Our Strategy
Come for the tool, stay for the network

Operating Model
- Operating as a feedback loop, each step not only adds to profitability, but strengthens our moat.
In turn, this enhances our strategy of operating at the intersection of Business Process Outsourcing, Customer Experience and Sales.
==> picture [1090 x 981] intentionally omitted <==

Sales Model
Customer Driven Sales Strategy:
-
Connexion sells to the OEM
-
OEM sells to the Dealers
-
Connexion sells further to the Dealers
-
Dealers sell to the Consumer
==> picture [768 x 822] intentionally omitted <==
NOTE: At this stage, “Consumer Sales” merely represents optionality inherent in Connexion’s strategy by way of its distribution network. There is no firm commitment to develop this component.

Sources of Value
| Generating Economic Value 2017 Onwards. General Motors extended for five years. New OEM Sales – existing product. A small number of potentially large-ticket revenue prospects. Lumpy revenue growth. Long lead times. US VP of Sales appointed March 2021. Multi-pronged sales approach implemented using existing internal product champions. Building Strategic Value 2020 Onwards. Building the value inherent in both our OEM and Dealership distribution channels. Already, approximately 22% of all Light Vehicle Dealerships in the US use Connexion’s software. For context, the largest DMS provider in the US has ~45% share. These channels are suitable for both our proprietary products, and potentially 3rd party product as well. Commercialising Strategic Value 2021 Onwards. Commercialising the value inherent in both our OEM and Dealership distribution channels. Value can be commercialised organically or via channel partnerships in either direction. A larger number of small-ticket revenue prospects. Incremental revenue growth. First two Commercial Pilot signed. |

Key Trends
Four key trends influenced our FY21 results, continuing into FY22:
-
Revenue deterioration from plunging global vehicle inventories (semiconductor chip shortage)
-
Revenue growth from CXZTRAC subscriptions
-
Revenue growth from feature-enhancement delivery
-
Expenditure growth from reinvestment into our Team and Products
==> picture [1102 x 1080] intentionally omitted <==
16
FY21 Vs FY20
==> picture [1618 x 542] intentionally omitted <==
-
FY20 was the prior comparable period, and a record year in virtually all respects.
-
FY20 included numerous one-off revenue items, record pre-COVID subscriptions levels and the discontinued Commercial Link contract.
-
FY21 shows growing Recurring Revenue, materially increased R&D expenditure, the first two months of CXZTRAC revenue and disciplined G&A.
17
True SaaS
In years prior, Connexion derived a larger percentage of its revenue from one-off “Services” activity.
This was a tactic successfully employed by the Company to repair its balance sheet without diluting Shareholders.
This tactic is no longer used actively, with Services activity being restricted to the improvement of customer satisfaction and stickiness.
Connexion’s prime focus is growing its “true” SaaS business, which is scalable.
Correspondingly, Connexion’s “flywheel” is beginning to emerge, with increased Gross Profit reinvested into further growth initiatives.

Gross Profit
Conservative accounting treatment means that increasing investment into R&D and Sales & Marketing will weigh on Net Profit for the foreseeable future.
The single best metric to track the performance of such investment over time is Gross Profit.
Gross Profit is the “engine” of the business, from which cashflow can be subsequently allocated to its highest and best use.
Connexion’s Gross Profitability is approaching alltime highs, with the last Quarter (Q1 FY22) only surpassed by Q2 FY20 – a period boosted by an unusually large amount of one-off revenue.

19
Economic Drivers
==> picture [76 x 94] intentionally omitted <==
Team Performance
At last year’s AGM, we advised of the three Economic Drivers affecting Connexion in order of influence.
These were firstly FX, followed by Subscriptions and then Team Performance.
We are pleased to report that the order of influence is now reversed, with Connexion substantially more resilient to externalities than it was twelve months ago.
==> picture [38 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Subscriptions
==> picture [95 x 95] intentionally omitted <==
FX
20
Economic Drivers
Team performance remains strong:
-
Extended five-year agreement signed with General Motors, serving as a pleasing validation of the daily value that Connexion brings to General Motors and its Dealers.
-
Rapid and successful pivot undertaken through early CXZTRAC launch to avoid the bulk of the economic calamity otherwise faced by the global vehicle inventory shortage.
==> picture [76 x 94] intentionally omitted <==
Team Performance
-
In addition, the team added US$546k in organic top line growth in FY21, reflecting the “Embed” component of Connexion’s operating model.
-
Finally, Connexion grew its pipeline of upcoming feature enhancement work, including its first two Commercial Pilots, signed subsequent to the end of FY21.
-
During the financial year, this organic growth was simply outpaced by the external headwinds named below.
21
Economic Drivers
Vehicle subscriptions materially impacted:
- Vehicle inventory materially impacted by the combination of demand-side followed by supply-side constraints resulting from COVID-19 and the global semiconductor chip shortage.
==> picture [37 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Subscriptions
-
Dealerships across most manufacturer brands in the US (and globally) are still observing severe reductions in inventory of 50-90%, with 70-80% falls being commonly cited numbers.
-
As with most supply-related issues, the Company expects a resolution to be forthcoming, albeit not before the end of FY22, as of the date of this report.
22
Economic Drivers
Ongoing FX sensitivity reduced by circa 50% through:
==> picture [95 x 94] intentionally omitted <==
FX
-
Implementing a natural hedge of currency-matching assets and operating expenditure to the extent of available free cash (i.e. converting excess cash into AUD).
-
Implementing a natural hedge of shifting AUDdenominated supply contracts into USD, where possible.
-
Changing the presentational currency of the Company to USD. From a commercial perspective, Connexion is a USfacing organisation and should be analysed as such.
23
Corporate
- Managing Director appointed February 2021, concurrent with a of the Board with two new strengthening
Independent Directors.
- VP of Sales, Group Financial Controller and Lead Developer subsequently appointed.
==> picture [100 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
Team Growth
-
In addition, numerous other technology-related hires since made.
-
Two thirds of Connexion’s team has joined in the past 18 months.
-
This investment is consistent with the Company’s growth strategy of investing for the medium and long term.
24
==> picture [731 x 1080] intentionally omitted <==
Outlook
Connexion continues to invest meaningfully in R&D, with the US$577k invested in FY21 expected to increase meaningfully in FY22.
Virtually all of this R&D investment is expensed through the P&L, lowering reported profitability for the financial years just-reported and subsequent.
Shareholders are encouraged to carefully examine the revenue and gross profit analysis presented in Quarterly Updates, noting controllable and uncontrollable items.
For limited periods, Connexion’s future discretionary investment may potentially exceed the amount of positive operating cashflow. Should this occur, however, it is unlikely to be material relative to the Company’s available net cash.
In recent years, Connexion has developed a consistent track record of tightly managing, and delivering satisfactory returns on, invested capital. This ethos will not change.
The Company’s progress remains consistent with the multi-year plan presented at the 2020 AGM.
