ASX Announcement (ASX: EPX)

CEO’S AGM ADDRESS

Fellow Shareholders, firstly thank you for your support during FY23. As well as being in the CEO role for you, I am also a shareholder too, and your support is welcomed. I believe the market is being a little unkind to our Company, but I guess the market is much larger than us, so we just have to keep working hard to get the word out on how our Company today is different to the one that first entered the market.

Whilst we have more work to do, the effort put in by all our wonderful staff over the past 12 months is continuing to improve our business, and in my view positioning it to continue to grow. One of the key strategic imperatives I and my fellow executives have set for FY24 is to “get the secret out” as to the benefits EP&T’s proprietary technology can deliver.

Today, I would like to touch on a few items pertaining to FY23, as well as an outline FY24 Outlook.

Overview

  • The general macro business environment for our technology continues to show long term opportunities to grow and achieve its full potential, including:

  • Energy prices continue to stay high, and in my view will stay higher for longer for various reasons, not least of which being the speed at which new generation infrastructure can be built.

  • Data accuracy and precision is fundamental for all commercial real estate owners and managers, as they seek to navigate the continuous legislative changes surrounding ESG reporting; and

  • Our customers continue to seek flexibility in operating their properties, as their tenants and users change their needs

  • EP&T’s proprietary technology continues to remain relevant in this environment. This is evidenced by our EDGE platform delivering building efficiency, globally, to now over 25 countries and is a trusted source of data for over 500 sites.

  • We continue to achieve, on average, 21% energy savings for our customers and have a track record of doing this consistently for many years, contributing to emissions reduction; and

  • Our customers continue to win global environmental awards, ably assisted by EP&T’s technology.

EP&T Global Limited ACN – 645 144 314 Suite 11.02, 213 Miller Street, North Sydney, NSW 2060

Key achievements in FY23

Outlined in EP&T’s Annual Report releases are the detailed results, but in summary, FY23 key achievements were:

  • Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growing 26% to $11.7m, which is a CAGR of 32% since IPO

  • Statutory revenue increased 50% to $10.6m, which is a CAGR of 32% since IPO.

  • Annual Contract Value (ACV) a reflection of future ARR, grew by 9% to $14.4m, which is a CAGR of 22% since IPO.

  • Recurring revenue represented 89% of FY23 revenue continuing our trend and process of converting the business from a capex led revenue business to a recurring revenue business.

  • As at 30 June, the company was just shy of achieving monthly run rate operating cashflow breakeven[1] , after implementing a cost reduction drive to better align the organisation structure to customer needs. This milestone was achieved at the September 2023 quarterly result;

  • Underlying EBITDA loss was reduced despite some one-off costs associated with restructuring the management team and in implementing cost efficiencies in our operating cost base, reduced the Underlying EBITDA loss to approx. ($3.6m) being a 44% improvement to FY22; and

  • Considerable work went into re-defining the product suite, to now have a clearer go to market product fit. This included the introduction of a new product, EDGE Certifi, which grew over 50% in its first few months of launch.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)

ARR delivery was a key focus area during FY23. It is fair to say, we did not do it well, at a time when EP&T grew its monitored net lettable area quite substantially. Simply put, our processes were found wanting.

During FY23 we allocated time and investment to refine some key processes. It also required the understanding and support of key large customers, particularly in Europe. We worked collaboratively with affected customers and with some goodwill and hard work, I believe we now have a better process, capable of allowing the business to meet its stated installation time frames. This was recently evidenced with a key large existing European customer inviting EP&T to assess the returns on embarking on Stage 2 of their Active Energy Management program, following the near completion of their Stage 1 programme which EP&T has delivered.

Annual Contract Value (ACV)

With the effort in FY23 to drive the business more efficiently, grow ARR and Statutory Revenue, and reduce the company cash burn rate, it has had a knock-on impact on our ACV growth.

As shareholders have noted, FY23 ACV growth was 9%. This lower than desired growth was necessary to allow the business time to right size itself, as growing quicker would have resulted in

1 Monthly operating cashflow is defined as monthly operating cash inflows (being receipts from operations and other revenue) less monthly operating cash outflows (being ordinary operating costs of the business including employment costs, direct cost of goods sold, occupancy, marketing, corporate and other operating costs) but excluding new project deployment costs and other investing and financing cash flows.

2

a potentially longer timeline to hitting operating cashflow breakeven, and less focus on making the company more scale ready.

It also allowed the business time to refine it’s go to market product suite, aligned to our customers’ journey in achieving their sustainability objectives. Whilst still a work in progress, the early signs are encouraging. During FY23 we released EDGE Certifi, which grew over 50% during FY23. Whilst it is off a small base, it is encouraging to see the market respond to EP&T’s continued desire to be the world’s most trusted energy efficiency platform provider.

