Founders' Commentary

$138m Cash Realised, Ongoing Fully Franked Dividend Policy of 4% pa of NTA ushers in new era for BTI

Since we wrote to you last we have:

  • Completed and received $118m in cash for the sale of our share of Instaclustr to US-listed data and storage giant NetApp
  • Completed and received $20m in cash for the sale of our share of Standard Media Index (SMI) to US private equity investor GTCR
  • Announced a comprehensive capital management policy which will deliver to shareholders an ongoing fully franked dividend of 4% of NTA per share per annum and a one-off special fully franked dividend of a further 2% of NTA per share

The inflow of $138 million in cash and the subsequent announcement of an ongoing dividend of 4% of NTA per share per annum are important steps in the journey we have been on since listing on the ASX. Our aim is to create a large, listed information technology investment company that offers a wide range of investors the opportunity to partner with us as we seek out and invest in some of the best growth stage information technology companies in this part of the world.

Growing to the size we have and selling the two positions we have during a period of high valuations allows us to structure our returns to shareholders in a way that optimises shareholder returns for the long term. Our investment proposition has evolved in a way we think will be very positive for shareholders. We now offer a consistent fully franked dividend of 4% of NTA per share per annum. Should the share price trade at a discount to the NTA per share of the fund - as it has for much

of our listed life - the annual yield on share price to shareholders from the dividend payment will be even higher than 4% pa.

However, we want to make it very clear, an attractive dividend yield is not the primary way in which we expect to deliver investment returns to shareholders. Our number one aim as investors on your behalf is to invest in growth stage information technology companies, partner with founders and management to grow the value of the companies we invest in and realise significant capital gains when the time is right. This is what we have been doing for the nearly eight years we have been listed and this is what we will continue doing. Investors should think of the regular fully franked dividend at an attractive yield as simply de-risking and bringing forward their total return.

We remain confident of delivering high blended growth in capital returns to shareholders for the following reasons:

  1. Valuations in technology stocks have declined sharply all over the world and new investments will be at prices that give us a good chance of repeating the returns we have delivered so far
  2. We hold two excellent public company positions - SiteMinder and Straker Translations - that we believe have significant value upside from current trading prices
  3. We hold just 23% of the portfolio in private company positions currently. We are very happy with the operating and financial performance of those companies
  4. We continue to see a steady stream of exciting new private company investment opportunities and regularly expect to make new investments

Attached to this month's statement are Case Studies of the two investments we have just exited - Instaclustr and SMI. We hope the Case Studies help shareholders understand more fully what we do. In the Case Studies we talk about the original investment thesis - why we thought our investment would grow in value - what we learned along the way and what delivered the returns for us all in the end. As you will see from the Case Studies, the drivers of valuation growth and our returns are always the same. They are growth in revenue, improved quality of revenue, margin expansion, profitable unit economics, valuation multiple expansion, and efficient use of capital.

What you don't see from the Case Studies is how growth and improvement in these six drivers of value are achieved. For that we are incredibly grateful to our founders and management teams. We work hard to be supportive, insightful and problem solvers for the founders and managers we invest with, and we are all of those things, but in the end it is the founders and managers of the businesses who create the value for us and for you and we will never forget that.
