Outlook
Complii continues to grow the customer base across the group’s core product and service offerings. Complii has seen another steady increase in client signing during this quarter which will result in an increase of recurring revenue in the following quarter, and is expecting to continue this growth trajectory through the coming quarters.
Throughout Q1 FY22, Complii has focused resources on projects due to be delivered to clients in Q2 FY22, as well as onboarding new clients to the platform. Complii has now delivered on these value-adding short term initiatives and is focusing on medium and long term projects for the remainder of FY22. These projects will result in enduring revenue growth as we build out Complii’s service offering to the financial services sector and beyond.
During Q1 FY22 Complii announced the acquisition of PrimaryMarkets, which is set to complete on the 3 November 2021. Founded in 2016, PrimaryMarkets is an independent global Platform providing liquidity and enabling the trading of securities and shares in unlisted and private companies. This acquisition provided an opportunity for growth to Complii’s footprint by acquiring an asset which has no significant existing competitor in Australasia. As Complii’s core platform enables its customers to raise capital in both listed and unlisted securities, we will now be in a position to offer our customers a platform to provide liquidity in those unlisted companies. PrimaryMarkets allows investors to invest in US “unicorn” stocks such as Virtual Gaming Worlds and Animoca Brands and facilitates other opportunities for Australian investors interested in trading in alternative financial securities.
This transaction will see a significant increase in the combined group's revenue from Q2 FY22 and beyond.
