Revenue commentary

Significant interdependencies:

Software & Infrastructure revenues depend on Services

  • Mandatory technical accreditations & certifications with key vendor partners
  • Ability to design, deploy & support vendor offerings is essential
  • Approx. 500 technical staff provide competitive advantage & barrier to entry
  • Customer adoption & customer experience require ongoing Services involvement
  • Vendor rebates are shifting to Services

62% recurring revenue:

Committed revenue under term-based contracts approximately \$1,220M

  • Comprised of Software & Support Services
  • Excludes revenue under contract that is not 'locked in'
  • Significant proportion is public cloud (approx. \$750M)
  • Government and large corporate customers

Revenue commentary

Opportunities for accelerating Services growth:

Consulting

Positioned for expansion and profitable growth

Project Services

Increase in large integration project activity

Managed Services

  • Transformational change completed in FY21
  • Maturation of offerings following previous investment
  • Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Services Provider certification

Gross margin and Gross profit

Overall Gross Margin % varies with the changing revenue mix.

  • Strong growth in software licensing and public cloud revenues relative to services in recent years.
  • Accelerated services growth will boost total Gross Profit \$ and should also increase the blended Gross Margin %.

Gross Margin % within each business unit has remained relatively stable.

Changing vendor rebate programs will increasingly reward Services.

Objective is to deliver steady, sustained growth in total Gross Profit \$

Operating leverage

Short term factors:

  • Supply chain constraints expected to continue throughout FY22
  • Increased wage pressure and resource constraints
  • Partial return to pre-COVID operating models, including some increase in travel expense
  • Investment in new Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP platform

Longer term drivers:

  • Considerable leverage opportunity, especially in Services:
  • Managed Services adding new contracts on relatively fixed cost base, and selective use of off-shore resource
  • Project Services higher utilisation and accelerated growth
  • Consulting higher utilisation, growth and optimising the resource mix
  • Infrastructure & Software capacity to transact higher volumes without increasing the cost base
  • Productivity improvements from new ERP system

Sustained earnings growth and shareholder return

High dividend payout ratio

Average payout approx. 90%

Substantial growth in market capitalisation

  • \$732M at 30/6/21
  • S&P/ASX 300 index (XKO)
  • S&P/ASX All Technology index (XTX)

Strong total shareholder return

  • 26.7% TSR for FY21
  • 45% average TSR for past 7 years

Strong financial position

Strong balance sheet with no borrowings.

Efficient working capital model, with short or negative working capital cycle:

  • Low inventory, allocated to customer orders or projects
  • Average collection cycle of 28 days
  • Favourable trade terms with suppliers

Stable working capital position, despite significant seasonal fluctuations at year end.

Traditional 4Q revenue spike inflates trade receivables & trade payables at 30 June, and generates large temporary cash surpluses.

Cash flow 'seasonality' due to timing differences in collections and payments around 30 June. This usually generates operating cash inflow in second half, and outflow in first half.

High cash conversion 182%## over last 7 years (FY15 to FY21).

Low capital expenditure.

Underlying 'free cash' is typically in the \$10 to \$20M range.

High dividend payout of approximately 90%.

Total Free Cash Flow \$221M / Total NPAT \$121M = 182%
