What else happened for LiveTiles last quarter?

LiveTiles printed Q4 FY22 cash receipts of $12.9 million, a decline of 11% year on year. This was underscored by approximately $1.7 million in lower-than-expected customer receipts due by 30 June.

The company says these "were delayed and not received in time," and that 60% of the expected collections have since been received.

Operating revenues were $52.8 million for FY22, up 17% from FY21. The growth was driven by increasing software subscriptions.

Contracted user licenses reached 2.78 million at 30 June 2022. This was up 20% from the same time last year. LiveTiles Reach also continued to expand, up 79% over the 12-month period.

LiveTiles also secured a key customer upsell deal in Q4. This will comprise an initial $200,000 in software and $900,000 in services over three years, the company says.

The customer – an international law firm domiciled across the United States and Europe – has committed to the full employee experience (EX) offering.

Management commentary

Speaking on the results, LiveTiles co-founder and chief executive officer Karl Redenbach said:

The June quarter marks one of strong operational achievements with the completion of integration of The Human Link and the formal launch of our Employee Experience Academy.

These milestones represent a great opportunity for us to further expand our global footprint and lay the foundations for continued commercial growth through expanded distribution of our proprietary products globally.

We remain confident LiveTiles is well positioned to consolidate its place as a leader in the Employee Experience market and continue to deliver growth through the next 12 months.
