Spirit is pleased to provide its December Quarterly activity report to our shareholders.

  • The Spirit group finished our second quarter as a listed entity, with a cash balance of $1.7m and a total debt of $4.2m, resulting in a net debt position of $2.5m.

  • Cash generated from operations during the quarter totalled $53,000. Significant cash items were incurred in the quarter relating to ongoing M&A activity (Legal, due diligence and corporate advisory) of

  • The 32 'on-net' buildings added during the December quarter took our half year total to 59. Spirit's 'land-grab' strategy of maximising on-net buildings will yield future revenue, as customer penetration levels increase. Investment into these building fit-outs reached

  • In line with our intention to make acquisitions that "…support and enhance the existing business", Spirit was pleased to finalise the acquisition of Phone Name Marketing Pty Ltd and Inbound Telecommunications Unit trust in Dec 2016. While its contribution to quarterly cash flows was minor, we are confident this acquisition will perform accordingly in the future. This was the third acquisition in Spirit's history and the first as a listed entity. As part of Spirit's ongoing strategy we continue to explore growth opportunities through acquisition.

$235,000. In addition, we have made further investment in sales and marketing staff and customer service of approximately $80k, as we pursue our revenue growth objectives.

$475,000. This represents an increase of $236,000 CAPEX on the prior period, due to the size and volume of larger building deployments.
