AGM Results (Source: Company Reports)

With more than 1500 employees and 250 local engineers, the company is having a unique global footprint spread across 140+ countries. The information technology is undergoing a major transformation with the growth in data connectivity needs and the need for managed services globally.

From the year 1992 to 2019, the company has evolved from being a managed Connectivity Service Provider to being a managed Information Service Provider.

In 2018, the group revenue increased by 21% to US$623.1 million with organic revenue growing by 5%.

In 2018, the company completed the acquisition of Globecomm, which almost doubles the scale of its revenue in the high growth global government sector and brings both significant cost and revenue synergy opportunities. Moreover, the company celebrated the signing of the two largest contracts in the history of the Company, with NBN Co in Australia and Carnival Corporation in the U.S.

The company achieved strong organic growth in three of its Divisions – Maritime, EEM and Government. However, the results of the Energy division were impacted by the delay in recovery in the Energy market, which affected the company’s results and led to adjusted guidance during the year.

In 2019, the company’s focus is to build on the strong foundations of the business and deliver organic growth across its business. This will allow the company to continue to invest for growth as well as, importantly, reduce its debt leverage.

In 2018, the company expanded its capabilities and developed solutions that bring value to the company’s customers. Through the year the company was recognised by the Australian Communications Industry (ACOMM), Euroconsult and VSAT Global with various product innovation awards.
