27 October 2022 – Drone based data systems provider, Delta Drone International Limited or DLT (ASX: DLT) is pleased to provide the business update for the quarter ending 30 September 2022 (Q3 FY2022), along with its Appendix 4C quarterly cash flow report.

Delta Drone International CEO Christopher Clark said: “We are truly appreciative of our customers, who recognise the benefits and savings from our geospatial and drone data solutions. Their confidence is best observed in our growing ARR & TCV numbers, as they convert their ad-hoc purchases to long-term commitments.

Cash receipts remain consistent and we are pleased to have converted some month-to-month cash receipts to locked in cash streams for the future, as indicated by our growing TCV and ARR.

We are focused on continuing our growth strategy, while keeping a strong control on corporate overheads. Our teams are currently working on a new technology solution, which we will announce in due course, which has been designed to address the pain points of our current customers and target market in this high-inflationary economic cycle.”

1. FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Revenue from continuing operations (unaudited) for the September quarter was A$1.341m, down 7% on Q2 FY2022 due to a reduction in one-off revenue from project work in Australia and Africa.

Contracted annual recurring revenue (ARR) was 40% of total revenue (up from 29% in quarter 2). This increase was driven in part by new contracts (such as Assmang Khumani Iron Ore) which prior to contract formalisation were already being billed on an ongoing month to month basis (see below section on revenue definitions by type). The increase was also driven in part by the full quarter (rather than part quarter) revenue of contracts which commenced in quarter 2, such as Seriti Coal and the Exxaro contract extension.

Growing the ARR component of overall revenue is a focus of the Company when tendering its services. Australian operations accounted for 31% of group revenue in the quarter (37% in Q2 FY2022).

Cash receipts from customers for the September quarter, Q3 FY2022, totalled A$1.369m, a 3% increase on Q2 FY2022 and down 4% on Q3 FY2021 (Q3 FY2021 included ParaZero).

Note: differences between quarterly cash receipts and revenue may occur due to the 1) cash collection cycle and 2) revenue recognition on contracts and projects including anniversary dates of when contracts started.

Revenue definitions by type:

(A) Revenue legally contracted and recurring: revenue from legal contracts with minimum original terms of 12 months, subject to normal termination provisions per each contract. The TCV and ARR measures set out in the section below contain only this type of contract.

(B) Revenue likely to re-occur: revenue which management have a reasonable expectation will reoccur in the future either because it has been historically demonstrated to re-occur or because we hold rolling short term purchase orders or legal contracts which are less than 12 months in original length.

(C) Revenue one-off: revenue which does not meet the above definitions (these are typically oneoff short projects)

TCV and ARR

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is A$2.044m at the end of the September quarter, up 20% on Q2 FY2022, subject to normal termination provisions per each contract.

Total contract value (TCV) is $4.434m at the end of the September quarter, up 16% on Q2 FY2022. TCV and ARR grew in the quarter due to signing of new contracts, in particular, Assmang Khumani Iron Ore.

TCV is the total value of all remaining contracts (only contracts that had a minimum of 12 months original duration are included) and is net of monthly contract depletion (i.e. the revenue remaining to be collected until end of contract life). Key contracts in the TCV include with Assmang Khumani Iron Ore, Red 5, Seriti (multiple), Exxaro, South32 (multiple) and Newmont (multiple). Note that the 30 September 2022 TCV and ARR figures exclude the benefit of the material contract with Anglo American Mogalakwene mine announced on 17 October 2022. ARR and TCV may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations.
