Annual Meeting of Shareholders Chair’s address

Gentrack delivered impressive growth in revenue, EBITDA and cash in the

2023 financial year. We continue to win new customers, including our first

contract signings in the Middle East as well as delivering against recent wins

and expanding services with existing customers. We have strong net people

growth with staff turnover during the year at an all-time low, and at the same

time our employees are highly engaged and recommending Gentrack as a

great place to work. Finally, we are proud to be working with the leaders in the

sectors we serve to help them innovate and move to sustainable solutions.

Strong revenue results were driven by a 36.7% increase in the Utilities business

to $147.9m for the year. Our underlying growth in the Utilities business

excluding insolvencies was up by 47% over FY22.

Bulb and other UK insolvencies represented $27.6m of FY23 revenue and we

do not expect further revenue from these customers in FY24. We believe that

the historical occurrence of supplier insolvencies in the UK B2C energy sector

is no longer a material threat to our customer base as many of the weaker

players have exited and the UK regulator has instituted a more business

friendly regulatory approach.

The Veovo airports business also grew strongly, with revenue up 21.3% to

$21.9m with growth in both recurring revenues, up 15.8% and non-recurring

revenues up 32.2% over FY22.

EBITDA performance was $23.2m, $15.1m higher than FY22. EBITDA growth

has been achieved whilst continuing to invest in strategic R&D and increasing

our sales & marketing spend to support international expansion.

With strong cash conversion from EBITDA, net cash at 30 September 2023 was

$49.2m, an increase of $21.8m over the end of the last financial year.

As a result of this strong financial performance, FY23 marks a return to an NPAT

profit of $10m against an NPAT loss made in the prior year.

Our underlying growth in Utilities is a result of doing more with both new and

existing energy customers in the markets we serve. In November 2023 we were


2

pleased to announce that Genesis Energy selected our new g2.0 solution with

Salesforce’s Energy and Utility Cloud embedded. Genesis’s decision to choose

our g2.0 platform is a strong vote of confidence in our product investment

strategy. It also creates the opportunity to sell this market leading product to

new customers looking to modernise away from legacy systems, as well as to

upsell it to our existing customer base.

In March 2023 EnergyAustralia went live with Gentrack to launch its innovative,

ground-breaking product ‘Solar Home Bundle’ on our distributed energy

management solution. This exciting solution is at the forefront of how people

worldwide will generate and consume energy in the future.

In the UK, we have added three more customers to our Managed Services

offering where we help customers deliver improvements in their operational

excellence and cost to serve.

These are just some examples of how we work closely with leaders in our core

markets to modernise their business and help them meet sustainability and

cost targets.

In November 2022 we announced our plan to expand our international

footprint, beyond our core markets of the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

During 2023, we opened an office in Singapore, and have grown the local team

there to both support the migration to our platform at one of Singapore’s

energy retailers and to target new business in the wider Southeast Asian

region. We have also built our European business development team, based

at our London office and are pleased with our business development across

Europe. We are making good progress building a qualified pipeline across

several countries in both these regions.

In 2023 we established our Middle Eastern regional hub in Saudi Arabia and

booked our first Utilities contract win there in October, covering both energy

and water customers. This win, where we will be working alongside SalesForce,

demonstrates the strength of this relationship, an essential part of our g2.0

platform.


To support growth in both our core markets and in new markets we have

invested in building out our centre of engineering excellence in India. We


3

opened our Pune office a little over a year ago, and we now have over 100

people there.

The aviation recovery has gone from strength to strength. Many airports are at

or near to pre-pandemic passenger travel levels, driving a strong demand for

digital transformation that can bring improved passenger experiences and

better operational experience. For Veovo this has meant new tier 1 and 2

customers in the Middle East and Europe; strong demand for upgrades to our

latest platforms for Aero-Billing and Airport Operations; and expansion

opportunities for Passenger Flow solutions at several of our major customers.

We believe that these contract wins combined with the strong pipeline we have

built over the last year in Veovo sets us up for another year of vibrant growth in

FY24.

Our first customer migration to g2.0 and our first wins in the Middle East in both

the Utilities and Veovo businesses are important strategic milestones. We

continue to build our pipeline in Southeast Asia and EMEA and to sell new

products to new and existing customers.

We are excited about the transformation required by the industries that we

serve, and the opportunity that represents for Gentrack. For airports, we are

seeing pent-up demand being unleashed in modernisation programs which

are now following through into contract wins & upgrades. For utilities, no other

market requires the level of modernisation that the IT systems in both the

energy and water markets require. Our new g2.0 solution is now established.

We have the delivery track record to make customer transformations

successful, and we have positioned Gentrack as a leader in innovation. It is an

exciting time to be in these dynamic markets.

On closing I’d like to thank our customers and shareholders for their continued

support and the entire Gentrack team for their achievements this year and for

their commitment to Gentrack’s future.

Thank you very much,

Andy Green

Chair
