@Rocket6 I think you nailed it, although I had to duck out of the meeting half way through so I'm relying a bit on your writeup.

Only thing I can add is that I spoke to CFO after the meeting as I wanted to get clarity on the accrued revenue movement ($9m versus $5.6m in FY22). I'm just a bit nervous when such a big component of revenue is booked via a journal and the accrual is up so much more than revenue as a whole. The movement is actually made up of four elements that all moved in the direction:

  • Volume made up $1.8m of the increase in the accrual - pretty self explanatory
  • Payment ratio changes made up $0.5m, which represents the amount they recovered from the previous year's accrual over what they estimated. Apparently they've under accrued for the past 5 years, which gives some comfort that they are accruing conservatively
  • FX contributed $0.6m to the movement
  • Slower processing in May/June contributed $0.4m. Apparently they had a tech issue over a few days which resulted in a backlog of fines that have since been processed.

SPZ released their Annual Report last night, with a sneaky trading update: "Results to date in the current year are tracking ahead of the same period in FY23 with the company issuing 150,364 PBN's in July/August 2023, up 25% compared to July August 2022."

Growth slowing slightly on that metric from FY23 (29% growth) but still a solid figure and sets the company up for a strong FY24 regulatory environments permitting.

Nice pick up @Wini

Coincidentally, I was just chatting with their CEO to come and speak with us. We're aiming for the 13th of November at this stage.
