Operational Highlights

• Several recent contract wins, including the one for the German Future Soldier Program (IdZ) where THEON provides its newly launched Heads-Up Display system, part of the A.R.M.E.D ecosystem of products.
• Continued strong international traction for the A.R.M.E.D products.
• Participation in several larger tender processes as demand for night vision products continues to increase globally.
• THEON’s majority shareholder placed c.3.2 million shares (4.5% of issued share capital) in March 2025, broadening THEON’s investor base and improving stock liquidity.
• THEON was also included in the FT Europe 1,000 fastest growing companies list for the second year.
• Finally, THEON initiated the process of becoming a participant in the United Nations Global Compact, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable and ethical practices across its operations.

Dimitris Parthenis, CFO of THEON, commented: “THEON has delivered a strong start to the year, driven by our best-in-class technologies and products and enabled by our strong supply chain. There is significant pent-up demand for night vision goggles globally. At the same time, soldiers increasingly need more advanced “augmented reality” capabilities in combat, covered by our A.R.M.E.D ecosystem. THEON is well placed to capture this demand, servicing our existing customers and winning new ones.

Our Q1 performance and order book provide us with strong visibility and confidence that we remain well on track to deliver FY 2025 results in line with guidance.”
