HIGHLIGHTS

Financial

   -- Operating loss of GBP8.8m (H1 2020 GBP5.0m) 
 
   -- Inventory build-up of GBP8.6m (H1 2020 GBP0.1m) 
 
   -- Cash at 30 June 2021 GBP10.9m (H1 2020 GBP4.5m) 
 
   -- Loans and borrowings GBPnil (H1 2020 GBP0.9m) 

Operational

The Period saw successful deployment of capital raised in December 2020 to scale up Invinity's manufacturing and organisational capabilities and progress with the delivery of key strategic projects. Highlights include:

   -- Expansion of Invinity's global manufacturing capabilities leading to a 100% increase in capacity. 
 
   -- Despite ongoing global supply chain disruption, significant progress toward the delivery of more than 16MWh of 
      key projects including: 
 
      o              5MWh Energy Superhub Oxford project - currently in commissioning 
                      phase and scheduled for completion in Q4 2021. First stage 
                      of commissioning expected to complete within weeks. 
      o              0.8MWh Scottish Water project - currently in delivery phase, 
                      shipping expected to commence in early Q4 2021. 
      o              1.8MWh Flow + Hydrogen + Tidal project, Orkney Islands 
                      - manufacturing phase nearing completion, delivery scheduled 
                      to commence during Q4 2021. 
      o              8MWh Yadlamalka Energy solar-plus-storage power plant, 
                      South Australia - manufacturing nearing completion, shipping 
                      to site scheduled to commence later in Q4 2021. Delivery 
                      remains contingent on the customer's receipt of local construction 
                      approvals, which management have recently learned may require 
                      more time. Due to this delay, Invinity anticipates that 
                      the site may not be ready to receive delivery of product 
                      until early 2022. Further updates in respect of this project's 
                      timeline will be provided in due course. 
      o              Various other projects for delivery across the USA and 
                      Asia totalling 1.5MWh are in the final stages of manufacturing 
                      with delivery expected to take place during Q4 2021 and 
                      early 2022. 
 

Commercial

Further to figures presented in the Group's 2020 Annual Report, the Group's latest commercial opportunity pipeline as at 14 September 2021 is summarised below.

 
                             Base      Upside    Pipeline 
---------------------------  --------  --------  --------- 
14 September 2021            18.8 MWh  38.4 MWh  262.6 MWh 
17 May 2021 (FY2020)         10.1 MWh  30.8 MWh  232.0 MWh 
23 September 2020 (HY2020)   13.7 MWh  36.4 MWh  68.9 MWh 
Year-on-Year Change          +37%      +5%       +281% 
---------------------------  --------  --------  ----------- 
 

Movements in the commercial opportunity pipeline primarily reflect a significant increase in both the number and average size of prospective projects that have been qualified by Invinity's Commercial team over the course of 2021, driven in large part by significantly increased inbound interest in the Group's products and solutions. The number of opportunities categorised as either "Upside" or "Base" has increased 40% since May 2021, whilst early stage "pipeline" interest has continued to grow steadily, up 13% over the same period.

Invinity remains encouraged by the volume of opportunities that have progressed from "Pipeline", representing opportunities that have met certain qualification thresholds, to the "Upside" (expected to enter contracting in the near term) and "Base" (in contracting) categorisations which include deals with significant commercial traction and a high degree of certainty of near-term close.

Key contracts closed during the Period included the 0.5 MWh sale in California to Indian Energy LLC for a project supported by the California Energy Commission announced on 17 May 2021. Cash receipts for milestone payments during the Period totalled GBP3.2m.

Outlook

The global need for large-scale energy storage has become clearer and more compelling since Invinity's last report, while concerns about lithium-based systems are increasing, creating a large market opportunity for a utility-grade alternative to lithium storage. The Group is focused on establishing its position as the leading provider of that alternative by developing and delivering the Invinity VS3, our factory-built flow battery product. Overcoming obstacles and delays, the Group has doubled its manufacturing capacity, increased its product and project delivery capabilities, instituted quality systems and scalable processes, and advanced toward completion of signed projects.

