Simble FY22 Preliminary Final Report

27th February 2023

Sydney, 27 February 2023: Sustainability solutions company Simble Solutions Limited (ASX:SIS) (‘Simble’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to lodge its unaudited Preliminary Final Report for the year ended 31 December 2022 (‘FY22’).

During 2022 the Company continued to expand its investment in sales and marketing activities in respect of CarbonView, its ESG and Carbon Reporting platform, and SimbleSense, its energy monitoring and intelligence platform.

The Company is now seeing strong sales activity both with direct customers and through our distribution partnerships with Intellihub and Sylvania (UK) in particular. Simble is working to close out new customer acquisitions and channel partners, with a substantial and growing forward looking revenue pipeline.

Encouraged by the increased global focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting, the Company also invested in product research and development, and the expansion of overseas markets, in particular the UK and Europe.

These activities have allowed Simble to offer a full suite of sustainability solutions across the CarbonView and SimbleSense software platforms, together with carbon reduction and energy efficiency consulting solutions.

Key highlights of the FY22 financial results include:

  • CarbonView revenues up 26% to $193k in 2022, from $153k in 2021. This was due to new CarbonView customers including Optima and Plenary Group and a full year of revenues from previous year additions including David Brown Limited and the Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity (A2EP) demonstrating the benefit of the improved product suite, a growing partner network, and increased spend on sales and marketing.

  • SimbleSense software revenues up 92% rising to $306k from $159k in 2021. Hardware sales revenue up 65% to $501k from $303k in 2021. This was driven primarily by growth in the UK market with Sylvania Lighting, Powercor and DB Santasalo all contributing to increased SaaS, hardware & installation revenues.
