MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
29 May 2020
Gentrack half-year results to 31 March 2020
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 2020.
Results Summary
• Revenue: $50.6m - down 7% on H1 FY19
• Committed Recurring Revenue: $29.7m – up 11% on H1 FY19
• EBITDA
1
: $4.3m - down 78% on H1 FY19 on comparable pre IFRS16 basis
• Statutory NPAT: ($12.8m)
• Adjusted NPAT
2
: ($1.0m)
• Net cash: $6.4m up $1.8m
• No Interim Dividend payable
The results for the half-year show a decline in revenue of 7% to $50.6m. This reflects the loss
of a number of UK customers due to supplier failure or acquisition, and a drop in non-recurring
revenue in the UK and Australia. Committed Recurring Revenue of $29.7m continued to
increase half on half, up 11% on the prior year, reflecting a net growth in meter points and the
shift to a SaaS revenue model.
Underlying EBITDA of $4.3m ($2.8m pre IFRS16 adjustment) was in line with guidance in
February. In addition to the revenue reduction, profitability was eroded by an increase in costs
of $6.2m over the prior year, principally people costs in the UK. This was addressed with a
headcount reduction in February/March, which will benefit the second half.
The statutory NPAT loss of $12.8m for the half is a result of the decision to impair $10.7m of
goodwill and intangible assets in Blip and $1.5m of previously capitalised utility software
following rationalisation of our product range in the UK. Blip, which was acquired in April
2017, has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 global airport shut down, with the
timing of a recovery remaining uncertain. This has impacted the forecast revenues from new
projects in H2. Blip has now been fully integrated into the Veovo business and we continue to
see significant opportunities in passenger tracking and prediction at airports and railway
stations.
Notwithstanding the reported loss, the Group achieved $8.6m operating cashflow for the
period adjusted for IFRS16, finishing with $6.4m Net Cash at 31 March 2020. In light of the
NPAT loss, the Board has decided not to pay an Interim dividend and will review the position at
the year end.

Both utilities and airports revenues were down on the prior year period, however we started
new energy and water billing and assurance projects in the UK, and Veovo projects at Luton
Airport and Swedavia, Sweden’s Aviation Authority.
The COVID-19 pandemic had no material impact on the Group’s operations for the first half
and business continuity plans and working from home have enabled Gentrack to continue to
operate largely unaffected. However, the economic downturn has now had an impact on our
Airport and Utility customers, and we are seeing some projects delayed and postponed in the
second half. In the UK, Energy Retailers were already under financial pressure prior to the
economic downturn as a result of Government price caps introduced in 2019, and there is
ongoing risk of further failures and consolidation in the second half.
Notwithstanding the impact of the economic downturn Gentrack expects to deliver a second
half EBITDA result ahead of the first half, and to remain cash flow positive.
Longer term with SaaS products that deliver costs savings and improved operations and
efficiency to utilities and airports on mission critical systems, Gentrack is well positioned to
emerge from the current difficult market conditions and return to consistent profit growth.
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.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER
The results for the half-year show a decline in revenue of 7%
to $50.6m. This reflects the loss of a number of UK
customers due to supplier failure or acquisition, and a drop
in non-recurring revenue in the UK and Australia. Committed
Recurring Revenue of $29.7m continued to increase half on
half, up 11% on the prior year, reflecting a net growth in
meter points and the shift to a SaaS revenue model.
Underlying EBITDA of $4.3m ($2.8m pre IFRS 16 a
djustment)
wa
s in line with guidance in February. In addition to the
revenue reduction, profitability was eroded by an increase in
costs of $6.2m over the prior year, principally people costs in
the UK. This wa
s addressed with a headcount reduction in
February/March, which will benefit the second half.
The sta
tutory NPAT loss of $12.8m for the half is a result of
the decision to impair $10.7m of goodwill and intangible
assets in Blip and $1.5m of previously capitalised utility
software following rationalisation of our product range in
the UK. Blip, which was acquired in April 2017, has been
significantly impacted by the COVID-19 global airport shut

recovery remaining uncertain.
This has impacted the forecast revenues from new projects

