Despite the residual headwinds of COVID increasing sick-leave and making engineering skills scarce commodities, we delivered a solid underlying revenue increase. The pipeline of new business remains strong, and we anticipate this upward revenue trend to continue.

The quarterly revenue chart represents revenue recognised in each quarter following audit adjustments for the relevant revenue recognition period made at year end.

NEXION Pacific

During the quarter we opened our Auckland office, appointed our lead technical architect, and began to bring some new clients on-board.

Our expansion strategy is to establish our Hybrid Cloud capability in a new region, appoint a regional lead technical architect then acquire local businesses whose technical resources we can leverage to deliver services to our blue-chip, global customers. This approach enables us to reach scale faster and by increasing utilisation of the resources in our acquired businesses, also improves their revenue and profitability.

After many months of work we identified, negotiated, and executed binding term sheets to acquire Aiscorp Limited (Aiscorp) and Silicon Systems Limited (Silicon). The combined un-audited revenue of Aiscorp and Silicon to the end of the NZ financial year 2022 (March 31st, 2022) was AUD $11.71 million and EBITDA was AUD $1.12 million assuming an NZD/AUD exchange rate of 0.90.

NEXION Pacific includes the East coast of Australia and extends to the West coast of the USA. The region will be managed from New Zealand and provides a base in an effective time-zone to support our next step into Canada.

Cost Management

The underlying profitability of the NEXION Networks operating business in Australia remains a focus and we

anticipate generating a profit from this business early in FY23 as we shed the remaining overheads from earlier acquisitions including consolidation of two office leases into one, exit some low-yielding initiatives and continue to increase gross profit through higher utilisation of our Hybrid Cloud assets.

The overall cost of running the corporate office of the public company is stable and as we continue to scale the operating business through FY23 and deliver higher profits, the overall Group EBITDA path turns positive.

Conclusion

NEXION has shown strong organic revenue growth, operational cost management and the capability to execute our global acquisition strategy. Our FY23 goal, stated in the prospectus was to reach $30M revenue and we are confident in our ability to exceed this goal. We have proven our capability to acquire and grow complimentary businesses and will continue to pursue our objective to deploy Hybrid Cloud and SD-WAN services in eight global regions.