Perhaps most significantly, the Group has entered into a Joint Development and Commercialisation Agreement with Gamesa Electric and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy to co-develop a next-generation vanadium flow battery able to address projects at utility scale. The gated development process is proceeding with the achievement of the first milestone anticipated before the end of the year. Finally, the Group has been progressing a number of sales contracts, completion of which, management expect to be able to announce soon.

Larry Zulch, Chief Executive Officer at Invinity said:

"We spent the Period building Invinity's ability to address the global opportunities for non-lithium energy storage now and for years to come. This vital 'behind the scenes' work is paying off as we establish Invinity as foremost in providing a factory-built flow battery product, progressing to our goal of being the global leader in utility-grade energy storage. Our VS3 is finally shipping as a standardized product into multiple projects, marking a highly significant inflection point for the Group. I couldn't be more pleased at the progress we've made, the size of the opportunity in front of us, and our ability to address it."

STRATEGY UPDATE

During the first six months of 2021, the Group made tremendous advances in its strategic goal of becoming the first battery manufacturer to offer a truly viable alternative to existing lithium-ion stationary energy storage systems. This strategy relies on delivering a modular, value engineered, factory-built product - not a prototype, one-off, custom installation, or experiment - and doing so efficiently and in volume.

It is only when combined with energy storage that wind and solar become a dispatchable asset rather than a periodic, and sometimes unreliable, contributor to global energy needs. As wind and solar take their proper place in the energy infrastructure, they must be matched with utility-grade energy storage. Until Invinity unveiled what we believe to be the industry's first flow battery delivered as a turn-key, factory-built product, battery energy storage with the following four primary characteristics was not available:

1) Safe. Utility grade storage must not pose a persistent fire risk. Invinity's VS3 stores energy in an aqueous electrolyte which simply cannot catch fire. Our products are designed with a "safety in depth" philosophy.

2) Long life. Utility grade energy storage should last as long as the renewable energy products it supports, which is generally 25 years for wind and solar products. The VS3 is designed to have a 25-year lifetime with no limitations on cycling.

3) Economical. The cost per unit of energy stored and discharged must be lower than the alternatives. Based on research, the costs per megawatt hour (MWh) of the Invinity VS3 are anticipated to be less than lithium-ion systems over the lifetime of the battery.

4) Proven. Utility-grade energy storage must be proven in operation in the field. Invinity has over 25 MWh installed or in committed projects. We expect this "proven" quality to be demonstrated upon the imminent completion of Energy Superhub Oxford, the first of a number of projects the Group will complete in 2021.

We don't believe any energy storage battery product without all four of these characteristics can accurately call itself utility grade. In this ability, Invinity stands alone.

Certainly, the timing is right to make utility-grade energy storage available to the global market. In many of today's largest energy markets, renewable penetration is currently constrained by the inability to use all the energy produced when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, coupled with shortages when they are not. The UK, for example, will require a three-fold increase (an additional 200 GWh) to its grid capacity alone by 2050 to meet its renewable targets. Utility grade energy storage is expected to deliver a large proportion of this.

The amount of lithium needed to support the electrification of transport will impact global supplies, reducing its availability for the stationary storage applications where it would be in direct competition with our flow batteries. Finally, increasing scepticism about so-called "Blue Hydrogen" has propelled interest in "Green Hydrogen" made from renewable energy, which requires energy storage to provide a consistent electrical supply to the electrolysers as demonstrated by the Group's announced project with EMEC, the European Marine Energy Centre, which uses tidal power, smoothed by our vanadium flow battery, to create Green Hydrogen.

Preparing the Group to properly meet this global opportunity for stationary energy storage has been management's primary focus. Overseen by a team with exceptional experience in flow batteries and energy storage, the Group has deployed capital raised in December 2020 to add employees in product development, project management, quality systems, supply chain, manufacturing operations, customer solutions, logistics, and more. We have instituted systems, processes, and procedures to support the GroupÕs ability to scale including progress toward ISO certification. Plus we have efficiently built product now held as inventory which will imminently convert to revenue.

