-
Strong cash position of circa $7.4 million at 31[st] March 2021, with the majority of investment required for current growth initiatives already being incurred
Sydney, Australia, 20[th] April 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 31 March 2021 (Q1 FY21), along with the following financial and operational update.
Record cash receipts as new revenue streams come online
OpenLearning achieved record quarterly cash receipts from customers of $1.33 million in Q1 FY21, an increase of 85% YoY and 80% QoQ. Growth was driven by strong Platform SaaS sales and renewals, accounting for $480,248 in receipts, and payments from students for the March intake of the UNSW Transition Program Online (TPO) of $510,720, out of which the Company will pay UNSW Global a license fee in Q2 FY21.
Operating cash outflow in Q1 FY21 improved significantly from the prior quarter, declining 46% to $977k, in spite of continued investments in revenue share projects, including TPO, OpenCreds Investment Fund/Open Universities Australia and BEST Network. While the Company expects to continue investing in these partnerships in FY21, the majority of the initial costs for the TPO have already been incurred.
In addition to Platform SaaS and Partnerships, cash receipts from sales of courses through OpenLearning’s Marketplace were $313,776 and receipts from the Learning Services division were $25,746 in Q1 FY21. Operating cash receipts from customers and operating outflows are expected to fluctuate on a quarterly basis during FY21 as the result of the new Platform Partnerships division producing revenue and costs aligned to program intakes throughout the year.
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.

OpenLearning Group CEO & Managing Director Adam Brimo said: “This past quarter saw OpenLearning achieve a step change in its business with some significant financial and operational milestones including record quarterly cash receipts, the successful setup and commencement of the UNSW Transition Program Online, the rollout of a self-service SaaS model for institutions, refresh of the BEST Network and early traction for OpenCreds. These initiatives provide a strong foundation for future growth and I’m particularly encouraged by the size of the first intake of the TPO and initial feedback from students. I would like to thank our team, who have worked very hard deliver these outstanding results, and our partners for their continued support to get these initiatives off the ground.”
Accelerating growth in platform revenue
The Company’s strategy for FY21 is to realise the value of the OpenLearning Platform and its capabilities through two core revenue models:
-
1) Platform - SaaS : Comprises recurring revenue from education providers that pay to access and utilise the OpenLearning platform and its associated products, including the BEST Network.
-
2) Platform - Partnerships : Comprises significant courses and qualifications that are delivered in partnership with top institutions for a large accessible market on a revenue share basis. This includes the TPO, which welcomed its first cohort of students on 22[nd] March 2021.
To provide more clarity on the Company’s progress on monetising its platform, unaudited platform revenue will now be included in quarterly activity reports.
In Q1 2021, the Company generated $411,978 platform revenue, an increase of 70% YoY, which includes SaaS revenue of $371,484, an increase of 54% from Q1 FY20, and Partnerships revenue of $40,494, which only includes the accrued revenue from the TPO for 8 days in Q1 FY21, with the majority of the remaining revenue from the first intake to be recognised in Q2 FY21.

As of 31[st] March 2021, OpenLearning had over 4.66 million enrolments from over 2.8 million registered learners, making it one of the region’s largest lifelong learning platforms. The Company began implementing a usage-based SaaS model in 2019, and while the platform has seen continued growth in enrolments and learners, it is focused on growing revenue rather than maximising the number of learners.

Platform – SaaS
OpenLearning’s ARR grew to $1.423 million in Q1 FY21, an increase of 35% YoY. Platform SaaS clients continued to rise, growing 103% YoY to 177 (with ARR in excess of $500/year). The Company’s ARR includes SaaS revenue from the OpenLearning platform and the BEST Network, which also operates on a subscription model and began generating revenue in the quarter.

The Company has continued to invest in improving the features, functionality and scalability of the OpenLearning Platform. In Q1 FY21, OpenLearning expanded its self-service SaaS model and website (https://solutions.openlearning.com/pricing) to enable education providers with less than 4,000 learners to subscribe, pay and onboard themselves with support from the Company’s customer success team.
Platform – Partnerships
OpenLearning reached a significant milestone in Q1 FY21 with the successful commencement of the first intake of the TPO on 22[nd] March 2021. International students who are accepted into the TPO pay an indicative fee of $15,960 to the Company, out of which the Company pays a license fee to UNSW Global.
The Company received $510,720 in payments from students and accrued $40,494 of revenue in Q1 FY21 with the remainder of the revenue to be accrued over the duration of the four-month program. Setup costs related to the TPO are approximately $450k to end Q1 FY21, o f which $286,047 has been capitalised.

