Comments
The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $3,726,232 (31 December 2020: $2,885,347).
Further information on the results is detailed in the 'Review of operations' section of the Directors' report which is part of the Interim Report.
Underlying earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation ('EBITDA') is a financial measure which is not prescribed by the Australian Accounting Standards (‘AASBs’) and represents the loss under AASBs adjusted for specific items, including the change in fair value of convertible notes, impairment of assets, Initial Public Offering ('IPO') costs, finance costs related to convertible notes and share-based payments expense. The directors consider Underlying EBITDA to be one of the key financial measures of the Group.
The following table summarises key reconciling items between statutory after tax result attributable to the shareholders of the Company and Underlying EBITDA:
Loss after income tax Add/(Less): Income tax expense/(benefit) Less: Interest income Add: Interest expense Add: Depreciation Reported EBITDA Add: Impairment of assets (1) Add: Change in fair value of convertible notes (2) Add: Finance costs related to convertible notes (3) Add: Share-based payments expense (4) Underlying EBITDA |

Interim Report - 31 December 2021
EP&T Global Limited Directors' report 31 December 2021
==> picture [82 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
The Directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'Group') consisting of EP&T Global Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2021.
Directors
The following persons were Directors of EP&T Global Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
Jonathan Sweeney Independent Non-Executive Chairman Keith Gunaratne Founder and Executive Director John Balassis Independent Non-Executive Director Victor van Bommel Independent Non-Executive Director
Principal activities
During the financial half-year, the principal continuing activities of the Group was delivering building energy management solutions that reduce energy and water wastage and improve energy efficiency across a wide array of commercial real estate.
Review of operations
The statutory reported loss after income tax benefit for the half-year attributable to the owners of EP&T Global Limited amounted to $3,726,232 (31 December 2020: $2,885,347).
Revenue for the Group was $3,575,400 for the half-year ended 31 December 2021, a 10.93% increase from the half-year ended 31 December 2020. The Group’s Key Operating Metrics, as outlined immediately below, all improved from the corresponding period in 2020.
| 31 Dec 2021 31 Dec 2020 | 31 Dec 2021 31 Dec 2020 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| % | |||
| Annualised Contract Value ('ACV') ($000) | 11,451 | 7,826 | 46% |
| Annualised Recurring Revenue ('ARR') ($000) | 7,209 | 5,280 | 37% |
| Unbilled Contract Value ('UCV') ($000) | 36,678 | 25,605 | 43% |
| Recurring revenue % | 85 | 80 | 6% |
| Number of contracted sites | 404 | 279 | 45% |
During the half-year ended 31 December 2021, ACV increased by $0.6 million (5.7%) to $11.5 million. ACV is calculated as the annualised monthly fees charged under contracts with customers.
Annualised Recurring Revenue ('ARR') represents the annualised amounts being invoiced by EP&T to customers under long term contracts at a point in time. The difference between ACV and ARR is the backlog of projects yet to be fully completed and which are yet to commence invoicing. During the half-year ended 31 December 2021 the backlog has decreased from $4.9 million (30 June 2021) to $3.5 million as a result of progress in installing projects in the Middle East and Australia as COVID-19 restrictions have started to ease. Despite the easing of COVID-19 related restrictions in certain markets, the Group’s ability to convert new contracts into revenue continued to be impacted to some extent during the 6 months ended 31 December 2021, in particular due to global restrictions around building access and travel. These delays do not reduce the total contract value to be derived by the Group, as the contract term only commences when ongoing services are first delivered, however, decreased installation activity impacts the rate of conversion of Annualised Contract Value ('ACV') to Revenue, as billing cannot start until the service is installed. The backlog is an indicator of future ARR growth to be delivered from the pipeline of projects on hand once ongoing services commence. The backlog includes $2.0 million of ACV relating to the 3-year contract with leading asset manager DWS. Installation of sites under the DWS project commenced in the 6 months ended 31 December 2021.
Unbilled Contract Value ('UCV') represents the contracted amounts remaining to be billed by EP&T to customers over the unexpired term of contracts on hand. Over the course of the half-year ended 31 December 2021, UCV has increased to $36.7 million. The average term remaining on all contracts that EP&T has on hand is 3.2 years.
The new contract wins in the half-year ended 31 December 2021 added 19 new buildings to EP&T’s portfolio, increasing the Group’s total contracted buildings to 404.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Going concern
The Group has incurred a loss after tax for the half year ended December 2021 of $3,726,232 (31 December 2020: loss of $2,885,347), underlying EBITDA loss of $2,956,291 (31 December 2020: loss of $142,590) and had net operating cash outflows of $2,923,989 (31 December 2020: outflow of $654,589).

Note 2. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group is organised into four operating segments based on the geographic markets they serve. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments.
The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) for each reportable segment’s measure of profit or loss. In the comparative period the CODM reviewed each reportable segment’s share of statutory profit or loss before tax. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.
The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis. Refer to note 3 for revenue from products and services.
Intersegment transactions
Intersegment transactions were made at market rates. Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Intersegment receivables, payables and loans
Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.

20,696,780 options over ordinary shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are antidilutive for the half-year ended 31 December 2021. These options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares for 2020 has been restated for the effect of the group reorganisation (- 38.44 for -4.51) completed in 19 March 2021, in accordance with AASB 133 'Earnings per share'.
Note 16. Share-based payments
On 17 March 2021, prior to listing on ASX, the Company granted options over ordinary shares to certain Directors, employees and advisors to the Group. These options were not granted under a long term incentive plan, but as a reward to management and employees for the Group’s IPO. As such, the only vesting condition relates to continued employment.
Set out below are summaries of options granted under the plan:

Note 17. Events after the reporting period
The consequences of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are continuing to be felt around the world, and its impact on the Group for the financial half-year ended 31 December 2021 has been reflected in its published results to date. Whilst it would appear that control measures and related government policies, including the roll out of the vaccine, have started to mitigate the risks caused by COVID-19, it is not possible at this time to state that the pandemic will not subsequently impact the Group's operations going forward. The Group now has procedures in place to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 impact on its customers and operations and the experience in the swift implementation of business continuation processes, should future lockdowns of the population occur. These processes continue to evolve to minimise operational disruption and management also continues to monitor the situation both locally and internationally.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance and cash flows for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
