30 July 2021 : DC Two Limited (ASX: DC2) (“DC Two” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated revenue generating data centre, cloud and software business, is pleased to release its Appendix 4C cash flow statement for the quarter ending 30 June 2021.

Financial Performance

DC Two achieved its third consecutive quarter of recurring revenue growth, with Q4 FY21 recurring revenue increasing 9.3% to A$472k over Q3 FY21 results. This also represents a significant increase over the previous year sales for the corresponding period and highlights the consistent and growing demand for DC Two’s data centre and cloud services. In June, DC Two signed a 5-year Fixed Term ESG Agreement for approximately A$926k and anticipates initial revenue from the agreement to begin in August 2021.

The Company ended the quarter with A$1.89m cash on hand. This robust capital position allows DC Two to continue executing its revenue growth strategy and will enable the completion of its Bibra Lake data centre into Tier III accreditation, which will become the cornerstone of DC Two’s offerings and underpin its nationwide expansion.

DC Two Managing Director, Justin Thomas, said; “Our strategy of increasing recurring revenue is working and it’s encouraging to see this model provide stable, predictable income and a high customer lifetime value. We have increased this revenue base in conjunction with bringing two data centres online within 7 months, which is testament to our highly credentialed and passionate team.”

Bibra Lake data centre became operational

In early May, the Bibra Lake data centre became fully operational in Stage 1 configuration, with all major components being installed and successfully tested. Testing also illustrated that the data centre maintained ideal environmental conditions suitable for continuous and reliable operations.

Following Stage 1 completion, demand for DC Two cloud and data centre services within Bibra Lake has been positive. In June, DC Two secured its first co-location customers, installed its ISO 27001 Cloud Platform and successfully began to migrate existing customers from the Osborne Park Data Centre. Encouraging progress towards final Tier III deployment (Stage 2) was also made, with Tier III design and construction accreditation expected in the H2 CY21.

Upon completion of its Tier III accreditation, DC Two will gain a competitive edge when tendering for large enterprise and government customers requiring Tier III compliance, security and access accreditations.

Mid-West Data Centre: Fixed Term ESG Agreement signed for approximately A$926k

Leveraging our data centre design and management expertise, DC Two developed and launched a unique Modular Datacentre hosting solution for bitcoin and cryptocurrency miners with a focus on lower cost, renewable energy. Shortly after launch, DC Two signed a Fixed Term Agreement to provide co-location services for a cryptocurrency miner estimated to be worth a minimum of A$926,376 including GST over the 5-year term.

Under the terms of the agreement, the customer will purchase 176kw of power over a 5-year period from DC Two’s eco-friendly, transportable and modular data centre located ‘behind the meter’ at the Company’s West Australian based Mid-West data centre which is located on an operational wind farm.

The Fixed Term Agreement will see DC Two provide the data centres floor space, empty racks, power, cooling, internet connectivity and day to day equipment, hardware and remote hands support. The customer will provide and manage their own servers and mining equipment.

DC Two sees a potential commercial opportunity to secure further cryptocurrency miners as customers. Having data centres located ‘behind the meter’ at renewable power sites provides future clients with access to globally competitive power prices, which could decrease the operational costs of mining. It also provides a turn key solution for miners seeking to lower their environmental impact.

Collie Data Centre: Enters Next Phase of Development

During the quarter, DC Two made a number of positive developments which advanced its Collie Data Centre closer towards potential future commercialisation. The Company signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Cannaponics Limited to explore the potential deployment its modular data centres at the Cannaponics cannabis facility under construction in Collie, Western Australia.

Cannaponics are building a world class cannabis research, cultivation, extraction and manufacturing facility and planning to install significant solar and/or other renewable infrastructure to provide power to the site.

DC Two plans to harness this renewable power source and install its eco-friendly, transportable and modular data centres ‘behind the meter’ to access reduced power prices to decrease operational costs of running the data centres. The execution of the MOU with Cannaponics reiterates DC Two’s ESG focus and commitment to sustainable and renewable power generation.

The collaboration will also explore the possibility to re-use the low-grade waste heat produced by the data centre modules to heat the greenhouses as needed, effectively using the electrical power energy twice, firstly to power the data centre and secondly to heat the greenhouses.

Development of the Microsoft SPLA automated reporting tool and commercial release has been paused. The Company decided to allocate further resources towards scaling its eco-friendly, transportable and modular data centres as demand from customers increased over the quarter. DC Two sees this as a positive step, as resources are now fully directed towards revenue generation actives. The Company still aims to develop SPLA and believes there is large potential commercial opportunity for the reporting tool in the future.

Outlook for Q1 FY22

Along with growing recurring revenue, the Company will continue to finalise the engineering and designs for Bibra Lake Tier III to achieve Uptime Institute (UTI) TCDD (Tier Certification of Design Documents) status. Focus will also be directed towards building and deploying additional DC Modular data centre modules to significantly upgrade the Mid-west site. Sourcing and securing supplier agreements for additional ‘behind the meter’ power sites is also a key corporate priority and the Company expects to finalise the formal and binding agreements for Collie (Cannaponics) and Werribee (LMS).
