Operational Overview

   --      H1 2023 results: 

o Revenues modestly lower due to significant insurance capacity driven reduction in demand

o Gross margins significantly improved

o Overheads significantly reduced

o Losses eliminated with a shift towards profitability

o Improved cash generation from operations - c. 63 per cent increase on the comparable period

   --      H2 2023/24 and FY2025 outlook: 

o Insurance capacity not expected to return significantly this year; however new customers improving demand for H2 2023/24 and capacity is expected to recover for FY25

o Major automotive customer demand expected to positively impact FY25

o Substantial investment in second Data Centre to reduce operation costs by GBP0.6m per annum

o Large Optimisation software contract sale still expected to conclude in FY24

Outlook

The Board expects to meet market expectations, provided a significant software sale is secured late in FY24. In this respect, discussions are ongoing to secure a large optimisation software sales contract, and while there can be no certainty, the Board remains confident of the prospects of concluding such discussions in FY24.

Executive Chairman's Statement

Results

I am pleased to report Trakm8's unaudited results for the six months ended 30 September 2023 ("H1 2023").

The first half of the financial year was in line with recent Company guidance. Revenues for the unaudited six-month period ended 30 September 2023 were modestly lower in comparison to the corresponding period of the previous financial year at GBP8.54m (H1 2022: GBP9.01m).

In H1 2023, there was a 2% increase in Fleet & Optimisation revenues to GBP4.90m and a reduction of 13% in Insurance revenues to GBP3.63m. We have reported previously on the dreadful current state of the UK motor insurance market, and this has had a significant impact on us. We estimate that the loss of insurance capacity has reduced revenues in the financial period concerned by GBP1.6m with overall c onnections reducing by 7% to 324,000 (FY ending 31.3.2023: 348,000) . Notwithstanding this deterioration, there are some positives with a 14% uplift in our Automotive revenues during the financial period as a result of the success of our customers' service, maintenance and repair activities.

The Group is pleased to report a significant improvement in the profitability of the Group with an Adjusted Profit of GBP0.10m (H1 2022: loss GBP1.08m), Profit before Tax of GBP13k (H1 2022: loss GBP2.41m) and Profit after Tax of GBP0.10m (H1 2022: loss GBP1.78m).

During the period, material increases in motor insurance premiums and capacity constraints caused Insurance unit sales to reduce by 31% to 66,000 and Insurance & Automotive connections to decrease by 7% to 259,000 (FY ending 31.3.23: 279,000). Notwithstanding this, we do believe that new policies written will exceed cancelled policies going forward.

In Fleet & Optimisation, o ur focus on Enterprise and higher margin business has resulted in connections decreasing by 6% to 65,000 (FY Ending 31.3.23: 69,000), with higher attrition in the small fleet sector, but revenues continuing to grow as previously reported. Fleet unit sales also decreased by 38% to 5,000 but with corresponding device revenues up 20% as more complex solutions continued to be delivered to new and existing customers.

Pleasingly, Recurring Revenues in the period increased over the previous year by 3% to GBP5.23m and represent 61% of the Group's overall revenues. In addition, the Group generated GBP0.20m of software revenues (H1 2022: GBP0.12m), which represent 2% of the Group's overall revenues. Software contract revenues are again weighted to the second half of the financial year, as was the case in previous financial years, from both new and existing customers who rely on our solutions for their fleet operations.

The supply chain challenges of the previous year are largely behind us. We have designed all new hardware products with the latest components that are more expensive than those they replaced, but we expect that these new components will start to reduce in cost next year. Despite this material cost impact, gross profit margin has improved to 67% (H1 2022: 58%). This is due in part to improved factory efficiencies but also the higher recurring revenues as a percentage of sales. Despite the insurance demand reduction, commitments to suppliers for components have not commensurately been deferred and inventory has accordingly continued to increase. It is expected that this increase in inventory will be reduced somewhat this financial year, with further reductions taking place in the next financial year.

In 2018, we launched the RH600, the first 4G live streaming integrated telematics camera, which has since received multiple industry awards. This year we have launched the RH800, which has core technology based on the RH600 but is capable of being used in the five camera solutions which are increasingly common. We expect that the RH800 will be the same leap forward in technology for the market that the RH600 was.

At the end of H1 2022, the Company embarked on a refocus of business activities and as a result was able to significantly reduce overheads. Overall, overheads have reduced by GBP913k compared to the previous financial period.

Financial position

Cash generation from operations was GBP2.35m (H1 2022: GBP1.44m) and as at 30 September 2023, the Group's net bank debt, excluding the impact of the IFRS16 lease liability, was GBP5.57m (H1 2022 GBP6.24m), representing a reduction of GBP0.05m compared to the end the previous financial year. The capital investment project for our second data centre of GBP0.5m increased debt by GBP0.2m in the financial period concerned. Further capital investment is anticipated to be committed in early H2 2023. The Board believes that this capital investment should generate significant return on investment over the coming months and will ensure that we continue to deliver cutting edge solutions to our customers. As at 30 September 2023, the Group had GBP0.87m of cash on hand and a further GBP0.50m of available funds under an existing overdraft facility.

The overall cash outflow for the financial period was GBP0.25m (H1 2022: inflow of GBP0.29m).

Strategy

The Group has been following the strategy outlined in its final results for the year ended 31 March 2023, which was announced on 4 July 2023. 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 continuing to grow the business through more connections, increased device sales and higher service fees. However, there have been serious headwinds in the motor insurance market with material policy price increases and a reduction in capacity. Although we have secured a number of additional customers, there has been a reduction in total connections. Despite this, we believe that the point has come that growth in connections will now restart. We are also expecting our Optimisation business to expand further into the home delivery space.

Trakm8 has focused on delivering market leading technology and ensures that the solutions are generating the best possible returns for our customers. We have reduced the levels of expenditure in R&D as we now have the latest technology in all our devices and our Insight platform is mostly feature complete. The launch of the RH800 for multicamera applications is a significant step forward in the Fleet market. We continue to own the majority of intellectual property in our value chain. We have been building out greater functionality of existing solutions. As a result, going forward we will meet our objectives of remaining a leading-edge technology company but at a lower investment cost.

Our third strategy has been to improve the efficiencies of our business in every possible way. We have been successful in significantly reducing our future overhead costs by GBP2.1m per annum and have implemented the investment in a second data centre, which will reduce our hosting costs by GBP0.6m per annum. We will continue to seek out further external cost reductions.

   1.       Basis of preparation 

The Group's interim results for the 6 months to 30 September 2023 (prior year 30 September 2022) were approved by the Board of Directors on 23 November 2023.

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 2023. 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 2023 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 risks presented in the 31 March 2023 Annual Report, described as follows, also remain relevant to the rest of the financial year: Deteriorating economic climate; Cyber-attack and data security; Attracting and maintaining high quality employees; Operating in a fast moving technology industry where we will always be at risk from new products being launched; Significant operational failure; Adverse mobile network changes; Access to long term and working capital; Electronics supply chain under constraint; Business disruption from communicable diseases. These are detailed on pages 20 to 22 of the 2023 of the 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 continues 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, assets and liabilities are in respect of one Integrated Telematics Technology segment.
