If you require immediate assistance during the call, please press star zero for the operator at any time. This call is being recorded today, Monday, December the 19th, 2022. I would now like to turn the meeting over to Brian L. Derksen, Chairman of the Board. Please go ahead, sir. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 2022 annual general meeting of the shareholders of Dye & Durham Limited. My name is Brian L. Derksen, I'm the Chair of the Board, and I'm joined by Matthew Proud, the company's Chief Executive Officer. I'm pleased to be here today to preside over this meeting. On behalf of the board, I would like to thank the shareholders present at the meeting as well as those who submitted their proxies in advance. To ensure we have a complete record of those present, I would ask anyone who has not yet given his or her name to the scrutineer, please to do so now. I would also like to remind all those present that this is a meeting of the shareholders of Dye & Durham Limited. Although other persons can be present, only the shareholders or their proxies are entitled to participate in the meeting. Please note that for those shareholders who are unable to attend the meeting, the company has made an audio-only telephone conference available for shareholders to listen to the meeting, although no voting will occur on the audio conference. Please also note that there may be slight delays throughout the meeting when different speakers begin or when we respond to various questions. Before we begin the formal proceedings, I'd like to introduce the current members of our board. In addition to Matthew Proud and myself, present or in person online for today's meeting are Mario Di Pietro, David Macdonald, Brad Wall, Edward Prittie, and Ronnie Wahi. Also present is Leslie O'Donoghue, who is currently a nominee to the board. Also present are certain members of the management team, including Matthew Proud, our Chief Executive Officer, Frank Di Liso, our Chief Financial Officer, Charles Ford MacCready, our Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, and Wojtek Dabrowski, our Chief Communications Officer. At this time, I'd like to take a minute to formally recognize Brad Wall, who has decided not to stand for re-election at this year's annual meeting. Brad joined the board in conjunction with our IPO in July 2020, and he's been an important part of the Dye & Durham board throughout the period of tremendous growth since our IPO in July of 2020. Brad has brought his considerable leadership talents, his governance experience, and his government relations capabilities to the board. His contributions have been invaluable. I personally enjoyed the opportunity to work with and get to know Brad Wall. On behalf of the company's shareholders and its board, I would like to thank him for his service. We will now proceed to the formal items on the agenda. Once the formal business of the meeting is concluded, Matt Proud will make a few comments. I now call the meeting to order. With the consent of the meeting, I will act as the Chair of the meeting. I will ask Chris Murphy Ives to act as the Secretary, and Patty Sigiannis from Computershare to act as the Scrutineer. To make best use of our time, certain shareholders have been asked to move and second motions related to the business conducted at the meeting. Shareholders who are present who wish to make comments relating these motions may do so after the motion is seconded. The secretary has advised me that the notice calling the meeting, together with the notice of availability of proxy materials and the related form of the proxy, have been mailed to each intermediary and registered shareholder of record for the meeting. The secretary has also confirmed that a quorum of the shareholders is meeting. I confirm that the meeting is properly constituted. I ask that the scrutineer's report on the attendance and affidavit of mailing be annexed to the minutes of the meeting. Each share represented at this meeting is entitled to one vote. Unless a ballot is called for, voting will be conducted by a show of hands for those who are present at the meeting. The first item of business for this meeting is the presentation of the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022. A copy of the financial statements was previously made available to all shareholders, and additional copies are available upon request. I would ask that the secretary attach the fiscal 2022 financial statements and related auditor's report to the schedule, as a schedule to the minutes of the meeting. Shareholders do not have to take any action with respect to the financial statements. We will now proceed to the election of the directors. Dye & Durham currently has seven directors whose terms expires at the end of today's meeting. The number of directors to be elected at this meeting is also seven. The Management Information sets out the particulars of the nominees. The proposed nominees for the company are myself, Brian L. Derksen, Matthew Proud, Mario Di Pietro, David Macdonald, Edward Prittie, Ronnie Wahi, and Leslie O'Donoghue.

