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.
2
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.

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.
