ASX RELEASE | De.mem Limited (ASX:DEM)
De.mem signs new contracts in move to service-based business model
15 September 2021: Australian-Singaporean water and waste water treatment company De.mem (ASX:DEM) (“De.mem” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the signing of 2 new service and Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (“BOOT”) contracts, contributing to the Company’s objective of growing recurring revenues.
New contracts
The two new contracts are summarised below.
-
An Operations & Maintenance contract for approx. $300,000 in revenues per annum, commencing immediately, whereby De.mem will operate & maintain the water treatment facilities of an Australian holiday resort. The customer’s facilities incorporate an existing, membrane-based water treatment process.
-
A Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (“BOOT”) contract for approx. $400,000 in revenues per annum, commencing March 2022, whereby De.mem will design, manufacture, commission, operate & maintain a membrane based water treatment plant for an industrial customer in Australia. The treatment plant incorporates De.mem’s Ultrafiltration membrane technology as its key treatment process. The membrane technology to be deployed is an environmentally friendly, low energy consumption filtration process that delivers superior treatment results.
Growing recurring revenues
De.mem has continuously grown its recurring revenue segments, driving overall revenue growth.
Whilst not individually material relative to overall group cash receipts/revenues (approx. $15 million in revenues in CY2020), these two new contracts highlight De.mem’s transition to a stable, recurring, servicebased revenue model, driven by the Company’s unique technology portfolio and customer service offering.
Group revenues continue their strong growth:
-
40% CY 2020 growth (vs CY2019);
-
44% H1 2021 (vs prior corresponding half H1 2020).
See ASX release, “ Record Growth in H1 2021 ”, dated 28 August 2021.
Meanwhile, recurring receipts are generating a greater proportion of total revenues. Recurring cash receipts have increased from 38% of total in CY2018 to ~65% total revenue in H1 2021. Chart 1 illustrates this growing recurring cash receipts trend.
