Aconex Limited today lodged its Appendix 4C report of cash flow for the quarter ended 30 June 2016 with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
Aconex reported a cash balance of $50.0 million at 30 June 2016 and net operating cash flow of $0.2 million for the quarter ended 30 June 2016. Net operating cash flow included business acquisition and integration costs of $1.4 million related to the acquisition of Conject Holding GmbH. Excluding acquisition and integration costs, operating cash flow was $1.6 million for the quarter. Year over year, net cash receipts from customers increased 40% for the quarter and 38% for the full year.
"Our fourth-quarter operating performance was consistent with expectations," said Aconex CEO Leigh Jasper. "We look forward to reporting our full-year results and to a strong FY17 for the integrated Aconex and Conject business."
During the quarter, Aconex completed its acquisition of Conject, a leading cloud and mobile collaboration service provider in Europe and other regions, and a share purchase plan (SPP) under which eligible shareholders purchased 2.3 million shares at an issue price of $5.20, raising a total of $12.0 million. The SPP followed a capital raising of $120 million in March to finance the Conject acquisition and provide additional working capital.
Business highlights for the quarter also included enterprise agreements with Fluor Corporation, a leading global engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm, and ExxonMobil Corporation, the world's largest publicly traded international oil and gas company.
