Chairman's Report
1Spatial has delivered another year of solid growth, securing
landmark new customers across our key geographies, many of which
have the potential for further expansion. We have increased
investment in the business, adding to our team and product and
thereby enhancing the ability of the business to scale through the
sale of repeatable business applications and software
solutions.
Despite the current macro environment, digital transformation
and government investment initiatives continue at pace and are
driving a substantial need for data management tools, particularly
those capable of managing complex location data. 1Spatial is
increasingly being chosen as the provider for these projects
sitting at the heart of this rapidly increasing demand.
Our key financial objectives for the year were to grow recurring
revenues, while generating funds to be reinvested into the
business. We are making meaningful progress against our strategic
priorities and I am delighted to report that we achieved
double-digit revenue and profit growth this year. Our focus on
growing recurring revenue can be seen in the increasing proportion
of recurring revenues we are now generating, which now account for
approximately 50% of total revenue. The Group has successfully
managed inflationary pressures, achieving adjusted EBITDA growth,
resulting in our second year of operating profit and profit before
tax.
Operational successes
We have won several new landmark customers across all regions,
with particular success in the UK and the US, some of which provide
us with secure long-term levels of annual recurring revenue ('ARR')
and excellent references and opportunities to increase revenues
within these accounts.
People
During FY 2023, we invested in the expansion of our senior
leadership team to ensure we have the depth of management to
deliver our growth strategy and have been encouraged by the
immediate positive impacts the new team members have made. We were
delighted to welcome Stuart Ritchie to the Board as CFO in December
2022; he will provide great financial leadership to the business
alongside Claire and the team, as we seek to capture the
considerable opportunity ahead of us. On behalf of the Board, I
would like to thank Andrew Fabian for the role he has played as CFO
in seeing 1Spatial safely into its next stage of growth, providing
the business with a solid financial platform to support its
evolving SaaS business model.
Environmental, Social and Governance ('ESG')
Like many businesses, ESG is very important to 1Spatial as we
strive to make the world safer, smarter and more sustainable for
the future. This year, we launched our ESG strategy and established
an ESG steering committee. During the coming year, we also plan to
undertake a detailed carbon assessment, starting with our UK
operations, further details of which are set out in the Annual
Report.
Summary and outlook
This year 1Spatial has become a more robust business with an
increasing ability to capture the increasing demand for accurate
and usable location data. We are successfully delivering against
our three-year growth plan, improving profits and cash generation,
whilst continuing to invest in our platform which will act as a
catalyst for future expansion.
Looking ahead, we continue to see significant opportunities from
the US, from our expanding partner network and from our investment
in our market-leading cloud platform. Through the launch of our
cloud platform, we are adding a new layer of potential growth,
targeting niche areas of the location market where we have
identified significant demand and low levels of competition, for
example our automated solution for the creation of traffic
management plans ('TMPA').
We enter the new financial year in a strong position and we
believe the investments made over the past year in our people and
technology position us well to take advantage of the huge
opportunity that is ahead. With a strong sales backlog and
increased levels of recurring revenue, I am confident the Group's
success over the past 12 months is set to continue.
Andy Roberts
Non-Executive Chairman
CEO Review
This has been another year of progress for 1Spatial achieving
growth despite a difficult economic backdrop, delivering across our
strategic growth pillars of Innovation, Customer Relationships and
Smart Partnerships.
Resilient financial performance
The Group achieved double-digit revenue growth in the year, with
an increasing proportion of recurring revenues, which now account
for approximately 50% of total revenue. Within that, high margin
software term licence revenue increased by 79% to over GBP5
million.
Our rules engine, 1Integrate, and cloud portal, 1Data Gateway,
are recognised both by our customers and a growing number of
influential partners, as powerful tools to ensure good quality data
and trust when sharing data. Through our offering, we help over
1,000 customers, spanning key sectors such as government, utilities
and transportation, make better business decisions and move towards
a smarter world, through improved accuracy and sharing of location
data.
We are global leaders in providing Location Master Data
Management and this proposition is at the intersection of two
global growing markets. Firstly, the global geographic information
system ('GIS') market size reached US$ 10.1 billion in 2021.
Looking forward, the IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$
21.1 billion by 2027, a CAGR of 13.1% during 2022-2027. Similarly,
the global master data management market was valued at US$16.68
billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to US$ 54 billion by 2030
at a CAGR of 15.8% during the forecast period according to Polaris
Market Research.
US delivering strong growth
The US has been key to the Group's expansion, being the most
significant contributor of recurring revenue with growth of 45% in
annualised recurring revenue at constant currency. During the year,
we successfully sold and implemented 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway
in several clients, both new and expanding on existing contracts,
building our annual recurring revenue from our repeatable solutions
such as Next Generation 9-1-1.
US legislation requires all states to upgrade their emergency
services and public safety systems. Building digital platforms and
incorporating the use of location data to support Next Generation
('NG') 9-1-1 services and ensure a modern and safe emergency
