Annual Meeting of Shareholders Chair’s address
The fiscal year 2021 for Gentrack was an exciting year of progress, with major
restructuring completed and a return to growth in the Utilities business.
Veovo showed slight revenue decline but maintained its position as an essential
supplier to the airport sector. It remained a net contributor to the Group, despite
the pressures of the pandemic on the aviation industry.
The group’s revenue growth was driven by an 8.8% increase in Utilities to $89.0m
from $81.8m in the previous year - with new customer wins and growth from existing
customers offsetting previous years’ losses. Veovo revenues were down from
$18.7m in FY20 to $16.7m due to continued impact of Covid on the aviation
industry, but pleasingly annual recurring revenues (ARR) were up 7.7% as new
customers moved into live operation.
Underlying Group EBITDA of $12.7m was up 5.0% on FY20, slightly ahead of the
guidance issued earlier in the year. Costs were up 5.2% vs FY20 driven by increased
investment in personnel development and training, with continued savings in non-
personnel costs and the introduction of our Indian development center and
associated cost base. The Group achieved strong net cash generation of $9.2m for
the period resulting in net cash of $26.0m at 30 September 2021.
In Utilities, the energy industry is going through a rapid transformation to address
the triple challenge of decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation. At the
same time, the water industry is modernizing to address better customer service
and to introduce much needed operational efficiencies. Both energy and water are
moving away from large, on- premise and inflexible systems to innovative, agile,
cloud-based solutions, like Gentrack. This IT transformation is an essential step in
the industry’s move into cloud technologies and the sustainable era.
Gentrack Group Ltd | ARBN 169 195 751
With this energy transition well underway, at our June 2021 Strategy Presentation
we communicated our three strategic growth pillars for utilities – further developing
our customer base, winning new logos and rolling out managed services. Gary will
update you on progress on these in a little while.
At Veovo, we are still feeling the impact of the pandemic on the aviation industry
but are starting to see signs of global recovery. Despite global restrictions we won
4 new logos, signed extended support contracts and upgrades and delivered 6
major projects across the globe. The transition of our customers to our Passenger
Predictability SaaS platform has moved at pace and we will continue the investment
in R&D in the next fiscal year to prepare us for the recovery of the market.
On the people front, we are committed to being a high performance, people-
centric technology organisation. We have put this focus into action with higher
reward and more training where required. Employee engagement is up and the
organisation is moving at pace. Our commitment continues to focus on both
investing in technology and people for both Utilities and Veovo.
I’d like to thank the great team of Gentrack people across the world for their
dedication and innovation in a transformational year for the company.
For FY22 we are forecasting growth beyond FY21. This is despite the impact of the
pandemic on the aviation industry and the recent unprecedented market
conditions in the UK energy sector. Gary will also comment further on this.
At this meeting we are saying goodbye to our CFO James Spence. I’d like to thank
James for all he has done at Gentrack- steadying the ship as interim CEO and
ensuring the business manages cash really well, and is able to forecast its revenues
reliably, stand out amongst his may achievements. We wish him well for the future.
We are delighted to welcome our new CFO John Priggen here today.
In closing I’d like to thank shareholders for their continued support of the company
during its transformation and to thank Gary and his leadership team and my Board
colleagues for their commitment over the past year.
Thank you very much.
