The Total Contract Value is a metric that combines all contracts, including subscription and maintenance packages, that the Company expects to deliver during the current fiscal year, subject to audit review. As with previous Enterprise Sales & TCV updates, the Company notes that quarterly cash receipts may vary depending on the solution and/or service provided to the end customer, and any individually material contract award will be separately announced to the market as applicable.
Furthermore, the Company notes that most of its current revenue generating activities are still dependant on upfront and implementation fees (in addition to a recurring revenue component). Therefore, cash receipts and TCV metrics can significantly vary each period, while organically growing on a full year basis.
