BRISBANE Australia, 29 January 2024: Felix Group Holdings Ltd (ASX:FLX) (“Felix” or the
“Company”) is pleased to release its quarterly business update and Appendix 4C for the
period ended 31 December 2023 (“Q2 FY24”).
New contract wins and expansions
Felix has signed its first international contract outside of APAC with a global multi-disciplinary
engineering, project delivery and operations management Contractor. Predominantly focused
on the mining, minerals, and metals industry, the Contractor operates across Africa and the
Middle East, North and South America, and APAC. Felix will be initially utilised across 4
projects in South Africa and Ethiopia. The contract builds on Felix’s already considerable
international momentum, with its platform rolled out on over 90 international projects by
existing customers.
Notably, the Contractor is a long-term customer of InEight’s construction project management
solution and intends to adopt the Felix and InEight integrated solution, representing Felix’s
second joint customer with InEight. The contract also validates Felix’s targeted international
expansion strategy, following early investment in the internationalisation of the platform,
including SOC2 and GDPR certification.
Felix has also signed a contract with an ASX-listed provider of network services to utility,
telecommunications, and transport asset owners across Australia. The contract will see Felix’s
Vendor Management, Sourcing and Procurement Schedule deployed on a long-term defencebased maintenance project.
In addition, two expansion deals were signed in Q2 FY24, which in aggregate added $48k in
ARR.
Throughout the quarter, Felix’s pipeline of prospective customers continued to grow, with the
total value of opportunities increasing 28% over the last 6 months to December 2023. The
growth has primarily been driven by momentum in the mining & resources and real estate
sectors.
Felix’s Co-Founder and CEO, Mike Davis commented:
“We are excited to have signed Felix’s first international contract, a milestone in our
international growth strategy and second joint customer with our strategic partner InEight.
With our growth strategy continuing as we head into 2024, we are highly focused on
progressing towards operating cash flow breakeven in Q1 FY25, underpinned by continued
revenue growth and careful cost management.
Record Contractor MRR growth
Contractor MRR1 for the closing month of the quarter was a record $426k, increasing 67% on
pcp, driven by the successful onboarding of new Contractor customers signed in the prior
quarter and implementation of expansion deals (refer to Figure 1). Strong Contractor MRR
growth highlights Felix’s continued execution of converting Contractors in the pipeline, while
also expanding existing customer accounts.

Q2 FY22 Q3 FY22 Q4 FY22 Q1 FY23 Q2 FY23 Q3 FY23 Q4 FY23 Q1 FY24 Q2 FY24
Felix delivered Contractor ARR 2 of $4.9m in Q2 FY24 (refer to Figure 2), increasing 55% on
pcp, driven by the growth in larger contracts being signed and significant expansion deals.
The softer quarter-on-quarter growth in Q2 FY24 is a result of a number of opportunities due
to close in Q2 FY24 falling into Q3 FY24. Pleasingly, average ARR per customer continues to
rise strongly from $74k in Q2 FY23 to $101k in Q2 FY24.
1 Contractor MRR represents the monthly recurring revenue as at 31 December 2023 and excludes
contracts yet to be implemented
2 Contractor ARR is the sum of contracted annualised recurring revenue for all Felix Contractor
customers, which includes contracts yet to be implemented

Q2 FY22 Q3 FY22 Q4 FY22 Q1 FY23 Q2 FY23 Q3 FY23 Q4 FY23 Q1 FY24 Q2 FY24
Felix recorded Contractor NRR 3 of 116% in Q2 FY24, a significant increase relative to 97% in
Q2 FY23. This result is despite one customer churning during the quarter. The strong
Contractor NRR highlights the mission critical nature of Felix’s solution for existing customers,
as well as Felix’s ability to upsell through increased usage and module uptake, or by upselling
into larger parent organisations of its existing customer base.
Group financial update
Total Group ARR was $6.8m in Q2 FY24, increasing 39% on pcp (refer to Figure 3). Of this,
Felix’s Vendor ARR contributed $1.9m, a decrease relative to the prior quarter, resulting in a
small quarter-on-quarter decline in Group ARR. The decrease in Vendor ARR is mainly
attributed to a decline in activity during the holiday period, with the results also being in-line
with Felix’s strategic focus on scaling Contractor ARR.

Vendor Marketplace
Felix grew the number of Vendors in the Vendor Marketplace to 90,522 in Q2 FY24, increasing
14% on pcp (refer to Figure 4). Strong growth in the number of Vendors in the Vendor
Marketplace supports Felix’s strategic goal of monetising the marketplace in the medium-term,
following development of key modules and features.
3 Contractor NRR is calculated by comparing the contracted ARR of Contractor customers as at 31
December 2023 with the contracted ARR of the same customers as at 31 December 2022

Key engagement metrics
New Contractor wins and continued uptake of Vendor Marketplace in Contractor workflows,
including in international markets, has contributed to strong growth in key engagement
metrics. These include for the period ending 31 December 2023:
•
Number of Active Projects: +52% pcp
•
Requests for Quotations (RFQ) sent by Contractors: +67% pcp
•
Total active Vendor Compliance Documents: +25% pcp
•
Total Contractor User Accounts: +6% pcp
Corporate update
Felix reported receipts from customers of $2.5m and net operating cash outflows of $675k for
the quarter ending 31 December 2023. Felix’s YTD cash receipts have increased 71% on pcp,
while YTD operating outflows have only increased 7% on pcp. Furthermore, cost base
efficiencies made in Q2 FY24 will reduce annualised operating cash outflows by 9% from Q3
FY24. Felix has delivered a significant improvement in cashflow performance with total YTD
net operating cash outflows of $1.3m, representing a 57% reduction relative to H1 FY23.
Overall, the results are in line with Felix’s aim of achieving operating cashflow breakeven in
Q1 FY25.
Payments totalling $184k were made to related parties and associates for Directors’ fees.
These payments were included in cash flows from operating activities and cash flows from
financial activities (item 6.1 in the below Appendix 4C). At the end of the quarter, Felix held
$4.4m in cash and cash equivalents.
