EBITDA bridge 2017A to 2018A Comments
• EBITDA has been positively impacted by increased revenues and a positive gross margin impact
• Higher gross margin has been driven by an increased share of revenues from services
- Recurring revenue profile with multi-year contracts
- Provides increased revenue visibility going forward
• Gross margins have also been positively impacted by better pricing terms with vendors
- The combined group has stronger bargaining power with vendors than any stand-alone entity
• The new commercial strategy has involved hiring new sales personnel and incentive based salaries
• The recurring nature of the revenue increase is expected to far outweigh the increased sales and marketing cost over the next years
• G&A cost was reduced through an initial integration program
• Business model geared towards benefitting from operational leverage with significant future margin expansion potential
• Investments relating to the integration of Coresec, Nebulas and iT-Cube are underway and SecureLink expects to benefit from increased operational leverage going forward

Comments
1. Low NWC requirements
• Vendor payment terms more favourable than customer payment terms
• The majority of service agreements are invoiced on an annual basis upfront
• SecureLink’s service contracts include multi-year contracts often paid upfront to obtain highest discount levels and resulting in negative NWC
• Contracts are trending towards a subscription based model, resulting in a slightly increased NWC (albeit still negative), but significantly improved revenue visibility
2. Minimal CAPEX
• Asset light business with minimal capital tied up in equipment
• The company develops internal software applications to be used as part of MS and MSS
• ~EUR 1m of CAPEX relates to PPE and spare parts inventories
• Normalized CAPEX levels expected at ~EUR 3m p.a.
3. Positive cash conversion trend going forward
