Gentrack Group Ltd | www.gentrack.com | info@gentrack.com | ARBN 169 195 751
29 November 2017

Gentrack revenue and profit up 43%

Gentrack Group Limited (NZX/ASX: GTK), a market leader in software solutions for utilities and

airports, announces its annual financial results for the year to 30 September 2017.

Highlights (NZ$)

• Revenue $75.2m and EBITDA

1

$23.9m: both up 43% on FY16

• NPAT $11.8m: up 23% on FY16

• Final Dividend: 8.5cps, bringing full year dividend to 12.7cps.


Gentrack delivered strong and cash generative organic growth in the year to 30 September

2017, with revenue and EBITDA both up 43% on prior year. Excluding the mid-year

acquisitions of Junifer Systems, Blip Systems and CA Plus, organic revenue growth was 18%

with EBITDA up 24%.

A full year dividend of 8.5cps has been declared taking the Full Year Dividend to 12.7cps, up

6.7% on FY16. This represents a total payout of $10.2m and 71% of NPATA.

Ian Black, CEO said, “The results follow an intensive year of strategic acquisitions and business

integration effort that will enable us to build on the continuous growth since the IPO, and to

deliver an increased performance rate across the global utilities and airports businesses. Both

businesses experienced 40%+ revenue growth over prior year and recurring revenues from

annual fees and support services were up 43%.”

Over FY17, we’ve successfully added 12 new utility customers with our Velocity and Junifer

products and 9 new airports deployed products from our suite of airports solutions, delivering

licence revenues up 74% on FY16 and 18% organic revenue growth at improved operating

margins.

“The acquisition of Junifer Systems makes us a market leader in the UK with a combined 36

utility customers. It also gives us a SaaS billing and customer management product and

subscription based revenue model well suited to new entrant and smaller utilities in

contestable energy markets in Australia and New Zealand.


“In Airports, the acquisitions of Blip Systems and CA Plus on top of our existing Airport 20/20

business, gives us a unique set of revenue, operations and passenger experience capabilities

and we are already seeing success in cross selling and combining these businesses and

technologies.

“We are beginning to see clear benefits of the ongoing investment to productise our utility

software, so that it can be installed faster by fewer people, which allows us to scale the

business more rapidly and efficiently and to offer subscription based solutions. We expect to

see this strategy continue to lift margins over time.


Gentrack Group Ltd | www.gentrack.com | info@gentrack.com | ARBN 169 195 751

“It has also been a busy year for recruitment with resources up 55% across the group and

acquisitions delivering a 250% growth in UK/Europe based resources. We welcomed a number

of new experienced senior executives to the Group in New Zealand, the UK, Australia and we

recently completed the relocation of the Auckland team to new global headquarters.

Singapore was also chosen for our newest international office, enabling the business to service

customers and ongoing business development activities across South East Asia.”

The Group targets 15%+ EBITDA growth in FY18 as it continues to optimise the value from the

recent strategic growth acquisitions, a shift to productised offerings, and the expansion of

resource expertise to support larger and more profitable projects.

The results are based on unaudited financial statements. Audited financial statements will be

released on 30 November 2017.

All figures are presented in NZ$.

Appendix


NON-GAAP PROFIT REPORTING MEASURES

Gentrack’s standard profit measure prepared under New Zealand GAAP is net profit. Gentrack

has used non-GAAP profit measures when discussing financial performance in this document.

The directors and management believe that these measures provide useful information as

they are used internally to evaluate performance of business units, to establish operational

goals and to allocate resources.

Non-GAAP profit measures are not prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS (New Zealand

International Financial Reporting Standards) and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-

GAAP profit measures reported in this document may not be comparable with those that other

companies report and should not be viewed in isolation or considered as a substitute for

measures reported by Gentrack in accordance with NZ IFRS.



Definitions

EBITDA: Earnings before net finance expense, tax, depreciation and amortisation and other

non-operating expenses. Non-operating expenses are costs relating to acquisition.
