December Quarter Update

iCollege Ltd (“ICT” or “the Company”) (ASX: ICT) is pleased to provide commentary on its December quarter of operations .

December Quarter Highlights:

  • Highest quarterly cash receipts of $2.1m since the inception of iCollege Limited

  • 35% Increase in cash receipts from September quarter.

  • Settlement of outstanding (Walker) litigation

  • Strong growth in CRICOS enrolments and CCEV.

  • Signing of MOU with Shandong University in China.

  • Incorporation of iCollege China

  • Relocation to a new campus in Adelaide with the capacity to increase CRICOS (International Student Facility) places

- Quarterly Cash Flow Commentary

iCollege is pleased to announce increased consolidated unaudited cash receipts of $2,097,000 for the December Quarter. This is the highest quarterly cash receipts reported since the inception of iCollege and represents a 35% growth quarter on quarter. The board and executive of iCollege expect to maintain growth levels at the current rate for the coming quarters.

The business continues to achieve solid revenue growth including CCEV* (Confirmed CRICOS Enrolment Values) of over $2,800,000 for the quarter at Sero Institute. This is being achieved through continued adherence to the strategic priorities and diligent financial management coupled with thriving organic growth and diversification.

The board and executive continue to build on opportunities supporting the company’s midterm strategic priorities which have served the business well during the turnaround phase.

  • The Confirmed CRICOS Enrolment Value (CCEV) represents the booked dollar value attributed to each individual international student’s enrolment with Sero Institute over the duration of their course .

Doc ID 537018603/v1

In addition to revenues from enrolments, this quarter saw funds received from the sale of Mathisi Training. The sale was part of a restructure designed to exit or reposition the business units that have historically made no significant contribution to iCollege’s revenue.

The December quarter saw the continued focus on strict financial management greatly reducing cash outflows. Capital expenditure was directed towards establishment of a new CRICOS facility in Adelaide, which would significantly increase the 1,800 CRICOS places held by SERO Institute. Further expenditure was directed to the fit out of the Perth campus and café.

Successful settlement of Walker litigation

During the quarter, iCollege settled the MIA/Walker litigation. This settlement bought to a conclusion a period of uncertainty for the business. iCollege has vigorously defended the claim and ultimately with no cash impact on the iCollege (save for its own legal costs). This settlement has seen the extinguishment of a significant risk to the business and providing certainty for future operations.

International Projects update

Signing of MOU with Shandong University - China

iCollege has successfully negotiated and signed an MOU with Shandong University and is currently exploring several mutually beneficial opportunities. The University is home to 60,000 students with an additional 4 colleges attached increasing the student base to 100,000. Additional opportunities in the Chinese market have been unearthed and the company looks forward to generating revenues from the Chinese market in 2019.

Birla Edutech- India Joint Venture.

During the quarter, iCollege and Birla commenced the fit out of the New Delhi facility. This facility will be home to the first campus designed to be recognised as a Hospitality Training Centre of Excellence delivering both Indian and Australian qualifications. Agreement on both capital works and marketing initiatives have been commenced allowing the JV to be ready to welcome its first cohort of students in March- April 2019.

Doc ID 537018603/v1

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Strong enrolment growth and high completion rates have positioned the domestic business strongly, providing a sound foundation for the international expansion of the business. iCollege will continue to focus on the strategic priorities, building a lasting and sustainable business and demonstrate ongoing revenue growth quarter on quarter. All things being equal, the board and executive of iCollege are confident of being able to report a cashflow positive result for Q3 2019.
