ikeGPS 1H FY25 Financial Results
For immediate release, 21 November 2024
1H FY25 Financial Results
Solid subscription revenue growth with an exit run rate of ~NZ$13.2m annualised (+34% vs pcp).
Gross margin improves to ~NZ$8.1m (+31% vs pcp), with a Gross Margin percentage of ~67%.
A record ~NZ$33m in contracts won in the period, across ~415 deals.
ikeGPS Group Limited (IKE) (NZX: IKE / ASX: IKE) is pleased to release the results for 1H FY25 to 30
September 2024. All figures are in NZD.
Highlights for the half year, with results in-line with the performance update on 24 October 2024:
Exit run rate of annual platform subscription revenue grew to ~NZ$13.2m (+34% vs pcp).
Total recognized revenue in the six-month period of ~NZ$12.2m (+16% vs pcp).
Recognized subscription revenue of ~NZ$6.5m (+28% vs pcp).
Recognized transaction revenue of ~NZ$4.0m (+6% vs pcp).
Recognized hardware and other services revenue of ~NZ$1.7 (in-line with pcp).
Gross margin of ~NZ$8.1m (+31% vs pcp), with a gross margin percentage of ~67% (up
from pcp of ~59%).
Net loss was ~NZ$6.9m (pcp ~NZ$6.4m).
Non-cash items included in this Net loss amount totalled ~$3.7M (pcp ~NZ$2.2m).
Cash used in Operating activities of ~NZ$2.6m (~51% lower vs pcp).
Commenting on company progress since the release of its quarterly performance update mid-
October 2024, IKE CEO Glenn Milnes said: “since updating the market a month ago we are pleased to
have executed on continued sales momentum with ~NZ$4m in contracts closed in the month of
October (~NZ$2.4m for subscription products and ~NZ$1.6m for transaction & other products).
Two important items were also advanced from a product perspective since 1 October. AI &
automation capabilities have been launched inside of IKE’s core IKE Office Pro product. This will
initially drive productivity and increase the gross margin of IKE’s tech-enabled IKE Analyze business
process but is expected to become an additional up-sell subscription product for the hundreds of
external IKE Office Pro enterprise customers.
Additionally, IKE has continued to collaborate closely with its customer council of leaders of North
American electric utility businesses, representing companies delivering power to over seventy million
customers. This key customer collaboration targets our development efforts, and based on their
inputs, to drive more subscription product adoption.
Our balance sheet position remains strong, noting that cash used in operations in the period
decreased to ~NZ$2.6m, improving 51% vs pcp, and that our overall cash position has reduced
~NZ$3m over the past 12-months while we’ve invested significantly into building five new products,
three of which were launched in 1H FY25, and while we have continued our expansion in the market
with new customer wins running at ~one per week.

The commentary and charts below reflect what was released in the mid-October 2024 performance
update. It is repeated here for consistency: "Q2 FY25 represented another strong period with
significant subscription contracts closed with tier-1 North American customers that continue to grow
our ARR run rates.
In addition, we closed a record ~NZ$33m of total contracts in the six-month period across ~415
deals, noting that some subscription and transaction contracts will be recognized over a multi-year
period and that execution of some of these transaction contracts rely on underlying IKE customers
completing their associated engineering.
Our customer retention rates remain excellent at ~95% and our sales pipeline for new business is
strong and growing.
With respect to core subscription revenue and ARR, since the launch of the new IKE PoleForeman
product 10 months ago, Total Contract Value (TCV) has exceeded $12.5m from mostly tier-1 electric
utilities in the U.S. market. Due to the extremely sticky nature of these customers, the life-time value
of these contracts is significant. In total, ~84 customers have now subscribed to this new platform,
of which ~50 were existing customers and ~34 are new customers. This has translated to several
thousand new seat licenses, each representing a distribution network design engineer utilizing the
software. We expect more major customers to close in the near term and that IKE PoleForeman will
ultimately be the Standard for structural analysis in eight of the ten largest electric utilities in North
America.
Total subscription revenue in FY25 is expected to grow strongly at ~40% or greater vs pcp. This
outlook was revised down from 50% from the start of the financial year based on the likely timing to
close some major pipeline contracts with various tier-1 investor-owned utilities, given that the
associated subscription revenue is recognized over the subsequent 12-month period from close. Our
guidance for ~40% growth or greater in FY25 Subscription revenue is somewhat dependent on the
timing of customer conversions onto the new IKE PoleForeman product. A delay in the up-sale close
processes, with various existing customers, could lead to slightly lower revenue recognition in FY25,
but we remain very confident that this revenue would be recognized in subsequent periods. This is
because we have customer contracts in place and given the conversion of older version PoleForeman
customers has been strong year-to-date due to the enhanced next-gen product on offer and its
productivity features.
