1 Recurring revenues are generated from ongoing service and maintenance fees

2 Before exceptional costs and share based payments

3. Total borrowings less cash excluding IFRS 16 adjustment for leased property and motor vehicles

Operating highlights

   --      H1 2019 results improved year-on-year due to: 

o Improved levels of new orders leading to slightly higher revenues

o Significantly improved gross margins due to lower hardware, labour, communication and installation costs

o Reduced overheads despite a GBP270k increase in non-cash amortisation and depreciation (net of IFRS16 impact) as a result of efficiency improvements implemented in FY2019

o Significantly improved cash generation from operations due to significant reduction in losses and strong working capital actions, despite GBP1.01m R&D tax credit cash not received in the period due to HMRC delays

   --      Continuation of new contract wins: 

o New contract awards with major clients By Miles, Altrad, and a number of other Fleet and Vehicle Leasing clients, all deployments commenced in H1 and continue into H2.

o Installed base continues to grow in Fleet from existing and new customers offset by Insurance reductions:

-- Approximately 240,000 connections (Sept 2018: 250,000 connections), a decrease of 3,000 connections (1%) in the six month period since last year end.

   --      Stronger H2 and FY2021 outlook: 

o Major automotive customer committed to a minimum of 45,000 units over next 12 months

o Ingenie deployment commenced in November

o Lexis Nexis expected to start deployment in January

o Strong level of orders, post period, from existing and new Fleet customers

o Additional significant efficiency savings implemented

Outlook

The Board is confident that the second half of the year will be sufficiently improved over the first half to end the year meeting full year market expectations of increased revenues and modest adjusted profit before tax.

Executive Chairman's Statement

Results

I am pleased to report Trakm8's results for the six months ended 30 September 2019.

Revenues increased by 0.3% in the period to GBP8.87m (H1 2018: GBP8.84m). There was a reduction of GBP0.05m in Insurance and Automotive revenues and an increase in Fleet and Optimisation revenues of GBP0.08m. Only one of the 4 new insurance customers deployed during the period and the recurring revenue decline from our major insurance customer was not quite offset by the growth in new device sales. Our major automotive customer did not require any further devices from us during the period, however they have made a commitment of 45,000 units over the next twelve months. The Board is encouraged that the decline in revenue has been arrested and the first two months of H2 are significantly ahead of last year.

Total recurring revenues decreased by 5% during the period to GBP4.89m (H1 2018: GBP5.17m), as a result of the decline in the revenue per unit in the insurance market and decline in install base of our largest insurance customer. Recurring revenues represent 55% of Group revenues (2018: 58%). There is an ongoing trend of lower service fees per unit for the same functionality. At the period end we had approximately 240,000 units (Sept 2018: 250,000 units) reporting to our servers, being a decrease of 4% over the last twelve months. This is a decrease of 3,000 units (1%) since 31 March 2019.

Despite the market continuing to be adversely effected by the current uncertainty over Brexit and the economy in general Fleet units installed have increased by 1,000 units to 77,000 (1%) since March 2019. This is due to improved level of performance from our Channel and Direct Fleet sales teams resulting in an increase in new orders especially in the mid-market.

Our largest insurance customer has continued to experience a decline in young driver policies and as a result the level of new policies written has been less than those not renewed or cancelled. By Miles, one of our newly secured customers has deployed a number of units but not sufficient to cover the decline elsewhere. In addition our major automotive customer has waited to start its marketing campaign into the current period. One major new insurance customer has now deployed in the current period and the other is expected to do so in January. Our volume automotive customer has committed to a minimum of 45,000 units over the current period and the first six months of FY2021. As a result, Insurance & Automotive connections reduced by 4,000 since March 2019, to 163,000 (-2%).

Gross profit margin has increased to 53% (2018: 43%), with cost of sales reducing by GBP0.82m to GBP4.17m (H1 2018 GBP5.00m), despite marginal increase in revenue. This is due to the vigorous actions taken over the past 12 months to introduce hardware with lower costs, reduce the direct labour costs and to reduce the cost of communications and installations. This trend is expected to continue as further efficiency actions are taken.

