ASX Announcement | 26 August 2021
Linius Market Update to Investors
Linius Technologies Limited (ASX: LNU) (Linius or Company) is pleased to attach a copy of its latest investor presentation and market update.
Linius has validated Video Virtualization in its core markets, being Education, Sports and Business, and secured significant annual recurring revenue.
Linius is a SaaS business that is wholly focused on driving Annual Recuring Revenue (ARR).
The webinar and presentation focused on two key, huge addressable markets; Education and Sports. A further update on the Business sector will be provided shortly.
Linius for Education:
-
3-year agreement with University of Newcastle followed a successful trial of Linius’ learning product Whizzard, resulting in a ‘trial-in-a-box’ acceleration plan now underway and several other universities committed to trial the product.
-
The addressable market is over 1 million students and over 49,000 academic teaching staff across 41 Australian universities. These universities together have a total $2.3 billion annual IT spend (in 2019), growing at ~8% p.a. (1)
-
Linius has determined that winning the prioritised 20 universities as per the company’s targeting strategy, with 769k students and 40k teachers would represent Annual Recurring Revenues in the region of AU$15 million per year, plus material revenue from data packs. (2)
Linius for Sports:
-
Linius is generating ARR from clients including NBL and Racing.com, and from partners, Swanbay (EPL Club Wolverhampton Wanderers).
-
Wolves is Swanbay’s first client to launch their highlights solution to its entire fan base, following a successful trial in Mar-Apr 2021. Swanbay’s solution utilises Linius Video Services (LVS) and is redeployable to other EPL Clubs and sports rights holders.
-
Linius has partnered with AWS, Stats Perform and Slalom in the development and delivery of a new product, the Linius Sports FX Widget. The widget is frictionless from both an economic and technology perspective. Near term sales focus of the widget, is football within Europe, followed by global leagues and clubs.

Acceleration Plan
==> picture [118 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
We have determined that winning the prioritised 20 universities, with 769k students and 40k teachers would represent Annual Recurring Revenues:
-
in the region of AU$15 million per year #
-
plus material revenue from data packs
The University of Newcastle (UoN) is a site wide deal, with 3 years plus term.
UoN:
-
39,137 students currently enrolled across 121 countries (2)
-
2,859 staff (2)
-
providing possible annual recurring revenues for in excess 40,000 monthly licenses *
-
plus data packs, plus potential new use cases
Based on the sales process learnings we have launched the trial-in-a-box program to accelerate trial adoption and conversion to sale; designed to take universities from initial engagement with Linius, through testing, to contract and roll out.
Further universities are now committed to the Linius trial-in-a-box program.

- 490,000 x 24 x 0.022 (rate card cost pm) = $25,782 per month
Near term focus is football within Europe, followed by global leagues and clubs.
