Appendix 1: Glossary

Annualised Recurring Revenue (ARR): represents monthly contracted recurring revenue multiplied by 12. An annualised measure of the revenue that XPON expects to earn from its customers on a repeatable basis. This metric shows the impact of new customer contracts less any churn from customers leaving or downgrading their contracts.

Year-on-Year (YoY) ARR Growth Rate (%): shows the change in XPON’s ARR over a rolling 12-month time frame. This metric demonstrates the impact of the acquisition of new customers, the retention of customers and the expansion of existing customer contracts less any churn from customer’s leaving or downgrading their contracts over a 12-month time frame.

Average Revenue Per Customer (ARPC): calculated as annual revenue for the last 12 months divided by the number of customers at that time (and divided by 12 to get a monthly view).

Monthly Retention Rate: the percentage of customers that are retained on a monthly basis and are not lost due to customer churn over the last 12 months (and divided by 12 to get a monthly view).

==> picture [60 x 61] intentionally omitted <==

Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC): calculated by total customer acquisition costs spent on acquiring customers over the last 12 month period divided by the number of customers acquired during the period. It includes 80% of the salary costs of all sales & marketing team members and 100% of sales commissions, advertising costs, costs for customer marketing activities and resources.

CAC Payback: the average number of months that it takes for XPON to receive back its customer acquisition costs.

LTV/CAC Ratio: LTV divided by CAC, expressed as a ratio to indicate the net return on the cost of acquiring a customer on average, after cost of sales and before operating expenses.

Customer Revenue Retention Rate (CRRR): the percentage of recurring revenue retained from existing customers over the last 12 months. This accounts for increased revenue from existing customers utilising more of XPON’s solutions and lost revenue due to churned customers.

GTM: Go-to-market, meaning the strategy by which XPON wins business.

Lifetime Value (LTV): LTV per customer is the gross profit expected on average from a recurring customer over their lifetime. This is calculated by taking the average customer lifetime (1 minus the monthly retention rate to get monthly churn, then 1 divided by churn) multiplied by ARPC, multiplied by the gross margin percentage for the last quarter. Total LTV represents the total gross profit XPON expects to receive from its current recurring customer base by taking the average LTV per customer and multiplying it by the number of recurring customers.
