New revenue from new clients
-
Clearly differentiate our cloud based offering
-
Focus the sales approach:
==> picture [27 x 28] intentionally omitted <==

In Summary…

Observability is a large and growing market opportunity ($28B by 2027)
-
IR has a proven, established offering and a global blue chip client base
-
Generate more new client revenue by creating new capabilities

21
FY25 Priorities & Observations
-
New product capabilities to launch in 2H FY25 and ongoing
-
Innovation via IR Labs to accelerate
-
Value of FY25 contract renewals softer than FY24 and weighted to 2H
-
Targeting improving renewal rate for Collaborate, to wash through off the back of
-
focus on ICP
-
Value of sales pipeline attributable to new clients/revenue expected to continue to lift
-
Revenue contribution from new clients/revenue to improve in line with the current sales cycle
==> picture [27 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [67 x 200] intentionally omitted <==
- The effective tax rate is expected to normalise in FY25 given brought forward R&D tax credits utilised in FY24
22
Our strengths are considerable…
-
Foundational elements of IR’s business remain critically valuable:
-
Independence : IR is a specialist monitoring technology provider, not a vendor
-
Aggregation : the Enterprise technology supply chain is becoming more fragmented and more complicated - IR aggregates multiple vendors into a single view encompassing on-premises and cloud based solutions
-
Vendor agnostic : IR remains vendor agnostic, compatible with dozens of global
- technology vendors including those with the largest market share
==> picture [27 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [67 x 200] intentionally omitted <==
-
IR has market leading knowledge and expertise (we can execute)
-
IR has a superior client register (we are trusted)
23
Vision…
To become the world’s leading independent provider of business critical technology & infrastructure intelligence.

| Glossary | |
|---|---|
| Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) | equals to the monthly recurring revenue at the end of the period multiplied by 12. |
| Cash conversion rate | equals cash receipts divided by proforma revenue. |
| Customer retention | equals the opening customer count for the reporting period less customers who are deemed to cease purchasing from IR in the reporting period; this total is then divided by the opening balance and presented in percentage terms. |
| Proforma subscription revenue | provides an alternate view of underlying performance by restating term licence on a recurring subscription basis (i.e., over time) plus other recurring revenues such as maintenance fees and cloud services. Note: the current statutory model recognises licence fee revenue upfront at the commencement of the contract. |
| Net revenue retention | equals recurring revenue generated from existing customers over a set period. |
| Proforma revenue | equals proforma subscription revenueplus other non-recurring revenue streams such as perpetual licence fees, professional services and one-time through testing services |
| Total Contract Value (TCV) | means the total value of a revenue generating contract written in the period of performance less any residual value from a previous related contract. The value includes software licence and related maintenance, cloud, testing and consulting services bookings. |
| Capacity sell | existing products sold to existing customers due to increase in usage, sometimes referred to as upsell. |

(1) Proforma revenue provides a non-statutory alternate view of underlying performance by restating term license fee revenue to be on a recurring subscription basis (i.e., over time), rather than upfront at the commencement of a contract, per the statutory view. Other recurring revenues such as maintenance fees and cloud services, as well as other non-recurring revenue streams such as perpetual licenses, professional services and one-time testing services are consistently treated, as part of proforma and statutory revenue views.
