Building analytics company EP&T Global Limited (ASX: EPX) is pleased to announce it will commence trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) today at 11.00am following its successful completion of an Initial Public Offer (IPO) which raised gross proceeds of $11 million.
Founded in 1993, EP&T delivers building energy management solutions that reduce energy and water wastage and improve energy efficiency within commercial real estate.
EP&T issued 47,500,000 new shares at $0.20 per share as part of its $11 million IPO, giving it an indicative market capitalisation of $37.2 million upon listing. In addition, 7,500,000 existing shares held by the company’s founder, Keith Gunaratne, were sold through retail and institutional offers to ensure adequate free float, shareholder spread and liquidity.
EP&T Chief Executive Officer Trent Knox said the company’s ASX listing comes at a time when there is increased pressure for buildings to meet tighter emissions targets.
EP&T’s main offering is the EDGE Intelligent System, which gathers data from multiple sources such as utility meters, sub metering, sensors, weather data, occupancy tracking systems and building management systems. The data is then aggregated, uploaded to the cloud and analysed, enabling EP&T’s engineers to collaborate with building managers and respond to energy faults and wastage.
The company has a domestic and international blue-chip client base of more than 300 commercial buildings across 18 countries. EP&T has a proven track record of delivering annualised energy savings of 22% across the portfolio.
EP&T’s management has a track record of delivering growth, having achieved compound Annualised Contract Value[1] growth between June 2018 and June 2020 of 24 per cent. EP&T’s current Annualised Contract Value is $8.5 million with a promising sales pipeline to further execute on.
The company sees further opportunity for expansion, after an independent industry report produced for EP&T by Frost & Sullivan estimated the global Building Energy Management Systems market was approximately $5.93 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $9.54 billion by 2025.
