ACV Update & Outlook – Growth Trajectory Resumes
==> picture [13 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
ACV Renewals, Growth & Outlook
During the March quarter, and since the Company last reported ACV (Annual Contract Value) on 31 October 2022, Pointerra continued to add new customers and generate growth in spend by existing customers across the Company’s target market sectors in the US and Australian markets. This growth has generated further uplift in Pointerra’s US$ ACV run-rate.
The Company continues to work through contract renewals with existing US energy utility customers, a process that is expected to further add to growth in ACV via expansion of existing contracts and the addition of new subscriptions.
==> picture [14 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
ACV currently stands at between US$19.7 million and US$22.1 million, pending outcome of remaining utility customer contract renewals, and is expected to continue growing during Q4 and into FY24 as ACV growth trajectory resumes. Cashflow & ACV Variability
Consistent with previous quarters, the Company again highlights that quarter-on-quarter cash receipts may continue to be variable as new customers are on-boarded following contract award with a variety of different payment cycles including monthly, quarterly, annually, and even multi-year in advance agreements.
This ongoing variability in quarterly cash receipts is expected to smooth out in time as ACV continues to grow and the size and diversity of Pointerra3D’s portfolio of Core, Analytics and Answers customers continues to mature.

Growing recognition that Pointerra3D’s cloud deployed workflows allow them to deliver data faster and with fewer employees than any other solution, delivering competitive advantage over more established mapping companies that are slower to innovate.
AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction & Operations). Execution of the Amazon warehouse program (material contract awarded in current quarter) continued throughout the quarter and the Company continues to refine the solution and implement process efficiencies as the program scales throughout calendar 2023. Release of new AEC focused analytics combined with the roll out of Pointfuse integration beta testing also helped accelerate sales opportunities within this sector.
