What did Credit Clear announce?

Credit Clear specialises in receivables management solutions. Today's presentation highlighted that the company's top-line revenue was "resilient" with "momentum building as COVID-19 related debt collection restrictions ease". With that in mind, the company advised it has shifted its focus to converting clients to its digital platform to achieve an expansion in gross margins.

Within today's update, the company reported a 2,410% increase in the conversion of traditional clients to the digital platform. This 4-digit increase is based on the revenue of converted clients from the third quarter of FY20 to the third quarter of FY21.

The third quarter FY21 saw digital services revenue account for 37% of the company's revenue, with digital gross profit margins of 96%.

The update also highlighted the company's strong pipeline of opportunities across its target verticals including insurance, water and utilities, automotive, banks and education.

Additionally, the presentation pointed out that a big milestone was made by the company back in April after it signed its first major insurance client, Suncorp Group Ltd (ASX: SUN).

The pipeline of opportunities hinted a number of potential contracts including "late-stage discussions with tier 1 insurance clients", "progress with other major water and utilities companies", "advanced discussions with two major automotive brands' finance arms" and a a big four bank committing to a pilot program.
