Interim Results
Immotion Group plc (AIM:IMMO), the immersive entertainment
group, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the
six months to 30 June 2022 and an update on trading based on
unaudited management estimates.
Highlights
-- H1 2022 revenue from continuing operations showing a 91%
increase to GBP4.4m (H1 2021: GBP2.3m; H2 2021 GBP4.1m)
-- H1 2022 EBITDA from continuing operations rose 150% to
GBP0.5m (H1 2021: GBP0.2m, which included GBP0.3m of income from
COVID government grants)
-- Entry into zoo market with three partner site openings:
Milwaukee County Zoo and Pittsburgh Zoo (July) and Chester Zoo
(August)
-- In principle agreement reached (subject to contract) to sell
Uvisan for estimated cash consideration of GBP100k*
-- In principle agreement for GBP250k third party investment for
the Home Based Entertainment (HBE) business in exchange for 51%
ownership of this business*
*both deals are expected to complete within next few weeks.
Further detailed announcements will be made at that time.
Note: Uvisan and HBE now classed as discontinued operations and
reported as such for H1. Continuing operations consist of the
Location Based Entertainment (LBE) business along with its direct
costs and Group overheads.
Current Trading Update
We expect revenue from continuing operations in Q3 to be
approximately GBP3.4m and adjusted EBITDA of approximately GBP0.7m,
resulting in total revenue for the 9 months ended 30 September 2022
of approximately GBP7.8m and EBITDA of GBP1.2m from continuing
operations.
Our first three zoo installations featuring our new 'Gorilla
Trek' offering - Milwaukee County Zoo, Pittsburgh Zoo and Chester
Zoo - launched in July and August 2022. These have been well
received by Partners and guests alike and we have learnt a lot from
these early installations and will use the knowledge gained to
further develop and hone our offering.
The second half of 2022, as we expected, started very strongly
with excellent trading across the estate in the summer months of
July and August. We will of course see the normal seasonal
slow-down from September, as school holidays have ended in both the
USA and UK.
Agreement has been reached, subject to contract, for the
disposal of the Uvisan business for cash consideration of circa
GBP100,000, and to raise GBP250,000 in new funding for the HBE
business, in exchange for 51% ownership of this business. Full
details of the proposed transactions will be announced when the
deals complete, which we expect to be within the next few
weeks.
Chairman's Statement
With revenue of GBP4.4m for the first half of 2022, almost
double the same period last year (and exceeding that of our
seasonally stronger H2 last year) the strength of our core LBE
business is being demonstrated clearly and I am excited by its
growth prospects.
The decision to focus all our efforts on LBE is delivering
results and with the disposal of Uvisan and the spin out of HBE now
agreed in principle we can, as we move through the remainder of H2,
focus our planning and resources on accelerating growth of our core
LBE partner estate.
We believe that considerable growth opportunities lie ahead of
us in both the aquarium sector, where we are now a well-established
player, and in the zoo market where we have taken our initial steps
in what should be an even larger market.
Our first three 'Gorilla Trek' zoo installations were completed
in July and August 2022, all being 'takeovers' of buildings (or
part buildings) of differing sizes. These have been well received
by Partners and guests alike. We have learned a lot from our
initial entry into this market and we are further developing our
offering to be able to accelerate growth in this exciting market.
This is discussed in more detail in the Chief Executive's review
below.
The LBE business has enjoyed a very strong Q3 with revenue
expected to be circa GBP3.4m compared to GBP2.3m for the same
period last year, a 48% increase. We anticipate EBITDA for
continuing operations in Q3 to be circa GBP0.7m, taking the year to
date to around GBP1.2m.
With strong year to date trading, a renewed focus on our core
business and plenty of opportunity in our established and new
offerings, we look forward with confidence.

Chief Executive's Review
We are delighted with the performance of the business in H1,
delivering GBP4.4m of revenue from continuing operations (H1 2021:
GBP2.3m). H1 2022 revenue also exceeded that of H2 2021, which is
traditionally our stronger half of the year.
Unaudited gross profit from continuing operations was GBP2.0m
(being total revenue less partner share and other direct costs of
sales, including rent and payroll for our ImmotionVR sites). This
is double the same period in 2021, with margins rising to 46% from
44% in H1 2021. EBITDA from continuing operations in the period was
GBP0.5m (H1 2021: GBP0.2m, which was inclusive of GBP0.3m of COVID
government grants).
Total administrative expenses (excluding depreciation,
amortisation, share based payments and one-off items) of continuing
operations were GBP1.6m (H1 2021: GBP1.2m). Whilst our operating
costs are not immune from inflationary pressures, and we have made
a small number of new hires as part of our growth planning, we
expect operating costs to remain fairly stable and the operational
gearing of the business to be demonstrated as revenues grow with
the expansion of our estate.
The loss before tax from continuing operations narrowed to
GBP0.3m (H1 2021: GBP1.1m loss). The H1 2022 result is net of
depreciation and amortisation of GBP0.7m (2021: GBP1.0m). The
reduction in this charge reflects the prudent approach we have
taken historically to depreciation of all plant and equipment, much
of which, whilst still in use, has already been fully
depreciated.
With the benefit of several years of operating experience now
under our belt, we are confident that the actual useful life of our
key hardware such as motion platforms is comfortably in excess of
the three years over which we have been depreciating it in full.
Whilst this cautious approach has much to commend it, we believe on
reflection that this has tended to provide an overly pessimistic
picture of our trading results at EBIT level and as such we have
changed the basis of the VR cinema pod depreciation to a seven-year
useful life.
This change is based on a combination of historical data and
hardware testing and has been applied to relevant assets on hand at
or acquired after 1 January 2022. Prior periods have not been
restated in respect of this policy change.
