Sydney, Australia, 26 July 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 June 2021 (Q2 FY21), along with the following financial and operational update.
OpenLearning is targeting Australia’s $7.5b online lifelong learning market
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.

With over 2.9m learners, thousands of courses and partnerships with 184 education providers, OpenLearning is already a pioneer in online education delivery in the Australian market. However, the Company has, to date, only scratched the surface of Australia’s online lifelong learning market by primarily operating in the non-accredited segment (with an estimated market size of $245m). Given the platform’s capabilities and strong relationships with education providers, OpenLearning is now expanding into the much larger $7.2b online accredited qualification segment.
OpenLearning also continues to make inroads in the strategically important Southeast Asian market where the combination of a large youth population and the need to significantly improve post-secondary education access has driven many education institutions to look for innovative ways to deliver education. OpenLearning already has a dominant position in Malaysia’s online education market and its expansion into Indonesia is now underway. With the recent COVID-19 outbreaks in these countries, the Company is seeing increased interest in short courses and micro-credentials for up-skilling while higher education providers have been impacted by COVID-19 restrictions.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for online learning and is expected to drive structural change in the education sector for an extended period. The Company concurs with the emerging consensus view that many functions performed remotely due to the pandemic – education included - will only be partially reversed once COVID-19 eventually fades from view.
A survey conducted by Pearson found that 90% of learners believe online education will be part of their university experience. OpenLearning is well placed for this structural shift. Even before the pandemic hit, the Company was providing its platform for blended learning (part online, part face-to-face).
OpenLearning’s strategy to grow market share is well developed
To grow its presence in the broader online education sector, OpenLearning has positioned itself as a lifelong learning platform, encompassing short courses, micro-credentials and qualifications. The Company is building its client base by empowering education providers to operate and enter the online lifelong learning market with a suite of products, including:
-
Platform Subscription : OpenLearning provides its innovative learning platform and tools (e.g. BEST Network, OpenCreds) on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model to enable education institutions to deliver courses online.
-
Program Delivery : OpenLearning partners with top institutions to deliver programs on the OpenLearning platform. As the delivery partner, the Company has capabilities across the full spectrum of program delivery requirements, including learning design, technology, learning platform, teaching, online facilitation, support and assessment.
-
Value-added services : OpenLearning operates a lifelong learning marketplace and provides learning design services to its clients, which creates network effects and accelerates adoption of its platform.
Platform Revenues grow 162% from the prior year
OpenLearning’s Platform revenue is derived from two products: 1) Platform Subscription and 2) Program Delivery.
Headline Q2 FY21 Platform revenue grew strongly by 162% YoY (and 75% QoQ) to $0.721m and represented a step change in revenue growth for the Company. Within this total, Platform Subscription revenue was $0.353m and Program Delivery was $0.368m.
The significant growth in Platform Revenue driven by the successful commencement and completion of the first intake of the TPO with the majority of revenue accrued in Q2 FY21.

Platform Subscription: This segment 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. SaaS revenue totalled $0.353m in Q2 FY21, a YoY increase of 28%.
The annual recurring revenue (ARR) from the Platform Subscription grew to $1.449m in Q2 FY21, an increase of 27% YoY. SaaS ARR growth slowed as a result of the Company's push to transition more clients to usage-based pricing and away from legacy fixed price contracts that came up for renewal during Q2 FY21. This move had a negative impact on accrued revenue and ARR in the quarter, but it is expected to have a positive impact on revenue and gross margins over the medium term.
Platform SaaS customers continued to rise, growing 59% YoY to 184 (with ARR in excess of $500/year).

Program Delivery: This segment comprises programs delivered in partnership with top institutions for a large accessible market. Currently it includes the UNSW Transition Program Online (TPO), which welcomed its first cohort of students in March 2021. In Q2 FY21, revenue increased 9-fold as the majority of the revenues from the first intake were recognised in this quarter.
The TPO is a highly scalable four-month preparation program that provides prospective international students with direct-entry into UNSW, a global top 50 university. The program relies on activity-based learning, personalised coaching, portfolio-based continuous assessment and high stakes interviews by leveraging technology led student engagement and identity verification pioneered by the OpenLearning platform. As such. OpenLearning expects the revenue contribution of this program will continue its strong growth over the coming quarters from three upcoming intakes.

