CONTRACTS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS1

TCV & ARR2:

For personal use only

  • ARR grew 15% to $6.0m compared to the prior quarter (Q3 FY2022) and was up 76% compared to Q4 FY2021
  • TCV grew 80% to $17.8m compared to Q4 FY2021 and was up 7% compared to Q3 FY2022
    The quarter-to-quarter movement in TCV is due to the addition of new contracts and the depletion of existing contracts as the remaining term reduces
  • A major contract was signed with BHP Iron Ore during the quarter (see Major Contracts section of this report for more detail) and a purchase order signed with Rio Tinto (contributing to TCV but not impacting ARR due to its one-off nature)

Invoices Raised and Cash Receipts:

Cash Receipts from Customers during the quarter were up 170% over Q4 FY2021 at $5.4m. Compared to the prior quarter Q3 FY2022, Cash Receipts were up 200%. Full year Cash Receipts were up 77% on FY2021.

onlyThe timing and collection of Invoices Raised into Cash Receipts throughout the year vary by month and quarter and are historically concentrated in the June and September quarters due to a niversary dates of annual contracts. Cash receipts are also influenced by timing of implementation fees against project milestones on individual contracts and payment terms (annual billing cycle).

usepersonalInvoices Raised during the quarter were $3.8m, up 15% over the prior quarter and 46% higher compared to Q4 FY2021. The timing of Invoices Raised varies as explained above.

ForNet Operating Cashflow:

Net operating cashflow was positive in the June quarter at $1.7m, a function of the timing of receipts and payables, and recent sales.

This sets a pathway for the business to achieve a positive net operating cash position on an annualised basis as we achieve growth in recurring revenue through new contracts being signed.

Due to the variation in timing of quarterly invoicing, we however expect net operating cash flow to fluctuate on a quarterly basis over coming quarters until recurring revenues have sufficiently reached a level that net operating cash is positive on an annualised basis (see reference to the annual billing cycle explained in the paragraphs above).

Nic Pollock CEO of K2fly said "We are very pleased with the quarterly and annual growth achieved across our key financial metrics in closing out the financial year FY2022 to record levels. Our management team is demonstrating a strong track record of delivering high growth whilst implementing ongoing business improvement initiatives across sales, product, delivery, and finance. onlyConsequently, we delivered a new record quarterly invoicing amount, new milestones in ARR and TCV and a positive June quarter net operating cash flow ($1.7m) which reduced our annual net operating cash flow deficit to just over one million dollars for the year end. This sets a pathway for

the business to achieve a net positive operating cash position on an annualised basis.

We are extremely proud to now count BHP as another one of the global Tier 1 customers to the K2fly list having signed our first contract in the quarter. This shows strong relevance of our solutions to Tier 1 miners and beyond. Annual Recurring Revenue base has grown to $6.0m from $3.4m in FY2021.

In line with our other Tier 1 clients, we see considerable potential to win further work with BHP. More usebroadly, we will continue to focus on Tier 1 and 2 miners globally for which we see a strong runway within our existing customer base to roll out our additional, complimentary solutions. There remains great scope to service and penetrate, more broadly geographically and more deeply into,

commodity types of our existing customers.

Our strong expectation of future growth is underpinned by our leading solutions being more relevant to our customers than ever. This is driven by a growing expectation among our customers key

stakeholders of seeing a more sustainable mining sector. We remain bullish on the thematic that personalintegrating ESG solutions into their businesses is no longer a choice but a necessity being driven by

investors, community expectations and regulators."
