MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT


24 May 2019

Gentrack half-year results to 31 March 2019

Gentrack Group Limited (NZX/ASX: GTK), a leading provider of software solutions for utilities

and airports, today released its results for the half-year to 31 March 2019.

Highlights

• Revenue $54.4m - up 5% on H1 FY18

• Recurring Revenue $37.7m – up 26% on H1 FY18

• EBITDA

1

$12.8m - down 19% on H1 FY18

• NPAT ($8.7m) after impairment of CA Plus of $14.6m - adjusted NPAT $4.6m

• Interim Dividend of 5.0cps declared

In line with guidance, the results for the half-year show an increase in revenue of 5% to

$54.4m and a fall in EBITDA of 19% to $12.8m over the same period last year. Lower than

historic revenue growth reflects the impact of the shift to SaaS sales and some deferred

customer projects. Increased costs reflect the investment in productised SaaS solutions.

Recurring revenue for the half-year was $37.7m, up 26% on H1 FY18, marking the continued

growth in SaaS revenue. On an annualised basis, March 2019 recurring revenue (excluding

Evolve which was acquired in June 2018) was $74m, 33% up on March 2018.

Notwithstanding UK Brexit and electricity price regulation introduced in January 2019,

Gentrack recorded a 7% increase in revenue on H1 FY18 in the UK. There was a 27% drop in

Australia revenue with no large projects in the half. Our Rest of World revenues increased

significantly to $7.5m, reflecting ongoing airports projects in the US and Europe.

We have added four new utilities on a SaaS basis in H1 including Castle Water, Enigys,

MoneyPlus and Northumbrian Energy. We completed deliveries at nPower, Mojo Power, MA

Energy, Maxen Power and Goto Energy. Utilities revenues were flat at $42.3m with EBITDA

down 24% to $10.1m

Veovo has won one new customer, Perth Airport and is continuing significant projects at Ports

of Jersey, Wellington, Orlando, Melbourne, London City, Auckland and Newark Liberty airports.

Veovo first half revenues were up 25% to $12.1m while EBITDA remained unchanged on the

same period last year.

We have fully written down the value of the CA Plus business by $14.6m reflecting the

disappointing performance of this business. It was acquired in May 2017 as an early stage

business delivering retail and concessionaire management solutions for airports.

In September 2018, when it became clear that the deferred consideration based on results

would not be payable, we revalued the deferred consideration and impaired Goodwill with a

net $0.1m impact. During the 6 months to 31 March 2019, expected sales growth has not been

delivered and we are taking the decision to write the investment off. Notwithstanding this,

there is clear demand for a solution to manage concessionaire revenues in the global airports


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

sector. We are integrating the business into the Airport 20/20 portfolio and still see value to

be recovered from our investment.

We have over 550 staff and have continued to invest in strengthening the capabilities needed

to enable our global strategy. This includes specialist skills needed to drive our SaaS product

development and delivery as well as managing our global customer success operations.

We have seen a shift in the utilities sector to cloud based solutions, reflected in our growth in

recurring revenues and adoption of our new SaaS offerings. In the first half we have

completed the investment in our market compliant solutions for energy and water sectors

covering the UK, Australia and Singapore.

Our priority for the second half of FY19 is to expand our presence in many of our large

customers in the UK and Australia as they adopt our broader solution offering and they bring

more of their customers onto our platforms. We will be growing our managed services

business to support customers who increasingly want us to perform data processing and

analytics functions on their behalf. We are also bringing the Evolve solution to market and

expanding sales of the Junifer solution in Australia.

The board has declared an interim dividend at 5.0cps for the half-year in line with the interim

dividend last year.

Ongoing, we are revising the dividend policy set at the time of IPO 5 years ago. The Board now

intends to pay a dividend of at least 70% of underlying NPAT, subject to outlook, capital and

liquidity requirements.

In line with our guidance at the Annual Meeting in February 2019, we expect to deliver a

strong second half, and a full year FY19 EBITDA result marginally ahead of FY18, noting the

usual dependency on the timing of key contracts and project milestones. We have a strong

pipeline of opportunities in our utilities and airports markets which support our long term 15%

CAGR EBITDA growth objective.

