Superloop Limited (SLC) Earnings Call Transcript & Summary

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Peter O'Connell, I am the Chair of Superloop. Unfortunately, I've contracted COVID and I'm isolating today, so I'm unable to attend in-person. The Board has unanimously appointed Vivian Stewart, Non-Executive Director as Chair of this Annual General Meeting. I will now hand over to Viv.

Thank you, Peter. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us at our Annual 2024 General Meeting. I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which we meet today, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging. I'm looking forward to engaging with you during the course of today's meeting. It is now well past 2:00 p.m. Sydney Time, the nominated time for this AGM. I've been advised by our Company Secretary that our quorum is present, and so I am pleased to declare our 2024 AGM open. As this is a hybrid meeting, shareholders can participate either via the online platform or physically at our venue today. With me in Sydney, I have Paul Tyler, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer; Drew Kelton, Non-Executive Director; Tony Clark, Non-Executive Director; Helen Livesey, Non-Executive Director; Gareth Turner, Non-Executive Director; and Tina Ooi, our Company Secretary. Also joining us today are members of the management team, including CFO, Dean Tognella. Tendai Mkwananzi, representing our auditor, Deloitte, joins us online. While Pooja Patel, our new incoming audit partner is here in person. We also have Derek Pocock and also Adrienne de Bruyn from Baker McKenzie, our external solicitors. Tendai is available to take questions on the conduct of the audit and the preparation and conduct of the independent external auditor's report. This afternoon, I'll make some introductory remarks regarding our company's performance in the 2024 financial year and then comment on more recent achievements. I'll then hand over to our Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Tyler, who will provide a more detailed review of Superloop's activities during FY '24 as well as some commentary on the outlook for the company. Following Paul's presentation, we will conduct the formal business of the meeting. FY '24 has been an outstanding year for Superloop and I'm pleased to report strong growth continues across all segments: Consumer, Business and Wholesale. Following the successful completion of our 3-in-3 turnaround strategy last year where we tripled revenue over 3 years, FY '24 marked the commencement of our double-down strategy aiming to double the size of the business by the end of FY '26. The company is set to accelerate growth in both revenue and profitability by maintaining cost of leadership, gaining a deeper and broader market penetration and portfolio richness. Additionally, growth is expected to be supported via prudent consideration of acquisitions that offer long-term strategic value to the business. Superloop has already delivered in its first year of the new strategy with year-on-year growth across key metrics. Revenue increased by 30% to $420 million. Underlying EBITDA grew by 45% to $54 million and we achieved record organic growth in new customers finishing the 2024 financial year with over 455,000 customers. The company reduced its net loss by 66% compared to the prior period, achieved positive cash flow and is on track to achieve positive NPAT for FY '26. A dedication to operating ethically and everything we do continues to be fundamental to the way we do business. Superloop has halved the gender pay gap over the last 2 years. Our FY '24 results show a gender pay gap of 9.9%, well below the telecommunications industry average. We continue to work towards reducing our carbon footprint, and have identified Superloop's Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. This provides us with a baseline from which to drive emissions reducing initiatives. Additionally, we are making a meaningful impact through our charity partnerships, working to positively influence the communities where we operate. Our commitment to robust internal governance practices remains steadfast. Since our last AGM, we have entered the S&P ASX/300 Index as a result of increasing investor demand for our company securities, leading to share price appreciation of over 2.5x during the period, the third highest gain in the entire ordinaries index. Our entry into the S&P ASX/300 Index is a major milestone and a true reflection of Superloop's success in delivering value to shareholders while also highlighting the company's future growth potential. In February 2024, Superloop received an indicative and nonbinding proposal from 1 of our competitors, Aussie Broadband Limited, to acquire all of the shares in Superloop. The Board of Superloop considered the offer and believed that the offer was opportunistic and fundamentally undervalued Superloop. In FY '25, Superloop will continue to focus on driving strong organic growth, increasing its market share in the segments we operate in and maintaining cost leadership as well as delivering value to our customers and shareholders. I would now like to make a couple of comments on the resolutions which we are putting to shareholders today. Our first resolution is the adoption of the remuneration report. You may recall that following feedback from our shareholders and an extensive review of the remuneration framework by Ernst & Young, our approach to remuneration went through an extensive refresh ahead of the 2023 AGM. We have continued to further strengthen and refresh our approach to remuneration reporting. And as such, we ask that you support this resolution. Resolution 2 today relates to the reelection of our Board member, Mr. Tony Clark. Mr. Clark has a wealth of digital media industry knowledge and experience, having cofounded Rising Sun Pictures and Cinenet Systems and has been the recipient of a number of prestigious awards within the industry. We are fortunate to benefit from his strong entrepreneurial expertise and ask that you support his resolution. Resolutions 3 to 5 relate to the issue of shares to Origin Energy as per the agreement between Superloop and Origin Energy announced on the 13 March 2024. The Origin Energy agreement represents a significant step change for Superloop, adding over 130,000 customers, which have already been successfully migrated. We remain confident that the number of customers will continue to grow and deliver increasing revenue for Superloop. We ask that you support these resolutions. Resolution 6 proposes to increase the Nonexecutive Director fee pool, providing the board with headroom and flexibility to allow for fluctuations in the size of the board to align with ASX 300 expectations and to allow for fee adjustments to maintain market competitiveness. This year, we are seeking 2 resolutions: Resolution 7 and 8, that relate to the approval of a grant of performance rights to our Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Tyler. Resolution 7 is aligned with Paul's long-term incentive and Resolution 8 to the double down incentive. The Board believes that it is in shareholders' interest to provide the MD and CEO with an equity-based long-term incentive to ensure there is alignment between shareholder outcomes and his reward and retention, and we ask that you support these resolutions. I'd like to thank my Board colleagues for their continued contribution and commitment. On behalf of the Board, I would also like to thank the incredible team at Superloop for their contribution to such a successful financial year '24. Finally, I would like to thank you, our shareholders, for your feedback and support. I'll now hand over to Paul Tyler, MD and CEO, for a review of FY '24 and FY '25 business update before moving on to the formal business.

