Melbourne, Australia, 29 April 2021: AD1 Holdings Limited (ASX: AD1) ( AD1 or the Company ), the provider of customer branded recruitment technology platforms, mentoring software solutions, utilities software billing services and management platforms and related services, today released its business update and the Appendix 4C for the March 2021 quarter.
Key March 2021 Quarter Highlights & Business Update
-
Cash receipts from customers for the March 2021 quarter were $1.53 million representing an increase of 80% compared to prior year.
-
Net operating outflows for the quarter was $0.40 million primarily due the investments to deliver major projects and new customer implementations.
-
AD1’s utilities division, signed a landmark five-year $10 million deal with energy retailer Locality Planning Energy (LPE). Implementation of the expanded solution is expected to be completed by September 2021.
-
The utilities division has also commenced a six-month projects roadmap with BlueNRG. The roadmap is aimed at enhancing the platforms commissioned for BlueNRG to support their strategic objectives.
-
During the quarter, the meters under management for the utilities software division grew by approximately 4,500 (an increase of 10% QoQ). Over 50,000 in aggregate as at end of March 2021, this represents approximately 28% growth compared to the March 2020 quarter.
-
AD1’s newest acquisition Art of Mentoring (AoM) continues to perform well and added a further 6 new clients during the March 2021 quarter (21 new clients added since the start of the financial year).
-
Notable additions for AoM include Anglo American Metallurgical Coal Pty Ltd, AusIMM, NSW Public Service Commission and St John of God Health Care.
-
The development of the ApplyDirect off-the-shelf product has commenced with an expected launch in the September 2021 quarter.
-
On 29 April 2021, AD1 has executed a binding offer to enter into a Debtor Finance Facility, Trade Finance Facility and Term Loan Facility with Moneytech Finance Pty Ltd ABN 75 112 110 906 (Moneytech) (collectively, the Facilities). The purpose of the Facilities totalling $2 million, is to fund the delivery of the sizable projects and new customers wins from the March 2021 quarter. The details of the Facilities are provided below.
AD1 CEO, Prashant Chandra, said: “The Company enjoyed a strong and productive March 2021 quarter with significant new customer and project wins. Most notable of the wins is the multi-year $10 million deal in the utilities division, which will increase the Company’s recurring SaaS and Managed Services revenue by approximately 50% compared to FY2020. It is also a great validation of the value our utilities technology solutions deliver for our customers. This positions the Company well to exit FY2021 with an ARR in excess of $6 million, a significant increase from prior year.”
“Our highly configurable utilities platforms are an excellent choice for the energy retailers, as they can continue to enhance their commissioned platforms to meet their evolving strategic requirements. Our sixmonth innovation roadmap with BlueNRG, that has recently commenced is a good example of this journey. We expect to deliver the roadmap projects by September/October 2021.”

“In the HR Technology space, AoM provides the Company with a good balance of shorter sales cycle opportunities. AoM added six new platform customers during the reported quarter extending the total new customer sign ups for FY2021 to 21.”
“Our strategy for ApplyDirect is to launch an off-the-shelf product to enable the SME employers access the same great benefits as are available, through our career platform solutions, to large employers such as the NSW and Victorian governments. Design and development of this product is currently in progress and we expect the product launch to occur in the July-September 2021 quarter. We are excited about the prospects of this product in what we believe is a highly contestable market.”
“The sales pipeline across the Company is stronger than ever and progressing well.”
“A key focus area for the Company over the next six months will be to ensure the successful execution of the exciting delivery pipeline it has built over the March 2021 quarter. AD1 will make prudential operational investments over this period to create the necessary bandwidth to ensure seamless solutions delivery for our customers. Accordingly, the Company has executed a binding finance agreement with Moneytech to create a $2 million facility to fund this phase.”
“Finally, the Company will host an investor webinar and Q&A for all shareholders and interested parties as a follow up to the release of its quarterly results. The details of the webinar will be released to the market as a separate announcement.”
