NZX AND MEDIA RELEASE 3 July 2019 GEO completes FY19 with enhanced core product, higher ARPUs and increased sales velocity With FY19 complete, Geo Limited (GEO or the Company) now provides an update on sales for the year and on its core Geo product. Confirmation of FY19 Outlook o The Company confirms its FY19 market guidance of 21% year-on-year growth in annual recurring (subscription) revenues, with the core Geo product on track to deliver 35% growth. Completion of Geo Pricing Increases and Improvements in Customer Service o The repricing of the core Geo product to market rates is complete. o A 124% increase in monthly Average Revenue per User (ARPU) has been achieved. o Monthly ARPUs closed the year at over $17.00 (up from $7.70) on a reduced licence base and were the main contributor to growth in FY19. o In parallel, a significant investment in customer service is assisting the Company to retain its customers for longer. o The collective impact of these two initiatives is to materially increase the lifetime value of Geo's customers. o Company-wide licence numbers are expected to be ~17,250 as at 30 June 2019 of which Geo will account for ~16,350. Key Product Features Released o Delays in software development required the Company to defer the release of key Geo product features by six months, requiring a deferral of sales and marketing activity. o All new features have now been delivered and are live in market, with sales momentum increasing. Sales o Coinciding with completion of the new product release, GEO experienced an uplift in sales momentum in Q4, with ~250 new Geo licences sold in June. o A further 500 - 1,000 Geo licences are expected to be sold during July and August. o The Geo product is proving its worth to a wide range of businesses with distributed workforces. Case studies are provided below for Knightguard, Metro Utility and Xclusive Services. o The Company will progressively increase its digital marketing spend in the coming months to promote the latest customer-led development releases and accelerate customer growth. Financial Performance o GEO expects to have approximately $1.0m of cash on hand as at 30 June 2019, with a further $0.5m in FY19 Research and Development grants due to be received shortly after year end. o The Company plans to release its FY19 result on or around Friday 23 August 2019. o The Company will provide an updated view on its cash reserves, burn rate and profitability with the annual result, based on its early FY20 trading performance.
