Europe achieved an EBITDA positive position for the entire fiscal year in 2021, and North America, which represents the largest target addressable market, is growing at the fastest rate with 47% growth year-over-year in monthly recurring revenue.

The Megaport mission for the coming year is to ‘Scale Up, Scale Out’. This is a commitment by everyone at Megaport to accelerate our growth and our innovation cycle to increase our lead in the NaaS space. With a proven business model, the trust of partners and customers, and a leading platform built for innovation, we are well positioned to achieve this. We will invest in revenue growth by making investments in further market expansion, product and service innovation, and most critically, the people responsible for making Megaport the transformational technology company that is changing the way IT services are built today and tomorrow. “
