Annual Meeting of Shareholders Chair’s address


The fiscal year 2022 has been a successful year for Gentrack. We won several new

customers and are successfully expanding into larger customers in line with our

strategy. Our peoples’ pride and engagement is strong and continues to improve –

helping us to deliver great results across our customer programs.

The Group’s strong revenue results were driven by a 21.6% increase in the Utilities

business to $108.2m. This impressive growth was achieved against the backdrop of

UK insolvencies at the start of the year in the B2C energy market. Our underlying

growth, excluding those insolvencies was 24.3%. Veovo’s annual recurring revenue

continued to grow up 9.2% over FY21, underpinning total Veovo revenue growth of

7.9% to $18.1m.

EBITDA performance was $8.1m, $4.6m lower than FY21 after funding our planned

increase in strategic R&D spend alongside growing our Sales & Marketing base and

investment in our people capability.

Our cash position improved against the backdrop of business growth, which allowed

us to both invest in our products and our people and generate cash in the year. Net

cash at $27.4m on 30 September 2022 was $1.4m higher than the prior year.

FY22 has reinforced Gentrack’s increasing win rate and innovation with existing

customers. We secured 6 new logos in our Utilities business including Mercury, now

New Zealand’s largest energy supplier, who chose to integrate their newly acquired

Trustpower business onto the Gentrack platform. We see growth opportunities in

Australia, New Zealand and the UK across both the water and energy sectors.

Looking forward, we plan to expand beyond these core geographies and have

launched our 50 in 15 program; the first big step towards our global leadership by

striving to service 50 million meter points in 15 countries. During the year we secured

a major new customer in Singapore which is an example of the progress we are

making in growing our pipeline in the wider APAC region. Alongside Asia, we will

focus on expanding out into EMEA from our UK base.

Our Veovo business has consistently grown its recurring revenue across the aviation

downturn winning new work with Norway’s Avinor as well as expanding our scope with

Tier one airports. This reinforces our success in selling to, and servicing, the larger

airports and airport groups which are our key growth target.

In September 2022, we launched our new composable, cloud based, technology

stack, g2.0. This is a key milestone for our Utilities business and brings together three

technology leaders; Gentrack, Salesforce and AWS. This will allow our existing

customers the opportunity to benefit from greater flexibility and innovation and

positions us well to win and service new Tier one and Tier two operators.

At Veovo, our investments in our technology during the pandemic are showing

positive signs in both new customer pipeline and upsells at existing customers.

Both water and energy are essential services which should be less impacted in the

event of a global economic downturn. Meanwhile, sustainability targets for energy and

water are still in effect and are driving an increasingly accelerating trend of IT and

business transformations in the sector which will benefit Gentrack.

The UK government has taken corrective action to stabilise the UK B2C energy market.

We have not seen any further customer insolvencies since December 2021, and we

expect this market stabilisation will continue. In December 2022, the Government

completed the sale of Bulb, which had been in special administration. During fiscal

year 2023, we will continue to support the administrators of Bulb as we manage the

exit of this customer from our platform.

The aviation sector is now seeing passenger numbers and travel demand returning.

We see signs that this recovery will result in new business as airports seek to invest in

ways to improve efficiency and service and catch up with pent up IT demand for

modernisation.

We are pleased with the progress made in the year, on sales, on delivering customer

transformations, on building our people capability and modernising our technology.

The water, energy and airports industries are in need of transformation and Gentrack

is well positioned to capture the global market opportunity.

In closing I’d like to thank all our customers and shareholders for their continuing

support of Gentrack this year and to recognise the tremendous achievements of the

whole Gentrack Team in driving the renewal of the business over the past year.


Thank you very much.


Andy Green

Chair

Updated Guidance for FY23

Today, we provided the following updated guidance for FY23

In FY23 we now expect to earn c.$25m from managing the exit of a major UK customer,

which is c.$12m more than we had previously guided. This additional revenue and the

associated EBITDA benefit is expected to be a one-off increase and will be recognised

substantially in the first half of the year. In line with our previous guidance, we do not expect

significant revenue from this customer beyond the current financial year and so our guidance

for FY24 of revenue of c.$150m and an EBITDA margin of 12-17% remains unchanged.
