1H FY21 Financial Highlights

1H FY21 revenue in line with seasonal expectations despite considerable FX headwinds, COVID and the US election; profit margins improved due to strong operating model

Statutory Revenue[1] Annualised Contract Value (ACV) Pro forma EBITDA[3] 3% yoy 44% of FY21F[4] , 50% of FY21F, growth as at $85.3m down 4% yoy $162m 31 Dec 2020 $31.6m up 3% yoy • Continued new business momentum • Continued new logo wins • Pro forma gross margin strong at 89.2%

  • Pro forma gross margin strong at 89.2%

  • Increased migration to SaaS

  • Strong new Subscription ACV

  • Pro forma EBITDA margin improving to 37.0%

  • FX headwind of $2.4m (budgeted US FX rate of $0.69 versus Dec 20 rate of $0.75)

  • Strong renewals and customer retention, churn decreasing to 4.2% and Net Dollar Retention >100%

  • • FX headwind of $2.4m relative to FY21F

  • Benefits from investing ahead in data centre capacity, disciplined headcount expansion and decreased marketing and travel expenses due to COVID

  • US Government revenue negatively impacted by Continuing Resolution[2] and consequently decreased Perpetual licences

  • Other ACV[5] (Perpetual and Services) revenue decreased from US Government and Asia associated with US Elections and COVID

  • Contract signing slippage of ~$2.4m subsequently closed in January 2021

  • Contract signing slippage of ~$1.2m into Jan 21

Notes:

  1. Statutory revenue is the same as pro forma revenue

  2. Continuing Resolution – no new spend while incoming US Government replaces outgoing

  3. Pro forma EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation excluding IPO-related expenses

  4. FY21F as per the IPO Prospectus

  5. Other ACV reflects the last twelve-month contribution of Perpetual Licence sales, services and third-party software and short-term Software Licences, or licences with a term of less than 12 months but excluding Consumption Licences.

Driven by:

  • Continued strong new Subscription ACV[1]

  • Strong renewals and customer retention shown through an improvement in churn and continued willingness by customers to enter into multi-year deals

Offset by:

  • US Government elections and COVID causing a delay in spending by US Government, reducing Other ACV[2 ] yoy (perpetual and services)

  • Contract signing slippage of ~$1.2m into Jan 21 associated primarily with two customers representing ~$1.1m

  • Driving cost benefits from digital transformation initiatives, resulting in operating efficiencies (e.g. HRIS)

  • Step up in FY21F reflects Nuix’s investment in SaaS instances to support the cloud strategy

  • Slower ramp up to budgeted staff

  • 1) ACV is an adjusted, non-IFRS measure and does not represent Total Revenue in accordance with AAS or Nuix’s accounting policies or cash receipts from customers. ACV is used by Nuix to assess the total contract value of its software contracts on an annualised basis (removing fluctuations from Multi-Year Deal contracts in Nuix’s Total Revenue which results from its revenue recognition policies). The calculation of ACV at the end of the relevant financial period adjusts Total Revenue to account for: A) Revenue generated from Subscription Licences with a term of 12 months or more, as well as Consumption Licences which exists at the end of the relevant financial period as if those contracts’ revenues were generated (and recognised) in each financial year on a straight-line basis over the relevant contract period, expressed on an annualised basis B) last 12 month contribution from short term Software Licences (including Perpetual Licences) or other Software Licences with a term of less than 12 months, excluding Consumption Licences; and C) the last 12 month contribution of services and third party software sales;

  • 2) LTV/CAC measures the multiple of the lifetime value calculated for customers over the costs of acquisition. LTV is calculated by Nuix as its gross profit margin (using the average over the last 12 months) divided by Churn (calculated over the same historical period). CAC is a measure of the cost to acquire additional ACV, and represents the total amount spent on customer acquisition through sales and marketing activities in a period;

  • 3) NDR , expressed as a percentage, represents the ACV from the sale of Subscription Licences (excluding short-term Software Licences, or licences with a term of less than 12 months, but including Consumption Licences) from a constant set of customers (the “NDR Constant Customer Set”) across comparable periods (i.e. it excludes the impact of new customers acquired in the subsequent (i.e. more recent period), taking into account the impact of Upsell, Downsell and Churn (as described in note 4) between these two periods;

  • 4) Churn , expressed as a percentage, reflects the lost customer ACV from Subscription Licences (excluding short-term Software Licences, or licences with a term of less than 12 months, but including Consumption Licences) in respect of a twelve-month period which are terminated or not renewed (a contract will not count towards Churn if it was renewed or recommenced within three months of the end of the given period), as a proportion of ACV from Subscription Licences (excluding short-term Software Licences, or licences with a term of less than 12 months, but including Consumption Licences) at the start of that period;

  • 5) Subscription ACV reflects revenue generated from Subscription Licences with a term of 12 months and Consumption Licences which exists at the end of the relevant financial period as if those contracts’ revenues were generated (and recognised) in each financial year on a straight-line basis over the relevant contract period, expressed on an annualised basis. Subscription ACV excludes short term Software Licences (including Perpetual Licences) or other Software Licences with a term of less than 12 months, but includes Consumption Licences;

  • 6) Other ACV reflects the last twelve-month contribution of Perpetual Licence sales, services and third-party software and short-term Software Licences, or licences with a term of less than 12 months but excluding Consumption Licences.
