Companies Announcement Office Australian Stock Exchange Limited 20 Bridge Street Sydney NSW 2000
ASX Release MGM Wireless Ltd Thursday July 28, 2011
June 2011 4C Quarter Results
School communications group MGM Wireless Ltd said today that the Company completed the financial year with strong growth in school numbers and improvement in revenues from the previous year.
- Operational school customers increased 21.4% to 698 at 30 June 2011 from 575 at 30 June 2010. The increase in schools for the half-year ended 30 June 2011 was 138 schools, or 24.6%.
- Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2011 was \$2.358m, up 3.8% on 2010. This was on full-year sales of \$2.015m (down 3.2%).
- The Company expects to report a similar profit result to last year's \$0.203mill in line with previously released guidelines.
In other developments:
- The Company is aggressively progressing the development and rollout of a number of exciting new products which will generate revenue growth into the future – a key business objective of the company. Funding for this most extensive R&D program in the Company's history has been entirely met from operations. Some new products are complete and in early stages of commercialization, with other, larger products expected to be finalized and released throughout the course of 2011 and early 2012.
-
Solid progress has been made in the rollout of product to schools signed under the New Zealand Ministry of Education Contract. At the end of June a total of 30 schools have been installed with a further 42 signed to date. Following the expiry of the 12-month contract period of government funding, MGM Wireless will have a significant opportunity to offer system upgrades and new feature rich products to the entire NZ market, as schools will no longer be tied to the product mandated by the former contract.
-
In the previous quarter, the company completed and commercialized Smartsync, a universal software interface which removes the need to manually input parent contact details for schools using the Outreach and School News Channel SMS Solution. This has proven to be well received by both new and existing customers, and is a strategic key driver to gain growth in the smaller schools market sector, which has simpler requirements.
- In March, the company completed the redesign and rebuild of its backend communication and billing infrastructure to both support anticipated higher communication volumes with release of its new customer products, and to improve management and customer service functionality for its existing systems. The rebuild included the move of its infrastructure to a high security data-hosting facility in Sydney, and new functionality to support cloud server technology. This development has further improved the security, scalability, reliability and data redundancy of the company's services.
- MGM continues to migrate existing Government school customers previously managed by the NSW Education Department to direct contracts with MGM. This enables new revenue opportunities by offering more tailored, feature rich communication solutions and services to meet the unique needs of individual schools. To capitalize on this, MGM recently increased its sales resources dedicated to this market sector with the appointment of additional senior sales staff.
The company's top line revenue has not increased in direct correlation with the growth in its school numbers, reflecting a characteristic of modern business models which utilize web-based technology to reduce service delivery costs and offer more competitive, lower pricing without impacting on profit margins or service quality. This effect on the company's overall revenues is also being contributed by the company's significant existing customer base, some of which have been using MGM for more than 6 years as they renew their multi-year agreements.
The 30 June closing cash balance of \$ 108,000 was somewhat lower than usual, a temporary anomaly due to delays in cash receipts from customer contracts at the end of the quarter which happened to be the start of the school holiday period and associated school closures. There was also a delay in the receipt of R&D grant income anticipated to exceed \$ 200,000.
A combination of schools adopting a more cautious approach to school spending due to tighter economic conditions with associated deferment of purchasing decisions until after the end of the financial year, as well as the need for MGM to train new and existing staff to prepare for new product launches ,contributed to new sales falling below target for the June quarter. However, the strength of the MGM Wireless business model, which is based on multi-year customer contracts with recurrent income in software license fees and communication revenues, meant that the business remained profitable and continued to grow despite these factors.