The Group has been addressing ever-larger commercial opportunities, progressing from hundreds of kilowatt hours (kWh) to multiple megawatt hours (MWh). But to properly meet future global demand for energy storage alternatives to lithium systems, the Group must be able to address requirements measured in 100s of MWh and even in gigawatt-hours (GWh).

Projects of this size are the goal of the Group's recently announced Joint Development and Commercialisation Agreement (JDCA) with Gamesa Electric and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, leaders in grid-scale power systems and wind turbines. Together, Invinity and Gamesa Electric are developing the next generation of vanadium flow batteries with an unprecedented ability to scale to meet the largest, most significant requirements in the transition to a renewable energy future. The joint development process progresses as a sequence of defined milestones, the achievement of the first of which is expected by the end of 2021. The Group has devoted considerable resources to this effort and anticipates this commitment to continue for the two years of joint product development and the many years thereafter of joint commercialisation.

The Group's efforts toward building a robust product and a scalable organization will see its first external expression in Energy Superhub Oxford and other projects the Group will deliver in 2021. Like many companies over the past 18 months, we have had to overcome significant obstacles in completing and delivering our VS3 product. While the well-publicised global chip shortage, supply chain disruptions, shipping issues, and component delivery delays have put all our projects behind their original schedules, the Invinity team has persevered and solved the issues, emerging stronger and more confident than ever.

Everyone at Invinity is focused on realising the objective of being the flow battery leader. Indeed, we believe we are at the forefront of providing an alternative to lithium systems for stationary battery storage, we are deploying a compelling product, our market potential is of a very significant magnitude, our team is experienced and dedicated, and we enjoy the support of our shareholders and investors. We can't wait to show you what's next.

COMMERCIAL UPDATE

2021 has been a year when energy shortages and grid disruptions, from Texas to the UK, have repeatedly been front-page news. Universally one of the best responses to instability is to build resilience, meaning the addition of assets to the grid that can overcome supply shortages and extreme weather. This has generated significant discussion in our industry on the technical solutions and business models that can be deployed in response. Few mature energy storage solutions can deliver the same resilience and flexibility to the electric grid as Invinity's safe, robust and economical vanadium flow batteries.

As our market presence matures, Invinity is seeing an ever-larger number of industry players adopt exactly this view. In the days following the recent "thermal event" at a major battery project in Southern California, for example, we saw a tremendous increase in the number of enquiries seeking to understand how Invinity's VFBs can provide an alternative long-duration, high-throughput utility-grade energy storage solution with significantly lower risk.

This growing awareness that our VFBs deliver capabilities above and beyond those of other storage technologies in some of the toughest, heaviest-duty applications is one of the major reasons our commercial pipeline continues to grow. And while we continue to have a healthy group of opportunities which we categorise as "Base" (in contracting) and "Upside" (expected to enter contracting in the near term), our customers, their engineers and constructors, and the professionals who support them continue to manage the disruptions of the last year, slowing the completion of new contracts.

Nevertheless, we remain very positive about the opportunities in the nearer categories of our pipeline and expect that several will close before the end of 2021. There are some very exciting events to come: As stimulus bills focused on infrastructure in the U.S. and elsewhere become written into law, and as our lawmakers themselves gather for COP26 a stone's throw away from Invinity's newly expanded manufacturing facility in Bathgate Scotland, we expect the impetus for existing and new customers to contract for and to construct breakthrough storage solutions using Invinity's VFBs will only accelerate.

