expected to be released 29 November 2023.
Commentary and outlook
IKE CEO Glenn Milnes commented, "1H FY24 was a mixed period at IKE. Customer wins and
growth in recurring subscription revenue were strong, positioning the business well for the long-
term. However, transaction revenue fell for the first time. This slow-down was well signaled to
the market, with several major IKE customers in the U.S. communications segment having
network projects slowed, mostly with unrelated regulatory impediments. These long-term
customers are not lost, and have communicated that they expect transaction volumes will
resume and that the multi-year outlook for use of IKE platform is robust. As a reminder of IKE’s
business model, IKE generates additive transaction revenue, on top of subscription revenue, from
some customers as they engineer more network assets in our system.
In other areas of business development:
- Our next-generation PoleForeman product was released to market in the period, having
been designed with a customer council including the engineering standards leaders
from five-of-the-ten largest investor-owned utilities and the largest communications
company in the United States. We are optimistic that this new product will deliver
significant value to existing customers and to the wider market. Because of the
associated new business model and pricing, it is expected this product will drive an
2
additive $4-7m of annual recurring subscription revenue from the existing PoleForeman
customer footprint, so up to five-times higher than legacy product revenues.
- In 1H we acquired the assets of the Marne & Associates NESC compliance training
business to allow us to add more value to, learn from, and cross-sell our technology
products to end users via our expanded Training and Education business unit. The
expanded Training and Education business unit will also give us access to thousands of
industry specific engineers at U.S. electric utilities each year, and will strengthen our
position as a thought leader in pole infrastructure in the USA.
- We have seen continued expansion of various existing customers. Several new and
important tier-1 enterprise groups have been onboarded in the 1H period and we expect
more to follow in 2H. 1H customer wins included a North-East electric utility group
ranked in the top ten investor-owned utilities in North America, in a deal worth more than
$400k subscription revenue over the next three years. Another material win was closing
a contract with a national communications company for expected $1.5m+ subscription
revenue. This is supporting an assessment of more than one million distribution assets
in California, and cross-sales into other States are in progress.
Management and the Board remain cognizant of the importance of maintaining a strong balance
sheet position, and are focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet by managing costs
appropriately to align with revenue growth opportunities.
The long-term growth outlook for IKE remains solid, with key market drivers being the 20-plus
year requirement for North American electric utilities to build grid capacity & resiliency, and the
five-plus year requirement for communications companies to build fibre & 5G networks. IKE
solutions drive dramatic productivity benefits into these network engineering programs. We
anticipate that a healthy run rate of new contracts will continue to close in the 2H FY24 period
and beyond.”

-As signaled, revenue in 1H FY24 was below pcpdue to
timing delays of engineering programs across three of
IKE’s largest national infrastructure customers.
Specifically, this resulted in:
-Ongoing growth in recurring subscription revenue, but
-Lower reoccurring transaction revenue in the period vs pcp
-Overall, lower revenue in 1H FY24 vs pcp
-Importantly, the delayed long-term customers referred to
are not ‘lost’ and these groups are guiding for high levels of
IKE product usage over the coming periods
-In addition, the company continued to see ongoing strong
growth in recurring subscription revenue vs pcp
-IKE’s additive sales opportunity pipeline supports the
potential for substantially increased contracts and
revenue in the 2H FY24 period, and beyond, from existing
customers and new logos

•While IKE is a software & technology company, we have
established an important sales channel via education & training
capability. This acquisition further allows us to add value to,
engage with, learn from, and ultimately cross-sell our products to
end-users (who are the future decision makers) within utilities,
engineering companies, and communications groups.
