Commentary
During FY20 as part of its strategy to become a global leader in delivering innovative digital solutions, products and services in the enterprise asset management (EAM) sector, COSOL acquired COSOL Australia Pty Ltd and listed on the ASX. COSOL’s FY20 financial performance, coupled with a series of new major client wins and growth in the use of its proprietary digital IP data migration platform RPConnect®, provides a strong platform to continue to grow the business into FY21.
COSOL Non-Executive Chairman, Geoff Lewis, commented “The 2020 financial year has been a challenging year for society and businesses, and while COSOL adapted to protect the health and wellbeing of our staff and preserve client relationships, we maintained a focus on delivering shareholder value and positioning the business for growth.
The performance of our operating business is a reflection of the skills and expertise of the COSOL Australia team led by Scott McGowan. They are to be congratulated for their efforts in adapting our delivery model to cater for the impacts being felt in our clients’ businesses, while continuing to grow COSOL’s digital IP revenue by winning new business with clients such as the Australian Defence Force and CleanCo Queensland Limited[ii] .
The COSOL team is focused on the year ahead as we build on the great results of FY20. We will continue to deliver innovative, effective and trusted enterprise asset management solutions, and work to grow the business through greater penetration into the market of COSOL’s industryleading IP while expanding our reach into new markets.”
FY21 outlook
Through the swift adoption of flexible working models and engaging closely with our clients and partners, COSOL has not experienced a negative financial impact or a deterioration in its business development opportunities from the COVID-19 pandemic. COSOL remains optimistic that the business will continue to perform strongly in FY21 driven by organic growth from wining new and expanded client work, the continued investment in and deployment of its proprietary digital IP, and the potential acquisition of complementary and synergistic businesses.