Thanks, Viv, Peter and the rest of the Board. So let me kick off the review of FY '24. So I'd like to say at the outset how proud I am of the group's achievements in financial year '24, and the operational success we've had throughout the year as well as the financial performance we've been able to deliver on the back of this for our shareholders. The strong company performance is a testament to the strength of our operating model, our brand and the entire Superloop team. Pleasingly, we've been able to deliver strong momentum in each of our operating segments with many highlights across the group. We signed the largest deal in the company's history, the landmark 6-year contract with Origin Energy. 6-year contract with Origin Energy involved the migration of over 130,000 Origin customers, which has now been completed successfully at the end of October on target with the plan that we launched some 8 months previously. We continued our nbn market share gains, ending the year at approximately 4% market share, and approaching 6% market share as of today across the group as we benefit from our multiyear strategy of supporting the Challenger segment in its entirety of the broadband category. Our Consumer segment experienced particularly strong growth with revenue up 47% year-on-year and a record 80,000 new customers added with particular success in our targeted high-speed plans. All segments contributed to revenue growth, with business revenue up 4.3% and wholesale revenue up 9.4%. The benefits of our operating model continue to be evident with our OpEx as a percentage of revenue, down 2.6 percentage points to 17.1%. Finally, we finished FY '24 ahead of plan on year 1 of our 3-year double-down strategy. We set ourselves ambitious goals, and we're making great progress in meeting them. So from a financial position, it was another record year for Superloop with some 30% year-on-year revenue growth to $420 million. As I said, with all 3 of our market segments contributing. And we're particularly pleased to report that the vast majority of this revenue growth was generated organically alongside our growth in customer numbers, which increased almost 24% to over 455,000 customers at the end of the period. And perhaps most pleasingly, our underlying EBITDA grew 45.2% to over $54 million. We also continue to see strong growth in free cash flow, an increase of 26% on FY '23 to over $29 million, providing a further solid proof point as to the cash generation capability of the Superloop platform. We're seeing positive momentum in operational performance across all 3 segments, as I mentioned. Of course, that's led by a strong revenue growth being up 30% to $420 million. Our Consumer segment delivered the greatest contribution to that revenue growth, up 47% on the back of record organic growth in subscriber numbers. The business segment, up 4.3%, a solid result in a very challenging market. And the wholesale segment grew 9.4%, with a significant step-up now underway in FY '25 with the major contract wins of AGL and Origin amongst others. The operating leverage in the business is clear now with the FY '24 underlying EBITDA increase of 45.2%, exceeding the growth in revenue. Correspondingly, the underlying EBITDA margin increased by 1.3 percentage points to 12.9%. I'll remind you, our double down ambition is to deliver underlying EBITDA margins of mid- to high teens, and we're making good progress towards that goal. In FY '24, we were the fastest-growing retail service provider in Australia, achieving record nbn adds of 78,000 across our own brands, those being Superloop and Exetel. With the Origin migration now complete, today, as I said, we have approximately 6% market share across our own owned and our enabled brands. We've talked before about the Challenger megatrend. With Challenger retail service provider brands growing market share at the expense of the older established brands. This trend has been an important driver of our growth, and the growth of all challenges and will continue to be so into the future. We are thrilled for the success of not just our consumer brands but also for our wholesale customers, including AGL and Origin amongst others. They are also experiencing great success in the market. And we're very proud that we're able to enable Challenger brands through our wholesale solution set. And we see a significant future opportunity to further drive market share through both our own Consumer brands and our partnerships with wholesale customers. We hope you've seen some of our efforts in driving brand awareness through digital, TV, radio and print advertising. Our core brand values are being heard. Superloop is an RSP that is different to other Internet providers, has competitive rates and represent value for money. Strong gains in brand awareness since the relaunch of Superloop in FY '23 have been the foundation of our success in our target areas, including high-speed plans and in the Fiber to the Premises market, with our market share continuing to grow in these segments. We continue to invest in brand and have an aspiration of reaching 25% prompted brand awareness by the end of FY '25 to further support our ambitious growth plans. Our approach to ESG is also maturing as we grow. Our investment in ESG goes hand-in-hand with our social license to operate. And we've made some pleasing progress in our ESG efforts in FY '24, including driving large reductions in the gender pay gap, progress in calculating and assessing our emissions and a step-up in our support of charities, including the DV Collective and other worthwhile causes. We've invested significant time in formalizing and enhancing these activities under our new ESG framework. And having clear ESG fundamentals are an important pillar of how we do business. So that's a recap of our FY '24 progress. But if I move to FY '25, and a trading update for the 4 months