Enrolments in the upcoming August intake for the TPO have already exceeded the March intake with another couple of weeks remaining for prospective international students to enrol. The Company is seeing early interest in the September and November intakes with students already submitting applications.
To further grow the addressable market of the TPO, the Company is working closely with UNSW Global to enable other universities in Australia and overseas, primarily in the U.K., to accept students who complete the TPO into their universities. This has the potential to significantly increase the appeal of the program to international students who may want to study in another country or university. The Company is in late stage discussions with four overseas universities to accept students from the TPO before the end of 2021.
Exciting new program targeting technology upskilling now under development
OpenLearning commenced development of a new program in 2Q FY21 that will tap into growing demand for technology skills amongst corporates and working professionals. This is after identifying a gap in the market for a high-quality program in computer science that provides both fundamental problem-solving and computational thinking skills as well as programming, data science, cloud computing and related skills.
The new program, named CS101 (short for ‘computer science 101’), is being developed in collaboration with technology industry experts and will involve partnerships with both leading technology companies and multiple universities/higher education institutions. The program will not have any pre-requisites or entry criteria, making it accessible to a broad range of prospective learners worldwide.
The CS101 program is comprised of three short courses that will be developed as OpenCreds and be priced at $1,500 per person per course with introductory discounts being offered. At this stage all of the revenue will be retained by OpenLearning and it will fully manage the delivery of the program with partners benefiting by way of brand awareness, job placement and pathways for learners into qualifications. Once operating, the revenue from CS101 will be categorised under Program Delivery.
Program development has progressed quickly, and the initial cohort of the first course is set to begin in October 2021. More information on the program is available on the website: https://www.cs101.com/.
User metrics continue to climb
In Q2 FY21, OpenLearning added over 0.1m registered learners to reach 2.93m across all geographies, while enrolments grew by 0.197m to 4.86m, as a result of learners enrolling in more courses. These gains ensured OpenLearning retained its status 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.
SaaS agreement with Afterpay gives OpenLearning entrée to top-tier corporates
In a further demonstration of the flexibility of OpenLearning’s platform, in late April 2021, the Company announced it had signed a SaaS agreement with Afterpay Corporate Services Pty Ltd (Afterpay). In July, Afterpay began delivering courses on OpenLearning with the launch of a free financial literacy education program for retail workers in partnership with the Australian Retailers Association. Afterpay is the first ASX20 company to directly leverage OpenLearning’s technology platform and signifies growing interest from large companies in online education.
SaaS agreement with the University of Wollongong demonstrates platform appeal
In mid-June 2021, OpenLearning announced it had signed a 5-year platform SaaS agreement with the University of Wollongong (UOW) with a minimum contract value of $624,250 including GST. UOW is a global top 200 university in the QS World University Rankings 2021 and has over 36,000 students across campuses

in Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Dubai. UOW intends to utilise OpenLearning’s platform to deliver short courses and micro-credentials, as it expands its lifelong learning offering.
Cash receipts continue to rise YoY and mix shifts to platform revenue
OpenLearning reported quarterly cash receipts from customers of $0.996m in Q2 FY21, an increase of 5% YoY. This included receipts of $0.463m from Platform Subscription and $0.259m from Program Delivery as a result of some students paying fees for upcoming intakes of the TPO in advance.
Overall, Q2 FY21 receipts were 25% below the record level reported in the prior quarter, in large part reflective of softer Marketplace receipts of $0.161m, and the timing of the cohorts for the TPO, with no cohorts starting in Q2 FY21. The next cohorts start in August, September and November (most students pay their fees closer to the start date). Sales of courses through OpenLearning’s payment gateway are recorded in the Marketplace segment, these sales only represent a small proportion of courses delivered on OpenLearning as most courses do not charge through OpenLearning’s payment gateway. Receipts from Learning Services were stronger at $0.113m in Q2 FY21.
The QoQ volatility in cash receipts from customers aligns with OpenLearning’s prior warning that such receipts would likely fluctuate on a quarterly basis during FY21 as the result of the Program Delivery producing revenue and costs associated with program intakes throughout the year.
Cash outflows higher, in part reflecting increased investment in the business
Operating cash outflows widened to ($1.516m) in Q2 FY21, which included $0.203m in license fees paid to UNSW Global for the first intake of the TPO. A cash outflow from investing activities of $0.127m was also reported. This represented investment in developing new OpenCreds under the OpenCreds Investment Fund, the final phase of initial course setup costs for the TPO and some of the course/program setup costs for CS101, which is expected to be spread over a few quarters.
The Q2 FY21 cashflow numbers align with the Company’s prior guidance that continued investment in sales/marketing and program delivery would occur in FY21.
OpenLearning’s cash on hand remained strong at $5.744m as at 30 June 2021.
OpenLearning Group CEO & Managing Director Adam Brimo said: “This past quarter saw the delivery of key initiatives, resulting in a step change in platform revenue. OpenLearning is now enabling the delivery of both accredited qualifications and non-accredited short courses/micro-credentials, opening up the $7.5b online lifelong learning market. The UNSW Transition Program Online came into its own in the June quarter, with the completion of the first cohort and strong collaboration between UNSW Global and OpenLearning. We are pleased to welcome the University of Wollongong and Afterpay to OpenLearning, along with more education providers in Malaysia and Indonesia. The development of a new technology upskilling program, CS101, is a milestone for OpenLearning and taps into huge domestic and global demand evident across all professions. With our program catalogue continuing to expand, we are excited about our growth prospects over the coming quarters as we further strengthen our presence in the lifelong learning market.”
Ends.
