FY19 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS.

Major contract win to deliver our second billing system in Finland - following the Go-Live of the first system earlier in the year for one of the largest energy companies in the Nordics

New utility analytics SaaS product for the Nordic region now has 20 customers $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$

8 client upgrades to the new version of our US municipalities billing system have commenced п

As the existing MDM solution provider for a major Australian energy distributor, we were chosen to deliver a new network billing solution so that metering and billing are in the one system

Vietnam development centre now grown to 100 people, from 9 people a year ago $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$

  • Acquisition of Sigma Systems refer page 14 $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$
  • Further strengthening of the regional management structures appointment of Regional Finance Directors for both EMEA and the Americas, as well as Senior VP Accounts and Senior VP Sales for EMEA

REVENUE SPLIT.

Sigma acquisition rebalances the portfolio both by vertical and geographically

Based on proforma FY19 revenue as if Sigma owned for all of FY19

REVENUE BRIDGE FY18 TO FY19.

Note:

  1. FY19 revenue would have been \$0.2m lower without the introduction of AASB 15 (refer page 20 in Appendices)

$\circ$

RECURRING/NON-RECURRING REVENUE BRIDGE FY18 TO FY19.

Recurring revenues have grown to represent 63% of total revenue in FY191

Notes:

    1. This follows the implementation of the new accounting standard AASB 15 (which has the effect of reducing reported recurring revenue) and a reclassification of some of Enoro's revenues which also lowered recurring revenue
    1. FY18 revenues in the chart above have been adjusted as if AASB 15 was also in place during FY18, with the impact being a \$1.8m reduction in revenue - all of it recurring. This amount has not been audited
    1. FY19 revenue would have been \$0.2m lower without the introduction of AASB 15 (refer page 20 in Appendices)

Recurring revenue = recurring maintenance, support, licence and dedicated service revenue Non-recurring revenue = service/project revenue, non-recurring licence revenue and hardware/software sales

EBITDA BRIDGE: FY18 TO FY19.

Notes:

One-off items comprise: \$2.1m of transaction costs relating to Sigma acquisition; \$0.7m for onerous lease provision for closure of US call $1_{\cdots}$ centre office; and \$0.1m of restructuring costs incurred in Sigma (refer Note 4 to the Financial Statements for separately disclosed items)

EBITDA MARGIN.

UNDERLYING1 EBITDA MARGIN

  • Excluding Sigma (which had a modest EBITDA contribution $\overline{\phantom{a}}$ in June), the underlying EBITDA margin declined from 26.0% in FY18 to 24.6% in FY19
  • × This reduced margin was the direct result of the lower nonrecurring revenue, as we were able to maintain our expense base at the same level as FY18, notwithstanding the investment in Vietnam
  • To improve our margin, we have been taking steps to reduce $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$ our cost base. Our Vietnam development centre is now 100 people strong (up from 9 people a year ago), which has now been further complimented with an office in Pune, India of 260 people that came with the Sigma acquisition. Of course, given the "start-up" nature of our Ho Chi Minh office, we expect it will be a couple of years before the benefit to margin (rather than the current drag) will flow through
  • Incremental margin improvement is also continued to be $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$ expected over the next few years from the Enoro business acquired in July 2017. While revenues have grown and margins have improved since the acquisition, there remains great opportunity to generate further increased profitability from this business

Notes:

  1. Underlying EBITDA margin excludes one-off items from costs

FY20 OUTLOOK.

  • Hansen has the people, products, systems & processes and customer partnerships to drive growth in FY20 and $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$ bevond
  • $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$ In FY20, we expect operating revenues at around the \$305m to \$310m level and EBITDA in the range of \$70m to \$76m
  • This guidance: $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$
  • includes a full year contribution from Sigma
  • excludes the impact of IFRS 16, which will take effect in FY20, and essentially treats operating leases as finance leases
  • Now more than ever, our customers are looking for better ways to serve their customers and efficiencies to $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$ improve their profitability. Significantly enhanced by the recent acquisitions of Enoro and Sigma, both with software at the forefront of digital transformation, we have the tools to help make that happen
  • We also enter FY20 with great momentum with the signing of new logos, including new market entries in India $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$ and Hong Kong for Sigma, as well as our first customer for our next-generation meter and energy product for the Nordics. Expectations are for more to come over the remainder of the year.
  • In addition, our early conversations with some of our utility customers regarding the Sigma offering have been $\mathcal{L}_{\rm{eff}}$ very positive

ADOPTION OF AASB 15 - REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

  • AASB 15 is a new accounting standard for revenue recognition taking effect in FY19. Hansen has chosen to initially apply $\blacksquare$ the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on 1 July 2018, with comparative figures for prior reporting periods not being restated
  • Prior to the adoption of AASB 15, some of the group's licence fees were recognised evenly over the contractual period. $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{A}}$ However, with the introduction of AASB 15, for a number of such customer contracts, a portion of the revenue will now be recognised early (often at the beginning) in the contracted period
  • By way of example, for a customer where we are contracted to receive a combined licence and support fee of \$1.0m per year for 5 years, prior to the adoption of AASB 15 we would have recognised revenue of \$1.0m per annum for 5 years. Following the introduction of AASB 15, the amount of the total contract value determined to represent the licence component of the fee will be recognised at the beginning of the contracted period, while the support component will be recognised evenly over the contracted period
  • For such customer contracts that were renewed prior to 30 June 2018 and extend into FY19 and beyond, the portion of the total contracted amount beyond 30 June 2018 that represents the licence component is adjusted to the opening balance of retained earnings on 1 July 2018 and is no longer recognised as revenue going forward - the total of this amount was \$2.0m
  • FY19 revenue was impacted in two ways by the new standard that had the net effect of increasing revenue by \$0.2m: $\blacksquare$
  • \$1.5m that would have previously been recognised as licence fees (of a recurring nature) during the period were no $\overline{\phantom{m}}$ longer able to be recognised under AASB 15 and formed part of the adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on 1 July 2018
  • contracts that were renewed during FY19 (including one for a further 5 years) resulted in \$1.7m of licence revenue being recognised upfront (as non-recurring revenue) and will no longer be recognised as revenue evenly over the contracted periods (despite the cash being received evenly over the contracted periods)

CONSTANT CURRENCY REVENUE BRIDGE 1H18 TO 2H19.

Notes:

    1. Movements are on a constant currency basis currency movements have been calculated whereby 2H18 revenue has been translated at 1H18 average exchange rates, 1H19 revenue at 2H18 average rates and 2H19 revenue at 1H19 average rates
    1. Other revenue comprises data centre and call-centre only revenue
