Sydney, Australia, 20 October 2021: Global lifelong learning platform OpenLearning Limited (‘OpenLearning’ or ‘the Company’) (ASX: OLL) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C cash flow statement for the quarter ended 30 September 2021 (Q3 FY21), along with the following financial and operational update.

OpenLearning provides the complete solution for lifelong learning providers

Online lifelong learning markets in Australia and Southeast Asia continued to evolve over the middle part of calendar year 2021, with OpenLearning playing a key role in this process.

The Company continued to be a leader in the sector with new platform innovations, acceptance of the TPO by more universities, increasing adoption of its OpenCreds micro-credential framework and the launch of CS101 to bridge the technology skills gap in partnership with leading technology companies.

The Australian online education market is expected to grow 8.2% and reach $7.9b in 2021, according to IBISWorld’s latest forecast.[2] Lifelong learning, which includes both non-accredited courses and accredited courses, accounts for 95%, or $7.5b, of the country’s online education market.

OpenLearning’s two-pronged strategy to growing its share of this market is to provide the complete technology solution to education providers to build and operate their education businesses ( Platform Subscription ) and, where it makes commercial sense, invest in building programs in partnership with

1 Annualised recurring SaaS revenue, calculated by utilising the generally accepted industry standard, which involves multiplying the monthly accrued SaaS revenue in the month at the end of the quarter by 12 (months). The ARR calculation does not take into account the future expiry of the term of any contract under which SaaS revenue is generated or any customer lost during the relevant month.

top universities and corporates ( Program Delivery ). In addition, OpenLearning provides value-added services to accelerate client adoption of its platform, including a lifelong learning marketplace and learning design services.

With COVID-19 induced lockdowns lifting around the world and travel beginning to resume, the general consensus is that the pandemic has simply accelerated the structural change already occurring in the broader education sector and that online learning will be a primary mode of delivery in the lifelong learning market, particularly short courses and micro-credentials targeting working professionals.

The Company looks forward to the return of international students and the resumption of oncampus education at the undergraduate level, which is likely to improve the financial situation of higher education providers and enable them to invest further in online and blended learning (mix of face-to-face and online learning).

Platform Revenues grow 186% from the prior year, with uptake of TPO a highlight

OpenLearning’s Platform Revenue is derived from two products: 1) Platform Subscription and 2) Program Delivery.

Headline Q3 FY21 Platform Revenue continued to grow strongly, jumping by 186% YoY (and 14% QoQ) to $0.825m. This significant Q3 FY21 growth was driven by the TPO and consistent Platform Subscription revenue.

After a successful first intake of the TPO in March, the subsequent August and September intakes attracted 73 students. This means over 100 students have now enrolled in the TPO, less than a year since the agreement with UNSW Global was signed and six months after the start of the program.

OpenLearning’s Platform Subscription is comprised of the recurring Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenue from education providers that pay to access and utilise the OpenLearning platform, including the BEST Network. The annual recurring revenue (ARR) from the Platform Subscription was up 15% on a YoY basis to $1.414m in Q3 FY21.

Platform SaaS customers continued to rise, growing 37% YoY to 196 (with ARR in excess of $500/year), a net increase of 12 clients in the quarter. Despite the increase in clients, ARR declined by 2% compared

OpenLearning’s Platform Subscription business has historically been a strong driver of revenue and a number of initiatives are underway to accelerate ARR growth.

In the past two quarters, the Company has: implemented usage-based pricing, which is expected to have a positive impact in the medium term; restructured and expanded its sales/partnerships team; established a sales and marketing team in Indonesia; and expanded its digital marketing efforts.

Program Delivery revenue stream growing strongly

OpenLearning’s Program Delivery segment comprises programs delivered in partnership with top institutions for a large accessible market. The major driver of revenue growth in this segment is currently the TPO, a highly scalable four-month preparation program that provides prospective international students with direct-entry into UNSW, a global top 50 university.

The first intake of the TPO in March was successful, with 86% of students receiving an offer from UNSW for either a degree or diploma. The August and September intakes are now well underway, and students are already applying for the upcoming November intake as well as intakes scheduled for 2022.

