Performance

The following information was extracted from Gentrack Group Limited's half year results, released 20 May 2024:

Results Summary

• Revenue: $102m – up 21% on H1’23 and up 58% when excluding $19.7m of one-off revenues in prior period from insolvent customers.
• EBITDA: $12.3m and tracking well against our FY24 guidance. H1’23 EBITDA of $16m included one-off high margin revenue from insolvent customers.
• Statutory NPAT: $5.3m profit v $7.9m in H1’23
• Cash: $39.3m after investing $12.9m in Amber during period v $41.9m at H1’23

Across the first half of the financial year, Gentrack has again delivered strong revenue growth, with even stronger underlying growth when allowing for oneoff revenues from last year. Growth is driven by recent and in-year new customers as well as upsells and upgrades for existing customers. In Utilities we have seen growth in all our core markets, (New Zealand, Australia, and the UK), and this financial year we have added Saudi Arabia as a source of growth. Veovo expanded its coverage of major airports with new wins in existing markets such as the UK and the Middle East.
