Alcidion share price higher on strong top line growth

  • FY 2022 revenue of $34 million, up 31% year on year
  • Recurring revenue of $23 million
  • New sales with a total contract value (TCV) of $57.7 million, up 96% year on year
  • Fourth quarter TCV sales of $14.8 million
  • Positive fourth-quarter operating cash flow of $3.3 million
  • Positive underlying EBITDA in FY 2022 excluding acquisition costs
  • Cash balance of $17.3 million

What happened during the fourth quarter?

For the three months ended 30 June, Alcidion finished the financial year in style by delivering record quarterly cash receipts of $14 million. This underpinned a 29% increase in full-year cash receipts to $41.4 million.

Management advised that this was driven by the signing of several new customers in the Australian and UK markets and upgrades by a number of strategic, long-term customers to the latest Miya Precision platform.

The latter includes new five-year contract upgrades with Northern Territory Health, Western Health Victoria, Alfred Health, and East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust.

Management commentary

Alcidion's managing director, Kate Quirke, was pleased with the 12 months and appears optimistic on the future. She said:

Alcidion brings FY22 to a close with an outstanding final quarter delivering record cash receipts, which has not only resulted in positive operating cashflow for the quarter but also for the full year FY22.

Alcidion's continued growth in the face of a challenging external business environment is driven not only by large scale (announced) contracts but also by several smaller contracts which cumulatively contribute meaningfully throughout the year, delivering record new sales for FY22 with TCV of $57.7M.

We head into the new financial year with $31.2M of contracted and expected renewal revenue, which when combined with our continually maturing pipeline both in ANZ and UK positions Alcidion for continued strong and profitable growth in FY23.
