In commenting, President & CEO Michael Nark, said the strong first half results that followed equally strong FY17 results, demonstrate that BuildingIQ is continuing to deliver on its business strategy. “Our focus remains on financially astute growth. This has, and continues to be achieved through our strategic initiatives - strengthening our position in current markets; driving more of our services to existing customers: and expanding into new geographies.”

“Our 1H FY18 Annual Contracted Revenue, grew to A$7.99 million, up 50%. This measure of expected future revenue over the next 12-month period, is a strong indication of the growth BuildingIQ is delivering through our multi-region and diversified services strategy.

“Positively, the Company has seen a significant improvement in cash inflow driven by a substantial increase in revenue, building growth and a lift in cash collections. This has led a 21% improvement in EBITDA.”, Mr. Nark said.

Our focus remains on financially astute growth through our key strategic objectives of:
  • Strengthening our position in current markets. This will be achieved from both new greenfield and established buildings growth and through a combination of organic and inorganic growth.
