CAPITAL MANAGEMENT.
CONTINUING TO PAY STRONG DIVIDENDS AND PAY OFF DEBT FOR THE NEXTSTAGE OF GROWTH.
Our position:
NET DEBT ($M)
-
In 1H22, net debt was reduced by $25.1m to $41.5m .
-
Leverage ratio[1] = 0.37x as at 31 December 2021 providing significant gearing headroom to support value-accretive acquisitions.
Capital management philosophy:
-
Having considered Hansen’s capital requirements, strong capital structure and liquidity position, the Board has determined an increased interim dividend of 7.0 cents per share, 50% franked, to return money to shareholders is appropriate.
-
The interim dividend comprises of a regular dividend of 5.0 cents per share and a special dividend of 2.0 cents per share, representing a 60% payout ratio for 1H22.
-
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.

CONCLUSION & OUTLOOK.
WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.
CUSTOMERS HAVE REMAINED LOYAL
ACTIVELY ADDRESSING EMPLOYEE CHURN
RECORD REVENUE & PROFITABILITY
UPTICK IN M&A OPPORTUNITIES
-
Average customer length >10 years (top 5 customers using multiple Hansen products).
-
High customer satisfaction evidenced through new customer wins and strategic upgrades and expansions.
-
Limited customer churn (<2%) due to customer investment and entrenchment of Hansen’s mission critical software.
-
Higher staff churn recognised over the global pandemic but stabilised slightly during 1H22.
-
• Hansen is supporting safe and productive home office environments for staff.
-
Flexible working conditions offer a smarter way of working whilst reducing overheads.
-
We are finding and onboarding talent faster through new approaches.
-
Hansen has achieved record revenues, EBITDA, NPATA, EPSa and dividends.
-
Margins have improved due to upfront licenses and cost control efforts performed at the start of the global pandemic.
-
Maintain long-term outlook of $500m revenue by FY25, with target EBITDA margins exceeding 30%.
-
Quality assets were slow to come to market due to travel and due diligence restrictions
-
As these restrictions ease, we are seeing more quality opportunities coming to market
-
Increased interest rates will help to block potential fiscal only (non-value) buyers
We expect FY22 operating revenue to be marginally improved over FY21 excluding Telefonica.