Against that backdrop, our commercial opportunities as at 14 September are as follows:

 
                             Base      Upside    Pipeline 
---------------------------  --------  --------  --------- 
14 September 2021            18.8 MWh  38.4 MWh  262.6 MWh 
17 May 2021 (FY2020)         10.1 MWh  30.8 MWh  232.0 MWh 
23 September 2020 (HY2020)   13.7 MWh  36.4 MWh  68.9 MWh 
Year-on-Year Change          +37%      +5%       +281% 
---------------------------  --------  --------  --------- 
 

As we reported in our 2020 Annual Report, we continue to see an increase in the average size of the opportunities in our commercial pipeline, with the average opportunity value 17% higher than in May 2021. As noted at that time, those larger opportunities tend to introduce complexities that present longer time horizons to close. We are at the early stages of development of even larger and truly exciting opportunities. As Invinity advances our VFBs to fulfil their promise as the first batteries that are utility-grade at utility-scale, we expect these enormous opportunities to become the focus of our future efforts.

FINANCIAL REPORT

The six-months under review have been characterised by scaling up manufacturing capability and expanding the business to service the current and growing future demand for our product. To this end, GBP11.2m of cash (GBP15.9m gross of receipts) was deployed in the Period. Of this GBP15.9m, notably GBP8.6m was used to build the inventory needed to deliver on our contracts and a further GBP3.9m to continue building the leading team in our sector.

Income statement & balance sheet

The result for the six-month period was a loss of GBP8.8m (against GBP5.0m loss for the comparative period and GBP24.3m loss for the prior year).

With revenue on closed contracts not being booked until commencement of delivery in the second half of this year, the primary drivers of the result were administrative expenses of GBP5.9m (H1 2020: GBP4.0m) and other items of GBP1.9m (H1 2020: GBP1.0m). As ongoing product research and development is not typically capitalised, it is included within administrative expenses under the GroupÕs accounting policies.

Other items of GBP1.9m relates primarily to an increase in the provision for onerous contracts, which is mainly due to global cost increases in the supply chain being experienced by all manufacturers over the last twelve-months, particularly for shipping from China, which, for example, increased six-fold from approximately $3,700 to $21,000 per 40-foot container from China to Europe.

As planned, we have been deploying cash to deliver on contracts and build our ongoing capabilities. The main balance sheet movements have therefore been the GBP8.6m build of completed and in-process Inventory, a GBP3.0m increase in contract liabilities representing milestone payments on closed contacts received before revenue can be recognised for accounting, and the GBP11.2m use of funds (see table below).

Current terms of trade and the need for early orders for long-lead items mean that inventory payments are initially recorded as prepayments within other current assets until the goods or services are transferred to the Group, at which point they are classified as inventory until transferred to the customer. At the Period end, GBP4.6m of inventory related payments were classified as prepayments and GBP5.5m as inventory, before allocated contract losses.

Use of funds

A summary of the payments and receipts during the six-month period is as follows:

 
 Payments and receipts                          GBP'm 
---------------------------------------------  ------ 
 Inventory (including ESO & Yadlamalka)           8.6 
 Property, plant and equipment                    0.6 
 Product related expenditure (including R&D)      0.8 
 Payroll                                          3.9 
 Other                                            2.0 
---------------------------------------------  ------ 
                                                 15.9

---------------------------------------------  ------ 
 

Payroll primarily reflects the investment in human resource within the Group to support growth targets with employee headcount increasing from 103 at the start of the Period to 132 at the end. The increased headcount has allowed for the creation of a specific Customer Operations department and all but one of the new hires across the Group are product facing, as set out below:

 
 Headcount                             1 January           30 June

------------------------------------  ----------  ---------------- 
                                             103               132 
------------------------------------  ----------  ---------------- 
 

Receipts include GBP1.0m from the exercise of warrants under the Riverfort facility and GBP0.5m of UK Government grants. The GBP3.2m balance relates to milestone payments on closed contracts.

Going concern

The Group is debt free and had cash balances of GBP10.9m and GBP6.1m at the end of June 2021 and August 2021 respectively. It has closed contracts to the value of approximately GBP13.5m, of which GBP5.7m had been received by the end of June 2021 with most of the GBP7.8m balance expected by the end of June 2022. Most of the inventory payments required to deliver those contracts have already been made.