Total overhead costs, excluding exceptional costs reduced by GBP0.17m to GBP6.44m (H1 2018: GBP6.61m). Excluding a GBP0.27m increase (net of IFRS16 impact) in depreciation and amortisation to GBP1.32m (H1 2018: GBP1.05m), overheads reduced by GBP0.44m year on year. This is the result of the cost actions taken over the last 12 months. In addition to this GBP0.44m reduction in overheads the level of R&D expenditure capitalised has reduced by GBP0.21m. Exceptional costs in the period include GBP0.23m associated with a headcount reduction activity undertaken at period end. This is part of preparing the Company for improved profitability going forward.

Financial position

Net cash inflow from operating activities was GBP1.43m (H1 2018: outflow of GBP0.42m), this is despite the R&D tax credit receipts of GBP1.01m failing to be received before period end due to HMRC delays (H1 2018: GBP0.97m received in August 2018). This good result, despite the losses incurred, is as a consequence of strong working capital management including a GBP0.62m reduction in inventory.

Our net debt as at September 2019 excluding the impact of the IFRS16 lease recognition was GBP6.10m (H1 2018: GBP5.73m) (31.3.2019: GBP5.63m) including GBP0.69m of cash (H1 2018: GBP2.00m). In addition, the Group at 30 September 2019 held an undrawn credit facility of GBP0.15m at HSBC. With the changes in the Net Debt as result of IFRS 16, Net Debt is GBP8.42m.

Strategy

The Group has been following the strategy outlined in the 2019 Annual Report. Our focus is to provide ever more meaningful insights to our customers using the data generated by our installed devices and other connections so that they can run their operations more efficiently and safely.

Our primary strategy going forward is to return to growth of our business through more connections, increased device sales and higher service fees. The long awaited deployment, in volume, with our insurance and automotive customers has now commenced. The Fleet teams are delivering new contract wins significantly ahead of the previous year and the pipeline for new opportunities is strong.

Trakm8 has focused on delivering market leading technology and ensuring that the solutions are generating the best possible ROI's for our customers. We have reduced the levels of expenditure in R&D but believe we have appropriate levels of resource to continue to invest heavily to meet the demands of the market and customers. We will continue to own the majority of IP in our value chain.

Our third strategy has been to improve the efficiencies of our business in every possible way. We have been extremely successful in delivering the GBP2m reduction on all costs year-on-year promised last year. We have continued to focus on this and have implemented a further GBP1.5m of annualised cost reductions at the end of the period. We will continue to seek efficiencies as we go forward. The next phase of these efficiencies will be as a result of investment in new lower cost hardware devices and, provided volumes increase as expected, in improved manufacturing and test equipment.

 Notes To The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements 
 
 1. Basis of preparation 
 
 The Group's interim results for the 6 months to 30 September 2019 (prior 
  year 30 September 2018) were approved by the Board of Directors on 6 
  December 2019. 
 
 As permitted this Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with 
  UK AIM Rules for Companies and not in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim 
  Financial Reporting" and therefore is not fully in compliance with IFRS. 
 
 Trakm8 Holdings PLC ("Trakm8") is a public limited company incorporated 
  in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. Trakm8 is domiciled 
  in the United Kingdom and its ordinary shares are traded on AIM, the 
  market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc. 
 
 The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial 
  statement are the same as those set out in the Group's annual financial 
  statements for the year ended 31 March 2019, except for the adoption 
  of IFRS 16 (Leases) for the first time for the interim reporting period 
  commencing 1 April 2019. The Group adopted IFRS16 on a modified retrospective 
  basis, this is disclosed in note 13. The financial statements have been 
  prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain liabilities 
  and share based payment liabilities which are measured at fair value. 
 
 The interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by 
  Group's auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practice Board guidance on 
  'Review of Interim Financial Information' and do not include all of the 
  information required for full annual financial statements. 
 
