Looking Forward

Corporate activity in FY23

August 2022 DXN received an approach by Flow Digital for the purchase of all its businesses (data centre manufacturing and data centre operations). In September 2022 the proposal was amended to include just the data centre manufacturing business.

In October 2022 it was announced that this transaction would not proceed after a significant condition precedence was not fulfilled.

As announced to the market on 28 November 2022, DXN has signed a licencing and distribution contract with Flow Digital for the manufacture of data centre modules for the international export market. Flow will pay $2m in exclusivity licensing fee. The contract will grow the company’s pipeline significantly, including a minimum of 10 modules per year.

Also announced to the market on 28 November 2022, DXN has signed a consulting agreement to support Flow’s Edge data centre operations across APAC, generating $1.5m in fees over three years.

Strategic Shift

  • On 31 October 2022, DXN announced to the market that it is considering strategic options to sell its data centre assets, thereby removing debt, recapitalising the business and focusing on a positive EBIDTA modular data centre manufacturing business going forward.

• DXN has received non-binding indications of interest to acquire its data centre assets and negotiations are being progressed.

Growth and Focus

• With a strong Australian pipeline, and a solid distribution partner in APAC with Flow, DXN expects growth in the data centre manufacturing business in 2023.

Further details and key terms are in our ASX Announcement dated 28[th] November