During H1, when it became clear that further lockdowns could be
taking place in China and that global shipping conditions, though
improving, could deteriorate again, we invested further in our
stock of motion platforms and headsets. We currently hold 136
motion platform pod seats in stock ready to be deployed.
Our estate has grown from 364 headsets (across 48 sites) at the
beginning of the year to 414 headsets (across 50 sites) as 30 June
2022. As at today's date the Group has 476 headsets (across 52
sites). This increase in seats has been driven both by an increase
in the number of seats at established sites such as Shark Reef
Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, OdySea Aquarium and SEA LIFE London (32
seats in aggregate); and new installations, predominantly the 70
headsets in aggregate installed across our first three zoo partner
sites in July and August 2022. With known install opportunities for
the remainder of the year, we remain confident of exceeding 500
installed headsets by year end.
Our portfolio as at 30 September 2022 is presented in the table
below.

We have learned a lot from our initial entry into the zoo market
and it is apparent that in order to maximise the speed of roll-out
to a large number of high traffic sites (many of which have no
surplus indoor space) we need a standardised 'drop-in'
pre-fabricated solution.
This should be capable of being deployed outdoors, balancing the
need for ease of installation with capacity to serve large volumes
of customers, whilst delivering attractive returns for Immotion and
its partners.
With our new solution at an advanced stage of development we are
looking to make at least one installation of this format in this
calendar year and data from this installation will help drive our
accelerated roll-out plan for zoos in 2023 and beyond. We have in
the meantime been building interest with zoos in this product and
the response has been encouraging.
We will be exhibiting at a number of key industry events in H2
2022 to further stimulate demand in both the aquarium and zoo
markets.
Discontinued operations
Uvisan and HBE have been classed as discontinued operations for
the period and historic comparables restated on that basis. In the
period, the aggregate revenue from discontinued operations was
GBP0.4m (H1 2021: GBP0.4m) with an operating loss of GBP47k (H1
2021: GBP0.2m). Aggregate operating cash outflow was GBP0.2m (H1
2021: GBP0.4m outflow).
We took the decision to dispose of or spin out our HBE division
in the early part of 2022 in order to focus our time and resources
on our core LBE business. We still believe that the HBE business
has potential and we have had some initial success in trials with a
major shopping channel and we are seeing other B2B
opportunities.
However, we do not want to fund this business ourselves going
forward and so have agreed (subject to contract) to raise GBP250K
in exchange for a 51% equity stake in this business in order to
provide this funding. Immotion will have board representation but
day-to-day management will fall to the new partner.
The decision to retain a meaningful stake in this business
allows the Group to participate in any upside whilst removing the
cash and management requirements, allowing us to focus our efforts
on the LBE division.
Whilst Uvisan has longer-term potential to scale, it does
require ongoing investment in stock and it is still establishing
its distributor base. As we seek to focus all our resources on our
LBE business, we have agreed to sell this business, subject to
contract, for circa GBP100k in cash and will have an option to
subscribe for 15% of the equity of the business in the event of a
sale or stock market listing.
Further information will be provided upon completion of both
transactions.
Outlook
Having recorded a strong H1 and record Q3 the directors are
confident as to the outlook for the full year for the continuing
operations. Whilst we are cognisant of the wider economic picture
and are not naive enough to believe our consumers will be immune
from the cost-of-living crisis, we continue to believe that there
are substantial untapped growth opportunities in front of us in
both the aquarium and zoo sectors on a global basis.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the six months ended 30 June 2022
1 Corporate information
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for
the period ended 30 June 2022 were authorised for issue in
accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 September 2022.
Immotion Group plc ("the Company") is a Public Limited Company
quoted on AIM, incorporated in England and Wales. The interim
consolidated financial statements do not comprise statutory
accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act
2006.
2 Statement of accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for
the six months ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance
with the UK-adopted International Accounting Standard 34 Interim
Financial Reporting.
The entities consolidated in the interim financial statements of
the Group for the six months to 30 June 2022 comprise the Company
and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group").
The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all
the information and disclosures required in the annual financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's
annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2021.
The directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the
interim consolidated financial statements, it is appropriate to
adopt a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and
measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union.
In reaching this conclusion, the directors considered the
financial position of the Group and prepared forecasts and
projections for the next 12 months, taking into account reasonably
possible changes in trading performance and capital expenditure
requirements .
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
would result from the going concern basis of preparation being
inappropriate.
2.2 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
these interim statements are consistent with those applied in the
preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2021 other than:
(i) the Group has adopted amended financial standards effective
as of 1 January 2022. None of the amendments adopted on 1 January
2022 have had a material impact on the interim statements of the
Group; and
(ii) the Group has changed its depreciation policy in respect of
certain VR hardware and VR content to seven years on a
straight-line basis.
The preparation of these consolidated half year financial
statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.
Actual results may differ from these estimates in preparing these
consolidated half year financial statements.
Discontinued operations and assets held for sale
The directors consider it probable that the sale of the Uvisan
and Home Based Entertainment (HBE) businesses and net assets will
be completed shortly. The Uvisan and HBE results have been
separated from those of continuing operations and are shown as
discontinued operations within the consolidated income statement.
Comparative periods within the consolidated income statement have
been restated accordingly. In accordance with IFRS 5, the Uvisan
and HBE assets held for sale are valued at the lower of book value
and fair value less selling costs. Further information on
discontinued operations is contained in note 4.
Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill - recoverable
amounts are based on value in use calculations using management's
best estimate of future performance. On the basis of the forecast
cash flows prepared it is concluded
that no impairment of intangible assets and goodwill is
required.
3 Segmental information
The Group's primary reporting format for segmental information
is business segments which reflect the management reporting
structure in the Group. The information for discontinued segments
is aggregated and shown as a separate segment.
