CyanConnode's Payment Structure2 Jun 2026 13:10
Good afternoon all,
The payment terms for each contract, where appropriate, are provided in each CyanConnode RNS. I say " ... where appropriate ..... " because some Clients seem to want to keep the payment terms private and some don't seem to mind as much.
For instance, the 6.5 million Omnimesh Module order, received on 28th August, 2024, confirms:-
" The installations for each project will then be completed within 27 months and followed by a 93 month Support and Maintenance Contracts, which will commence upon completion of the installation phase. Approximately 70% of the contract will be paid during the installation phase. The remaining 30% of the contract will be paid for in equal monthly instalments, over the duration of the Support and Maintenance period."
So this particular 27 month installation phase, should be completed towards the end of 2026, if we work from the date on the RNS - 28th August, 2024. But as it also confirms within the RNS, that the " .... supply of Omnimesh Modules expected to commence during H2 FY 2025." So the installation phase for this particular contract may move into early 2027, dependent on when the contract was deemed to have started.
Overall gross margin targets have been highlighted over recent years, by CyanConnode, for both the Installation periods and the Support & Maintenance periods. Higher revenue and lower gross margin for the Installation Period and lower revenue and higher gross margin for the Support & Maintenance Period.
Bobjim mentioned Esyasoft earlier today and seemed to suggest that it was a good time for Esyasoft to make an approach. I agree and have commented many times over the last 4 months, that I thought that the Esyasoft offer was opportunistic. Especially with IntelliSmarts focus now being elsewhere, for the time being.
Just a contribution to the general discussion.
Good Luck all.
LTI.