Transaction revenue in FY25 is expected to continue to grow against the prior year based on contracts
in place, but with a wider range of potential profiles and, as such, represents higher risk – both upside
and downside. IKE generates additive transaction revenue, on top of base subscription revenue, from
some customers as they engineer more network assets in our system.
Our margin profile was also stronger in 1H FY25 vs pcp at ~67% (up from 59% in the pcp). This
improvement is due to a shift in the product mix toward higher-margin subscription revenue. We
expect this trend to continue.
We believe macro-market tailwinds across North America remain highly supportive of IKE’s business
and will continue to grow over the coming decades. Our North American-headquartered team is
executing on sizable sales opportunities. Based on closed, long-term contracts with some of the
largest utilities in this market, an expanding pipeline, and noting that today IKE has less than ~6%
market share, we expect healthy growth in the 2H FY25 period and beyond.”

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 until 31 December 2024.
Reconciliation is as follows:
Additional commentary:
New AI-based products launched to market in Q2. Unique whole-of-network intelligence for the North
American industry.
Q2 FY25 was an exciting period for IKE in terms of innovation with the launch of new AI-based
products. This has followed significant investment into building automation capability specific to
productivity outcomes for the assessment & design of distribution networks and associated
engineering workflows.
The solutions launched in Q2 were:
- Double-Wood Detective, see https://ikegps.com/ike-insight/double-wood-detective/.
o Double-Wood (also known as a buddy-pole, ghost-pole, or two-pole) is a prevalent
issue for all electric utilities, with up to 10 million of these assets estimated to be
across the U.S. power network. Double-Wood can result in lagging pole transfers,
backlogs, and communication gaps between pole owners and ‘attachers’. When

unaddressed, these assets create a safety hazard and can be the most vulnerable
point in a distribution power network. Regulators are increasing their focus on this
risk as well. Because of the size and age of any distribution network, many utilities
do not have a strong grasp of these assets and their exposure.
o Double Wood Detective from IKE helps utilities identify and validate double-wood
instances at whole-of-network scale, using bulk imagery & AI. This dramatically
increases network intelligence and reduces cost and time resource-intensive field
inspection requirements.
- Joint-Use Ticket Automation, see https://ikegps.com/ike-insight/joint-use-ticket-
automation/
o Joint-Use Ticketing represents an industry-wide requirement across North America
for network owners to communicate with one-another wherever a distribution pole
is shared, say between a power company and a fiber company, for billing, engineering
and maintenance. There are more than 200 million poles in the U.S. market alone,
most of them shared, so joint-use ticketing is currently a significant cost, risk, and
administrative burden for all network operators. Backlogs put these companies at
risk with contractual or regulatory obligations, creating liability exposure.
o The Joint-Use Ticketing Automation solution from IKE helps utilities,
communications companies, and engineering firms dramatically streamline this
process. Using AI & machine learning, this product seamlessly creates, populates,
and updates NJUNS tickets using existing bulk data, dramatically reducing costs and
time, and materially increasing process accuracy.
Several other new AI solutions will be launched to market from 2H FY25. Capabilities will include
automation tools inside of IKE’s Office Pro product. This will initially drive productivity for IKE’s
internal Analyze team but ultimately will be an up-sell opportunity into IKE’s widely established
customer footprint of IKE Office Pro users, further increasing ARPU.
Balance sheet & working capital strength:
As of 30 September 2024, total cash and receivables are ~NZ$11.1m, comprised of ~NZ$6.8m
cash and ~NZ$4.3m receivables, with payables of NZ$1.0m and no debt.
As context, cash has reduced ~NZ$3m over the past 12 months during a period of substantial
investment into building five new products, three of which have now been launched to market, and
through a period of substantial recurring revenue and customer growth. Investment into product
development is paying back, an example being IKE PoleForeman. This new product has been in-
market for ~nine months and as above to date the product has generated ~$12.5m in Total
Contract Value and has increased IKE’s ARR by ~NZ$4.0m. Management and the Board remain
cognizant of the importance of maintaining a strong balance sheet position, executing against
immediate revenue growth opportunities whilst retaining the ability to manage costs appropriately.
