ASX Release

15 March 2021

Trading Update SaaS revenue accelerates to highest ever since December 2019 driven by user growth and increased travel

Fintech company 8common Limited ( 8common or the Company ) (ASX: 8CO ) is pleased to provide a trading update on current business activity levels and SaaS revenues.

Highlights:

  • Recurring and transaction-based SaaS revenue for the month of March (for February activity) was $226k, the 3[rd] highest monthly level ever, and the highest since December 2019 ($242k) as travel and expense activity continued to normalise in Australia post the impact of COVID-19

  • User levels continue to increase to over 157k (up over 25% over the past 12 months)

  • The March quarter recurring SaaS and transaction-based revenue is expected to be greater than $630k

8common CEO, Andrew Bond said “The SaaS revenue achieved in March is an important milestone. We are benefiting from the 25% y.o.y increase in users and the start of return to travel. Our ability to execute new products, implement new customers and support clients at scale is a testament to our robust development, R&D and operational capabilities.”

“The roll out of CardHero+ with not-for-profit Life Without Barriers to deliver a next generation funding disbursement capability to their NDIS supported disability care communities continues to be executed in line with our project plan. We are well placed to deliver the CardHero+ platform to more end customers and capture the increasing growth opportunity provided by CardHero’s integrated card payment, expense management and fund disbursement technology.”

“With a strong balance sheet, growing Expense8 demand and the development of the CardHero platform, we are expecting a strong finish for the company in FY21, providing a very solid foundation for FY22.”

This release has been approved by the Board of 8common.
