K2fly Business Segments

Around the end of the financial year 2018 (FY18), K2fly had made the strategic decision to no longer focus on owned software products including ADAM, Novin, Docman, Tagman, and the other acquired technology assets from K2 Technology Pty Ltd, as little demand / interest was being received for those products. As a result, K2fly targeted its focus on Infoscope, which was acquired earlier and already a part of its SaaS-based offering. Later in May 2019, the company completed the acquisition of RCubed Resources and Reserves Reporting software solution that has been extremely complementary to K2Fâs owned software solution, Infoscope.
The total revenue for FY2019 rose to $ 3.79 million, depicting an increase of 50% year-on-year compared to FY2018. Meanwhile, the companyâs quarter on quarter revenue demonstrated a consistent upward momentum through the year. In the most recent quarter ended 30 September 2019, K2fly raised invoices for approximately $ 1.43 million, depicting an improvement of 44% over the corresponding quarter in FY19.
With what appears to be the alignment of a perfect storm:
- Changes introduced by the US Securities and Exchange Commission to the reporting and disclosure requirements of mining companies operating in the US or listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE); and
- The increasing demand for companies to be ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) compliant.
Both these developments, in particular, have pushed up the demand for K2flyâs owned software offerings. Infoscope and RCubed that are now uniquely positioned to enable companies to comply with their reporting requirements and demonstrate their âsocial licenceâ to operate.
Thus, the companyâs own software solutions (RCubed and Infoscope) are proving to be transformative on a number of levels as K2fly now has-
- An office in Centurion, near Johannesburg, South Africa;
- Major mining houses as clients including- Fortescue Metals Group, Teck Resources Ltd, Anglo Gold Ashanti; Contracts signed in 2019 comprise Mineral Resources Ltd in February; Panoramic Resources Ltd in March, Imerys SA in June; Glencore Canada Corporation in August; Newcrest Mining Ltd in September; Nexa Resources in October; and most recently Rio Tinto in November.
- Increased Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) from software subscriptions.
The testimony to RCubed software solution âbest in classâ nature is the contracts secured from mining companies of such a high calibre, including Tier 1 - Rio Tinto. In addition to existing clients, the company has also been working on consultancy assignments with a range of new clients including like EDF Energy, Queensland Urban Utilities, Stanwell Energy, South Australian Water and New Hope Group.
The Chairman pleasingly informed that K2flyâs ARR from software subscriptions is now approaching $ 1.5 million as on 25 November 2019.