 The financial information contained in this report is condensed and does 
  not constitute statutory accounts of the Group within the meaning of 
  Section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the 
  year ended 31 March 2019 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. 
  The audit report of those accounts was unqualified, did not draw attention 
  to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a statement under 
  Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
 Going concern 
 
 The consolidated interim financial statements are prepared on a going 
  concern basis. The directors report that, having reviewed current performance 
  and projections of its working capital and long term funding requirements, 
  including assessments against the covenants agreed with our bank and 
  downward sensitivity analysis, they are satisfied that the Group has 
  sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, 
  a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, 
  they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed 
  financial statements. 
 
 2. Risks and uncertainties 
 
 The Board has considered the principal risks and uncertainties for the 
  remaining half of the financial year and determined that the risk presented 
  in the 31 March 2019 Annual Report, described as follows, also remain 
  relevant to the rest of the financial year: Significant operational system 
  failure; Cyber-attack and data security; Brexit and a deteriorating economic 
  climate; Operating in a fast-moving technology industry where we will 
  always be at risk from new products; Adverse mobile network changes; 
  Attracting and maintaining high-quality employees; Access to long term 
  and working capital; Electronic supply chain under constraint. These 
  are detailed on pages 20 to 21 of the 2019 Annual Report, a copy of which 
  is available on the Group's website at www.trakm8.com. 
 
 
 3. Segmental Analysis 
 
 The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is identified as the Board. 
  It continued to define all the Group's trading under the single Integrated 
  Telematics Technology segment and therefore review the results of the 
  group as a whole. Consequently all of the Group's revenue, expenses, results, 
  assets and liabilities are in respect of one Integrated Telematics Technology 
  segment, Solutions. Solutions represents the sale of the Group's full 
  vehicle telematics and optimisation services, engineering services, professional 
  services and mapping solutions to customers.

 The acquisition costs incurred in 2020 and 2019 relate to non-underlying 
  charges under two separate agreements linked to the acquisition in 2017. 
  The costs incurred are directly linked to the acquisition and not as part 
  of the underlying business. One agreement terminated on 31 July 2019, 
  and the second agreement terminated on 31 March 2019. 
 
  The integration and restructuring costs in the current year relate to 
  an ongoing project to streamline and rationalise the operations of the 
  business. 
  The New product component refit costs relate to re-visit and material 
  costs that have been incurred as we complete the project to remedy the 
  issues that arose and were fixed in the previous financial year relating 
  to significant component and software issues on a recently launched product. 
 
  Detailed explanation of prior year exceptional costs are detailed on 
  page 58 of the 2019 Annual Report, a copy of which is available on the

 13. IFRS 16 Leases 
 
 Previously leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as 
  either finance or operating leases under IAS 17. Payments made under 
  operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were 
  charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of 
  the lease. 
 
 Under IFRS 16 which the Group has adopted effective for the period starting 
  1 April 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding 
  liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use 
  by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and 
  the finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit and loss over 
  the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest 
  on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use 
  asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and 
  the lease term on a straight-line basis. 
 
 The Group has applied IFRS 16 on a modified retrospective basis with 
  practical expedients from the date of initial application (1 April 2019). 
 
 In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following 
  practical expedients permitted by the standard: 
 -- The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably 
  similar characteristics. 
  -- The accounting for short term operating leases under IAS 17, for 
  leases with a remaining term of less than twelve months as at the initial 
  application date. 
  -- The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract 
  contains options to extend or terminate the lease. 
  -- The application of IFRS 16 to only those operating leases accounted 
  for under IAS 17 as at the initial application date. 
 Upon transition, a lease liability has been recognised based on future 
  lease payments discounted at an appropriate borrowing rate. Additionally, 
  a right of use asset has been recognised along with a related lease liability. 
  Within the income statement, the operating lease charge (GBP219,000) 
  has been replaced by depreciation (GBP209,000) and interest expense (GBP29,000). 
  This has resulted in a decrease in administrative expenses and an increase 
  in finance costs.