response system. Our NG-9-1-1 solution, now being implemented in
eight US states, ensures that emergency services are using
validated, integrated and up-to-date data and ultimately that the
teams on the ground can respond to incidents more quickly.
The launch of our cloud platform in January 2023 also means we
now offer a "light version" NG9-1-1 SaaS solution aimed at the
counties and cities within each state, significantly increasing our
addressable opportunity. We continue to invest in this solution and
the trials are progressing as planned.
There is also sizeable opportunity for growth within each state
by launching additional solutions, including Highway Performance
Monitoring Systems ('HPMS') and Conflation. HPMS offers US highway
agencies the ability to fully comply with reporting requirements on
the use of the routes within their jurisdiction. The Conflation
solution enables the aggregation of large quantities of data, the
automatic selection of the best quality data points and the
generation of an accurate, reliable whole data set. We have already
seen success in California where we have doubled the initial annual
term licence revenue through the upsell of additional
solutions.
This all contributes to a high-margin medium-term opportunity,
based around our own IP and channels to market that can transform
the economics of our US operation. Further out we have the
opportunity for expansion into Canada and Latin America.
Europe
In FY 2022, Europe was the most significant geographical
component at a revenue level. However, year- on-year growth of 1%
in FY 2023 led to this segment dropping behind the UK in FY 2023.
Europe experienced some delays in FY 2023 transitioning its large
customer base away from perpetual licences, but we are encouraged
by the year-on-year increase of 15% in Europe's Annual Recurring
Revenue ('ARR') as well as a significant increase in term licence
revenue compared to last year. On 1 February 2023, we appointed a
highly experienced European Sales Director to lead this transition
and to focus our teams on sales of proprietary product.
UK
In the UK, we have delivered top and bottom-line growth through
new multi-year contracts across different sectors. We signed our
first contract with HS2, to build a data validation gateway, which
has significant potential for further expansion. The gateway
solution will enable HS2 to validate the quality, conformance and
design of construction-related data submitted by their supply
chain, which in turn will contribute to the efficiency and
effective information delivery on Europe's largest infrastructure
project.
We are pleased that the first phase of the NUAR Project
('National Underground Asset Register') (also known as the MVP
stage), has now been completed and launched by government on 5
April 2023. This first phase of NUAR contains data from public and
private sector organisations which own pipes and cables in North
East England, Wales and London including all of the major energy
and water providers.
Successes such as these in the UK, and the considerable size of
our sales pipeline, give us the confidence to continue to invest in
the business. We have the right structure to deliver on the growing
opportunity as we move into the final year of our three-year growth
plan.
Strategic review
We are building our highly scalable business on three pillars:
Innovation, Customer Relationships and Smart Partnerships and I am
proud to report considerable progress against all three throughout
the year.
Innovation
Innovation lies at the heart of 1Spatial and during the year we
invested in our market-leading platform to ensure our patented
software remains at the forefront of the expanding industry. Our
software can handle huge volumes of complex data allowing our
customers not only to ensure accuracy and security but also save
significant amounts of time and money, giving them the ability to
solve complex challenges in the management of their spatial and
non-spatial data.
The 1Spatial Platform for Location Master Data Management can be
split into two key areas, one of which is Data Management Solutions
(managing data to ensure it is correct, consistent and compliant)
which we continued to invest in throughout the year, including in
our patented 1Integrate rules engine and our cloud-enabled portal
1Data Gateway, to improve the user experience. This innovation in
both 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway facilitated further growth and
accessibility of our solutions and the development team continue to
assess the products against both customer and market needs.
The second key area is Business Applications where we have
expanded our addressable market opportunity through the launch of
new offerings and cloud-based versions of some core solutions,
making our technology available to mid-tier organisations.
We provide two types of business applications to meet our
customers' needs. Applications can either plug directly into the
1Spatial Platform or alternatively can plug into the 1Spatial
Platform whilst also utilising the benefits of the Esri
technology.
Applications plugged directly into the 1Spatial Platform
-- Specific Business Applications - term licences (cloud enabled)
We have targeted applications such as those for NG9-1-1 which
are cloud enabled and can reside within a customer's own
infrastructure, within their own private cloud or 1Spatial can
offer a hosted solution.
-- Specific Business Applications - SaaS applications
This year, we continued the development of our Traffic
Management Plan Automation ('TMPA') solution for production of
traffic management within minutes. This is a UK application and is
currently undergoing trials by selected customers.
-- Validation Applications (Validation as a Service - VaaS)
These applications validate data to a pre-defined set of rules
and return a report and visual map-based representation of the
errors. The first of these applications is NG9-1-1 which we have
now launched and is undergoing trials. We have also identified a
number of other VaaS solutions across our territories which we will
be looking to trial during H2 of FY24.
Both the Specific Business Applications and Validation
Applications provide the Group with potential exciting new "go to"
market models, lowering the price point for new customers onto the
platform, making our technology available to mid-tier
organisations.
-- Launch of 1Spatial cloud platform
