ASX Announcement 1 June 2022

Atturra completes Hayes acquisition

Key highlights:

  • Atturra completes acquisition of Hayes, an award winning OpenText partner which provides information management consultancy, digital transformation services, and enterprise content management (ECM) application support services.

  • Completion of the Acquisition follows Atturra’s announcement on 10 May 2022.

  • Atturra expects that the Acquisition will add negligible EBIT to the FY22 fullyear results as a result of only one month of trading and integration costs.

  • The Acquisition will make Atturra a market leader for OpenText ECM in Australia and will expand Atturra’s data services portfolio and provide ECM leadership and delivery capability to the whole of Atturra.

Sydney, Australia, 1 June 2022: Leading advisory and technology solutions provider Atturra Limited (ASX: ATA) ( Atturra ) today announced that, through its subsidiary Anatas Pty Ltd (ACN 133 185 458), it has completed the acquisition of Hayes Information Systems and Communications Pty Ltd (ACN 169 127 824) ( Hayes ) ( Acquisition ). The acquisition of Hayes will have minimum impact on the Atturra FY22 results.

Perth-based Hayes is an award winning OpenText partner providing information management consultancy, digital transformation services, and ECM application support services. Hayes also provides technical and functional support services, 24x7.

Upfront consideration is $8.50M in cash, with earn-out/post-completion consideration of up to $7.89M in cash subject to Hayes achieving performance hurdles based on audited EBIT targets for FY22, FY23 and FY24 and certain metrics with respect to key employee retention. The consideration will be funded from internal cash reserves. The purchase price including upfront consideration and deferred consideration is based on a multiple of 7x based on the forecast EBIT contribution to Atturra in FY23

Atturra Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Kowal , said:

“It is great to welcome Hayes to the Atturra business. This is an exciting acquisition for Atturra that positions us strongly in ECM, an important and growing segment of the IT services market. The synergies between our service offerings and the cultural alignment of both companies are very strong. Hayes’ core offerings and its industry solutions strengthen Atturra’s solution portfolio, and we see significant upside in the potential for introducing Hayes’ capabilities to our existing client base.
