ASX Announcement
CEO Quarterly update
Since commencing at DXN on 19 August, I have worked with the team to make sure that our focus is on capital management and winning new customers. DXN has a unique position in the Modular DC Market, providing a complete end to end solution for the manufacture and deployment of containerised modular data centre solutions from design, build, commission, operation and ongoing maintenance over its life. We do this for both ourselves and external customers efficiently and at a competitive price point. With the strong demand for modular data centres, DXN is very well positioned for sustained growth. We have launched a dedicated Investor Portal to assist us in more timely and regular communications to the market.
Over the last 10 weeks we have managed to achieve a large number of key milestones;
-
SYD01 Data Centre Ready for Service

SYD01 Data Centre accredited as Tier III from the Uptime Institute;

SYD01 The first Tier III containerised Modular Data Centre in the world;

Sales
Colocation Division
With the Data Centre in Sydney now open for business, the team has been heavily focussed on finalising contract negotiations with a number of customers and site tours.

The additional security overlay for the data centre is currently in progress and is due for completion before December 2019, which will greatly assist in contract finalisation. The data centre team have increased the number of reseller partner agreements with new partners signed up in the quarter, including a multi-national commercial real estate company. The Company aims to provide quarterly sales update commencing January 2020.
Modular Division
The team has experienced a strong increase in customer demand with a number of new opportunities taking the pipeline from circa $200m to well over $300m in the last 10 weeks. With the official departure of Flex Enclosure from the market creating an increase in demand for prefabricated data centres, DXN has had positive impact with international customer interests as DXN is able to step in and fill the void left behind. Customers are also requesting long term maintenance contracts alongside the Modular DC’s, which is increasing our market opportunity, providing long term annuity contracts attached to our modular sales.
DXN is in the process of finalising a number of material agreements which we are expecting to close before the end of November and will make further announcements as contracts are executed.