During the year, we finalised the majority of the development on
the 1Spatial cloud platform which will allow us to sell the cloud
solutions noted above. The multi-tenancy SaaS platform will be more
cost effective for 1Spatial as we will be managing fewer
deployments and the elastic nature of the platform architecture is
more cost efficient.
Applications using the benefits of Esri technology
To meet our customers' needs we also invested in our Esri based
business applications, such as 1Water and 1Telecomms which manage
water and telecom networks respectively. Whilst these applications
are being sold to new customers they are also necessary to
facilitate the migration from the Group's legacy Elyx platform to
Esri-supported solutions.
Customer relationships
We continued to strengthen our relationships with existing
customers throughout the year and secured landmark new customer
wins across all territories, with particular growth in the UK and
US, including high-profile national-level digital transformation
initiatives. This has demonstrated 1Spatial's increasing ability to
secure larger contracts across key geographies and to design,
deliver and implement large-scale critical systems. We typically
expand our customer relationships over time, as we identify
additional areas in which our software and expertise can support
our customers.
This year we undertook a customer satisfaction survey with our
global key accounts and, although we recognise there are areas to
address, compared to the 40+ industry average of B2B software and
SaaS organisations, we are satisfied with the results of an overall
8.1 Net Promoter Score. (Source: Retently B2B sample of 10,000 B2B
organisations)
The success of our customer focus, combined with ongoing
transition to term licencing, can be seen in the 26% growth in
Annualised Recurring Revenue driven both by new customer wins and
expansion of existing customer accounts.
Land and expand
Key new customer wins include:
-- High Speed Two (HS2) - supporting the UK's new high speed
rail network to build a data validation gateway (GBP0.9m over two
years with the potential for expansion for a further two
years).
-- Major multi-year contract with a leading European aerospace
agency - for s oftware licenses, including 1Telecomms and
1Integrate, for the implementation and subsequent annual recurring
software and managed services. The total value of the contract over
five years is approximately EUR3 million .
-- Five year contract with University of Maryland CATT Labs -
with an initial value of around US$0.6 million, which will be
recognised over the five-year period, adding to the Group's annual
recurring revenue.
-- Contract with the state of New York - for various
proof-of-concept projects using 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway.
-- Seven year contract with the state of Arkansas - for NG9-1-1,
for US$1.2 million over the period and now the eighth US state to
select the solution.
-- Contract with the Eastern Transportation Coalition, a
partnership of 18 US east coast states and Washington DC, which has
secured its first contract through the marketplace, for US$400k
with Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
-- Contract with the state of Indiana - for various
proof-of-concept projects using 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway.
-- Contract with Highlander Tek in the USA for licence fees for
1Integrate and 1Data Gateway, for US$90k, a geospatial platform
that provides delivery-specific location information to streamline
the shipping process from quote to delivery to payment.
These new clients provide secure long-term levels of ARR and
excellent references and opportunities to increase revenues within
these accounts.
Customer expansion contracts in the period, included:
-- Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs ('Defra')
to support the Land Management System, operated by Defra's Rural
Payments Agency ('RPA'), in partnership with Version 1 - GBP1.2
million over five years.
-- Another contract win with Defra and RPA to support its field
collection system - GBP0.5 million (GBP0.4 million licence over two
years).
-- Multi-year framework agreement with Land and Property
Services in Northern Ireland in partnership with Version 1, to
support the Department of Finance's ongoing programme of Digital
Transformation.
-- Managed service for a major utility organisation in France in
support of the deployment of 1Water - EUR0.3 million.
-- US$1.4 million expansion contract with the state of
California over four years - secured in partnership with Rizing
(now Wipro), a global SAP partner. The state of California is an
existing client of 1Spatial, having already selected 1Spatial's
Next Generation 9-1-1 solution.
-- Additional services and licences for Google Real Estate and
Workplace Services - US$0.9 million (US$0.3 million licence).
-- In France, 32 existing customers have completed or commenced
migration from the Group's legacy Elyx platform to Esri-supported
solutions, including 1Water.
Smart partnerships
Partnerships have played a critical role in enabling us to
secure new customers in the year, demonstrating the credibility of
these businesses.
Key focus areas have been to identify and extend our
relationships with large global corporates, where location data
management forms part of a larger customer bid, and to extend our
technology partnerships with Esri and other geospatial vendors such
as Hexagon Geospatial.
Key partnership highlights include the signing of a teaming
agreement (delivery partnership) with CGI Inc., one of the world's
largest independent IT and business consulting services firms, to
be a strategic delivery partner on a five-year contract with the
Home Office. We also started working in partnership with ATOS, a
global leader in digital transformation and Rizing (now part of
Wipro), a global SAP partner. We secured a four-year contract with
the California Department of Transportation ('Caltrans') which was
won in conjunction with Rizing and is an indication that our
strategic growth plan in the US continues to bear fruit.
Large global corporates
We are increasingly being selected as the data integrity
provider within a consortium, cleansing the data before passing it
back through wider systems. The depth of our data domain expertise
and the enterprise grade of our software means we are one of the
few technology partners able to work on the scale that our partners
need.