ending 31 October 2024. So with the first 4 months of FY '25 now complete, we're off to a great start to the year across all 3 segments. To list a few of the highlights. Overall, we've added some 182,000 customers, representing a 40% increase of our customer base since June this year. And as a group, we now serve over 637,000 customers. The Origin migration was completed on schedule, that's not to be underestimated. This was a significant project with over 130,000 customers migrated in a short time frame and requiring exceptional collaboration between the Origin Energy and the Superloop teams. Another highlight announced today actually was the landmark win in the Smart Communities division with a contract with AVJennings for some 1,100 FTTP lots, contributing to a total of over 6,000 Smart Communities lots signed financial year-to-date. We're gaining significant momentum in this key part of our business. We've also signed a wholesale nbn backhaul deal with Leaptel, further enabling the Challenger segment. The contract is expected to add some $4 million to $5 million of revenue over the coming 3 years. So if I focus in a little bit on the segments. In the Consumer segment, over 19,000 net new customers were added year-to-date as of the end of October, demonstrating the continuation of our success in winning market share. Our consumer share of new orders for nbn was 7% overall, and we continue to perform particularly well in the strategically important high-speed segment of the market. Within the Business segment, an additional 6,000 new Smart Communities lots have been secured as mentioned, including FTTP deals with prominent national developers, including Resimax and AVJennings. The first Mirvac build-to-rent site went live with a further 10,000 to 15,000 lots now under construction. Notable wins in the period were achieved in large corporate, including Grant Thorton, IC Markets, Wagner, Ford and Citadel, amongst others. We have a strong pipeline of deals to support future success. In the Wholesale segment, as mentioned, Superloop won a significant contract with Leaptel for a national nbn backhaul service, expected to contribute around $4 million to $5 million over the next 3 years. The Origin migration has been successfully delivered on schedule by the end of October 2024, which is a significant achievement. We re-signed the Macquarie Telecom contract to a new 4-year deal forecast to contribute some $6.6 million over its term. Across the group, we are now approximately 6% market share and stand to benefit from further gains as the challenges continue to grow. And as mentioned, across all 3 segments, Superloop acquired some 182,000 net new customers in the period. In the consumer segment, the increase of 19,000 new customers represents an increase of more than 6% on June 2024. And of course, the huge growth in the wholesale segment includes the Origin Energy subscribers, which have now migrated. If we turn our attention to now look at the outlook for the full year. At the end of the first year of our 3-year double-down strategy, with the ambition to more than double consumer subs, revenue and underlying EBITDA, we are tracking ahead of plan and confident of reaching our ambitions by the end of FY '26. We've already reached our ambition to deliver a positive NPATA following strong performance in all 3 segments in FY '24 with strong growth in customer numbers, revenue and EBITDA. In FY '25, we have undergone a significant step change in earnings contribution from the wholesale segment through the Origin and AGL contracts amongst others. The growth path from here is clear, and the team are completely aligned to deliver that growth in value for shareholders. As we progress through the second year of our double down strategy, we will continue to build on the strong foundations laid in FY '24. There are 3 pillars driving growth for Superloop, a laser focus on maintaining our position as a cost leader, continued initiatives to drive organic growth as well as disciplined M&A. Our positioning as a value player has shown in this past year, in particular, to be the right strategy and is underpinning our growth. And to support our cost structure further, we will continue to invest in digitization and automation and focus on maintaining a low cost to acquire customers. We'll do more of the same to drive organic growth; investing in brand awareness, leveraging our increased customer base by focusing on more cross-sell opportunities, and investing to build out network capacity to support that growth. M&A remains a focus. And whilst we see plenty of opportunities, we take a disciplined approach to what we will consider and pursue. As you saw with the Symbio opportunity last year, we're not afraid to bow out if the transaction moves beyond our value parameters. And any opportunity we pursue must have strong strategic alignment, allowing for tight integration with our existing business and create long-term value for our shareholders. So with that context, we affirm our FY '25 guidance. That guidance is for underlying EBITDA to be in the range of $83 million to $88 million, which I'll remind you is an increase of some 53% to 62% on FY '24. With greater than 50% year-on-year growth in EBITDA, being an obviously very bullish outlook for the business. We think the achievement of the significant milestone of migrating the Origin customers to our network on schedule removes perhaps the largest risk to that FY '25 forecast. And as such, we're happy to affirm our full year guidance. We're maintaining our CapEx range guidance of $28 million to $30 million, which is inclusive of a significant growth in Smart Communities and network capacity for consumer as well as capacity required for our newly acquired wholesale customers. So I'd like to thank all of you for your support. And with that, I'll hand back to Viv to conduct the formal business.

