- Quarterly Cash Flow Commentary
The Board of iCollege is pleased to announce consolidated unaudited cash receipts of $2,628,000 for the March quarter. This is the highest quarterly cash receipt since the inception of iCollege. This represents a 25% growth in cash receipts from the Dec’ 2018 quarter. With operating cash outflows (excluding receipts) of $2,394,000 the Company reports a $236,000 operating cash position for the quarter.
This quarter celebrates the completion of 1 year since iCollege Limited acquired Manthano Limited and began the process of restructuring both the board and company. In the initial months, the board and executive put into place mid-term strategic objectives and focussed on strictly adhering to these. These objectives served the business well as it renewed the focus on business basics, allowing for a strong and timely turnaround of the company. As demonstrated by the graph above, the business has continued to build on this foundation with a specific focus on increasing student numbers both domestically and internationally (CRICOS students). This growth has been achieved through innovative and dynamic marketing programs for domestic students and courses and the significant expansion of a loyal international agent network.
At the heart of the restructure of the business, has been the development and implementation of a shared services division which provides compliance, accounting, human resources and marketing. This division is now fully operational and positions the Company for significant revenue growth in all of the operating entities at a nominal increase in the fixed cost base.
The staff at all campuses have focussed on delivering a valuable and interesting student experience. This coupled with the recruitment of skilled teaching staff and an informative and engaging suite of courses has increased student referrals from recruitment agencies. This has led to growth in enrolments across all qualifications.
