• Historically staff numbers have risen in-line with revenue growth
as we built to critical mass and to deliver a $75m revenue business
• We are at inflection point where revenue can accelerate faster
than headcount positively impacting margins
• Sales team has increased by 80% compared to the same period in
the previous year and has built a significant pipeline of Enterprise
leads set to be harvested
• Delivering efficiencies in our production team - sales on track to
grow 60% to our guidance of $50m for FY22E, and production
As we head towards our aspirational goal of $100m in revenue we do not expect our headcount or operating costs to increase at the same rate as our revenue.