The TPO is designed to be highly scalable and implements an innovative new delivery model that relies on activity-based learning, personalised coaching, portfolio-based continuous assessment and high stakes interviews by leveraging technology led engagement and authentication pioneered by the OpenLearning platform. The Company believes that this approach is likely to deliver improved learning outcomes, higher student satisfaction and better retention rates.
For the past two quarters, the Company worked closely with UNSW Global’s academic and marketing teams to redesign the courses and build out its team in preparation for the first intake. UNSW Global is responsible for marketing, curriculum, quality assurance and certification while OpenLearning is responsible for program delivery, including admissions, student support, teaching, learning design and assessment.
The TPO will have a further two intakes this year in August and September to align with high school calendars and enable prospective international students to complete the program ahead of the first semester of 2022. While the TPO will take time to ramp up, face-to-face programs of this duration have historically seen more than two times as much demand in the second half of the year.
Continued growth in Malaysia, expansion into Indonesia
OpenLearning is seeing increased adoption of its platform in Malaysia with a number of local universities and education providers subscribing during Q1 FY21. While COVID-19 has negatively impacted a number of Malaysian higher education providers, it appears to have spurred demand for online short courses and micro-credentials as more working professionals look to up-skill and companies aim to retrain staff. To capitalise on these developments, OpenLearning is promoting its OpenCreds framework for Malaysia and targeting corporate training providers in addition to higher education institutions.
Over the past two years, the Company, in partnership with two Indonesian universities has tested its platform, technology and approach for fit with the local market. That list has now grown organically to eight local universities utilising the OpenLearning platform. In Q2 FY21, the Company intends to establish marketing and sales efforts in Indonesia with the aim of signing up local universities and colleges to its platform on a usage-based SaaS model. There are over 3,000 higher education institutions and while the market is still in the early stages of development and is cost conscious, it represents a significant long term growth opportunity for OpenLearning.
BEST Network relaunched and began generating revenue
In Q4 FY20 OpenLearning signed an agreement with UNSW and The University of Queensland (UQ) to be the technology and operating partner of the Biomedical Education Skills and Training (BEST) Network, which operates Slice, an innovative cloud application and curated collection of over 21,000 medical images. In addition to UNSW and UQ, five other Australian universities and five international universities, including University of Massachusetts Medical School and Kings College London are members of the BEST Network.
During Q1 FY21, OpenLearning streamlined the BEST Network’s systems, redeveloped components of the Slice application so that it could utilise Amazon Web Services, redesigned its public-facing website (https://www.best.edu.au/) and implemented a new membership model with tiered usage-based pricing.
Slice functions as a kind of ‘Google Maps of biomedical images’ with the features to display and annotate ‘virtual microscopy’ images to enable faculty at the world’s top universities to provide their students with images of human, animal and microbial tissues, both in health and disease. OpenLearning sees significant

opportunities to expand membership of the BEST Network to universities in Asia, Europe and the U.S. and establish relationships with medical faculties around the world.
OpenCreds and Australian micro-credential markets continue to evolve
The Company has continued to promote OpenCreds, the first cross-sector micro-credentialing framework for lifelong learning that is aligned to the Australian and Malaysian qualifications frameworks. OpenCreds has the potential to add significant value to OpenLearning by:
-
Increasing Platform SaaS customers by providing another key selling point for education providers to choose OpenLearning;
-
Generating new revenue from a revenue share on courses from the OpenCreds Investment Fund and the Open Universities Australia (OUA) Open Microcredential Development Grant; and
-
Increasing awareness of OpenLearning as a leading and innovative lifelong learning platform.
There are currently 24 OpenCreds available on OpenLearning with prices ranging from under $100 to $650 per learner with the duration of those courses ranging from 2.5 hours to 25 hours of learning. As a result of the agreements signed by OpenLearning and OUA in 2020, a number of OpenCreds are being promoted through OUA’s higher education marketplace (https://www.open.edu.au/online-short-courses).
Partnership with Accredible
The Company has partnered with Accredible to significantly upgrade the OpenLearning platform’s digital credentialing functionality and support OpenCreds thereby ensuring that it provides a market-leading, allin-one solution for delivering short courses and micro-credentials.
Accredible is the world’s most comprehensive digital badge and certificate platform, and it will enable OpenCreds, as well as bespoke digital credentials issued through OpenLearning, to be stored on the blockchain, shared through social media platforms, linked to skills outcomes and job market insights.
The new digital credentials functionality will be either bundled in the usage-based SaaS pricing of the OpenLearning platform or as an add-on for an additional usage-based SaaS fee.
Spiro Pappas transitions from executive to non-executive director
Spiro Pappas will resume his role as a non-executive director of OpenLearning, effective immediately, after stepping down from his role as a Senior Advisor to the Company. During his time as a Senior Advisor, Spiro worked closely with OpenLearning’s leadership team to form relationships with key industry players that resulted in new business, strategic partnerships, and increased awareness of the Company. Spiro has decided to return to a non-executive role after working with the Company on a number of key initiatives.
Ends.
