GetBusy plc ("GetBusy" or the "Group") (AIM: GETB), a leading provider of productivity software for professional and financial services, provides an update on trading for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the "Year").
The business made strong progress in 2024, a year which is expected to yield in excess of a 40% increase in Adjusted EBITDA and the first year that the Group has broadly broken even at the Adjusted Profit level. Annualised Recurring Revenue (ARR) grew by 6% at constant currency to £21.6m with reported recurring revenue up 4% at constant currency to £20.8m. Total revenue was up 3% for the Year, at constant currency, to £21.4m. Net cash at 31 December 2024 was £1.1m with available cash funds of £3.1m. The board considers the Group to be sufficiently funded to execute its strategy.
Within SmartVault, we continued to generate double digit ARR growth. Importantly, this month we deepened our longstanding strategic partnership with Intuit, one of the dominant players in the US accounting market, powering the only document management solution natively integrated with ProConnect, Intuit's next generation cloud tax prep application. The board is confident this partnership will further accelerate SmartVault's growth over the coming years. We also extended our product capabilities with the acquisition of SmartPath, providing a platform on which we can build a more extensive offering to help accountants transition to become advisory-led firms, and we expect to deliver further significant product value across the whole SmartVault platform over the next 12 months.
Within Workiro, we saw encouraging new customer wins from our partnerships in the ERP market. New business grew over 500% over 2023, exceeding our average selling price expectations and providing additional confidence the enterprise market targeted by Workiro is characterised by large deal sizes and low churn, driving strong customer lifetime value. We also strengthened our base of platinum partners, including the addition of RSM, Europe's largest provider of NetSuite implementation services, products and solutions and part of a leading global network, giving the board confidence that the ERP ecosystems understand the significant customer problems our solution is solving.
The path to creating material cash returns for shareholders over the next few years is clearer and, we believe, more achievable than ever, strengthened by recent industry-related transactions in the market. The board has a high degree of confidence in the successful execution of its strategy.