Outlook

Our first quarter results for the quarter ending 30 September 2023 show a key milestone being reached in the company achieving operating cashflow breakeven and hitting its projected ARR inflection point of $12.2m. Whilst we still have work to do, this is a positive milestone for the business.

We have also recently released our focus for the remaining of FY24, being Projected ACV of between $16.0-$17.0m and Projected ARR of $13.5m. To assist in achieving this, our three core strategic objectives are:

Operating Cashflow management

Continuing to focus on Operating Cashflows through:

  • Managing gross margins, within an environment were operating costs are increasing.

  • Further reducing ACV backlog and minimising the time of installations.

  • Continued vigilance on our operating cost base.

Operational excellence

Our leading market differentiator of accurate and actionable data, which we consider is leading class, to be further improved, through:

  • product suite enhancements to keep supporting our customers’ needs.

  • continued rollout of our new project installation process for faster connection of sites to our EDGE platform.

  • improved service standards, via the introduction of Customer Success and Customer Delivery functions to support our growing customer base.

Customer focussed execution.

During H2 FY23 we made some changes to our sales team. These are now complete and our focus for FY24 is on:

  • Executing our FY24 sales plan, which in the main is tied to key verticals in which we have a strong core offering.

  • Converting a good sales pipeline, mainly supporting existing customers.

  • Evolving our product suite as our customer needs evolve, offering various entry levels to our EDGE platform, from a data only monitoring service to meet ESG requirements all the way through to our premium guaranteed savings product which on average continues to deliver 21% savings.

  • Getting our brand out in the market to showcase our EDGE technology.

3

In summary

  • We continue to improve the business to be able to better support our customers as they grow;

  • The company’s proprietary technology continues to perform at an international level, with all markets showing signs of growth.

  • Our technology continues to consistently deliver energy savings and assist customers to win prestigious energy optimisation awards.

  • We work with some of the largest owners and managers of commercial real estate around the world; and

  • Our financial and operating performance metrics are improving at a time when our forward sales opportunity pipeline is healthy.

To my fellow directors, I would like to thank them for supporting and guiding me. We are a small director team and the challenges thrown up to a small cap company are not always easy to solve, but we do get there and for this I wish to thank them for being ready to roll up their sleeves.

Finally, it would be remiss of me not to thank both Jonathan and Keith specifically. As the Chair has stated, both Jonathan and Keith are to step down from the board as outlined in the AGM notice.

To Jonathan, thank you for your guidance, particularly for a CEO with limited previous exposure to ASX small cap entities. Your guidance has been invaluable and I am grateful for this.

To Keith, thank you also for your wise counsel, particularly in the technology space. As founder you have often taken a pragmatic approach in transitioning the business and I thank you for this given the roles you have and continue to hold. I look forward to continuing to work with you at the Executive level.

A copy of the slides that accompany this address are appended to this announcement.

This announcement has been authorised for release to ASX by the Board of Directors of EP&T Global Limited.

APPENDIX FY23 – SUMMARY FINANCIAL REPORT

FY23 Financial Results

Profit and Loss Summary

  • Total Revenue of $10.6 million is a 50% increase on the prior year – underscoring the turnaround and demand for EP&T's EDGE product.

  • Recurring subscription revenue has increased by 49% to $9.4 million. Recurring revenue accounted for 89% of total revenue in FY23.

  • Projects revenue increased by 122% to $1.0 million as EP&T took the opportunity to execute such contracts where the revenue cash inflows fund the installation cash outflows.

  • Other income in FY23 is impacted by the timing of the R&D grant which is projected[1] to be received in October 2023.

  • Operating expenses increased by 10% to $15.7m in FY22, with the main contributor being the increase in activity to clear the project backlog and convert ACV to recurring revenue.

  • It is EP&T policy not to capitalise internal labour costs as project assets and hence expenses directly to the Profit and Loss each year.

  • There were several one-off costs impacting the EBITDA result as the business focused on restructuring the management structure during H1 FY23 and implementing cost control initiatives in H2 FY23 resulting in:

  • Restructure and termination costs in Q4 FY23, which are projected to benefit the FY24 cost base going forward.

FY23 Financial Results

C ash flow Summary

  • Cash receipts of $12.1 million for FY23 up 55% ($4.3 million) – reflecting the 50% growth in revenue.

  • Payments to suppliers and employees increased 17% in FY23. A key focus has been operational efficiency, and this is supported by a 50% growth in cash receipts against only a 17% increase in the spend to achieve it.

  • Other operating cash flows decreased due to a lower R&D grant in FY23.

  • Investing cash flows relate to project implementation costs for projects installed or partially installed. This investment supports future revenues from ongoing fees for new projects when complete.

  • Financing cash flows in FY23 are for the equity raisings in the first half of the financial year.
