Sydney, Australia, 25 August 2023 – 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
financial year ended 30 June 2023.
Key points:
•
•
•
•
•
The Total Contract Value (TCV) of contracts signed during the period was up 21%
compared to the previous corresponding period (pcp)
All products and geographies reported improved TCV
Cash at bank increased by 51% to $18.6 million as of 30 June 2023 on pcp
Stronger expected renewals book in FY24, skewed to second half and Collaborate
customers, with challenging market dynamics to persist
Impairment charge of $31.8 million on goodwill, intangible and other assets
Total Contract Value for the 12 months to 30 June 2023 was $68.5 million, a 21% increase over
pcp. This was within the guidance range provided by the company on 12 July 2023, and
represented a second half growth rate of 19% over pcp.
Statutory revenue for the period was $69.8 million, up 11% on pcp, assisted by the TCV growth,
but offset by lower services revenue. Statutory EBITDA was up 42% to $12.1 million. The
Company reported Net Profit After Tax and before non-cash impairment (NPAT) of $2.6
million, a 65% increase in comparison to the pcp. An impairment charge of $31.8 million was
recorded against goodwill and intangible assets.
Proforma revenue decreased by 5% and proforma subscription revenue was flat, relative to
pcp. Proforma EBITDA was down 28% to $17.6 million.
Commenting on the results, John Ruthven, Chief Executive Officer said, “It was pleasing to
report an improvement in TCV, statutory revenue and normalised profit, resulting from sales
growth across all products and geographies during the year. This was primarily achieved on
the back of a strong renewals book, which was 61% up on the prior period and supported by
a number of significant client wins across all products.”
“Despite these positives, the market was not without its challenges, with elevated churn rates
in the Collaborate portfolio. The market continues to evolve with customers re-assessing their
infrastructure requirements and migrating from on-premises to hybrid and SaaS
environments.”
“For the year ahead, we remain cautiously optimistic, backed by another strong renewals
book, which is skewed to the second half of the year. We are mindful of the dynamic market
conditions that are influencing buyer behaviour.”

Total Contract Value (TCV)
The key operating metric for the company’s performance is TCV. On-premises licences
(including attached maintenance), SaaS, testing, and services bookings contribute to TCV.
TCV for FY23 was $68.5 million, up 21% on the prior year, with growth reported across all
products. A strong renewals period, resulted in Collaborate renewals growing by 80%,
Transact by 104%, and Infrastructure by 20%.
All geographies recorded year-on-year growth in TCV, with Asia Pacific growing by 36%,
Europe by 18%, and Americas by 5%.
The average contract length from sales increased from 2.6 years to 3.0 years over the
period.
Proforma Results
Due to the nature of the proforma reporting, proforma subscription revenue was flat on pcp
at $68.3 million. Growth in Transact and Infrastructure subscription revenue was offset by a
decline in Collaborate.
A stronger renewals period offset by slower new business resulted in lower Services
contributions and proforma revenue being down 5% on pcp to $75.6 million. During the
period, 90% (FY22: 86%) of proforma revenue was of a recurring nature, representing noncancellable licences and related maintenance contracts.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) was $67.5 million at 30 June 2023, down 1% on the prior year
primarily due to substantial churn in our Collaborate business. Forex translation gains
contributed a 6% benefit to ARR.
Rigorous cost management and a re-alignment of the business to the current trading
conditions resulted in total expenses increasing just 2% over the year.
The company remains focused on cost discipline and has implemented a reduction in force
to better align with the priorities going forward.
Impairment of Assets
A $31.8 million impairment of goodwill, intangible and other assets was recorded as the
company performed its Cash Generating Unit valuation with updated forecasts reflecting
historical trends for new business, renewals and expense growth.
Cash
The cash balance benefitted from an active cash collections program focusing on overdue
receivables and a reduction in Days Sales Outstanding. The Company was debt free at year
end.
The Company’s net cash position as of 30 June 2023 was $18.6 million compared to $12.3
million in the prior year.
Dividends
The Board has not declared a dividend to preserve cash and maintain capital for growth.

Collaborate churn expected to persist as clients migrate to SaaS environments.
Current new business & upsell pipeline flat on pcp, weighted to Collaborate. Focus
on targeting larger enterprise customers across all products and geographies.

Americas and Europe. Asia Pacific growth to moderate.
