Cash flow statement
Cash conversion remains strong despite short term impacts in FY18
Commentary • High proportion of earnings are converted to cash • Strong cash flows support a high dividend pay-out (91% of cash NPAT in FY18) • Cash conversion in FY18 has shown a marginal decline due to the impact of the strong final quarter sales, particularly in Asia, which will be collected in the first quarter, and the impact of acquisitions with a slower cash conversion cycle. None of these factors represent a permanent structural decline.

WiseTime
Delivery of a new product offering
About A new autonomous timekeeping platform WiseTime that produces accurate records of an employee’s time throughout their day, without needing their input.
WiseTime’s competitive advantage
==> picture [198 x 41] intentionally omitted <==
• WiseTime A 1-year pilot of WiseTime with a group of ~10 attorneys completed July 2018.
-
pilot results
-
positive
-
The most recent iteration produced observable time efficiency gains of ~10%.
-
Recent firm-wide trial rollouts at law firms in Germany and Singapore have reported similar efficiency gains.
Existing time keeping tools in the market tend to rely on a ‘start/stop’ timer or ledger that require the employee to spend time estimating and allocating time for their activities.
In contrast, WiseTime autonomously collects time spent on activities, resulting in:
-
the client receiving more accurate and granular charge reporting; and
-
the service professional improving their efficiency in providing their service.
-
WiseTime also provides (i) uncompromising user privacy (ii) integration to targeted existing case-management/billing systems in a manner that can replace or augment existing mechanisms, and (iii) is proven in the professional services environment.
Target The reshaped Practice Insight sales team is market now focused solely on promoting WiseTime into the IP law firm market and progressing partnerships into the broader legal services software providers on the back of continued evidence of its efficacy.
