Key Activities during the June 2021 Quarter
Quarter review
During the quarter there was a restructure of the organisation which has enabled the company to build a more effective and appropriate structure for future growth. This restructure also included a number of people changes, notably;
-
James Nevile joined Corum as Chief Operating Officer. James joins Corum from Fred IT where he oversaw the highly successful e-prescribing roll-out. James, a pharmacist by training, will bring a wealth of experience to our team
-
Eric Moschietto-Fransa has joined Corum Group to lead the PharmX sales team. Eric is an experienced sales professional with a deep understanding of the pharmacy market and his previous roles include L’Oreal and PZ Cussons.
-
Zoe Hillier has been promoted from Financial Controller to Chief Financial Officer. Zoe has worked in the business for 2 years and had led the finance team for over 12 months.
These changes bolster our internal capabilities and add significant and relevant experience to our senior leadership team.
This restructure resulted in one off redundancy costs of $434,000 incurred in the quarter which impacted the reported operating cashflow of $341,000. The operating cashflow for the quarter excluding these restructuring payments was $775,000. This is an increase of $213,000 (38%) on the previous quarter.
Cash receipts during the quarter were $3,599,000, a small decline from Q3. During the period we continued our product rationalization strategy and discontinued one of our legacy dispensing products, Amfac (AWD). Consequently, there was some customer churn in migrating these customers to our newer, higher value products. Our e-commerce division experienced a marginal decline of c. $30k in the quarter.
Our product strategy progressed and development continued on our newest offering, Corum Clear Suite. This includes, Corum Clear Enterprise (our new head office system), Corum Clear Dispense and Corum Clear Retail. In May, the Corum Clear Suite was showcased at the Australian Pharmacy Professional (APP) Conference. These interactive demonstrations held with groups and pharmacy owners were well received and offered an opportunity to gain further customer insights and importantly, a number of new business opportunities.
There has been a continued focus on our support and deployment business units where we have replatformed our internal systems. This will allow the business to continue to improve our organisational processes, internal efficiencies and most importantly, improve customer interactions that will support future growth.
PharmX network growth continues with five new integration partners added to the platform in the quarter. Platform utilisation by pharmacy grew 2.8% in the quarter and is indicative of increasing awareness and adoption of the platform and its services by pharmacy. Platform stability and delivery performance remains high with 100% system uptime.
Corum ended the quarter with a cash balance of $6.5 million.
Payments to related parties of the entity and their associates
During the quarter, $183,000 was paid in fees and salaries to Directors, Key Management Personnel and their related entities.
