Growth trajectory and outlook

The unaudited results demonstrate the continued momentum of the Veris Australia business, which has made significant strides since stabilising the business model and focussing on the delivery of its strategy execution following the introduction of the current management team in the second half of FY20. The Company has achieved year on-year revenue growth since FY20, with confidence in an improving trajectory underpinned by strength in a growing order book and pipeline.

The Company’s secured forward workload is now in excess of $56 million to be executed over the next 12 months, while the unsecured project pipeline continues to grow and has a weighted value of ~$190 million over the next 24 months.

Michael Shirley, Managing Director & CEO, Veris Limited commented:

“It is pleasing to be reporting continued improvement in Veris’ financial performance as we demonstrate a clear path to profitability. We continue to execute our strategy, delivering value through the end-to-end process of spatial data collection and analytics. This is positioning the Company for sustained success.

“Our future growth prospects are underpinned by the continued strength in our secured forward workload and expanding unsecured project pipeline. We are building strong momentum across the business, and our leading national client base is trusting us to deliver spatial data solutions that drive smarter decision making across their projects.”
