Summary

COVID-19

The health and wellbeing of our team is our highest priority, with working from home protocols together with the suspension of all travel expected to continue for some time.

The impact on Megaport’s operational and financial performance has not been significant.

Financial position remains strong, with $144.8 million in cash on hand at 31 December 2020.

PLATFORM INNOVATION AND PRODUCT FOCUS

Further API Integrations - SD-WAN platforms, Network Function Virtualization. Successful launch of MVE with SD-WAN in 2HFY21.

PATHWAY TO PROFITABILITY

Megaport is on track to achieve EBITDA breakeven on an exit run rate basis in Fiscal Year 2021. Achieving EBITDA positive in NAM region in 2QFY21 means all regions are EBITDA positive.

Global travel agency with average of 100 million daily search queries and 40K seats sold daily

  • Achieved Cloud-to-Cloud in minutes - including private and public cloud - with MCR

  • No physical routers to buy, install, or manage

  • ● Successful migration of workloads into a multicloud architecture

  • Stable latency over private connectivity between Google Cloud and AWS.

  • Restored critical connection in under five minutes during unexpected IPSec tunnel downtime.

“With Megaport, we know we have dedicated lines — and that’s vital for ensuring reliable levels of latency between clouds, especially when we’re expecting higher volumes of traffic. I don’t have to set up big routers to handle peaks; I can just add bandwidth to our virtual cross connects through the Megaport portal.”

Financial Results Pre-AASB16 For half year ended 31 December 2020

Profit after direct network costs 2 of $15.5M improved by $4.3M or 39%

Profit after direct network cost margin of 43%, consistent with 1HFY20

Normalised EBITDA loss of $12.0M improved by 4%, to (33%) of revenue compared to (48%) of revenue in 1HFY20

  1. Direct network costs comprise data centre power and space, physical cross connect fees, bandwidth and dark fibre, network operation and maintenance, and channel commissions which are directly related to generating the service revenue of Megaport Group.

  2. Normalised Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation (Normalised EBITDA) represents operating results excluding equity-settled employee costs, foreign exchange gains and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. Including these amounts, EBITDA would be ($28,631) post AASB16 and ($31,912) pre AASB16 (FY20: ($12,268) post AASB16 and ($14,431) pre AASB16).

==> picture [59 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

  1. Foreign exchange losses are mainly attributed to appreciation of AUD against the USD (Average of 0.72 in 1HFY21, vs 0.68 in 1HFY20). Of the $17.2M loss in 1HFY21, $14.3m is related to AUD/USD movement ($10m unrealised loss relating to Intercompany balances between Megaport Limited and Megaport USA, and $4.3m realised loss relating to revaluation of USD cash balances).