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.

•EBITDA1 $12.8m ‐ down 19% on H1 FY18

•NPAT ($8.7m) after impairment of CA Plus of $14.6m

‐ adjusted NPAT $4.6m

•Interim Dividend of 5.0cps declared

In line with guidance, the results for the half‐year show an 

increase in revenue of 5% to $54.4m and a fall in EBITDA 

of 19% to $12.8m over the same period last year.  Lower 

than historic revenue growth reflects the impact of the 

shift to SaaS sales and some deferred customer projects. 

Increased costs reflect the investment in productised SaaS 

solutions. 

Recurring revenue for the half‐year was $37.7m, up 26% 

on H1 FY18, marking the continued growth in SaaS 

revenue. On an annualised basis, March 2019 recurring 

revenue (excluding Evolve which was acquired in June 

2018) was $74m, 33% up on March 2018. 

Notwithstanding UK Brexit and electricity price regulation 

introduced in January 2019, Gentrack recorded a 7% 

increase in revenue on H1 FY18 in the UK. There was a 

27% drop in Australia revenue with no large projects in the 

half. Our Rest of World revenues increased significantly to 

$7.5m, reflecting ongoing airports projects in the US and 

Europe. 

We have added four new utilities on a SaaS basis in H1 

including Castle Water, Enigys, MoneyPlus and 

Northumbrian Energy. We completed deliveries at 

nPower, Mojo Power, MA Energy, Maxen Power and Goto 

Energy. Utilities revenues were flat at $42.3m with EBITDA 

down 24% to $10.1m. 

Veovo has won one new customer, Perth Airport and is 

continuing significant projects at Ports of Jersey, 

Wellington, Orlando, Melbourne, London City, Auckland 

and Newark Liberty airports. Veovo first half revenues 

were up 25% to $12.1m while EBITDA remained 

unchanged on the same period last year. 

We have fully written down the value of the CA Plus 

business by $14.6m reflecting the disappointing 

performance of this business.  It was acquired in May 2017 

as an early stage business delivering retail and 

concessionaire management solutions for airports. 

In September 2018, when it became clear that the 

deferred consideration based on results would not be 

payable, we revalued the deferred consideration and 

impaired Goodwill with a net $0.1m impact.  

During the 6 months to 31 March 2019, expected sales 

growth 

has not been delivered and we are taking the 

decision to write the investment off.  Notwithstanding this, 

there is clear demand for a solution to manage 

concessionaire revenues in the global airports sector.  

We are integrating the business into the Airport 20/20 

portfolio and still see value to be recovered from our 

investment. 

We have over 550 staff and have continued to invest in 

strengthening the capabilities needed to enable our global 

strategy. This includes specialist skills needed to drive our 

SaaS product development and delivery as well as 

managing our global customer success operations. 

We have seen a shift in the utilities sector to cloud based 

solutions, reflected in our growth in recurring revenues 

and adoption of our new SaaS offerings.  In the first half 

we have completed the investment in our market 

compliant solutions for energy and water sectors covering 

the UK, Australia and Singapore.  

Our priority for the second half of FY19 is to expand our 

presence in many of our large customers in the UK and 

Australia as they adopt our broader solution offering and 

they bring more of their customers onto our platforms.  

We will be growing our managed services business to 

support customers who increasingly want us to perform 

data processing and analytics functions on their behalf.  

We are also bringing the Evolve solution to market and 

expanding sales of the Junifer solution in Australia.  

The board has declared an interim dividend at 5.0cps for 

the half‐year in line with the interim dividend last year. 

Ongoing, we are revising the dividend policy set at the 

time of IPO 5 years ago.  The Board now intends to pay a 

dividend of at least 70% of underlying NPAT, subject to 

outlook, capital and liquidity requirements. 

