Nuix 2021 Annual Report

Report Extract

Our financial results for FY21 highlighted the recurring nature of our revenue and sticky customer base. Statutory revenue came in at $176.1 million, up 0.1% on the previous year and up 7.4% on a constant currency basis. Annualized contract value (ACV) at 30 June 2021 was $165.6 million, down 1.7% on the same time last year and up 4.1% on a constant currency basis. Pro forma EBITDA for the full year was $67.0 million, up 20.9% on FY20 and 31.9% on a constant currency basis, driven by continued cost savings.

At the statutory revenue and ACV levels, we did not meet our prospectus forecasts. The primary reasons for the miss were foreign exchange impacts, a weaker than expected result from our US Government business, and the short-term impacts of customer transitions to consumption licenses. EBITDA exceeded prospectus forecasts.

Nuix’s customer base remains strong, highlighted by a very low churn figure of 3.7%, endorsing the competitive advantage of our technology. Subscription ACV, which is an important indicator of recurring revenue for the Group rose to 89% from 84% a year ago.

The shift to consumption licenses is an important trend affecting our market. Consumption ACV grew to $20.2 million over the course of the year, up 12%, and up 22% in constant currency. Consumption licenses include SaaS licenses as a sub-component. The growth in consumption licenses is customer-led and we continue to respond to this market demand. The shift in customers from module-based licenses to consumption-based licenses is a key reason our overall upsell figures were muted over the course of the year. As customers transition to consumption-based licenses, we typically see an initial downsell to the minimum contracted amount, with data volumes increasing over time. From Nuix’s perspective, there are important benefits in linking our revenue more closely to increasing data growth in the market over the medium to long term.

Nuix finished the year in a strong financial position, with almost $71 million in net cash, giving the organization flexibility to pursue growth opportunities.
