ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Energy One Completes the acquisition of the pypIT software business
Energy One Limited (ASX:EOL) has completed the acquisition of the pypIT software business from Sydac Pty Limited (as announced 30 May 2015) :
-
Purchase price $1,500,000, to be funded from cash
-
Software business engaged in the scheduling of gas transmission rights for major gas pipelines
-
Customer list includes 5 major pipelines in Australia
-
Opportunity to service gas shippers (gas retailers, end users etc.) with other product offerings
Energy One has paid $1,500,000 to purchase the customer contracts and software assets of pypIT from existing cash reserves, initially bringing approximately $572,000 annual revenues and approximately $381,000 EBITDA to the Company.
pypIT is a business providing software and services to Australia’s major gas transmission gas pipelines. All of Australia’s major energy companies utilise gas transmission pipelines to fulfil their end use or retail gas supply requirements.
The pypIT software allows customers of gas (gas shippers) to place order nominations onto the pipelines for the transmission of bulk gas, to have those nominations scheduled and to receive and settle invoices for transportation.
The pypIT software is used by major pipelines located in NSW, Victoria, SA and WA. Approximately 40% of Australia’s domestic gas flows through these pipelines.
Customers for the pypIT software include blue-chip organisations; Jemena, SEAGas, the DampierBunbury pipeline and other gas infrastructure pipeline assets in Tasmania and South Australia.
The acquisition by Energy One will provide corporate, financial and marketing resources to the pypIT business and extend market and potentially further service the needs of shippers and pipelines through access to Energy One’s extended suite of products.
For further information on the acquisition please refer to the attached presentation.
About pypIT
The software integrates with existing systems such as SCADA and SAP and manages the end-to-end business needs of gas transmission, including shipper nominations, scheduling and apportionment, invoicing and reporting. It also automates the traditional manual methods of performing these functions, which are prone to errors and are highly reliant on the skills and process knowledge of individuals. It therefore provides the standardisation and auditing ability that is lacking in manual entry systems.

The acquisition provides a strategic addition to EOL’s stable of products
The acquisition is aimed at expanding Energy One’s strategic presence in gas markets.
When combined with the Company’s existing gas products, Energy One software will be responsible for facilitating the transport of 40% of the domestic . gas in Australia’s pipeline networks*

German Knorr Bremse Group).
Sydac is a world leader in driver
training (trains, trucks, buses etc.)

Combining pypIT with our existing products will create a seamless process for scheduling the transportation of gas
EOL’s current software products manage, for large gas customers (known as ‘shippers’), the contractual and nomination processes for the movement and delivery of gas to a specific point on a given pipeline.
The pypIT software receives, on behalf of pipeline operators, these gas nominations processing them in order to schedule the gas for delivery. The platform also issues invoices and manages settlements for these transactions.
The combination of Energy Flow and pypIT can provide a value-add for large industrial gas shippers* by providing a seamless way to manage their entire gas transportation needs and managing their nomination process and, at the same time, providing the operators of the gas pipelines a more efficient and seamless way of receiving and managing the nominations and scheduling process.

And moving gas from one place to another is complicated..
As this snapshot of just the Wallumbilla Gas hub shows, shippers are required to navigate an array of contractual and physical network factors in order to acquire and costeffectively transport their gas.
Each transaction requires optimization of these factors, nomination to market/counterparty and settlement processes.