In line with our guidance at the Annual Meeting in 

February 2019, we expect to deliver a strong second half, 

and a full year FY19 EBITDA result marginally ahead of 

FY18, noting the usual dependency on the timing of key 

contracts and project milestones.  We have a strong 

pipeline of opportunities in our utilities and airports 

markets which support our long term 15% CAGR EBITDA

BASI S OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These unaudited interim financial statements of Gentrack Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together “the Group”) have 

been prepared in accordance with the New Zealand equivalent of IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting and New Zealand Generally Accepted 

Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”. 

The Group is a profit‐oriented entity for financial reporting purposes. 

The  Company is a FMC entity for  the  purposes of  the F inancial Reporting Act 2013 and Financial Markets Conduct Act  2013 and is listed on 

the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX. 

These unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 31 March 2019 have been 

prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as, and should be read in  conjunction with, the  financial statements 

and related notes included in the Group’s Annual Report for the  year ended 30 September 2018. The only exception is the adoption of new 

or amended accounting standards as set out below. 

Certain comparatives have been reclassified to ensure consistency with the current period.  

New accounting standards

 adopted by the Group 

A number of new accounting standards become applicable for the current reporting period and the Group has had to change its accounting policies as 

a result of adopting the following standards: 

- NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

-NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 

The impact of adopting these new accounting standards is disclosed below. 

Impact of standards issued but not yet adopted by the Group 

NZ IFRS 16 Leases was issued in January 2016. The standard is mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and will become 

effective for the Group on 1 October 2019. It will result in almost all leases being recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, as the distinction 

between operating leases and finance leases has been removed. The Group does not intend to adopt the standard before its mandatory effective date. 

The Group is yet to fully assess its impact. 

NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – impact of adoption 

NZ IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaced NZ IAS 18: 

Revenue. Under NZ IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer 

of control – at a point in time or over time – requires judgement. 

The Group conducted a detailed review of its customer contracts and management concluded that the implementation of NZ IFRS 15 has no material 

impact on the way in which the Group recognises revenue. Therefore, there is no requirement to restate revenue in prior periods. The Group’s 

accounting policies have been amended to ensure the 5‐step method, as defined in NZ IFRS 15, is applied consi

stently to revenue recognition 

processes across the Group.  

In assessing the impact of NZ IFRS 15 on the Group, management has selected to apply the portfolio approach as detailed in NZ IFRS 15. Using this 

approach, contracts within each operating segment were aggregated and a representative contract for each portfolio was selected. The 5‐step model 

in NZ IFRS 15 was then applied to each representative contract to assess the impact on revenue recognition.  

The 5‐step method for recognising revenue under NZ IFRS 15 is summarised below: 

1.Identify the contract with the customer 

2.Identify the performance obligations 

3.Determine the transaction price 

4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations 

5.Recognise revenue

The table below provides further information on the application of IFRS 15 and how it has been applied to the major revenue types contained in the 

Group’s two operating segments.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 13
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 

In terms of impact to the presentation of the condensed interim financial statements, NZ IFRS 15 requires the disaggregation of revenue to provide 

clear and meaningful information. For the Group, management has concluded that presentation of revenue in terms of the method of revenue 

recognition was most appropriate. Therefore, revenue is disaggregated in the operating segments note (refer to note 2) as the amounts recognised at 

a point in time and over time. Revenue is also disaggregated by revenue type in note 3. 

NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – impact of adoption 

NZ IFRS 9: Financial Instruments replaces NZ IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and brings together three aspects of the 

accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. 

The adoption of NZ IFRS 9 from 1 October 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the 

condensed interim financial statements. The new accounting policies are set out in the section below, along with the impact of adopting NZ IFRS 9. 

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of NZ IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except the Group has used an exemption 

not to restate comparative information.  

Classification and measurement 

NZ IFRS 9 principally impacts the following classifications of financial assets for the Group: 

-Cash and cash equivalents 

-

Trade receivables

Fro

m 1 October 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets at amortised cost (previously classified as loans and receivables under NZ 1AS 39). There 

was no change in the fair value of the financial assets as a result of the reclassification. At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at 

its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. 

Impairment 

From 1 October 2018, the Group assess on a forward‐looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised 

cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. 

In assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, the Group considers both forward looking and financial history of 

counterparts to assess the probability of default. 

For trade debtors NZ IFRS 9 requires expected lifetime credit losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the trade debtor. When there is no 

reasonable expectation of recovery trade debtors are written off. 

The expected credit loss allowance is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected credit loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making 

these assumptions and selecting appropriate inputs to the impairment calculation. This is based on the Group’s past history, existing mar

ket 

conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each period. Further information on the key judgements and assumptions are detailed 

below. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

While cash and cash equivalents are subject to the impairment requirements of NZ IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss is nil. 

Trade debtors 

The Group has applied the lifetime expected credit loss approach for trade debtors under NZ IFRS 9. To measure the expected credit loss, trade 

debtors have been grouped and reviewed on the basis of the number of days past due. The expected credit loss allowance has been calculated using 

the following inputs: 

-Baseline characteristic considers the age of each invoice and applies an increasing expected credit loss estimate as the invoice ages. 

-The ageing characteristic considers the history of each specific customer and if the customer has a significant proportion of overdue 

invoices an additional provision is added. 

-The Country, Customer and Market characteristics consider the relative risk related to the country where the customer resides and 

assesses the financial strength of the customer and the market position the Group has achie

ved within that market.

An increas

e of $0.4m in the allowance for impairment under the expected credit loss model was recognised in opening retained earnings at 1 

October 2018 on transition to NZ IFRS 9.

IDENTITY OF RELATED PARTIES 

The Group has related party relationships with its subsidiaries which are listed i n the Group’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2018. 

The related party transactions primarily consist of the purchase and sale of software products, provision of technical support, loan advances and 

repayments, consultancy services and management charges on commercial terms. 

Key management personnel that have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group, 

directly or indirectly and include the Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and their direct reports. Key management personnel compensation 

for the period was $2.1m (2018: $4.1m). Directors fees were $0.2m for the period (2018: $0.4m). 

Related parties are materially consistent with those disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report. 

11. EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEME

During

 the period the Company granted 113,519 (2018: 78,040) unlisted performance rights for nil consideration to senior executives under 

the Gentrack Long Term Incentive Scheme. Vesting is conditional on the completion of the necessary years’ service to the vesting date and 

performance goals over the vesting period.  

In February 2019 119,613 of a possible 152,400 performance rights vested (2018: Nil), these performance rights were granted in May 2016 

under the Gentrack Long Term Incentive Scheme. The unvested performance rights were forfeited. Please refer to the 2018 Annual Report 

for further information on the Employee Share Scheme. 

12. CA PLUS IMPAIRMENT 

CA Plus offers solutions to airports to process non‐aeronautical revenues derived from retail and concessionaire management activities. 

The CA Plus solution collects sales data from tenants to calculate and charge concession fees and to provide detailed analytics supporting 

planning and decision making.  

The Group acquired 75% of CA Plus in May 2017 with an option to acquire the remaining 25% exercisable in May 2020 based on a three 

year earn‐out target to 31 December 2019. CA Plus was acquired as an early stage business with the expectation that it would rapidly 

develop. 

At 30 September 2018 the value of the liability for the option related deferred consideration was revalued to 1.00 Euro  resulting in a gain 

of $3.8m and at the same time an impairment to goodwill of $3.9m was recognised. It was noted at that time that the carrying value after 

the impairment would remain sensitive to future growth and performance of the CA Plus business. 

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 19
During the 6 months ending 31 March 2019, CA Plus has not delivered expected sales growth and a strategic review of the business has 

been undertaken during the period.  The conclusion is that while there is identifiable market demand for its solutions in the global airports 

sector, the approach to market needed to be significantly changed to realise the opportunity.  Plans are being prepared to fully integrate 

CA Plus into the Airports 20/20 business and to deliver the solution as a component of the Airports 20/20 product set which will leverage 

the intellectual property, the resources and reshape the sales approach. 

In view of the uncertainties around the future shape and performance of the business and associated financial outcomes, management 

considers a full impairment of the $14.6m carrying value of these acquired assets is appropriate. 

