FY21 FINANCIAL SUMMARY.
ANOTHER YEAR OF RECORD GROWTH FOR HANSEN.
-
FY21 was another record year of growth for Hansen, with outstanding performance across all financial metrics:
-
Revenue growth driven by new customer wins and successful project upgrades with our existing customer base.
-
EBITDA margin enhanced by upfront revenue of the Telefonica contract, contributing $21m in FY21 under IFRS15 revenue recognition.

Strong cash conversion with $70.1m of free cash flow (from $44.2m in FY20) enabling investment in products and retirement of debt.
-
Hansen’s ability to generate strong cash flows has translated to a dividend amounting to 5 cents per share, taking total dividends for FY21 to 10.0 cents.
-
We continue to focus on profitability and operational leverage as the business grows, in addition to identifying potential M&A opportunities.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT.
CONTINUING TO PAY STRONG DIVIDENDS AND PAY OFF DEBT FOR THE NEXTSTAGE OF GROWTH.
NET DEBT ($M)
Our position:
-
In FY21, net debt was reduced by $49.9m to $66.6m.
-
Leverage ratio[1] = 0.55x as at 30 June 2021.
-
Well supported by banks with new facility negotiated with lower margin interest rates and improved structure.
-
Board is comfortable with gearing levels of 3.0x – 3.5x net debt / EBITDA to support valueaccretive acquisition growth.

Capital management philosophy:
DIVIDEND (Cents)
-
Having considered Hansen’s capital requirements, strong capital structure and liquidity position, the Board has paid a final dividend of 5.0 cents per share which is appropriate; this is 54% franked and represents a 25% payout ratio[2] for FY21.
-
Level of dividend is at the discretion of the Board subject to available cash and activity being undertaken at the time – as and when acquisition growth opportunities are executed, this dividend may be reduced to allocate capital to our acquisition growth strategy.
-
Hansen’s strong cash generation means that even with this strong dividend payment we have the cash flows to invest in our products and fund acquisitions.

POSITIVE LONG-TERM OUTLOOK.
REAFFIRMING OUR LONG-TERM GUIDANCE.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
TECHNOLOGY OUTLOOK
-
Hansen is not been immune to the global labour shortage and is actively investing to minimise the impact by:
-
Driven by our product investment, we are currently experiencing greater adoption of our technology suite.
-
1) Increasing the size of our recruitment team.
-
2) Increasing the speed to competency for new staff.
- Globally, 100% of new customer wins in the past year selected Hansen’s latest software versions, of which the majority adopted our SaaS and/or cloud offering.
-
3) Establishing new labour centres in strategic geographic locations.
-
Notwithstanding, we expect FY22 operating revenue to be marginally improved over FY21 excluding Telefonica.
-
In APAC, c. 55% of existing customer renewals in the past year upgraded to Hansen’s latest software versions, of which c. 67% adopted our SaaS and/or cloud offering.
-
Long-term average customer churn maintained at <3%.
We remain confident in achieving our FY25 financial target of $500m of revenue and EBITDA margin exceeding 30%.
