Hubify Limited (ASX:HFY) ("Hubify", or the "Company"), a leading provider of Telco and IT/ Managed Services to Australian businesses, today announced its financial results for the Half-year ended December 2021. Customer revenues grew by 38% from 1H21 to $10.8m, while recurring revenues increased by 57% to $7.8m, which, positively, now represent 68% of total revenue. Total organic growth was up 16% from 1H21, led by the strong demand from the Managed Services business and solid growth across telco divisions. On the back of continued revenue growth and a notable increase in gross margins (71.8% vs 63.9% pcp), gross profit grew by 57% to $7.8m. Notwithstanding continued strong growth in top line numbers, EBITDA ($0.43m) was impacted by the Company's strategic decision to invest in additional headcount and capability during the period in order to execute upon an increasingly strong sales pipeline and new enterprise customer contracts in the Managed Services sector, in line with HFY's stated growth strategy.

The Managed Service & Cyber Security business continues to grow strongly with its Enterprise customer offerings in Business IT, Cloud services and IT infrastructure and is fuelling a pipeline of telco voice and data opportunities for the company. To support this growth Hubify has successfully recruited technical and project management staff to provide the necessary expertise and fulfill the immediate increase in requirements for Managed Service & Cyber Security customers. Costs associated with onboarding staff to support new customer contracts and the necessary building of expertise in the Enterprise managed services has driven the increase in customer revenue.

The COVID environment impacted revenue during the period across a number of areas from the provisioning and billing of clients, sales calls to customer prospects, and new client on-boarding. The company continued to support staff

Going forward, as Australian Business' return to the office, SMB's and Enterprise are responding to pent up consumer demand in Mobility, Voice and Internet & Networks, and the Company expects this to act as an important tailwind across these divisions for the remainder of FY22.

Hubify Limited CEO Victor Tsaccounis said:

"1H22 was a transformational period for the company with the establishment of our Managed Services practice. Hubify successfully recruited technical and project management staff to fulfil the immediate increase in services necessary to manage the growth in the Managed Services division. In just over six months we now have over 50 additional employees to deliver IT and Telco solutions to our clients and have the capability to successfully manage the IT and technology needs for large Enterprise customers.
