1H17 revenue of $86.9m was $12.9m (17.5%) higher than 1H16:

  • Underlying[1] billing revenue increased $3.2m or 4.5% on a constant currency basis

  • FX movements resulted in a $4.4m reduction in revenue – with GBP weakness the main contributing factor

  • $1.6m lower revenue from our non-core facilities management/other business – with $1.3m of the reduction due to the expected movement of our only superannuation fund client to a mainstream system provider (which will be $2.7m for FY2017)

  • The acquisition of the US-based Solutions business effective 1 July 2016 contributed $14.7m for the half

  • The acquisition of the UK-based HiAffinity business effective 1 November 2016 contributed $1.1m in the 2-month period

Current growth drivers

Pay TV – Emerging Markets

Multi-Service Convergence

Digitisation

Power of Choice

  • Australia

Electricity deregulation – Japan

  • DTH (Direct to Home) digital signals, combined with a burgeoning middle class in emerging markets, are significant demand drivers for satellite pay TV subscription services  Our ICC product is a leading solution in the market for pay TV operators

  • Digital network operators are expanding the services they offer to include the full spectrum of broadband, mobile, fixed-line telephony and pay TV

  • Creates billing complexity and the need for more sophisticated systems

  • The turning off of analogue services in favour of digital transmission and the issue of new licences to new participants (particularly in emerging markets) creates the need for new systems  Provides opportunities for our NaviBilling and ICC products

  • Energy Retailers (rather than Distributors) will have choice of meter provider – enabling them to provide different pricing structures to consumers

  • Drives the need for Distributors, Retailers and new market entrants to have compliant systems to support this initiative – providing the opportunity for development services and new deployments

  • Effective April 2016, new entrants can enter the Japanese retail electricity market, enabling consumers to choose their power supplier

  • Partnering with Toshiba in this market

We love change, competition and complexity