New partners we have commenced work with this year include
Atkins, Qinetiq and Landmark. We also strengthened our longstanding
partnership with both Version1 and Ordnance Survey.
Technology partnership - Esri
Our long-term partnership with Esri is a key differentiator for
us in many markets and provides a major opportunity as we build our
own IP solutions. Esri is the global market leader in GIS with a
network of over 2,700 partners around the world. We are engaging
with our European contacts to showcase our Utility Network
Migration Capabilities to different geographies across Europe.
Corporate activity
We will continue to identify potential strategic and bolt-on
acquisitions to complement our organic growth.
People
The success of our business is a tribute to our employees'
commitment and knowledge. We continue to invest in our people,
providing them with the tools and training to support and allow
them to realise their potential. The success of this is evidenced
through our selection as one of the top 100 organisations featured
on the 2023 UK's Most Loved Workplace(R) list backed by Best
Practice Institute ('BPI') research and analysis. This was based on
our scores on their Love of Workplace Index(TM), which surveys
employees on employee satisfaction and sentiment, including the
level of respect, collaboration, support, and sense of belonging
they feel inside the Company.
We continue to roll out mental health awareness training,
internal events and initiatives to encourage staff to take time out
from their working day and have appointed mental health first
aiders. We kicked off our annual wellbeing month in September 2022
and held a range of activities including an employee volunteering
community clean-up day in the UK.
We are always looking at ways to ensure equality and diversity
across our Company and an inclusive, welcoming working environment
for everyone. Over the past year, we have created global
initiatives to celebrate: International Women's Day, Thanksgiving,
Mental Health Awareness Week, Earth Day and Health and Happiness
Month.
We continuously monitor the skills and expertise of the senior
leadership teams across all of our regions. During the latter
stages of FY23 and early part of FY24, we brought a highly
experienced Sales Director into each of our European and US
businesses. These individuals will enable us to deliver on the
growing opportunities ahead of us and to ensure we have the ability
to grow our sales pipeline across our key geographies.
During the year we carried out an employment engagement survey
to determine employee satisfaction. We were delighted with the
overall results and feel that we have developed a great team spirit
as an organisation. The survey showed that over 80% of our people
are happy with their line manager relationship and feel respected
and trusted by their line manager and peers and 70% of colleagues
felt that they were regularly informed with relevant 1Spatial news.
We will continue to survey the team and strive to improve our
scores each year.
The teams continue to show ingenuity and commitment day-to-day,
and live our values as revised in 2021: We Respect, We Innovate, We
Collaborate, We Trust and We Care. As a Board, we thank them
wholeheartedly; their ability to innovate continually whilst
delivering the highest levels of customer satisfaction means that
our growth pillars are built on very secure foundations.
Strategic priorities for the year ahead
As we move into our final year of our three-year growth plan, we
will continue to invest in the business to take advantage of the
huge opportunity ahead. Through the launch of our cloud platform in
January 2023, we have added a new layer of potential growth,
targeting niche areas of the location market where we have
identified significant demand and low levels of competition.
We will continue to grow our pipeline and invest in the business
and our people to support our expanded customer base. The Group
remains focused on increased revenue growth, underpinned by growing
annual recurring revenue, increased profitability at adjusted
EBITDA level and higher cash generation over the long-term.
Current trading and outlook
This year confirmed that 1Spatial sits right at the heart of
numerous changes across multiple sectors. We secured a number of
high-profile wins, invested in our technology and sales team, and
expanded our customer and partner networks to position the business
to serve a range of customers globally.
Looking ahead, we see multiple areas of significant opportunity,
particularly in the US and for our new SaaS offerings. Through the
launch of our cloud platform we are adding a new layer of potential
growth, targeting niche areas of the location market where we have
identified significant demand and low levels of competition. We
believe these offerings have the potential to be transformational
for 1Spatial.
Trading in the new financial year has begun positively. Our
growing sales pipeline and increased levels of recurring revenue
provide the Board with confidence in the Group's prospects, and we
will continue to invest in our sales team and offering to capture
what we believe to be a considerable long-term growth
opportunity.
Claire Milverton
Chief Executive Officer
CFO review
In FY 2023 the Group continued to build on foundations set in
the previous year by delivering double-digit growth in annual
revenues, future recurring revenues and adjusted EBITDA. The
improvement in the financial performance, notably in operating
profit and profit before tax, has resulted in an increase of 112%
in cash generated from operations to GBP5.4 million (FY 2022:
GBP2.5 million). Increases in these key financial metrics have
allowed the Group to continue significant investment into
development of its proprietary technology.
Revenue
Group revenue increased by 11% (9% at constant currency) to
GBP30.0 million from GBP27.0 million in FY 2022.
Recurring revenue
The business strategy is to grow revenue from repeatable
business solutions on long-term contracts by increasing sales of
term licences (rather than one-off perpetual licences) and
increasing the proportion of recurring revenue compared to
services. As a result, excluding the impact of the reduction in
perpetual licence revenue, the business achieved a year-on-year
growth in total revenue of 15%. Recurring revenue, as a percentage
of total revenue, increased to almost 50% (FY 2022: 45%).
Revenue by type is shown below:
Revenue by type