I can see there are no questions from the floor. Are there any questions from shareholders joining online or on the phone for this item of business?

There are no questions on the phone line at this time.

There is 1 question from Mark Edelson. The question is: "the AGM explanatory memorandum noted the number of Origin services was expected to reach 200,000 by mid-February 2025. Do you expect an acceleration in connection growth from the existing number of approximately 158,000 to reach 200,000 by mid-February?"

I'll hand to Paul to answer this question.

Sure. Thank you for the question. The contract we have with Origin requires us to issue shares that they may achieve by hitting a growth milestone within a short period of time, several days. Of course, we need shareholder approval to issue those shares. We have a policy of not commenting on Origins or any customers, wholesale customers, retail, forecasts or their actuals, we will only report on our aggregated customer numbers. So the 200,000 point here is not a forecast, but we have taken the opportunity of the AGM to seek shareholder approval for that next growth milestone should Origin hit it. Shareholder approval only lasts for 3 months. And so the February date is the expiry of that 3-month period. And if they hit that milestone within the 3 months, we grant the shares. And if they don't, we will come for an EGM to seek that approval after that date. It's not a forecast.

Thanks, Paul. Are there any other questions, Tina?

There are no other questions.

As there are no further questions, I now formally move the motion that Resolution 5 be put to the meeting in the form set out in the notice of meeting. Proxy votes received in relation to this resolution are being shown on screen. Please mark your votes for this resolution now. [Voting]

We will now proceed to Resolution 6, approval of increase to Nonexecutive Director fee pool.

Details of Resolution 6 are contained in the notice of meeting, which we have taken as read. The directors abstained from making a recommendation in respect to this resolution and I now welcome questions with respect to the fee pool. Are there any questions from the floor? Thank you.

As there no further questions, I now formally move the motion that Resolution 8 be put to the meeting in the form set out in the notice of meeting. Proxy votes in relation to this resolution are being shown on screen. Please mark your votes for this resolution now. [Voting]

We've now come to the end of the formal items of business. Please ensure that you have cast your votes for each resolution put to the meeting today. Shareholders who are joining us online, please be reminded to click on the submit vote button at the bottom of your electronic voting card. You will have up until 5 minutes after the meeting closes to finalize your votes. For shareholders in attendance here at Sydney, your card will be collected by representatives of Link Market Services shortly. Please put your voting card into the ballot boxes as they come around to you. The result of the polls will be announced to ASX as soon as predictable after the meeting. This brings the formal proceedings to an end, and I now declare the meeting closed. I'd now like to take the time to address any general questions put to the Board or Superloop's management team. Are there any questions from the floor? Thank you. Are there any questions from shareholders joining online or on the phone for this item of business?