Notwithstanding the reported loss, the Group achieved
$8.6m operating cashflow for the period adjusted for IFRS
16, finishing with $6.4m Net Cash at 31 March 2020.
In light of t he NPAT loss and in line with our dividend policy,
the Board has decided not to pay an Interim Dividend and
will review the position at the year end.
Both utilities and airports revenues were down on the prior
year period, however we started new energy and water

These unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Gentrack Group for the six months ended 31 March 2020
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 Gentrack Group’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2019. The
only exception is the adoption of new or amended accounting standards as set out below.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC
On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic as a result of the outbreak and spread of COVID-19.
Gentrack Group, like most other organisations is impacted by COVID-19 in a variety of ways, both financially and operationally. In
late March due to restrictions imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19 many businesses were forced to close or move to remote
ways of working. Gentrack Group had the necessary infrastructure in place and had thoroughly tested its ability to support remote
working and during this period Gentrack Group has been able to largely operate as normal.
At 31 March 2020, the financial impact of COVID-19 on Gentrack Group has been immaterial, but the longer-term implications are
still somewhat uncertain particularly for the Airport business which customers have been severely impacted by COVID-19. Gentrack
Group continues to closely monitor the longer-term financial and economic implications of COVID-19 on its operations.
In preparing these interim financial statements Gentrack Group has considered the increased level of uncertainty resulting from
COVID-19 in applying its accounting estimates and judgements, details of these are provided below:

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED BY GENTRACK GROUP
During the current reporting period Gentrack Group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 Leases (NZ IFRS 16) and has had to change its
accounting policies as a result of adopting this new standard. The impact of adopting NZ IFRS 16 is disclosed below and in further
details in section 12.
NZ IFRS 16 LEASES – IMPACT OF ADOPTION
NZ IFRS 16 deals with the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and replaces NZ IAS 17 Leases (NZ IAS
17). NZ IFRS 16 introduces a single model for lessees which recognises all leases on the balance sheet through an asset representing
the exclusive rights to use the lease item during the lease term and a liability for the obligation to make lease payments. NZ IFRS 16
removes the distinction between operating and finance leases and aims to provide the users of the financial statements relevant
information to assess the effect that leases have on the statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income and
cash flows of the reporting entity
NZ IFRS 16 is effective for Gentrack Group beginning on or after 1 October 2019. Gentrack Group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 using the
modified retrospective transition approach. Under this approach, the cumulative effect of initially applying NZ IFRS 16 is recognised
as an adjustment to retained earnings at 1 October 2019. Comparative figures for the year ended 30 September 2019 are not
restated but instead continue to reflect the accounting policies under NZ IAS 17.
On transition to NZ IFRS 16 Gentrack Group has recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which were previously classified as
operating leases under NZ IAS 17. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted
using the lessees incremental borrowing rate as of 1 October 2019. The weighted average lessees incremental borrowing rate
applied to these lease liabilities on 1 October 2019 was 5.68%
PRACTICAL EXPEDIENTS APPLIED
On transition to NZ IFRS 16, Gentrack Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
• Exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the lease asset at the date of initial application
• Excluded lease contracts of insignificant value
• Use of hindsight in determining a lease term
• Reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous

to the 2019 Annual Report for further information on the Employee Share Scheme.
12. LEASE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF GENTRACK GROUP’S LEASING ACTIVITIES
Gentrack Group predominantly leases property for fixed periods of 1-12 years and may have extension options. These extension
options are usually at the discretion of Gentrack Group and are included in the measurement of the lease asset if management
intends to exercise the extension. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a variety of terms and conditions.
However, these lease agreements do not impose any covenants.
Prior to 1 October 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases. Payments
made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis
over the period of the lease.
From 1 October 2019, leases are recognised as a right of use asset (lease asset) and a corresponding lease liability at the date at
which the leased asset is available for use. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost
is charged to profit or loss over the lease period. The lease asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the
lease term on a straight-line basis.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present
value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate
• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay
to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and
conditions.
Lease assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
• any initial direct costs, and
• restoration costs.
See section 1 for more information on adjustments recognised on adoption of NZ IFRS 16 Leases, practical expedients applied and
the impact of first-time adoption of NZ IFRS 16 on these financial statements.

