Result Summary

We are pleased to announce a full-year Adjusted EBITDA profit of $0.5m, an improvement of $4.5m YOY and ahead of the Company’s stated goal of transitioning to Adjusted EBITDA positive during FY23. The result has been achieved with meaningful contributions from each region and product suite, with EVS Industrial and the Americas region showing particularly strong growth.

Revenue has grown 8.3% YOY to $57.9m, of which 85.5% or $49.5m is contractually recurring. A balanced approach to cash management, product development and growth has seen a continued improvement in gross profit, achieving 51.6% in FY23 (7.7% improvement YOY) on an EBITDA basis. The continuous improvement in gross profit contribution has been a key focus across the Company in FY23.

Operating expenses have increased 6.9% YOY as the Company develops its product suite capability to drive increased customer value and adoption. During the year the Company completed a global review of expenditures involving a combination of supplier reviews and consolidation of personnel roles within the Company. The revised cost base maintains comprehensive global capability within sales and marketing along with meeting the Company's product roadmap outcomes.

Significant growth was experienced in FY23 in the Americas with recurring revenue growth of 28.2%. The Americas, which now represents 40.0% of revenue, remains a strategically important region for Envirosuite given the size and scale of potential customers in that market.

Cash from operating activities improved by $3.9m to a net cash inflow of $0.7m (FY22 net outflow of $3.2m) as a result of revenue growth and gross profit improvement on a controlled cost base. A reduction in general and administrative spend as a proportion of revenue has allowed for ongoing investment into Research and Development. The impact of the cost restructure and leveraging the Company’s Philippines office has enabled significant improvement in operating expense leverage.

Envirosuite CEO, Jason Cooper said:

“Envirosuite has achieved a significant milestone in FY23, achieving an Adjusted EBITDA positive result and exceeding our stated objective of transitioning to that position during FY23. This has been achieved through strong sales growth, product leadership and robust fiscal management.

We grew statutory revenue to $57.9m during FY23, an 8.3% increase on last year. This directly contributed to a 112.1% increase in Adjusted EBITDA to a profit of $0.5m compared to a loss in FY22 of $4.0m.

We grew considerably in the year adding 27 new customer sites (6.5% growth YOY) and new ARR of $9.1m (7.3% growth YOY). This growth was supported by continued improvement in gross profit, achieving 51.6% in FY23. The positive adjusted EBITDA achievement steps us closer to sustained profitability."
