Operational Overview

   --      H1 2022 results: 

o Revenues maintained despite challenging macroeconomic conditions

o Profit impacted by:

-- Lower software sales compared to prior period

-- Higher material costs

-- Exceptional costs from our strategic refocus and cost reduction programme

o Improved cash generation from operations despite losses

   --      Continuation of new contract wins: 

o New telematics contract awards with Insurance customers

o Approximately 299,000 connections (September 2021: 255,000 connections), an increase of 44,000 connections (17%) in the last 12 months

   --      H2 and FY2024 outlook: 

o Significant reduction in overhead costs in line with the Company's trading and strategy update announced on 14 September 2022

o Benefit of higher connected base increasing recurring service fee income

o Several new Insurance customers launching during H2 but mainly impacting revenues in FY2024 and beyond

o Large software contract renewal before the financial year end

Outlook

The Board is confident that the improved trading as a result of reduced costs, increased service fees and software contract license sales will ensure the Group meets current market expectations for revenues and adjusted profit.

Executive Chairman's Statement

I report Trakm8's results for the six months ended 30 September 2022.

Revenues

The first half of the financial year was in line with recent Company guidance. Revenues for the six months ended 30 September 2022 were similar to the corresponding period in the previous year at GBP9.01m.

There was a 26% increase in Insurance and Automotive revenues to GBP4.18m and a reduction of 15% in Fleet and Optimisation revenues to GBP4.83m

During the period, unit sales increased by 61% to 103,000, with Insurance unit sales increasing by 118% to 90,000 and Fleet unit sales decreasing by 9% to 8,000.

In addition, during the period, connections increased by 13% to 299,000 (31.3.2022: 264,000). Insurance & Automotive connections increased 16% to 225,000 (31.3.22: 193,000). With low attrition experienced, Fleet connections increased by 4% to 74,000 (31.3.22: 71,000).

Recurring revenues in the period increased over the previous year by 5% to GBP5.08m and represent 56% of Group revenues. In addition, the Group generated GBP0.17m of software revenues (H1 2020: GBP0.98m), which represented 2% of Group revenues. In line with the Company's announcement on 14 September 2022, the timing of contract renewals has resulted in the bulk of this year's software sales taking place in H2.

Costs

The Group has encountered a number of challenges as a result of the availability of production components during the period. Notwithstanding this, with our integrated engineering and manufacturing teams we have maintained supplies to customers without significant interruptions. The Board expects that supply chain constraints will significantly ease going forward. However, in order to achieve customer deliveries on time, considerable exceptional hardware costs of circa GBP0.21m were incurred by the Group during the period.

The Group's gross profit margin has reduced to 58% (2021: 65%). This is due to the higher hardware revenues as a percentage of sales and the reduction in software sales during the period.

Total overhead costs, excluding exceptional costs, increased by GBP0.84m to GBP6.10m (H1 2021: GBP5.26m). This is the result of reduced furlough support of GBP0.39m, a GBP0.28m increase in real estate and IT costs and a GBP0.07m increase in non-payroll sales & marketing spend. Underlying payroll costs further reduced overall by GBP0.01m despite inflationary pressures.

Exceptional costs increased during the period to GBP1.32m. This reflects GBP0.90m of cost associated with the strategic refocus, GBP0.21m in additional costs to mitigate the impact of post Covid-19 electronic component supply chain challenges and GBP0.21m of other costs.

Towards the end of the period, Trakm8 implemented a very substantial reduction in headcount and overhead costs, which is expected to result in a minimum of GBP2.4m annualised reduction in operating costs. This is associated with the concentration on our more successful markets and products. This action is largely now complete from which the trading performance should benefit going forward.

Results

The Group generated an adjusted loss of GBP1.08m (2021: profit GBP0.44m), loss before tax of GBP2.41m (2021: profit GBP0.05m) and loss after tax of GBP1.77m (2021: GBP0.27m).

