CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS AGM NOVEMBER 2019

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Overview

The Board has continued to follow its strategic plans, which were updated in August last year, and which have provided the company with significant growth and improved profitability during the last financial year. Each of our businesses in our main markets (Australia, Europe and North America) contributed strongly to the result.

The group continues to invest in our best of breed suite of innovative products - to maintain market leadership, which we believe, is fundamental to your company's success. Today Sam will talk about our new AI platform, Visage AI Accelerator a unique end to end solution that will enable our clients to fast track the implementation of AI as part of their imaging strategy.

The global management team has remained constant throughout the year and the Board is confident that they can continue to deliver long term sustainable financial results given the appropriate strategies.

During the year we announced several new contract wins in North America, including Carle Foundation in Illinois (July 2018); Partners Healthcare which includes Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham Women's Hospital (November 2018); Duke Health in North Carolina (April 2019) and most recently Ohio State University, as well as the renewal of our Department of Veteran Affairs contract. All of these will contribute to our future revenues. In Germany we won a contract extension with a Government Hospital. In Australia the expansion of our relationships with I-Med Radiology Network and Healius (formerly Primary Healthcare) are progressively contributing additional revenues as the respective roll outs continue.

The group remains in an excellent position to continue to capitalise on the increasing global and local opportunities as they present themselves. The management team is working on a significant number of new opportunities and our pipeline continues to grow.

Financial Results

The financial results for the 2019 financial year recorded another healthy increase in underlying net profit after tax (2019 $22.74 million: 2018 $12.24 million or 83.1%). A change in the accounting standard regarding revenue recognition reduced the reported net profit after tax to $19.13 million which compared with the adjusted result for the prior year was an increase of 91.9%. The change also resulted in the recognition of certain revenue being deferred to future periods and at 30 June 2019 the amount deferred was $22.91 million.

On either measure, the result for the year was another record for the company and just reward for maintaining our strategic focus and has been achieved after making the necessary ongoing investments for future growth.

The Company continued to be cash flow positive with retained cash increasing from $25 million to $32 million after paying an increased dividend. This trend has continued as a large proportion of the significant balance of trade receivables at 30 June 2019 has been realised.

The Board anticipates another strong year with the majority of growth occurring in the second half of the financial year. The budget for the current financial year has been determined recognising continuing strong growth and I am pleased to advise that results to date are comfortably ahead of budget.

Dividend Policy

The Board was pleased to increase dividend payments for the 2019 financial year to 10.5 cents per share fully franked. This represents an increase of 75% over the previous year and a payout ratio of approximately 50%. The dividends were fully funded from the company's internally generated cash flow. The Board anticipates that future dividends will be fully franked. The Board will continue to determine an appropriate level of dividends having regard to the profitability of the business, its need for ongoing investment and the necessity to retain sufficient funds to pursue other growth opportunities.

Sale of Shares by the Founders

As reported last year the Board encouraged the Founders to sell some of their shares to improve the liquidity in the company's shares. In March 2018 both founders sold 1 million shares and in September 2019 a further 1 million shares each, the two tranches equating to less than 7% of their individual shareholdings prior to the sale of shares. Post the sale of shares, the Founders retain their position as majority shareholders in the company with a combined stake of approximately 54%.

ASX 200 Index

In June 2019 the company was included in the ASX 200 index having met the criteria with respect to market capitalisation and liquidity (assisted by the Founder share sales). The inclusion in the ASX 200 index has increased the volume of the company's shares traded; however movements in the share price have become more volatile. As a result the Board decided to commence buying back some of the company's shares to mitigate the impact of the volatility for the benefit of all shareholders.

Gender Diversity - Female Director

The Board recognises the benefit of gender diversity at all levels of the Company.

The Board also recognises that it is one of seven companies in the ASX200 index which do not have a female director and has been taking steps to address this issue. As the company's business grows we see the opportunity to appoint an additional director and we hope to be in a position to make an announcement early in the New Year.

Closing

In closing, on your behalf, I would like to thank all of our dedicated staff in Australia, North America and Europe for their contribution to the company during what has been another very positive year. I would also like to thank my fellow directors who have also worked tirelessly and diligently to ensure that the company reaches its ultimate goals.