With over 100 students enrolled since March and promising feedback, UNSW Global and OpenLearning are aiming to increase the number of universities that recognise the program. Already, in addition to UNSW, four United Kingdom universities and one New Zealand-based university have recognised the TPO. This number is expected to grow further in the coming months as discussions are ongoing with more universities.

Technology upskilling program, CS101, gains early traction

OpenLearning’s Program Delivery segment is about to receive another boost, with the start of the first intake of its CS101 (short for ‘computer science 101’) program. This course is specifically designed for working professionals to enhance their computational thinking and programming skills and, in the process, make themselves more productive and employable. CS101 does not have any pre-requisites or entry criteria, making it accessible to a broad range of prospective learners worldwide.

According to a recent study by Accenture and the Tech Council, Australia will need an additional 60,000 tech workers per year over the next five years while only 7,000 students graduated with a technologyrelated degree in 2019, leading to a severe skills shortage that could limit the growth of the sector.

CS101 is designed to fill this gap by ensuring that the program is designed by industry, for industry. Led by OpenLearning’s CTO David Collien and experienced learning designers, CS101 brings together industry experts and leading technology companies. The list of partners already includes Microsoft, Canva, Chronosphere and Alibaba Cloud, and is expected to grow further over time.

OpenLearning commenced development of its new CS101 program in Q2 FY21, with this task also extending across the Company’s Q3 FY21 as well. The first cohort of CS101 commenced on 18[th] October, with over 50 people paying for the course and an additional 25 people from the industry partners. This figure is expected to rise further, and the next cohort is set for February 2022.

More information on the program is available on the website: https://www.cs101.com/.

User metrics continue to climb

OpenLearning added approximately 0.1m registered learners in 3Q FY21, taking the total number of registered users across all geographies above 3m for the first time. Platform enrolments grew by 0.195m, taking this metric above the 5m mark. These gains ensured OpenLearning retained its longtime position as one of Australia and Southeast Asia’s largest lifelong learning platforms.

While OpenLearning’s platform has continued to grow enrolments and learners, the Company is steadfastly prioritising growing revenue per user rather than maximising the number of learners.

Cash receipts continue to rise

OpenLearning reported an 71% YoY increase in cash receipts from customers to $1.338m in Q3 FY21. This included receipts of $0.238m from Platform Subscription and $0.847m from Program Delivery as a result of students enrolling and paying in the August and September intakes of the TPO. Cash receipts from the Company’s Learning Services came in at $0.133m and gross sales of courses in the Marketplace were $0.119m in the quarter.

Net operating cash outflows were ($1.395m) in Q3 FY21, which included $0.335m in once-off items and excludes license fees to be paid to UNSW Global of circa $0.55m for the August and September intakes of the TPO. A cash outflow from investing activities of $0.130m was also reported, representing setup and course design costs for CS101, which is expected to continue for a few quarters.

The setup phase of the TPO was completed in Q3 FY21 with the addition of the Design and Life Sciences streams to complement the Commerce, Actuarial Studies and Physical Science streams. The TPO will now move towards a business-as-usual delivery model with continuous improvement carried out as necessary.

OpenLearning’s cash on hand as at 30[th] September 2021 was $4.233m.

OpenLearning Group CEO & Managing Director Adam Brimo said: “OpenLearning delivered strong growth in platform revenues in Q3 FY21 and a number of initiatives are underway to accelerate growth across both the Platform Subscription and Program Delivery segments. Thanks to the hard work of our team and the support of UNSW Global, the Transition Program Online is starting to scale with promising results from the March intake, growing enrolments from the August and September intakes and a steadily increasing number of universities accepting students from the TPO upon completion. We are also thrilled with the launch of CS101, a truly ground-breaking computer science program that has attracted industry experts and leading technology companies who see the potential for it to bridge the skills gap. As Australia and Southeast Asia begin to re-open after COVID-19 restrictions, OpenLearning is well placed to continue growing its share of the lifelong learning markets in both of these geographies”