Details of the impairment related amounts are shown in the notes that follow. 

13. GOODWILL 

Goodwill represents the difference between the acquisition of the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at 

its initial fair value less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash‐generating units and is not amortised but is 

tested annually or when indicators of impairment are present.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 

The Group’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarised as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash at bank and on hand and the carrying amount is equivalent to fair value. 

Trade debtors 

These assets are short term in nature and are reviewed for impairment; the carrying value approximates their fair value. 

Trade payables 

These liabilities are mainly short term in nature with the carrying value approximating the fair value. 

Loans and Borrowings 

Loans and borrowings have a fixed and floating interest rates. Fair value is estimated using the discounted cash flow model based on current market 

interest rate for a similar product; the carrying value approximates their fair value. 

Fair values 

The Group’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair values are grouped into levels based on the degree to 

which their fair value is observable: 

— Level 1 – fair value measurements derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. 

— Level 2 – fair value measurements derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are         observable for the 

asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. 

— Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability which are not based on 

observable market data. 

There have been no transfers between levels or changes in the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of the Group’s financial 

instruments during the period. As at 31 March 2019 the Group has $2.7m of level 3 financial instruments related to the acquisition of Blip Systems 

(2018: $2.8m). Refer to note 33 of the 2018 Annual Financial Statements for further information.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 24
Responsibilities of the Directors for the interim consolidated financial statements 

The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for͗ 

— the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements in accordance with N IAS 34

Interim Financial Reporting͖ 

— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of an interim financial statements that is

fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error͖ and

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the interim consolidated financial 

statements 

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. We  

conducted our review in accordance with N SRE 2410. N SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything 

has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all 

material respects, in accordance with N IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

INVESTING IN PEOPLE TO ENABLE OUR STRATEGY

Changing our skillset:

•Supporting our transition to SaaS

•Running global operations at scale

•Managing a customer success

business

•Adopting agile development and

delivery approach

•Development of new products with

new technology

•Delivering larger projects.

IMPAIRMENT OF CA PLUS
12

•CA Plus was acquired in May 2017 as an early stage business delivering retail and

concessionaire management solutions for airports

•In September 2018, based on sales results, we revalued the deferred consideration and

impaired Goodwill with a net impact of $0.1m

•During the 6 months to 31 March 2019, expected sales growth has not been delivered and

we are taking the decision to write the investment off, with a full impairment of the $14.6m

carrying value

•There is clear demand for a solution to manage concessionaire revenues in the global

airports sector

•We will be fully integrating the business into the Airport 20/20 portfolio in H2 FY19 which

will enable us to leverage IP and existing specialist resources, as well as reshaping the sales

approach to realise the market opportunity.

THREE SUCCESSFUL ACQUISITIONS DRIVING GROWTH
13

•Junifer launched in Australia and continuing to gain

market share in the UK

•Evolve planned market entry into Australia

•Blip growing strongly in North America and cross

selling into the Veovo customer base.

DIVIDEND
14

5.0cps interim dividend declared (same as 1H FY18)

Revision of dividend policy set at time of IPO in June 2014:

•Original 70-80% of NPATA (NPAT adjusted for the amortisation of acquisition

related intangibles) subject to outlook, capital and liquidity requirements

•Revised to at least 70% of underlying NPAT, subject to outlook, capital and

liquidity requirements.

•Strong second half with full year EBITDA result expected to be marginally ahead of FY18
•Results are dependenton thetimingof keycontracts and project milestones

•We continue to see cautious investment behaviour by UK utilities as a result of Brexit,

energy price regulation, and fewer new entrant energy retailers

•Australianenergyregulation and Default Market Rates introducing investment

uncertainty for energy retailers

•We see increasing acceptance by utilities of SaaS based solutions

•We have contracts with 4 of the ‘Big 6’ UK energy suppliers with significant growth

potential

•Based on our increasing recurring revenues and pipeline of opportunities, we are

confident in our 15% long-term organic EBITDA growth target.

15
