Mach7 Technologies Limited (“Mach7” or the “Company”) (ASX:M7T), a company specialising in innovative medical imaging software solutions, today provides its full-year results for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Mach7 CEO and Managing Director Mike Lampron said: “FY24 has been a transformational year for Mach7 as we laid the foundation for future growth. We achieved our FY24 guidance for sales orders, revenue and opex growth and were also cashflow positive, a significant achievement as we transform our sales model. We also delivered record results and strong growth in CARR and ARR. At financial year end, Mach7 is in a strong financial position with no debt and a cash balance of A$26.2M, its highest level in four years.
“Looking ahead to FY25, our priorities will centre around the addition of net new logos as our pipeline continues to grow and generate opportunities across multiple geographies and product combinations. We will also undertake targeted investment in our people, processes and tools to further differentiate Mach7 from its competitors. This investment will focus on product innovation and reflect a customercentric mindset.
“It will also reflect our business objectives of providing outstanding enterprise solutions while driving recurring revenue growth and maintaining the focus on our path to profitability. This investment will also enable us to take advantage of opportunities that play to our strengths as the medical imaging landscape continues to evolve.”

Mach7 has delivered record sales orders of A$61.3M TCV, up A$21.0M or 52% on pcp. This strong result exceeded our initial FY24 guidance for sales orders of A$48M. Sales order guidance was revised to over A$60M for FY24 on 24 January 2024.
Chart 1 compares the composition of sales orders since FY21 as Mach7 has secured larger customers and expanded into new market segments. It highlights the growth in Subscription sales orders during the period as customers increasingly chose this model over the Capital model, especially in North America. FY24 represents a step change for Mach7 with sales orders heavily weighted toward Subscription and Maintenance and Support contracts.

Sales order composition for FY24 is shown below.
-
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)-type sales of A$50.9M (83% of sales orders) were 120% higher on pcp (FY23: A$23.1M, 58% of sales orders) and represents Subscription and Maintenance and Support Fees which will be recognised as revenue when the customer achieves First Productive Use (FPU) or from the date of renewal.
-
Capital Software sales of A$3.9M (6% of sales orders) were significantly lower than FY23 (A$13.1M, 32% of sales orders) as the trend towards subscription sales orders accelerated during the year. Capital software sales are immediately recognised as revenue upon delivery.
-
Professional Services sales of A$6.5M (11% of sales orders) were 59% higher on pcp (FY23: $A$4.1M, 10% of sales orders). These sales are recognised as revenue over time upon completion of services.

Chart 2 shows that sales orders in FY24 were driven by a large renewal program demonstrating strong retention among Mach7’s existing customer base. Renewals accounted for A$37.5M or 61% of total sales orders, the highest in Mach7’s history.
New customers represented A$13.2M or 22% of sales orders and included Phase 1 of the Veterans Health Administration project which expands Mach7’s footprint into the US public health sector. Addons and expansions represented a further 17% of sales orders illustrating the success of its “land and expand” strategy.

FY24 revenue of A$29.1M, was 3% lower on pcp and at the high end of Mach7’s revised revenue guidance of A$27-30M. The marginal decline was due to the short-term impact of the accelerated subscription transition with 83% of FY24 sales orders relating to Subscription and Maintenance and Support Fees. Most of the revenue associated with these contracts will begin to be recognised in 12to-18 months when FPU is achieved or from the effective date of renewal.
Chart 3 shows that the quality of Mach7’s revenue continues to improve with Recurring Revenue of A$21.1M recognised in FY24, up 29% on pcp, accounting for 72% of total revenue (FY23: 54% of total revenue).
The split between products was similar to FY23 at approximately 60/40 between the VNA and eUnity Viewer.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
At 30 June 2024, Mach7 generated A$22.0M of ARR, a run rate calculated by annualising the revenue earned from Subscription and Maintenance and Support Fees in June 2024. This run rate was A$5.0M or 29% higher when compared to 30 June 2023. ARR will continue to grow as new customers achieve FPU and existing customers renew at increased rates or achieve FPU on add-ons. ARR coverage of operating expenditure increased to 72% in FY24, up from 63% in the prior year.
Contracted Annual Recurring Revenue (CARR)
CARR was A$27.9M at 30 June 2024, up A$7.3M or 35% since 30 June 2023. Mach7’s CARR consists of the A$22.0M ARR run rate for customers that have achieved FPU of the software, plus A$5.9M of Subscription and Maintenance and Support fees not yet recognised as revenue.
The gap between CARR and ARR represents future revenue once FPU is achieved for new customers as well as additional revenue from existing customers from the effective date of renewal or once FPU is achieved for add-ons. CARR is based on contracts in hand as at 30 June 2024.

EBITDA of -A$3.3M compared to A$1.7M in FY23 mainly reflected the short-term decline in revenue associated with the subscription transition. Cost growth of 13% on pcp was in line with guidance to be less than 15%. Mach7 delivered adjusted EBITDA of -A$2.0M against A$2.5M in pcp which excludes unrealised net foreign exchange movements and non-cash share-based payments expense.
In FY24, $0.2M in development costs were capitalised following the Board’s decision to capitalise development costs associated with an R&D project which commenced in FY24. The project is expected to be completed in FY25.

NPATA[7] of -A$1.2M (FY23: A$7.2M) and NPAT of -A$8.0M (FY23: -A$1.0M) for the year was primarily due to the short-term revenue decline.

Cash receipts from customers in FY24 were A$34.9M, up 42% on FY23 (A$24.6M). Mach7 reported positive operating cash flow of A$3.5M for FY24, which is a significant milestone in the context of its transition to a predominantly Subscription sales model.
Mach7’s FY24 cashflow positive guidance was also achieved due to disciplined cost management, increased fees for licence renewals and improved receipts predictability for Subscription contracts.
The financial position of the Company remains strong with no debt and A$26.2M cash on hand at 30 June 2024 (A$23.4M at 30 June 2023).

Mach7 is well positioned to take advantage of a highly fragmented market for medical imaging and the ongoing shift in demand from acute to ambulatory settings. The Company has a strong sales pipeline which reflects opportunities with new and existing customers across different regions, care settings and product combinations.
In FY25, Mach7 will leverage its capabilities to innovate and create new solutions which will further differentiate the Company from its competitors and increase the scalability of the business. This will involve investment in its people, processes and tools which is expected to be in the range of A$2m$3m.
Mach7 expects to deliver growth in FY25 of 15-25% on pcp in both revenue and CARR with revenue growth to exceed the growth in operating expenses.