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.

During the period due to further alignment of the Utilities and Evolve Analytics CGU’s, the Evolve Analytics CGU has been combined
within the Utilities CGU. With the increased alignment it is now no longer possible to meaningfully separate the cash flows and they
are therefore now reported as a single CGU
14. IMPAIRMENT TESTING
At each reporting date, Gentrack Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. For the period
ended 31 March 2020 due to COVID-19 all Gentrack Group CGU’s had indicators of impairment.
Where an indicator of impairment exists, Gentrack Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. Where the carrying
value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell or the asset’s value in use. For the purposes of assessing
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each
reporting date.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post-tax discount rate that
reflects the current market assessments and the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Value in use is determined
by discounting the future cash flows generated by each CGU. Cash flows were projected based on five-year forecasts. The Weighted
Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is based on CAPM methodology using market specific inputs. The WACC for each CGU is reviewed
annually and when an impairment test is required.
Preparing five-year forecasts in a COVID-19 environment has been a challenging task due to the uncertainty of the future. In
preparing the five-year forecasts, management have reviewed the assumptions and weighed up the information available at the
time to ensure the forecasts are appropriate given the CGU’s position and the prevailing market conditions.

14. IMPAIRMENT TESTING (CONTINUED)
The key assumptions are detailed in the table below.
The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations

The terminal revenue growth rate for Gentrack Group CGU’s is calculated based on the 2024 year and assumes a continuous
growth of a minimum of projected inflation estimates of 1.25% (2019: 1.25%). These values assigned to the key assumptions
represent management’s assessments of future trends and are based on both external and internal sources.
IMPAIRMENT TESTING RESULTS – EXCLUDING BLIP SYSTEMS
The calculations confirmed there was no impairment of goodwill during the period for the Utilities and Airport 20/20 CGU’s.
Management believes that any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions for the Airport 20/20 CGU’s, would not cause
the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount.
Changes in key assumptions were considered as sensitivities. These are summarised in the table below.

Airport 20/20 14,209 992 (992) (1,811) 2,463
The Utilities CGU impairment test is sensitive to WACC discount rate, EBITDA and terminal growth rate. Detailed below is the
amount by which each assumption would have to change to result in the recoverable amount being equal to the carrying value. The
relevant sensitivities in key assumptions are as follows:
• WACC discount rate: 50 basis points increase
• EBITDA: 6.2% reduction
• Terminal growth: 63 basis points reduction
BLIP SYSTEMS – FULL IMPAIRMENT
Blip Systems was acquired by Gentrack Group in April 2017 as an innovative supplier of passenger tracking solutions principally for
airports. During the 6 months to 31 March 2020, expected sales growth has not been delivered. Further, Blip Systems is impacted
by COVID-19 with uncertainty over when the business will return to business as usual.
In view of the recent performance and the uncertainties around future performance of Blip Systems in a COVID-19 environment,
management considers a full impairment of the $10.7m carrying value of these acquired assets is appropriate. The $10.7m
impairment includes $8.7m in goodwill and $2.0m of intangible assets.
Details of the impairment related amounts are included in section 13 and section 15.
Gentrack Group will continue to leverage the Blip Systems intellectual property and it remains an important part of the overall
Veovo product offering. At present there is a strong pipeline of potential opportunities as airports globally look to technology to
address crowd management and social distancing requirements essential to the COVID-19 recovery.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Gentrack Group’s financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost except for contingent consideration which is required to be
measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Gentrack 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 RECEIVABLES
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
Gentrack 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 Gentrack
Group’s financial instruments during the period. At 31 March 2020, Gentrack Group has no level 3 financial instruments (2019:
$2.8m). In December 2019 Gentrack Group settled the call / put option related to the acquisition of Blip Systems with the payment
of $2.5m.