Perpetual licences 1.72 2.49 (31%)
Total revenue 30.00 27.03 11%
Percentage of recurring revenue 49% 45%
Annualised Recurring Revenue
The Annualised Recurring Revenue ('ARR') increased by 17% from
GBP13.4 million to GBP15.8 million as at 31 January 2023 with ARR
attributable to term licences growing by GBP1.1 million. The growth
rate varied by region with the US region growing at 59%, boosted by
the several multi-year term licence sales. The overall renewal rate
improved to 94% (FY 2022: 93%) providing a strong platform for the
current year.

Australia 1.56 1.32 18%
-------- -------- ---------
Total ARR 15.78 13.44 17%

Committed revenue
The level of committed services revenue, which has reduced since
the start of the year as services revenue on the major projects we
won last year is recognised, nevertheless remains high at
approximately GBP10 million and provides strong revenue visibility,
underpinning the Group's strong financial footing.
The combination of growing ARR, committed services revenue
backlog and a strong pipeline of prospects means that the business
is on track to make further progress on its revenue growth plan.
With the business focus on developing and selling repeatable
software solutions, there is an increased level of revenue
visibility, which allows the Board to continue to invest with
confidence.

Revenue (at constant currency) grew organically in all regions,
with overall revenue growth of 11%. The UK/Ireland region had a
further year of double-digit growth, with a revenue increase of
20%. In Europe, revenue was impacted by the timing of closing
contracts during the year and a slower transition to a recurring
term licence model than anticipated. This resulted in modest growth
of 1% at constant currency. The US had a strong year with a large
increase in sales of term licences, increasing total ARR by 59%.
Combined with a lower level of services, the revenue growth in the
year in the US was more modest than in previous years at 16%. In
Australia, where revenue is primarily derived from third-party
software deals, we experienced more competitive pricing pressure,
combined with the transition from perpetual to term licences, which
resulted in only 6% growth in revenue at constant currency. Going
forward, all regions will continue to focus on increasing sales of
higher margin owned technology sold as term licences.
Gross profit margin
The gross margin grew by 11% but gross margin % was the same as
the prior year at 52%. The Board approved expenditure increases in
sales and delivery capacity in order to secure higher value
contracts; and increased spending on R&D, which is included
within the cost of sales, is expected to yield higher gross margins
in future years. Going forward, the management team are also
focused on driving improvements to gross margin through revenue
growth of higher margin term licences and SaaS solutions.
Adjusted EBITDA
The adjusted EBITDA increased by 19% to GBP5.0 million from
GBP4.2 million in the prior year resulting in a higher adjusted
EBITDA margin of 16.7% (FY 2022: 15.5%). Cost management remains an
important focus and expenses are constantly reviewed to ensure the
level is appropriate for the structure of the business during this
growth phase.
Strategic, integration and other non-recurring items
Included within strategic, integration and other non-recurring
items are costs amounting to GBP0.2 million relating to the change
of Chief Financial Officer ('CFO') in December 2022. Costs include
all payments due to the outgoing CFO on exit together with
professional services fees incurred in onboarding his replacement,
drafting of contracts, share options and tax advice.
Operating profit and profit before tax
The Group achieved an operating profit of GBP1.3 million (FY
2022: GBP0.4 million) and profit before tax of GBP1.0 million (FY
2022: GBP0.2 million), representing a further year of significantly
improved profitability for the Group compared to the prior
year.
Taxation
The net tax credit for the period was GBP14k (FY 2022: GBP0.2
million). The 2022 tax credit is as restated following a prior year
adjustment leading to the recognition of a deferred tax asset.
Balance sheet
The Group's net assets increased to GBP17.4 million at 31
January 2023 (2022: GBP15.5 million), mainly due to the overall
profit after tax adjusted for currency differences in reserves.
Trade and other receivables increased in the year to GBP14.2
million (FY 2022: GBP12.3 million), mainly due to increased accrued
income at year-end and timing of invoicing and payment receipts
attributable to the increased level of revenue. Trade and other
payables increased in the year to GBP15.8 million (2022: GBP13.3
million) due to timing of payments around year end and increases in
the levels of recurring cost around the Group.
Cash flow
Operating cash inflow (before strategic, integration and other
non-recurring items) increased significantly to GBP5.4 million
(2022: GBP2.8 million ) due to continued focus on improving working
capital on larger projects, resulting in a significant improvement
in free cash flow in the year. As part of the three-year growth
plan, the Group has been investing in expanding the sales and
delivery team and investment in product development and this
impacted the operating cash flow and free cash flow as shown
below.

Investment in R&D
Development costs capitalised in the year increased to GBP3.9
million (FY 2022 GBP2.4 million) as the business has increased its
investment in its technology and business solutions. The key areas
where spending increased were on the cloud platform for solutions
such as Traffic Management Plan in the UK and NG9-1-1 in the US,
and other technology such as 1integrate, 1Data Gateway, 1Telecomms
and 1Water. Amortisation of development costs was GBP1.6 million
(FY 2022 GBP1.7 million).
Financing
The Group's financial position is supported by long-term bank
loans. As the number of higher value sales contracts has increased,
the Board decided to put in place a GBP3 million Revolving Credit
Facility. The facility, arranged in June 2022, is committed for
three years and priced on competitive terms. The facility was
undrawn as at 31 January 2023 and 25 April 2023.
At the end of January 2023, the remaining principal balance
outstanding on the long-term loans was GBP2.0 million (2022: GBP2.4
million). The amount repayable in FY 2024 is approximately EUR0.7
million (FY 2022: GBP0.6 million). With a gross cash position of
GBP5.0 million at 31 January 2023 (FY 2022: GBP5.6 million), a
growing adjusted EBITDA and positive operating cash generation, the
business is in a healthy financial position, which gives the Board
the confidence to continue to invest.
Going forward, the Board and management teams are focused on
increasing revenues, in particular recurring revenues, whilst
improving the Group's profitability and cash generation.
Alternative Performance Measures
Certain analyses include Alternative Performance Measures
("APMs") which are not defined by generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) as defined under UK-adopted international
accounting standards or other generally accepted accounting
principles. We believe this information, along with comparable GAAP
measurements, is useful to investors because it provides a basis
for measuring our operating performance. Our management and Board
of Directors uses these financial measures, along with the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our
operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial
information presented in compliance with GAAP. Wherever appropriate
and practical, we provide reconciliation to relevant GAAP
measures.
APMs have been provided for the following reasons:
-- to present users of the financial statements with a clear
view of what we consider to be the results of our underlying
operations, aiding the understanding of management analysis and
enabling consistent comparisons over time
-- to provide additional information to users of the financial
statements about our financial performance or financial
position
The following APMs appear in this document:

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 January 2023
1. Basis of preparation
The preliminary information of 1Spatial plc has been prepared in
accordance with international accounting standards in conformity
with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of
applying the Group's accounting policies.
The results shown for the year ended 31 January 2023 and 31
January 2022 are audited. The consolidated financial information
contained in this announcement does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act
2006. Statutory accounts of the Company in respect of the financial
year ended 31 January 2023 were approved by the Board of directors
on 25 April 2023 and will be delivered to the Registrar of
Companies in due course. The report of the auditors on those
accounts was unqualified and did not contain an emphasis of matter
paragraph nor any statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act
2006.
2. Going concern
The Board used as its basis for the going concern review the
budget for the FY 2024 year, rolled out to 31 July 2024 using part
of its forecast for FY 2025, so that a full 12-month period from
the date of signing the FY 2023 Annual Report and Accounts is
considered. In addition to applying the normal sensitivities to
cash flows, the going concern review included a reverse-stress test
to demonstrate that even if new business and renewals are severely
impacted, the finances of the Group remain robust.
The year ended 31 January 2023 saw a record year for revenues
and profits for the Group with a strong performance in all regions.
FY 2023 was a year of increased revenue, operating profit, profit
before tax as well as double-digit growth in recurring revenue,
increased adjusted EBITDA and a significant increase in the
operating cash conversion to approximately 106% (FY 2022: 60%).
Metrics for future years are positive with Annualised Recurring
Revenue ("ARR") increasing to approximately GBP16m (FY 2022:
approximately GBP13m) driven primarily by term licence in the US.
Additionally, the value of committed service orders going into FY
2024 remains strong at approximately GBP10m. We anticipate that
revenue on these orders will be recognised in FY 2024. We entered
the current year with a record level of contracted future revenue,
a wide range of customers in stable industry segments of
Government, Utilities and Transport and growing proof of delivery
in all regions.
The operating cash flow generated in FY 2023 was positive but
was impacted by working capital requirements on larger projects and
the Group's decision to continue to invest in growing the business.
The Group entered into a Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") in June
2022 denominated in GBP with a limit of GBP3m and an expiry date of
22 June 2025.
The Group started the current financial year on 1 February 2023
with cash of GBP5.0m and debt of GBP1.9m, giving net funds (before
lease liabilities) of GBP3.1m. Including the new RCF facility, the
Group's liquidity is approximately GBP6.1m.
The Board has concluded, after reviewing the work detailed
above, that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operation for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the
financial statements. Accordingly, they have adopted the going
concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
3. Segmental information
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the
Board of Directors, which makes the Group's strategic decisions.
The Group is now focused on developing and selling repeatable
solutions and recurring term licences globally, with associated
support services. As such, the Board considers that the Group
operates with only one segment and one CGU under one global
strategy and the results are accordingly presented as Group results
only.
The following table provides an analysis of the Group's revenue
by type.

The Board assesses the performance of the Group based on
adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a company-specific measure
which is calculated as operating profit before depreciation
(including right of use asset depreciation), amortisation and
impairment of intangible assets, share-based payment charge and
strategic, integration, and other non-recurring items (see note 4).
As these are non-GAAP measures, they should not be considered as
replacements for IFRS measures. The Group's definition of these
non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures reported by other companies.
The following table provides an analysis of the Group's revenue
by country of domicile, split by whether the revenue is recognised
at a point in time or over time.

As at 31 January 2023, costs to obtain and fulfil a contract of
GBP109,000 were included in other receivables (2022: GBP169,000).
Amortisation of costs to obtain and fulfil a contract for the year
ended 31 January 2023 were GBP75,000 (2022: GBP54,000). The Group
has no significant concentration risk with no major customers
representing more than 10% of Group revenue (2021: nil).
The Group has significant contract balances (both assets and
liabilities), which arise out of the ordinary course of its
operations. Contract assets include accrued income, which arises
where chargeable work is performed, and the revenue is recognised
based upon satisfaction of performance obligations in advance of
invoicing the client. This can arise because, particularly for some
larger projects, client invoicing may be in stages and linked to
project milestones. Once an invoice is raised then the related
accrued income will be reduced by the invoiced amount.
Significant contract liabilities arise when a client has been
invoiced annually in advance (for example, for annual support and
maintenance contracts) and the revenue is recognised on a monthly
basis over the year. In that case, the initial invoiced amount is
fully deferred and then released to the profit and loss over the
course of the contract.
The following table provides an analysis of the Group's
non-current assets by location.

