Highlights:

  • 67% quarter on quarter cash receipts growth to circa A$692k

  • Sales of hardware products anticipated to generate additional recurring revenue

  • Approximately $432k of recurring revenue for the quarter

  • Bibra Lake data centre expected to be fully operational with a Stage 1 deployment and first revenue in the coming weeks

  • Successful deployment of modular, eco-friendly data centre ‘behind the meter’ at a wind farm located north of Perth in Western Australia and revenue generating

29 April 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 31 March 2021.

Quarterly Growth (Cash Receipts)

DC Two achieved its second consecutive quarter of revenue growth as a public company, with Q3 FY21 cash receipts increasing 67% to A$692k over Q2 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.

The largest portion of new receipts consisted of ~A$226k in hardware sales directly related to DC Modular hosting, which is anticipated to generate additional recurring revenue for the business from June 2021 onwards. Recurring revenue of $432k was achieved within the existing cloud and data centre business units and first revenues for DC Modular.

The Company continued to solidify its presence in Western Australia with targeted sales and marketing campaigns which grew overall customer numbers. DC Two also hired two additional sales and business development team members to accelerate sales.

In early December 2020, the Company signed a number of new Reseller Partner Service Agreements which added to the existing 40+ channel partners already promoting and selling our extensive range of data centre and cloud products. A number of potential future revenue opportunities with these partners have now been identified.

Bibra lake

During the quarter, and due to encouraging customer interest, the Company has made significant headway in bringing Stage 1 of the Bibra Lake data centre online significantly ahead of the original schedule. The data centre is anticipated to be fully operational and online in Q4 FY21 with first revenue expected shortly afterwards.

Coinciding with the Stage 1 build, the Company has made encouraging progress towards Bibra Lake achieving Tier III accreditation. All of the architectural, electrical, mechanical and other engineering is well underway with the long lead time items such as Chillers and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems ordered and awaiting delivery.

Completing the data centre and achieving Tier 3 accreditation will transform the DC Two business by providing the infrastructure needed to secure mid-market and enterprise customers requiring Tier 3 compliance, security and access accreditations. It will also allow the Company to transition some internal resources from development into commercial activities.

Once the Bibra Lake site achieves its Tier III accreditation, DC Two will move closer towards becoming the only company in Western Australia with an Uptime Institute accredited Tier III data centre and ISO 27001 ISMS certified multi-tenant cloud platform.

DC Modular achieves first official paying customer for eco-friendly data centre

In an Australian first, DC Two successfully deployed its modular, eco-friendly data centre ‘behind the meter’ at a wind farm located north of Perth in Western Australia’s Mid-West region. This renewable power source now offers the customer a “green powered” data centre and cloud service that lowers their environmental impact.

Locating ‘behind the meter’ allows DC Two to access globally competitive power prices, which decrease the operational costs of running the data centre. This enables savings to be passed on to the customer, thereby retaining computing workloads that would otherwise have left the country to other global regions where low power costs exist.

This achievement also saw initial first revenues for DC Modular. While the initial revenues were not material, the Company expects repeat revenues across multiple customers in the future as a number of additional modular projects are underway and the Company continues to receive multiple enquiries from potential customers.
