ARR stands at 90% of total revenue. This means that 90% of its total revenue is locked-in at the start of the financial year, which positions it “well to achieve strong continuing growth” in the new year.
The business is looking to double in size every five years, with part of the plan being to continue investing in research and development. It invested $92.2 million in R&D in FY22, up 19.6%.
In the 2022 financial year, TechnologyOne’s profit before tax margin was 30% – it’s expecting this to improve to 35% in the coming years.
Final thoughts on the TechnologyOne share price
TechnologyOne seems to be doing all the right things to produce a good offering for customers and produce good growth for shareholders.
Over the last six months, it has gone up over 20%. It’s not a bargain today, but if it can keep growing profit at double digits over the rest of the decade then it could be very promising.
