What else happened during the year?

Cost of sales was up, however, increasing from $2.6 million in the prior year to $6.3 million in FY22.
Gross profit margins fell to 46%, down from 62% in the prior year. Margins were impacted by increased insurance premiums and a revenue recognition change. Camplify said its increased insurance costs will be passed on in full in FY23.

Commenting on the results, Camplify CEO Justin Hales said:
Camplify is a business with significant growth potential, and substantial scalability opportunities. Camplify has delivered on its strategic outcomes in FY22 by clearly building on customer demand to record four quarters of continued growth.