Financial position

Cash generation from operating activities was GBP1.44m (H1 2021: GBP0.87m). As at 30 September 2022, the Group had net bank debt, excluding the Convertible Loan Note and the impact of the IFRS16 lease liability, of GBP4.67m (GBP7.65m including the Convertible Loan Note and IFRS 16 lease liability) which is GBP0.73m less than as at 31 March 2022. As at 30 September 2022, the Group had GBP1.17m of cash on hand and a further GBP0.50m of available funds under an overdraft facility. In September 2022, the Group completed a funding round by the issue of GBP1.58m of Convertible Loan Notes.

The overall cash inflow for the period was GBP0.29m (H1 2021: outflow of GBP1.48m).

Post period end, the Group completed the HMRC repayment schedule ahead of time, thus eliminating the outstanding liability of GBP0.9m as at 31 March 2022.

Strategy and Outlook

The Group has been following the strategy outlined in the Group's 2022 Annual Report and as subsequently modified by the Group's trading update on 14 September 2022. Our focus is to provide ever more meaningful insights to our customers using the data generated by our installed devices and other connections in order to ensure that they can run their operations more efficiently and safely. We have concentrated our focus on our most successful business revenue streams.

Our primary strategy going forward is the growth of our business through more connections, increased device sales and higher service fees. Due to the high level of new contract wins across the business and reduced rates of attrition in Fleet, the number of connections has increased overall by 17.2% in the past 12 months and by 13.2% in past six months. The number of devices sold by the Group has increased by 61% to 103,000 (H1 2021: 64,000). Our focus going forward will be on the Insurance and Automotive space, and to build our connected vehicle base along with Enterprise Fleet customers.

Trakm8 has focused on delivering market leading technology and ensuring that the solutions are generating the best possible ROIs for our customers. To this point, we have maintained the levels of expenditure on R&D. We continue to own the majority of IP in our value chain. We have been building out greater functionality of existing solutions rather than a wider range and have moved out of the initial development phase of the Insight platform into one of maturity. We have updated all our devices to utilise the latest technology, accelerated by the supply constraints of previous components. As a result, going forward we will meet our objectives of remaining a leading-edge technology Company but at a substantially lower investment cost.

We are also striving to improve the efficiencies of our business in every possible way. We have sought to minimise the impact of salary inflation and higher marketing costs and, towards the end of the period end, undertaken a very significant reduction in overhead costs as we focus our activities on our narrower objectives. This should benefit the Group in the second half of this year and on into future years.

The Group is pleased that it will have several new Insurance customers launching during the second half of this financial year, albeit the financial impact of these will mainly occur in FY2024 and beyond. In addition, the Board is hopeful of a successful outcome to a large software contract renewal scheduled before the financial year end.

Unaudited management accounts for October and November show a substantial improvement in profitability as a result of the actions taken by the Group. We expect this to continue through the remainder of this and next year.

  on the historical cost basis except for certain liabilities and share based 
  payment liabilities which are measured at fair value.

  in preparing the condensed financial statements.

 The integration and restructuring costs in the current year relate to the Group's 
  recent decision to implement a change in strategy to focus on the Insurance, 
  Automotive and Optimisation sectors. These costs include the reduction of headcount 
  in engineering, sales, marketing and associated support functions and will 
  aid profitability in the year ending 31 March 2024. 
 
  The Group incurred exceptional costs in the current and prior financial year 
  relating to the Covid-19 pandemic. 
  These costs include the increased cost of temporarily buying raw materials 
  from auxiliary markets to ensure 
  continuity of supply of key components which were in constraint due to supply 
  chain issues caused by the 
  pandemic. In the prior year, these costs include the costs of employees during 
  periods of furlough. 
 
  Furlough grant income relates to other income received from the Coronavirus 
  Job Retention Scheme for employees furloughed because of Covid-19. 
 
  Detailed explanation of prior year exceptional costs are detailed on page 
  63 of the 2022 Annual Report, a copy of which is available on the Group's website
