Dubber Key Metrics

Dubber March 2021 Quarterly Activities and Business Update


Dubber Key MetricsTelecommunications Networks Growth and YieldThe Company continued to expand its footprint of service provider networks along with increasing penetration and revenue yield from its current telecommunication and Unified Communication (UC) platform partners.AT&TDuring the quarter,the Dubber platform went live on three AT&T networks: AT&T IP Toll-Free,AT&T Hosted Voice Service (HVS),and Cisco Webex Calling with AT&T. All three of these networks target large enterprise,government,education,and business clients. The HVS and Webex Calling networks are already providing positive uptake in SaaS monthly subscription users and services.AT&T's IP Toll-Free is a major global network carrying calls for the largest organisations in North America and is billed on a per minute consumption rate. Dubber's recording,API,transcription and AI services will also be billed on a per minute rate at accretive unit increments,thereby introducing meaningful consumption based revenue streams to Dubber.Currently,AT&T and IBM are engaged with existing mutual large enterprise customers to demonstrate the value of the newly available services on the platform which add substantial insights to those organisations,enabling them to gain valuable business intelligence from their voice data.The Company expects the Dubber platform to be live on additional AT&T networks in both the short and medium term.Unified Call Recording MomentumThe Company has previously referenced Unified Call Recording (UCR) which defines the Company's unique value proposition of unifying call recording and voice data at scale. UCR reflects how businesses and individuals work today,particularly in Covid-19 driven 'work from home' settings and hybrid work environments.The Company has recently become one of only two vendors certified for Compliant Call Recording for Microsoft Teams.Dubber is already the embedded and only recording offering for Cisco's Webex Calling platform with the Company expecting to substantially extend its relationship and availability with Cisco Webex in the near term.During the quarter,the Company also announced availability of a Unified Call Recording solution for Zoom that allows for secure compliance and voice intelligence call recording for Zoom Meetings as well as Zoom's recently launched cloud phone service,Zoom Phone.Typical business communications usually involve the use of desk phones,mobiles,and UC services such as Cisco Webex,Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Dubber is uniquely placed to be able to capture recordings and voice data from all services and store them in a single location,the Dubber Voice Intelligence Cloud,where they can be managed centrally.Behind these UC platform announcements is an industry trend whereby large global service providers are releasing their own network offerings in conjunction with cloud collaboration platforms like Zoom Phone,Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex Calling. Dubber has detected a pronounced acceleration of telecommunication services moving to a cloud environment,either from traditional telecommunications carriers or by stand-alone UCaaS services in the last two quarters. By virtue of its unique ability to be embed into the fabric of a network and operate at scale,the company is a significant beneficiary of this trend and we believe it will continue to accelerate globally in the quarters ahead.Foundation Partner ProgramThe Dubber platform has been designed specifically for large scale availability across telecommunications networks,as opposed to legacy bespoke recording products for enterprises,which are largely tied to on premise equipment,capital expenditure and call centre environments.The Company expects several of its service provider partners to deploy the Dubber platform as a standard feature across their network base as "Dubber Foundation Partners". The Company is actively engaged in discussions with major service providers to become Foundation Partners and expects the first initiative of this kind will take place in the current quarter.This will provide the Company large scale customer reach into end user accounts for jointly upselling additional services,including extended storage,transcription,AI insights and more.Steve McGovern,CEO,Dubber:"We are delighted to have delivered such a strong quarter,achieving outstanding growth in all of our key metrics. The company is very well positioned to continue to take advantage of the major shift towards cloud based and 'work from anywhere' communications we are seeing in all our geographies. Governments and businesses understand the need to act on the requirement to capture conversations and voice data across their entire business. Ever expanding requirements to record and store conversations for proactive compliance and dispute resolution,and,revenue,customer and personnel intelligence all continue to drive the need for voice data and intelligence at scale. We remain very positive as to Dubber's growth and leadership."Related Party ExpensesIn line with requirements of lodgement of the attached Appendix 4C,the Company advises that payments shown in Item 6.1 of the Appendix 4C are in relation to Executive and Non-Executive Director remuneration (including superannuation) and form part of the operating expenses for the March quarter.This ASX release has been approved for release to ASX by Steve McGovern,CEO & Managing Director.About Dubber:Dubber is unlocking the potential of voice data from any call or conversation. Dubber is the world's most scalable Unified Call Recording service and Voice Intelligence Cloud adopted as core network infrastructure by multiple global leading telecommunications carriers in North America,Europe,and Asia Pacific. Dubber allows service providers to offer call recording for compliance,business intelligence,sentiment analysis,AI and more on any phone. Dubber is a disruptive innovator in the multi-billion-dollar call recording industry,its Software as a Service offering removes the need for on-premise hardware,applications or costly and limited storage.Investors
