Q&A

4
•Significant growth in underlying
subscription revenue.
•Three-year subscription revenue CAGR of
33%.
•During FY25, this is expected to increase
materially, and by greater than 50%, due
partially to the successful Q3 launch & Q4
sell-through of IKE’s next-generation IKE
PoleForeman product.
•IKE PoleForeman contracts closed in Q4
FY24 do not significantly impact recognized
revenue in FY24 but will materially lift
revenue in FY25.
•TCV to date from ~47 customers is
greater than NZ$12m.
•>2,700 subscribers added.
Subscription revenue growth has continued to be consistently strong
(+22% pcp)
Takeaways:
ikeGPS
5
•Three-year transaction revenue
CAGR of 47%, but 61% lower in
FY24 vs pcp due to FY23 seeing
outsize customer growth and
activity.
•Based on guidance from long-
term customers IKE expects
transaction volumes and
associated revenue to build into
FY25.
But transaction revenue was down vs pcp (-61% pcp)
Takeaways:
ikeGPS
6
•Three-year revenue CAGR of
31%.
•Recurring subscription and
reoccurring transaction
revenues (shown by the green
and blue segments in this chart)
dominate IKE’s revenue mix, at
86% for FY24.
•A Loss of ~NZ$15m while the
business invested substantially
in products, sales, marketing
and customer acquisition.
•As a result, an expectation for
healthy revenue growth in the
FY25 period.
Revenue FY24 of ~$21.1m (-31% pcp)

Customer Number Reconciliation:
•Since 31 December 2023 IKE has changed its reporting
of customer numbers from ‘All Enterprise Customers’
to ‘Subscription Customers’, reflecting only customers
with recurring subscription revenue. The reconciliation
between these two metrics will be reported for the
next 4 periods to 31 December 2024. Reconciliation as
follows:
Update and Outlook
ikeGPS
11
•Recurring Subscription revenue is expected to grow at 50% or greater vs pcpto ~$16m
per annum or greater. Based on:
•the ongoing growth of our core IKE Office Pro subscription product (>30% CAGR
over the past three years) and with ~95% customer retention.
•the sell-through of our new IKE PoleForemanproduct with more than NZ$12m of
TCV closed since its Q3 launch.
•Re-occurring Transaction revenue is expected to grow, but with a wide range of
potential growth profiles and as such represents higher risk –both upside and downside.
•Overall, IKE closed ~NZ$27m of contracts in the FY24 period, against approximately
NZ$21m of recognized revenue.
•New design and AI products in-market through 1H FY25.
•The sales pipeline for new business is strong and growing.
•IKE won 59 new subscription customers in the U.S. market over the past year with a land
& expand model, continuing a win rate of approximately one new customer per week.
•Macro-market tailwinds across the electric utility and communications market in North
America remain highly supportive of the productivity products that IKE delivers.
Expectation for >50% growth in subscription revenue in FY25.
