Quarterly Activities Report

For the quarter ending 30 June 2022

ActivePort Group Ltd ("ActivePort" or "the Company"), (ASX:ATV) is pleased to report a strong finish to FY22 with revenue increasing in its services business and software sales growing rapidly to make a positive cash contribution to reserves.

Highlights:

  • FY22 (unaudited) ActivePort Group revenue is $13.3M, up 60.2% on FY21;
  • H2 software revenue grew by 482% from H1;
  • Our first enterprise-scale customer installation is complete and a second has signed-on;
  • Net cash reserves expected to grow in the coming quarter.

Group Revenue

ActivePort has two distinct revenue streams from our traditional managed services business and our relatively new ActivePortal software product. Software revenue is highly profitable, so our focus is on scaling up our software business globally whilst leveraging our managed services group for support and delivery. This strategy is working. Group revenue, up 60.2% to $13.3M for the full year was accelerated by new software sales on top of solid growth in managed services revenue.

The FY21 revenue shown in the chart above are proforma and assume

the consolidated group was in place during all of FY21. The effective date of consolidation was 27 September 2021.

Although still a small part of Group revenue, the software license revenue is growing rapidly. Software license sales generate very high gross margins and so the software contribution to cash as a percentage of revenue is much higher than our traditional managed services business. In H1FY22, 2.4%

($161K) of ActivePort Group revenue was generated by our core software. For the full year, that percentage increased to 8.3% ($1.098M) of total revenue.

This chart sets out the H1 revenue for ActivePort Group compared to full year

and the increase in revenue contribution of

ActivePort software increasing from 2.4% at the half to 8.3% full year.

In FY22 we executed two campaigns to promote our software product. Our sales team worked indirectly via channel partners globally to sell SD-WAN and we worked directly with larger customers that are using our software for specific enterprise projects. Pleasingly, this has been successful on both fronts with software revenue increasing 482% from H1FY22 to H2FY22.

This chart sets out the H1 ActivePort software revenue as compared to H2,

demonstrating an increase of 482% H1 versus H2.

A revenue reclassification of $290K (from software to other revenue)

has occurred subsequent to the ATV Activities Update announced on 14 June 2022.

Software Revenue

Our channel market is building globally with orders from the banking, utility, and retail sectors, proving the value of ActivePort's innovative multi-vendor Orchestration platform. In Q4FY22, ActivePort's MSP and ISP partner sales exceeded expectations with new sites signed across Australia, Asia and Africa. In Australia, our channel partners have identified a large sales pipeline of more than 1,000 SD-WAN ports and deployed ActivePort to new customers including DecoRug Holdings Pty Ltd, Pharmacy 4 Less Pty Ltd, Assembly Label Retail Pty Ltd, and Mr Toy's Toyworld. In Africa, we have a commitment to proceed with two banks and one large utility operator with over 350 sites and 1,200 devices that will use ActivePort's SD-WAN and Orchestration solutions with contract value in excess of $2M.

Lightstorm

Lightstorm signed with ActivePort in Q4FY22 with a total contract value exceeding $1M. Lightstorm is building a resilient and future-ready telecom network in India initially, delivering a high availability fibre-basedcarrier-neutral platform. ActivePort is also working closely with Lightstorm to support their expansion plans into Indonesia and across several other Asian markets.

The CEO of Lightstorm Telecom Ventures Amajit Gupta said:

"Our partnership with ActivePort software is instrumental in enabling software-defined capabilities for Lightstorm in key markets of interest beyond India. We look forward to our continued success and collaboration with ActivePort, together delivering to LightStorm's customers across the Asian region."

Radian Arc

We announced a circa. $8.65M deal with Radian Arc in Q3 (4 April 2022, ATV signs agreement with Radian Arc for private cloud) to deliver 11 private cloud infrastructure and hardware orchestration software instances to Radian Arc's global customer base of telecommunications providers. Radian Arc has successfully signed 36 carriers and as that roll-out progresses, we expect revenue to far exceed initial forecasts.

During FY22 ActivePort implemented sites for Radian Arc in the USA, Indonesia, Netherlands, Brazil, Malaysia, Vietnam, Macau, and Singapore. In Q1FY23, this roll-out will expand to the Middle East, North and South America, Asia, and Europe.

The majority of the revenue from the Radian Arc contract is software and related services in the form of monthly recurring charges.

Global Edge Platform

The third pillar supporting our sales strategy is a software-as-service instance of ActivePort and a global network of Edge aggregation points called Global Edge. The Global Edge platform will deliver an edge-to-cloud secure SD-WAN orchestration portal, allowing customers to instantly build a data network that connects all their branches and cloud services in minutes. A key feature of Global Edge allows customers to order last-mile fibre services to connect from Edge to Cloud. To build our capability in last-mile automation, ActivePort acquired Future Broadband in a 100% scrip swap. The acquisition of Future Broadband and integration of its core automation technology into the Global Edge platform has been completed and the ActivePort team are on track for launch in early FY23.

The Radian Arc agreements were announced on 4 April 2022 and the acquisition of Future Broadband was announced on 19 April 2022. Other individual contracts referred to in this announcement are not material on their own, however their combined effect demonstrates continued growth.