If there's no further business, the meeting is hereby terminated. On behalf of the management and the board, I would like to thank you for attending today. Now that the formal board part of the meeting has been concluded, I would like to invite Matt Proud to make a few comments. Good morning, and thank you for attending this morning. We've built a diversified business across three geographies and across multiple product lines. It's a business we've scaled dramatically since the IPO just 30 months ago. In June 2020, we reported total EBITDA, total revenue of more than CAD 65 million, adjusted EBITDA of just over CAD 36 million. Two years later, we've grown to more than CAD 474 million in revenue and CAD 267 million adjusted EBITDA as the end of last fiscal year. This represents growth of 127% in revenue and 199% adjusted EBITDA compared to fiscal 2021, all while maintaining healthy and consistent EBITDA margins above 50%. We're building a global leader in the B2B software and services space that supports legal and business professionals. We continue to execute our strategy of disciplined capital allocation to build a business of scale through acquisitions and investments in our existing platform. These acquisitions and investments drive enhancements and new capabilities of the platform that improve efficiency and productivity for our customers. It's a highly resilient business. It's also a highly reliable business that generates digital infrastructure like cash flow and annuity-like revenue. With our relatively fixed cost base, this allows us to drive the higher EBITDA margins that we do. From a company perspective, it's been an incredible two years. We've created one of the world's largest providers of cloud-based legal practice management software that makes managing a law firm from organizing cases to collaborate with clients easy. We also provide critical information services and workflow, which our customers use to manage their non-discretionary information, regulatory, and due diligence requirements. This fits very well with the practice management software we sell, as this critical information service is used in most legal transactions. Our customer base is extremely sticky. Customer churn is a low single digit at 3.9% for the most recent period. This speaks to the value our platform delivers to customers as their workflow solution and an essential part of their day-to-day activities. During fiscal 2022, we focused on growing subscription-based pricing, which we've seen strong traction among our customer base. Year-over-year, we grew our subscription revenue by 114% compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. We also focused on integration. In fiscal 2021, we completed a lot of acquisitions, so a lot of the focus was internal in fiscal 2022. Disciplined cost management is a core capability of ours. As part of our efficiency initiative, we've transitioned from a regional-based management structure to a functional-based structure, which has resulted in, you know, CAD 18 million of cost being removed from the business since the start of the fiscal year on an annualized basis. Finally, this morning, we also announced that our CAD 150 million Substantial Issuer Bid is fully subscribed at a price of CAD 14.50, which is great news for those shareholders who continue to hold. With the SIB, we will be purchasing and retiring more than 10.3 million shares, which increases the total of 12.6 million shares we've retired when you include our recent Normal Course Issuer Bid. Given the capital market dynamics, the consistency of our business that we face, particularly as it relates to real estate headwinds, is strong. The strength of our balance sheet and the performance of the business means that we're in a good place to use this capital at this point in time towards things like a SIB, especially given the significant discount which we trade in the market given the scale of the business we've built. At the time of IPO in June 2020, again, we generated CAD 37 million Adjusted EBITDA with just over 2x leverage. Today, our Adjusted EBITDA is more than 7x larger than that, and we maintain a leverage ratio of in the 2x to 3x range. It's a strong business. It's a strong balance sheet. We've demonstrated through multiple market cycles that we're able to manage the business for consistent and sustainable performance. We continue to execute on our strategy of scaling through acquisitions. We've rapidly built a business that generates strong top-line growth within an industry that provides stable cash flow and a very healthy margin profile. We're building a business that has a very strong performance. Despite challenging markets, you're seeing that performance continues. We produce a lot of cash and generate a lot of EBITDA. We look forward to updating you on our progress as we move forward. Thank you for your time today. Thank you, Matt. That concludes the remarks from management and it also concludes the 2022 annual general meeting. I would like to thank everyone for attending this meeting and for your support of the company. Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude your conference call for this morning. We would like to thank you all for participating and ask you to kindly disconnect your line.
