The revenue per business user is also a key metric for Myob. The average revenue per SME user (also called ARPU) increased by 2% to $430.

Tim Reed, the CEO of Myob, said: “The continued momentum in online subscriber growth, including both newly formed SMEs and migrations from our non-paying subscriber base, supports our decision to accelerate investment in the MYOB platform,”

Outlook

For the rest of Myob’s 2018 financial year the accounting software company is predicting high single digit revenue growth and higher EBITDA margins in the second half than the first.