Macro-market tailwinds remain across North America
As consistently stated, macro-market tailwinds across North America remain highly supportive of
IKE’s business and are growing, driven by the forecasted $300B investment by electric utilities into
building & maintaining distribution power network capacity and associated network hardening. To
meet caron-zero targets in the U.S. by 2050, analysts forecast that approximately 50% of the energy
in the U.S. needs to be on the electrical grid, from a position of just 20% today. Additively, there are
multi-year investments being made into building overhead fiber and 5G networks by more than 200
communications companies. IKE’s product suite drive productivity outcomes supporting the lifecycle
of these networks.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
1. Reporting entity
ikeGPS Group Limited (the “Company”) is a limited liability company domiciled and incorporated in New
Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (“NZX”)
and Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). The Company is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
September 2024 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”), which
include ikeGPS Limited and ikeGPS Inc.
The principal activity of the Group is that of design, sale, and delivery of a solution for the collection, analysis,
and management of distribution assets for electric utilities and communications companies.
The consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on21 November
2024.
2. Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise
stated.
Basis of measurement
These unaudited interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2024 have been
prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”) and NZ IAS
34, Interim Financial Reporting.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis with the exception of
certain financial instruments, which are measured in accordance with the specific relevant accounting policy.
These unaudited interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an
annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2024, which were prepared in accordance with
the New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). All significant
accounting policies have been applied on a basis consistent with those used in the audited financial
statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Critical estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management
in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as
those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024, unless
separately identified in the notes.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
At the end of the period, the Group has reviewed the cash generating unit (CGU) carrying amounts, key
assumptions, and estimates for indicators of impairment. The Directors have identified the following CGUs:
+ CGU1 – IKE Core platform
+ CGU2 – Spike
+ CGU3 – IKE Structural
+ CGU4 – IKE Insight
The Directors determined that there have been no material changes since the 31 March 2024 Annual Report
for CGU1, CGU2, and CGU3.
However, indicator of impairment existed in CGU4 due to the lower-than-expected revenue, requiring an
estimate of the CGU4 recoverable amount.
CGU4 was determined to have a carrying value of $6.9M including goodwill. CGU4 is an early-stage business
segment and technology asset that IKE acquired January 2021. Future cash flows are forecasted based on a
five-year business model for CGU4, with the year two revenue forecasted to be $1.7M with an average
revenue growth rate of 120% in years three to five and operating expenses reflecting the FY25 business plan.
A pre-tax discount rate of 15.9% was used to establish the recoverable amount on a value in use basis. In
determining the terminal value, the Group applied a 2% growth rate.
The Directors believe that given the large desire for automation in the industry and use of artificial intelligence
to complete pole analysis the CGU could outperform these estimates. During the year the first of several
products to be released have been launched in the marketplace with further products close to commercial
launch.
However, given the prior years lower than expected revenue the Directors have taken a prudent approach to
forecasting future revenues.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Based on this approach, the Directors have determined that no impairment of CGU4’s intangible assets of is
required as the carrying amount does not exceeded the value in use calculation.
Going concern
Notwithstanding the above, the Group has prepared cash flow forecasts and sensitivity analyses that indicate
cash-on-hand at the end of the 6 month period (NZ$6.8M), combined with the net cash flows from operations,
will enable the Group to continue operating as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of
authorising these consolidated financial statements
The considered view of the Board Directors is that the going concern assumption is valid. This view has been
reached after making due enquiry and having regard to the circumstances that the Directors consider will
occur and those that are reasonably likely to affect the Group during the period of one year from the date
these consolidated financial statements are approved.
The Group recorded a net loss of NZ$7.1M (Unaudited) for the 6 months ended 30 September 2024 (2023:
NZ$6.9M) with a cashflow deficit of NZ$3.0M for the same period (2023: NZ$8.1M) and is expected to make
further losses in the following financial year whilst continuing our trajectory to cash breakeven.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
Other liabilities are obligations from prior year business combinations and were initially recorded at fair value. They are deferred
consideration and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
The Group has employment agreements that result in cash payments being made to certain staff at the end of a service period. The
expense is accrued as services are delivered and payment is made at the end of the service period. The liability was initially measured at
fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
September 2024

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on its revenue and a significant portion of its expenses that are denominated in USD,
which is different to the Group’s presentational and parent’s functional currency NZD. Additionally, the institutional placement and share
purchase plan completed during the 2022 financial year was predominantly in AUD, creating additional foreign currency risk exposure.
Therefore, the Group has purchased AUD/USD foreign exchange options to mitigate the risk on its AUD cash holdings.
If the NZD strengthened / weakened against the USD or AUD by 10% at 30 September 2024, the effect on profit / loss is as follows:
