Chairman's Address

AGM 2020

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Overview

The company has enjoyed another very successful year coinciding with the 20th anniversary as a publicly listed entity. Each of our businesses in our principal markets (Australia, Europe and North America) contributed strongly to the result.

The Company, and in particular the management team ably led by Dr. Sam Hupert, has navigated its way through a very challenging time.

The success of the company, despite the challenge of COVID-19, has been due to the quality of the management team, the resilience of all of our staff, the flexibility of our leading edge technology and the robustness of our business model. It is worth noting that Visage PACS enabled our clients to seamlessly switch to remote reading during the COVID-19 crisis; something that was not possible with their previous legacy systems.

The global management team has remained constant throughout the year and has continued to deliver long term sustainable financial results by implementing the steps outlined in the previously determined strategic plan.

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.

Many of the goals the company set itself in the strategic plan of August 2018 have been achieved. In October of this year the Board met with the global management team to discuss the next phase of our strategic direction. A follow up meeting will be held before the end of the calendar year to reset our strategic goals and objectives.

During the FY20 year the company announced several new contract wins in North America, including Ohio State University (November 2019); Nines (December 2019 and our largest deal for the year, NorthWestern Memorial HealthCare (June 2019). Since the end of the financial year we have announced a number of other material contract wins including NYU Langone Health (September 2020); and Ludwig Maximillians University of Munich (October 2020). We also recently renewed the Zwanger Pesiri contract for a further five years.

Each of these contracts is significant in its own right and all will make a major contribution to our future revenues.

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.

Despite the number of recently announced new contracts, the management team is working on a significant number of new opportunities and our pipeline continues to be strong. The group remains in an excellent position to continue to capitalise on these opportunities as they present.

Financial Results

FY2020 was another record year for the company with revenue increasing by 13.4% and net profit after tax increasing by 21% (2020 $23 million: 2019 $19 million). Importantly, underlying profit before tax increased by 33% to $30 million.

These results were achieved despite the impact of COVID-19 during the last quarter of the FY20 year (which we referred to in the Directors Report on page 2) and which we estimated to be approximately $1.2 million after tax or 5% of underlying net profit after tax.

The Company continued to be cash flow positive with retained cash increasing from $32 million to $43 million, after paying an increased dividend.

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, with examination volumes returning to more normal levels. I am pleased to advise that results to date are ahead of budget, notwithstanding the impact of the falling US dollar.

Dividend Policy

The Board was pleased to increase dividend payments for the 2020 financial year to 12 cents per share fully franked. This represents an increase of 14% over the previous year and a payout ratio of approximately 50%. The dividends were funded from the company's internally generated cash flow.

The Board anticipates that future dividends will continue to 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.

Additional Director

As I foreshadowed at last year's AGM, the Board undertook a search for an additional director. We had hoped to have finalised an appointment early in the New Year. We were well progressed with the process when our efforts were hampered by the restrictions imposed following the outbreak of COVID-19 in Australia. However the Board persevered and I am delighted that the company was able to secure the services of Deena Shiff. Deena joined the Board in August 2020 and I am

pleased to report that she is already making a strong contribution to our deliberations.

When we consider the formal business of the meeting, I will invite Deena to address you prior to consideration of the resolution for her election.

Corporate Social Responsibility

The Board and management recognises the importance of sound Environment, Social and Governance practices which provides the social licence for the company's operations. I would like to direct shareholders attention to page 15 of the Annual Report where we have set out some of the activities that the company is undertaking in the communities that we serve.

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 one of the most challenging, but most successful, years. 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.