The cash impact in FY 2023 relating to the strategic,
integration and other non-recurring items was GBP48,000 (2022:
GBP294,000).
Amendments to Geomap-Imagis Share Purchase Agreement (SPA)
The final step in the integration of Geomap-Imagis ("G-I"),
which was acquired in May 2019, was completed in March 2021. As
part of the restructuring, two of the G-I founders and former
directors left the business and the parties amended the original
SPA as explained below.
Under the original terms, the Group agreed to pay the vendors
consideration, which included EUR1,166,999 to be satisfied by the
issue by 1Spatial of ordinary shares (the "Consideration
Shares").
Of the consideration to be satisfied by the issue of the
Consideration Shares, EUR726,459 was satisfied immediately upon
Completion, with the balance of EUR440,540 originally to be
satisfied on 30 March 2023 (the "Deferred Share Consideration
Amount"). Accordingly, on Completion the Company issued to the
vendors 1,902,686 new ordinary shares (the "Initial Consideration
Shares"), subject to a lock up obligation until 31 December
2021.
In connection with completion of the integration of G-I, the
Group entered into an Amendment Agreement with two GI founders and
former directors in March 2021 to amend the terms of the original
agreement primarily as follows:
-- Release 1,765,173 of the Initial Consideration Shares (the
"Released Shares") from the above-mentioned lock up obligation;
and
-- pay out in cash to certain of the vendors, at the earlier
date of 10 September 2022, EUR408,701 of the Deferred Share
Consideration Amount.
The balance of consideration EUR31,839 was issued in shares on
31 March 2023.

The net book amount of development costs includes GBP8,750,000
(2022: GBP6,402,000) internally generated capitalised software
development costs that meet the definition of an intangible asset.
The amortisation charge of GBP2,048,000 (2022: GBP2,254,000) is
included in the administrative expenses in the statement of
comprehensive income.
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculation were
the pre-tax discount rate applied (14% (FY 2022: 13%)), revenue
growth rates of 9.5% per annum and cost growth rates of 7% per
annum for the five-year period from 1 February 2023 to the year
ending 31 January 2028. The Board approved budget for the year
ending 31 January 2024 was used as the basis for the Group's value
in use calculation. Results for the next four years were calculated
using the above assumptions to derive the Group's value in use. No
impairment is required as no individual asset has a higher carrying
value than its value in use.

Impairment tests for goodwill
Goodwill is assessed for the Group as a whole as the Group
operates with one segment and one CGU as the Group manages its
operations under one global strategy. All aspects of the business
are focusing now on growing recurring revenue of repeatable
solutions using technology that will be deployed globally under a
single strategy. Products developed by regional development teams
are marketed globally.

========= =========
Basis for calculation of recoverable amount
The Group has prepared a five-year plan for its CGU (based on a
formally approved 1-year plan extended for four more projected
years). The detailed plan put together by the management team and
the Board makes estimates for revenue and gross profit
expectations. This is from both contracted and pipeline revenue
streams. It also takes account of historical success of winning new
work and has been prepared in accordance with IAS 36: 'Impairment
of Assets'.
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations were
the pre-tax discount rates applied (14%) and the growth
assumptions. Growth in sales and corresponding costs for the
five-year period has been forecast at 9.5% and 7% per annum
respectively and the EBITDA to cash conversion is assumed to be 60%
or greater.
The rates used in the above assumptions are consistent with
management's knowledge of the industry and strategic plans going
forward. The assumptions noted above have been given in terms of
revenue and overhead percentage growth. For 2024 and subsequent
years, the assumption has been provided in terms of growth on the
prior year EBITDA. The terminal growth rate of 2% does not exceed
the long-term growth rate for the business in which the CGUs
operate. The discount rate used is pre-tax and reflects specific
risks relating to the Group. The forecasts are most sensitive to
changes in revenue and overhead assumptions (taken together as the
EBITDA). However, there are no major changes to the key assumptions
which would cause the goodwill to be impaired.
There would have to be a reduction in forecast EBITDA by 14% for
each year of the five-year period ending 31 January 2028 for the
headroom to be removed.

The fair value of the Group's trade receivables and other
receivables is the same as its book value stated above. No interest
is charged on overdue receivables.
At 31 January 2023, trade receivables of GBP3,698,000 (2022:
GBP3,650,000) were fully performing. Before accepting any new
customer, the Group assesses the potential customer's credit
quality and defines credit limits by customer.
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring
expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss
provision for trade receivables and contract assets. To measure
expected credit losses on a collective basis, trade receivables and
contract assets are grouped based on similar credit risk and aging.
The contract assets have similar risk characteristics to the trade
receivables for similar types of contracts. The expected credit
losses are based on the Group's historical credit losses which are
then adjusted for current and forward-looking information on
macroeconomic factors affecting the Group's customers. The Group
has identified gross domestic growth rates, unemployment rates,
interest rates and inflation rates as the key macroeconomic factors
in the countries in which the Group operates.
At 31 January 2023, trade receivables of GBP1,269,000 (2022:
GBP1,220,000) were past due but not impaired. The ageing analysis
of these customers is set out below. There has been no change in
the credit quality of these balances; they relate to customers
where there is no history of default and are still considered fully
recoverable.
The ageing of these receivables is as follows:

------------------------ --------- ----------- -----------
As of 31 January 2023, trade receivables of GBP29,000 were
impaired (2022: GBP25,000) and provided for.
The trade receivables above include performance retentions on
long-term contracts.
Movements on the Group provision for impairment of trade
receivables are as follows:

Increase/(decrease) in provision 4 (55)
At 31 January 29 25
---------------------------------- --------- ---------
The other classes within trade and other receivables do not
contain impaired assets and the Group expects to recover these in
full. There are no financial assets whose terms have been
renegotiated that would otherwise be past due or impaired.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the
carrying value of each class of receivable noted above. The Group
does not hold any collateral as security.

Bank borrowings
Bank borrowings relate to bank loans in 1Spatial France
totalling EUR2.25m (2022: EUR2.87m). Bank loan interest is charged
on a fixed rate basis with interest rates ranging between 0% and
3.6%, included the related guarantee costs.
The loans are due for repayment over the period to FY 2028, with
a broadly even repayment pattern with approximately EUR0.7m
(GBP0.6m) due for repayment in FY 2024. New borrowings in the year
amounted to nil (2022: nil). There are no financial covenants
attached to the loans, nor is there any security applied. All
long-term loans are denominated in EUR.
Revolving credit facility
There are covenants associated with the Revolving Credit
Facility ("RCF") in relation to the maximum gearing of the Group.
The RCF is denominated in GBP, the facility limit is GBP3m with an
expiry date of 22 June 2025. The interest rate for any drawn
amounts is 2.95% per annum over the Bank of England Sterling
Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"). There is a commitment fee of
1.15% per annum of any undrawn part of the Facility. This facility
was undrawn as at 31 January 2023.

12. Business combinations
On 7 May 2019, the Company entered into share purchase
agreements to acquire the entire issued share capital of
Geomap-Imagis Participations ("Geomap-Imagis") for a total
consideration of EUR7.0m (the "Consideration"). Full details of the
acquisition were provided in the Annual Report for the year ended
31 January 2020. As disclosed in note 4, there were some minor
changes to the terms of the Share Purchase agreement. The remaining
balance payable at 31 January 2022 of EUR440,540 (equivalent to
GBP380,000) was satisfied mainly in cash (GBP352,000) in September
2022, with the balance settled by an issue of 57,685 ordinary
shares of GBP0.10 on 31 March 2023. These shares had a market value
of EUR31,839 (GBP28,000) at the date of issue. There are no further
elements of deferred consideration due to the former shareholders
of Geomap-Imagis Participations ("Geomap-Imagis").

Deferred income tax assets are recognised against tax loss
carry-forwards to the extent that the realisation of the related
tax benefit through future taxable benefits is probable. The Group
did not recognise potential deferred tax assets of GBP3,243,000
(2022: GBP4,027,000) in respect of losses amounting to
GBP13,133,300 (2022: GBP16,044,500) that can be carried forward
against future taxable income, on the grounds that at the balance
sheet date their utilisation is not considered probable. Losses
have no expiry date.

Rights of shares
Ordinary shares
The ordinary shares all rank pari passu, have the right to participate
in dividends and other distributions made by the Company, and
to receive notice of, attend and vote at every general meeting
of the Company. On liquidation, ordinary shareholders are entitled
to participate in the assets available for distribution pro rata
to the amount credited as paid up on such shares (excluding any
premium).
Deferred shares
The deferred shares do not carry voting rights or a right to
receive a dividend. The holders of deferred shares will not have
the right to receive notice of any general meeting of the Company,
nor have any right to attend, speak or vote at any such meeting.
The deferred shares will also be incapable of transfer (other
than to the Company). In addition, holders of deferred shares

on a winding up of the Company after each of the holders of ordinary
shares has received a payment of GBP1,000,000 in respect of each
ordinary share. Accordingly, the deferred shares will have no
economic value. No application will be made for the deferred
shares to be admitted to trading on AIM nor to trading on any
other stock or investment exchange.

16. Prior year adjustment
The Group has a deferred tax liability in relation to temporary
differences on intangibles assets in 1Spatial Group Limited. This
deferred tax liability is partially offset by the recognition of a
deferred tax asset in 1Spatial Group Limited.
In preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 January 2023, an error was noted in that a deferred
tax asset in 1Spatial plc should have been recognised on
consolidation to offset this deferred tax liability, as required by
IAS12, Income taxes. This is because the taxable temporary
differences associated with the intangible assets relates to the
same tax authority (UK) as the 1Spatial plc deferred tax asset, and
as such the asset meets the criteria for recognition. In addition,
the offset criteria of IAS 12 are also met and therefore the
deferred tax amounts are presented net in the consolidated
statement of financial position.
The error has been corrected by restating each of the affected
financial statement line items as follows:
Consolidated statement of financial position
A third consolidated statement of financial position has not
been presented as the impact as of 1 February 2021 was not deemed
to be material.
