Q&A

ikeGPS
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.
