Operational Review

Introduction

It is pleasing to report that Fusionex has achieved another year of robust growth, underpinned by the early success of GIANT, Fusionex's Big Data Analytics product, which was launched in Q1 of FY2014. The Group has a clear growth strategy focused on ongoing product development in a specialised Big Data Analytics field, building its channels to market via additional strategic partnerships and targeting geographic expansion. During the year under review, the Group has made good progress on all these fronts and is well placed to deliver continuing growth in the new financial year and beyond.

Revenue during the period was RM57.1 million, while the Group's Gross Profit increased to RM44.3 million. EBITDA grew to RM25.8 million, exceeding market expectations, and profit after tax rose to RM19.5 million, which includes the disposal of an office unit bringing about a one-off gain of RM1.3 million. As a result, the Company ended the year with strong and increased cash balances of RM64.0 million.

The Board intends to recommend a dividend for the year ending 30 September 2015.

Operational Review

Fusionex has continued to see exciting momentum during the year under review, as it focuses on addressing the significant opportunities in Big Data. Following the launch of GIANT in Q1, the product has achieved early traction, with 12 new customer accounts secured ahead of the target of 10. Cross-selling the new Big Data offerings continues to represent an important organic growth opportunity, underpinned by the Group's strong relationships with existing clients.

A key focus for the 2014 financial year was to broaden the Group's channels to market by establishing new strategic partnerships with leading technology providers. Having set a target of securing one to two new partners in the year, it was pleasing to sign three new partners, Revolution Analytics (since then acquired by Microsoft), EMC and AvNet, in addition to the existing relationships with Cloudera and Hortonworks. These partnerships, all with blue chip service providers, have already started to deliver results, opening up a sizeable number of new business leads. The acquisition by Microsoft of Revolution Analytics is viewed as a positive move given the strong and strategic partnerships that Fusionex has with both companies, thus opening the doors to an increased pipeline after the two parties integrate their product, methodologies and business models.

The new channel partners will also support the Group's geographic expansion. Fusionex has already established a strong brand awareness in Asia Pacific and maintained its status as a leading technology provider in the region during the year.

Fusionex products have gained strong traction in a number of sectors, including travel and leisure, retail, media, utilities and financial services. The Group has added new customers across most of these sectors during the year. As the global economy continues to recover, these sectors will underpin ongoing growth, particularly in the travel, hospitality and retail sectors.

In the 2014 financial year, Fusionex has invested further in research and development, infrastructure and marketing. Ensuring the product offering remains at the forefront of Big Data technology is a key aspect of the Group's growth strategy. Further upgrades to GIANT such as enriched content and enhanced usability were launched following the year end and have been well received in the industry. Fusionex continues to win industry recognition for its "best in class" offering, receiving a number of awards during 2014, including a prestigious Microsoft Partner of the Year award for a third consecutive year and also receiving the Microsoft Best Business Analytics Award. This latter award recognised the success of Fusionex expansion into Hong Kong, where the office (which opened in 2013) is acting as a gateway into the Greater China market, a new territory for the Company and is already servicing new clients.

The Group has invested in additional marketing to support its expansion plans and new products. The sales team will be focused on customer generation in both existing markets as well as developing new client opportunities in new markets and will further help support the Group as it moves into new geographies and scales up sales channels for its offerings.

Market Overview

The market opportunity for Big Data solutions remains significant and is growing strongly. Gartner predicts that enterprise data is set to increase by 650% in the next five years and in its recent survey on Big Data technologies, 73% of respondents said that they were investing or planning to invest in Big Data products. Gartner also anticipates that Business Intelligence and Analytics will remain a top focus for CIOs through to 2017.

Fusionex solutions offer a compelling proposition, as they are designed to address the top business priorities identified by Gartner: increasing enterprise growth, delivering operational results, reducing enterprise costs and attracting and retaining new customers. As a result, Fusionex continued to outperform the market in the year ended 30 September 2014, achieving circa 30% growth in the year.

Growth Strategy

The Group growth strategy is focused on the areas which management believes offer the most exciting potential for Fusionex, including significant investment in product development and new product launches, expanding into new and existing geographies, targeting cross-selling and up-selling opportunities, and continuing to build channels to market, both direct and indirect.

During the 2014 financial year, progress in all of these areas has continued apace and will position Fusionex for further success in the new financial year. The Group is already seeing the benefits of its recently established channel partners and will seek to leverage these to accelerate the existing pipeline of new opportunities.

As outlined above, the market opportunity remains significant and the Board is focused on delivering the growth strategy to position Fusionex as a global leader in Big Data technology.

Current Trading and Outlook

The operational and financial progress achieved during FY 2014 positions the Group for future growth. The launch of GIANT and ongoing product development underpins the significant pipeline of new opportunities and active discussions are ongoing with both new and existing customers. The compelling proposition is supported by increasingly strong channels to market, both through the in-house sales team and the strategic partnerships in place with leading technology providers.

As a result, the Board remains confident that Fusionex will deliver further value for shareholders in the current financial year and the years ahead.

Financial Review

The Group has once again achieved strong, double digit growth in revenue and profits for the financial year ended 30 September 2014, ahead of market expectations.

Revenue

Group revenue increased from 2013's figure of RM44.4 million to RM57.1 million, of which 84% of the Group's total revenue arose from sale of products.

The Asia Pacific region was once again the main contributor to the Group's revenue and its contribution amounted to 74% of the total revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit of the Group increased from RM34.3 million in 2013 to RM44.3 million. Over the year, the Group has continued to invest in research and development to enhance its existing and new products for release into the market. For the financial year of 2014, the Group capitalised RM11.1 million in the period. Investment in human resources has also been a high priority.

EBITDA and profitability

EBITDA for the period was RM25.8 million (2013 : RM22.5 million). Depreciation expenses for the year increased due to higher costs incurred by the purchase of computer equipment and amortisation expenses increased for commercialisation of the product enhancements. The Group's profit before tax increased to RM22.8 million.

Net profit (profit after tax) for the year has increased to a record RM19.5 million. This was achieved despite ongoing and significantly increased investment in the business for FY2014.

Taxation

The Group operates in certain geographies in which the income generated has been exempted from taxation or subject to tax allowances. The effective tax rate for the Group was 14.6% (2013: 7.3%).

Borrowings and Bank Facilities

Equity

The equity of the Group was strong for the year and the equity balance stands at RM101.4 million (2013: RM86.5 million). Earnings per share (EPS) of the Group has been maintained at RM0.45 (2013: RM0.45).

11. Segment analysis

IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, as defined in IFRS 8, in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

All other segments primarily comprise income and expenses relating to the Group's administrative functions. Interest income and interest expense are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury function which manages the cash position of the Group. Accordingly, this information is not separately reported to the Board for each reportable segment.

Operating segments are prepared in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive Directors as its chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to segments and to assess their performance. For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on geographical locations.
