Prophecy announces increases in new sales for both Snare and eMite

Sales contracts higher despite COVID-19 slowdown

Snare and eMite sales increase over last FY

  • Full year revenue expected to be approximately $14.0M
  • Snare new business sales increase 12.6%
  • eMite new business sales increase by 13%
  • Annualised value of eMite active contracts now $4.37M in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
  • Total new business sales of $9.85M up 12.7% over last year

Prophecy International announced today that despite the challenging global economy in H2 as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic sales results for the group have been strong and have increased year over year.

Full year total revenues are expected to be approximately $14.0M up from $12.1M last year or growth of approximately 15%.

Snare sales achieved 624 new sales contracts in FY20 with an average value of $10,947. Previous financial year average was $8,648 – a 26.5% increase in average sale size. Total new business sales (excluding renewals) increased from $6.061M to $6.830M.

Sales transaction size was improved due to several MSSP partners selling Snare into larger accounts and gaining a great footprint in those accounts as well as the direct sales team selling the entire product suite more effectively in FY20.

The majority of Snare sales were perpetual license sales that are recognised as revenue at the time of the sale although we have seen an increase in subscription licenses as these are being introduced into the Snare product suite.

The Americas was again the predominant market for Snare sales with 77.0% of new business coming from the US. EMEA contributed 13.3% with APAC contributing the remaining 9.7%.

Our best Snare customers continue to come from large enterprise and government segment including Metlife, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, QBE, Principal Financial, Raytheon and the Metropolitan Police in the UK.

eMite sales continue to be strong and we have experienced good growth in sales into the Amazon Connect customer base.

A total of 79 new subscription customers were added in FY20 with 59 of these coming from Genesys and 20 coming from Amazon Connect. The Genesys average deal size increased to $26,590 up from $18,870 in FY19.

Genesys customers accounted for sales contracts totaling $1.56M in year 1 and based on expected usage the Amazon Connect sales are expected to generate annual revenues of $1.46M when fully deployed.

Combined these sales total $3.03M up from $2.67M last financial year. Although it should be noted that Amazon Connect sales generally do not have committed volumes and are purely usage based.

55.2% of eMite sales came from the Americas, 24.80% from APAC and 20% from EMEA.

Significant sales closed through Genesys included 1800 Flowers, Dyson/AT&T, Edelman Financial and Philip Morris. Amazon Connect customers that bought eMite in the last year included Goldman Sachs, NAB, Telstra, LA Sanitation, Johnson & Johnson and Fidelity Investments.

eMite sales are almost exclusively subscription licenses and revenue is recognized as the service is provided on a monthly basis. This means that some of the sales contracts from last year have not had a full impact on the revenue at a P&L level this year.

Annualised Recurring Revenue (ARR) of current accounts for eMite totals $4.37M (including Amazon Connect accounts based on estimated usage of $1.46M) going into the new year.

Prophecy International delivers improved EBITDA of $746K in H1 FY20

20% revenue growth deliver strong bottom line improvement

H1 FY20 Highlights

  • EBITDA of $746K for H1
  • Cash balance improves further in January
  • Average deal size increases for both Snare & eMite
  • 19.5% revenue growth delivers strong profit improvement

Prophecy is pleased to announce additional preliminary unaudited results for H1 FY20 that show a significant EBITDA improvement over FY19.

This result is due to solid top line revenue growth and good fiscal management keeping expenses growth modest. It is also important to note that this year we will fully expense all R&D costs after commencing this last FY.

Brad Thomas, Prophecy CEO said, “We have managed to keep innovating and releasing new product and to also invest in new resources – most notably in our off shore facility in Manilla and with new sales and marketing resources in both the US and in Europe. We have kept a tight rein on new headcount and have been diligent in keeping costs under control. As a result we have managed to deliver EBITDA of $746K in H1 FY20 vs a full year result of $87K last year.”

The company continues to be debt free and had cash in excess of $4M on hand at the end of the half. At the end of January our cash position had improved to $4.7M.

January has also continued to be strong with total new sales across the group exceeding $1M for what has traditionally been a slower sales month for the group.

eMite in particular has been strong in January with sales of Amazon Connect solutions to NAB and Telstra. The average 1CV (1st year contract value) sale has further increased to $42K for eMite up from $19K last financial year. This is a direct result of eMite targeting large enterprise customers with Amazon Connect and with Genesys attracting large enterprise customers to Genesys Cloud.  The average deal size has more than doubled in H1.

The average Snare sale value has also continued to improve to $13K up from $8.8K for the full year last year. This represents a 42% increase in the average sale in H1 FY20.

Fully audited results should be available to the market in late February.
