Result Summary
We are pleased to announce our FY24 Full Year results including an Adjusted EBITDA improvement of 123.1% YoY to $1.1m, an EBITDA improvement of 25.5% to ($1.2m) and Total ARR of $61.1m up 2.8% YoY. We remain focused on delivering quality revenue growth in our high value focus sectors, leveraging the scalability of our cloud platforms and support functions to accelerate profitability.
Revenue has grown 3.0% YoY to $59.3m, of which 89.9% or $52.7m is contractually recurring. With reduced non-recurring revenue following project delays on the customer side, Envirosuite maintained a focus on prudent cost management to deliver gross profit of 52.5% (improvement of 1.8% YoY) on an EBITDA basis.
Operating expenses have increased 2.1% YoY as we continue to invest in developing our innovative portfolio of products and capabilities and slightly increased investment into sales and marketing initiatives. In FY24 Q3, we made the decision to consolidate the EVS Water products into the EVS Industrial portfolio, capitalising on go-to-market and product synergies. This structural change led to a cost reduction of approximately $2.5m on an annualised basis.
The Americas and EMEA regions headlined growth in FY24, with recurring revenue growing 13.3% and 13.8% respectively. The Americas, which now represents 40.1% of revenue, remains a strategically important region for us given the size and scale of potential customers in that market.
Envirosuite CEO, Jason Cooper said:
“Envirosuite has achieved another year of positive Adjusted EBITDA as well as solid improvement in EBITDA of 25.5%, which is testament to our balanced approach to growth and fiscal management. While we faced challenges in fully meeting our stated objective for FY24, our focus on high value core markets particularly in EVS Industrial and EVS Aviation has strengthened our global brand, market share and revenue mix.
As we enter FY25, we remain committed to disciplined cash and capital management, leveraging our global footprint to drive growth and create substantial value for our shareholders. We continue to invest into product innovation and sales and marketing, which is delivering new solutions that deepen our value in current markets and positions us strongly to accelerate growth as we pursue emerging opportunities in operational decision data, Net Zero and GHG.”

EVS Aviation
Total ARR of $36.6m up 0.3% YOY.
10 new airports signed during the year typically via competitive tender processes, which combined with strong expansion of existing customer solutions resulted in 4.6% YoY growth in recurring revenue, notwithstanding the abnormal churn event reported in FY23 Q3 and some downsell during the year were scope of services was reduced typically due to fewer aircraft operations and competitive pressure on price in some cases.
Hosted flagship aviation customer events ‘FORUM23’ in Europe and North America, connecting 87 users and decision-makers from 55 customers and generating significant demand for expanded solutions and cross-sell.
FORUM23 played a key role in securing long-term renewals with major airport customers London Heathrow and Dublin Airport during the year.
Noise management, flight tracking and community engagement continue to be key challenges in Aviation, alongside the emerging Net Zero and ‘green aviation’ opportunity.
Extensions to the Carbon Emissions module and the recently released sustainable airport solution mean Envirosuite is well-positioned to pursue these emerging opportunities.
Churn LTM remains low at 1.5%
