international airport along with the city's beaches piqued their interest. "They start to consider us for itineraries and options for their guests travelling to Australia," she said. Noah's On The Beach Hotel in Newcastle and Hunter Travel Group (HTG) also celebrated the new service. "This is a game-changer for travellers in the Hunter Region, offering the convenience of flying overseas straight from our own backyard - no more battling Sydney traffic or lengthy airport commutes," HTG managing director Brett Dann said. The new route offers connections from more than 40 countries and would take just over six hours. Following Tuesday's announcement, Jetstar launched a 24-hour sale of $199 one-way fares with general pricing yet to be revealed in detail. Julia van Huisstede from italktravel in The Junction said the Bali routes were "long-awaited and anticipated". She said their phones were already ringing this morning and emails were filing in. "A lot are bookings or quotes for people to travel next year that hadn't committed yet," she said. "Bali is definitely a hot spot for Novocastrians, we have a huge market going there." The travel agent said she hoped the move would draw in Indonesian tourists and other international guests who would be able to connect via Bali. "People might go to Singapore and then Bali for a holiday, and then continue to Newcastle," she said. Newcastle Airport CEO Linc Horton said they hope to offer more routes and holiday destinations "shortly". "I'd love to say tomorrow but hopefully later on this year," he said. Mr Horton said they would consider holiday spots similar to Bali under eight hours away. "We are actively talking to other airlines and working to build a broader international network for the region," he said. "Airlines have to be cautious where they put their places and their people, but I think very quickly they'll see how strong the demand is," he said. Jetstar head of airline partnerships and network Ted Knight said the Newcastle service had been a long time in the making. "With this service, we will have 70,000 seats per year," he said. Business Hunter CEO Bob Hawes said the route would help boost industries in the visitor economy arena. He said the flights would hopefully expand to the movement of goods via the planes as well. "It also opens opportunities for new freight connections, which will benefit our export businesses and encourage the flow of more outbound goods from other parts of the state through Newcastle," he said. Both Ms van Huisstede and Ms Burke hoped to see routes further expanded to destinations such as Singapore, Fiji and Hong Kong. One Newcastle Herald reader said it was the first step forward with hopefully more international routes to follow while another said they hoped for Singapore, Tokyo or Jakarta. Singapore topped a poll of readers' favoured next overseas routes, with 61 per cent of respondents backing the Asian hub. The USA polled 14.7 per cent, behind other options (16.8 per cent), while another Australian route landed at just over 7 per cent.
