Annual Contract Value (ACV A$m)

ACV grew by $0.2m for the period July to October 2024, with net ACV now at $16.3m. The period of July to October is traditionally a slower period due to the European and Middle Eastern summer period, where now over 70% of revenue is derived by the business.

This ACV growth is better than the same corresponding period in FY24, where during that period sales were flat. During July to October, there has been positive momentum in our sales pipeline. EP&T’s sales pipeline is building with both new customer opportunities and existing customers, showing positive signals leading into the traditionally stronger periods for the business.

New customer opportunities of note include:

  • New contract for initially one site with a major Australian world-class property and real estate advisory services business, which provides advice and management to a diverse range of private, institutional, and government clients across Australia. They are part of a global brand in real estate advisory. EP&T is in discussion for further of their Australian managed sites and supports our strategy of targeting global brands with many managed or owned sites in multiple jurisdictions.

  • EP&T has been engaged by a new customer being a leading UK merchant banking entity listed on the FTSE. Initially EP&T will design for 14 of their 60 UK locations for the EDGE technology solution to support their continued commitment to reducing the impact of their building operations on the environment.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR A$m)

ARR grew by $0.25m from June 2024, for the period between July to October 2024. ARR growth is driven by a combination of factors, including obtaining site access, management of third party installation contractors, and commissioning/system integration ease with existing site systems.

The current installation process continues to be maintained under 90 days, which is the internal targeted benchmark. ARR is a good future indicator of future cashflow for the business.
