-
Strategic objective is to focus on MetroMap subscription growth which continues to build momentum. This is reflected in the revenue recognised, growth in ARR and deferred revenue (contract liabilities).
-
Focus on MetroMap delivered strong growth in subscription revenue of $1.3m which represents subscription growth 727% on the same time last year which has been offset by a decline in project revenue of $2.8m or 28%.
-
Investing for growth via acquisition of datasets in MetroMap, people and capture assets to take advantage of future opportunities.
• Business continued to generate strong cash flow from operations of $2.3m (2019: $1.6m) which was reinvested as part of the growth strategy.

• Still in start up phase.
-
Competitor analysis indicates limited competition for AMX
-
3D product offering while there are a number of established players in the market covering the other product lines.
-
Isolating these two projects from revenue would see
-
revenue decline by 5%.
-
Office opened in Denver, Colorado in February 2020 and did
-
not deliver any revenue to December 2020 however first sale announced to market in February 2021.
-
Volume of projects down on PCP with no international

Geographical Segments:
• Australian operations contributed an EBITDA profit of $439k in December 2020 compared to $2,222k in December 2019, on a normalised basis after accounting for expenses that were one off in nature relating to the IPO & finance restructure.
• Decline in EBITDA driven by timing in investing in the business for growth. Major driver for decline driven by increase in employment costs reflecting investment into people with headcount increasing from 87 in December 2019 to 113 in December 2020. In the prior reporting period (December 2019) staff headcount increased from 73 to 87 in preparation for the ASX listing however many of the senior appointments were not made until later in the half (October onwards) meaning the full wage impact was not seen in the December 2019 results.
• Share based payments of $840k (December 2019: $69k) reflects the accounting recognition of the options granted to staff in May 2020 and the options to 3 of the 5 directors approved at the AGM in November 2020. The cost of the options is recognised over the vesting period, is a non cash item and allocated against a share based payment reserve (equity).
