Sydney, Australia, 22 February 2024 – Integrated Research (ASX:IRI) a leading global
performance management and analytics provider for unified communication and
collaboration, IT infrastructure, and payment ecosystems, today released its results for the sixmonth period ending 31 December 2023.
Key highlights:

•
•
•
Total Contract Value (TCV) and statutory revenue up 6% on the previous
corresponding period (pcp).

Statutory NPAT up 248% to $11.2 million on pcp.
Cash at bank increased by 16% to $21.5 million as at 31 December 2023.
Total Contract Value for the six months to 31 December 2023 was $41.3 million, a 6% increase
over pcp. This was at the higher end of the guidance range provided by the company on 11
January 2024.
Statutory revenue for the period was $40.8 million, up 6% on the pcp. Statutory EBITDA was up
29% to $11 million. The Company reported Statutory Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $11.2 million,
a 248% increase on the pcp, supported by an increase in interest income, due to high interest
rates and cash balance.
Proforma revenue decreased by 2% and proforma subscription revenue declined by 4%, on
pcp, primarily due to the high Collaborate churn rate. Proforma EBITDA was down 10% to $7.4
million.
Peter Lloyd, Chair, IR, said “The 1st half of FY24 continues the build on our financial capacity
with a solid balance sheet, growing net assets, and strong cash reserves; based on improving
sales momentum and disciplined expense management delivering profit and cash
generation. This sound financial base sets a platform for the company to consider growth
initiatives to deliver new revenue streams and improve shareholder returns.”
Total Contract Value (TCV)
TCV includes on-premises licenses (including attached maintenance), SaaS, testing, and
services bookings.
By product, TCV grew strongly across Transact and Infrastructure, up 27% and 45%
respectively, on higher renewals. Collaborate TCV declined by 15%, supported by strong
renewals, but offset by a decline in new business.
By geography, the Americas reported a 50% increase in TCV, buoyed by the $10.1m Fiserv
Inc. contract renewal. Europe and APAC results both declined, 31% and 42% respectively.
The average contract length from sales during the period was four years, in line with the prior
year.

Proforma Results
Proforma subscription revenue was down 4% on the pcp, mainly due to a decline in
Collaborate revenues, which were down 10% during the period. Transact revenues were up
13%, with Infrastructure revenues flat over the period.
During the half, 88% of proforma revenue was of a recurring nature, similar to the pcp. This
represented multi-year non-cancellable licenses and related maintenance contracts.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) was $64.0 million, down 5% on the prior year, primarily
influenced by the substantial churn in our Collaborate business across all geographies.
Expenses
Expenses were down on account of disciplined cost management. While the company
remains focused on managing costs, we anticipate expenses to moderately increase in H2
FY24.
Cash
The Company’s net cash position as at 31 December 2023 was $21.5 million, compared to
$18.6 million as at 30 June 2023.
The cash conversion rate continues to improve due to a reduction in Days Sales Outstanding
(DSO) on current receivables.
The Company remains debt free.
Dividends
The Board has not declared an interim dividend.
Priorities for FY24
Our key priorities for FY24 remain unchanged. These include:
•
Markets – continue growth momentum across all regions.
•
New business – win more new business and expand the product footprint.
•
Existing customers – improve customer retention and renewal yield.
•
Cost base – tightly manage costs to align with expected developments in the
trading environment.
•
Product innovation – collaborate with customers to reduce development cycles and
validate use cases.
•
Financial – increase profitability and retain a strong balance sheet.
John Ruthven, Chief Executive Officer, IR said, “We are pleased with the momentum in the
first half and the platform it provides for second half performance. We benefitted from the
company’s strong renewal base and exercised cost discipline to improve profitability and
cash.
Our Transact and Infrastructure product-line performed well, up significantly on the prior
period, bolstered by several large contracts. Whilst Collaborate headwinds persist our go-tomarket focus is on larger enterprises, with complex environments, as well as industry verticals
where our value proposition resonates.
As we turn our eye to the future, our improved cash position enables the pursuit of a product
led growth agenda.”