Independent Review Report
To the shareholders of Gentrack Group Limited
Report on the interim financial statements
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the interim
financial statements on pages 5 to 23 do not:
i. present fairly in all material respects the
Group’s financial position as at 31 March
2020 and its financial performance and
cash flows for the 6 month period ended
on that date; and
ii. comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting.
We have completed a review of the accompanying
interim financial statements which comprise:
— the condensed statement of financial position
as at 31 March 2020;
— the condensed statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for
the 6 month period then ended; and
— notes, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Basis for conclusion
A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“NZ SRE 2410”) is a limited assurance engagement. The
auditor performs procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
As the auditor of Gentrack Group Limited, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements
relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.
Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation to tax compliance, tax advisory and other
assurance services. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the
group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These
matters have not impaired our independence as reviewer of the group. The firm has no other relationship with,
or interest in, the group.
Use of this Independent Review Report
This report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we
might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the Independent Review
Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders as a body for our review work, this report, or any of the
opinions we have formed.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the interim financial statements
The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for:
— the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting;
— 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 error; and
— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the interim 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 NZ SRE 2410. NZ 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 NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion on these interim financial statements.
This description forms part of our Independent Review Report.

MARKETAND COVID-19 UPDATE
COVID-19 BUSINESS IMPACT
•We were well prepared to implement new ways of working having successfully tested business continuity measures through H1
•Substantial majority of client work remains "business as usual". We have kept projects moving and leveraged technology to maintain productivity and
services to customers
•We have stress tested our net cash forecast and while we continue to monitor carefully, concluded no need for amendments to existing banking facilities
in the near-term
•We continue to monitor government health advice and various financial relief mechanisms for our employees and the business
should they be required.
Energy Price Caps in the UK and
Australia continue with further changes expected
Financial pressures on Retailers continue,
exacerbated by COVID-19
Delays in industry projects to support rapid
switching and smart meter data
Emergence of stronger competition disrupting
the market with new offerings
Air travel shutdown has seen revenues
decline 90%+for many airports globally
Uncertainty regarding the duration
and impact of COVID-19
Opportunities for innovation –crowd
management and social distancing
Market recovery will be staggered with Nordic regions
and North America likely to be first movers

Revenue Analysis
Cost Analysis
Utilities
Airports
•Revenue reductions in UK and Australia, partially offset by increases in
recurring revenues from new business and higher existing customer volumes
•H1 FY20 profitability weakness due to combined impacts of revenue reduction
without commensurate cost reduction
•Cost base addressed through workforce reductions in February/March 2020
•Numbers shown with/without IFRS16 adjustments.
CHANGING REVENUE MIX
•Overall revenue reduction due to UK customer losses and
non-recurring revenue reduction in Australia
•Total recurring revenue accounts for 79% of total revenue
for the half, up from 68% in H1 FY19
•Committed revenue increase driven by new business wins in
UK and Australia and increased UK meter points
•Airports committed revenue continues to increase
•Recurring revenue increase consistent with SaaS transition.

ASSET WRITE-DOWNS
•Blip Systems was acquiredin April 2017 as an innovative
supplier of passenger trackingsolutions for airports
•With the Blip impacted by COVID-19 and with uncertainty
over when the business will return to business as usual,
we are taking a full impairment of the $10.7m intangible
asset carrying value
•We are continuing to leverage Blip IP and expert resources
through full integration of the business and capabilities
into Veovo
•We see a strong pipeline of opportunities as airports, rail
and theme parks globally look to technology to address
crowd management and social distancing requirements
essential to the COVID-19 recovery.

H1 FY20 CASHFLOW ANALYSIS
•Positive cashflow leading to improved
net cash position
•Strong operating cashflow in the period
driven by working capital improvement,
especially in UK where overdue balances
reduced sharply
•Liquidity outlook remains favourable
with long-term ASB facility in place
providing significant headroom.
*Adj. for IFRS16
OUTLOOK
•Utilities: COVID-19 impact on energy retailers creates a level of uncertainty with the risk
offurther failures and consolidation.
•Airports: Veovo revenues have been impacted by the travel shut down and we are seeing
some reduction in income from smaller Veovo customers.
•With the benefit of reduced people costs, we expect H2 EBITDA to be ahead of our first half
and to remain cash flow positive.
•Longer term, our SaaS products deliver cost savings and improved operations and efficiency
to Utilities and Airports on mission critical systems.Gentrack is well positioned to emerge
from the current difficult market conditions and return to consistent profit growth.
