Annual Report 2024
Chair’s Letter
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Change Financial Limited (Change), I am pleased to present our Annual Report
for the year ended 30 June 2024.
As we look back on the 2024 financial year we do so with excitement and optimism for the future of
Change. The year saw our Company evolve following a period of significant investment in product
development and business readiness moving into the commercialisation and operational stage of our journey.
Our focus on our technology, product, people and operations have set us up to execute on our vision of simplifying payment
experiences globally and becoming a leading payments solutions provider via simple, flexible, secure and fast to market technology.
During the year we completed a number of key initiatives fundamental to achieving our vision – we hired in key departments to
strengthen our operational teams, completed NZ domestic network connectivity, completed Mastercard certification in Australia,
launched the latest version of Vertexon in the US, began our PaySim modernisation project and most notably we launched the first
Payments as a Service (PaaS) clients in New Zealand, Australia and the US on the Vertexon platform.
With Change now processing material volumes for blue chip financial institution clients, we are seeing that reference-ability is a key
enabler for future revenue growth from both our existing contracted clients and pipeline opportunities.
All these achievements of the past year are essential to the recent revenue growth and financial success we have seen the business
deliver. I am particularly proud of the achievements of the Change team which have provided us with the solid foundations to drive
increased growth as the business continues to move into the commercialisation phase. Looking forward, we are targeting to deliver
revenue growth in excess of 30% and a maiden EBITDA positive result in financial year 2025 which would mark another significant
milestone in Change’s journey.
I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Board of Directors, to thank all our valued clients, partners and employees and
highlight how important they are to us and the successful future of our Company.
Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and we look forward to keeping you informed of our key
achievements throughout the upcoming year.
Sincerely,
Edward Grobler

Annual Report 2024
CEO's Report
Dear Shareholders,
The 2024 financial year marked another year of great progress for Change as we completed the final
year of our three-year strategy. During this time, with our focus on bringing our best-in-class on-premise
technology into the cloud, we have now completed our transformation into a software as a service led
business and have set Change up to deliver growth now and in the future. It is exciting to see the financial
pull through of this starting in financial year 2024, particularly in the second half, with our first PaaS
revenue contribution and securing another major credit union client.
Of significant note, during the year we achieved the following major milestones:
• Continued to invest in our two core products with a particular focus on Vertexon – delivering market leading solutions
• Strengthened and refined core operational capabilities – compliance, treasury, fraud and transaction monitoring
• Completed the migration of our first NZ financial institution PaaS clients – driving significant transactional volumes
and revenue
• Won new financial institution and fintech clients in NZ – will drive increased revenue in financial year 2025 and beyond
• Won and onboarded clients in the US and Australia – platform now live and fully operational in both countries
• Rationalised a dated platform version resulting in material cost savings and improved operational efficiency
These achievements led to Change delivering revenue of US$10.6 million (A$15.8¹ million) in financial year 2024, an increase of 22% on the
prior year. Excitingly, in the second half we delivered revenue of US$6.2 million (A$9.3¹ million), an increase of 39% vs prior corresponding
period (pcp) which was primarily driven by the first contribution from our PaaS clients. Our PaaS revenues are continuing to increase as
clients complete their migrations to Change and we continue to onboard new clients.
Following a significant period of product investment and operational readiness, we have entered a new phase for the business, and we are
increasing our focus on the commercialisation of our two core products. We have done an incredible amount of work to streamline the
business with the necessary resources capable of scaling and delivering future revenue growth profitably. The increasing revenue growth
coupled with a stable cost base resulted in a material reduction in the EBITDA loss in FY24 to US$0.7 million (A$1.0¹ million), a significant
(42%) improvement from the prior year EBITDA loss of US$1.3 million (A$2.2¹ million). Of significant note, Change delivered an EBITDA
neutral second half of the year demonstrating the increasing operating leverage in the business.
Looking forward, we enter financial year 2025 with an increased contracted revenue base and maintain our focus on delivering profitable
revenue growth. With the PaaS platform live and operational in all key target markets of New Zealand, Australia and the US, we are
targeting revenue growth in excess of 30% in financial year 2025. Coupled with an established cost base capable of supporting significant
scale in our PaaS offering, we are also targeting to deliver a maiden EBITDA positive year.
As I look back at my first year as CEO, I am extremely proud of the progress our team has made and I am excited for the years ahead
as we chase our ambition to be a dominant player in the payments space. Following several years of investment we have entered the
commercialisation phase of our journey and we have the product, people and processes to drive success.
I would like to sincerely thank our team, clients, partners and shareholders for their ongoing support. To the Change team, thank you for
your ongoing dedication and commitment to delivering the key milestones over this past year. These milestones are critical to our future
growth and success.
Sincerely,
Tony Sheehan
CEO

Annual Report 2024
Key risks
The Company is exposed to a number of risks including regulatory, operational, financial, technological and broader market factors.
These risks may impact on the Company’s ability to achieve financial and operational targets. The Company manages these risks
through the senior leadership team with oversight from the Audit & Risk Committee. Key risk management policies are reviewed and
approved by the Audit & Risk Committee and implemented by the senior leadership team. Some of the key risks include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Product commercialisation – revenue growth is dependent on the ability to commercialise new products. The Vertexon PaaS
platform is now live and operational in Australia, New Zealand and the US with over 40,000 active cards on the platform.
Whilst the Company has commenced generating revenue from the Vertexon PaaS platform, continued future revenue growth
is dependent on growing the client base and increasing volumes.
Ability to scale – the ability to scale the business is key to driving profitable future growth. The Company is focused on growing
in pre-defined core target markets with the goal of achieving scale in these regions.
General financial – the Company is subject to financial risks including increased operational costs, reduced client pricing, and
access to equity and debt sources. The Company manages its financial risk by regularly monitoring and forecasting financial
performance, cashflows and capital requirements.
Competition – the Company operates in a competitive market with other companies providing similar services. The Company
mitigates this risk through product and service differentiation and entering long term contracts with clients where possible.
Technology – the Company is subject to technology related risks which may impact on financial, operational and reputational
value. Technology risks include cyber-attacks which have the potential to impact the Company and its clients. The Company
mitigates these risks by continuing to invest in IT systems, training and testing.
Operational – the Vertexon PaaS offering, particularly card issuing, requires different skill sets and business operations to
ensure success. Card issuing also introduces new risks to the business particularly in relation to treasury, fraud and compliance.
The Company has appointed experienced individuals with the requisite skills in these areas to mitigate risk associated with
card issuing.
Regulatory – the Company operates in more than 40 countries and provides card issuing (which is a regulated activity) in
New Zealand, Australia and the US. The Company has a dedicated compliance function, assisted by specialist external
advisors, which is responsible for ensuring the Company complies with existing regulations and any future changes.
The Company closely monitors regulatory requirements to ensure current and future compliance and to enable the Company
to respond to upcoming changes as and when required.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
No significant changes in the state of affairs other than as set out in the Review of Operations above.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
Nil.
Likely developments and expected results of operations

The value of options and / or performance rights issued to Directors and employees as remuneration is expensed over the vesting period
which may be a number of years. Therefore, the amount for share based payments is not a cash expense and represents the expense
recognised in that financial year for options and / or performance rights granted as remuneration in that year and prior years.
Negative amounts are the options forfeited but not yet vested at the time of forfeiture.
In the current year, a portion of remuneration for the Key Management Personnel are performance related. Performance related
remuneration is based on achieving certain financial and operational targets that are aligned to the success of the Company.
The Company undertakes a formal process to assess actual results achieved relative to the targets set to determine an individual’s
eligibility for performance related remuneration.