The Group has a growing pipeline of future sales (see above) with 57.2MWh of potential new contracts in Base and Upside and a further 262.6 MWh in Pipeline. This continued increase has largely been driven by the rapidly improving macro environment, both in terms of total addressable market and active and growing government support in its key markets.

The Group continually reviews its funding position and the funding options that are available to it. Based on this ongoing review and subject to the near-term rate of customer deliveries and new closed contracts, the Group expects to require additional finance within the next six months, assuming the continued rate of growth. The expectation is that additional finance will be available from both equity and non-equity sources or a combination of the two.

Having taken all of the above factors into account, the directors continue to believe it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis, noting the material uncertainty arising from the need to secure additional funding within the coming months.

Financial outlook

The outlook for the Group remains positive both at a Group level and a macro level.

At the Group level, a further GBP7.8m of receipts are expected on closed contracts and revenue for most of those contracts is expected to be recognised in the second half of this year. Site delays (see above) at Yadlamalka mean that the revenue, of about GBP6.7m, is unlikely to be recognised on that contract until 2022.

At a macro level, the growing imperative for a utility grade alternative to lithium places the Group in exactly the right place to take full advantage both in the near term and beyond.

Notes

(forming part of the of the consolidated historical financial information)

1 General information

Invinity Energy Systems plc (the 'company') is a public limited company incorporated in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. The company's registered address is 3rd floor, Standard Bank House, 47-49 La Motte Street, St. Helier, Jersey, JE2 4SZ. The company is listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol IES.L.

The principal activities of the company and its subsidiaries (together, the 'Group') relate to the manufacture and sale of vanadium flow battery systems together with associated installation, warranty and other services.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six-months ended 30 June 2021 (the 'interim financial information') has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting' as adopted by the European Union. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, that were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

The annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 are available on the company's website (www.invinity.com).

This interim financial information has been prepared using the historical cost basis of accounting. The accounting policies applied across all the Group's subsidiaries when preparing the financial information are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. The accounting policies have been consistently applied across all Group entities for the purpose of producing this interim financial information.

The financial information included in this document does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 are not the company's statutory accounts for that financial year within the meaning of Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. Those accounts have been reported on by the company's auditors and delivered to the Jersey Financial Services Commission.

The report of the auditors included in the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 was unqualified. However, the auditors' report did contain an emphasis of matter related to the application of the going concern basis of preparation.

The Group's business activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are set out in the operations and financial review sections of this report.

The financial position of the Group, its cash flows and liquidity position are described in the financial review section.

Going concern

The Group is debt free and had cash balances of GBP10.9m and GBP6.1m at the end of June 2021 and August 2021 respectively. It has closed contracts to the value of approximately GBP13.5m, of which GBP5.7m had been received by the end of June 2021 with most of the GBP7.8m balance expected by the end of June 2022. Most of the inventory payments required to deliver those contracts have already been made.

The Group has a growing pipeline of future sales (see above) with 57.2MWh of potential new contracts in Base and Upside and a further 262.6 MWh in Pipeline. This continued increase has largely been driven by the rapidly improving macro environment, both in terms of total addressable market and active and growing government support in its key markets.

The Group continually reviews its funding position and the funding options that are available to it. Based on this ongoing review and subject to the near-term rate of customer deliveries and new closed contracts, the Group expects to require additional finance within the next six months, assuming the continued rate of growth. The expectation is that additional finance will be available from both equity and non-equity sources or a combination of the two.

Having taken all of the above factors into account, the directors continue to believe it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis, noting the material uncertainty arising from the need to secure additional funding within the coming months.

Estimates and judgements

The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of items of income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this interim financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. Similarly, the key sources of estimation uncertainty related to the financial information were the same as those encountered when applying the Group's accounting policies in relation to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Principal risks and uncertainties

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial information management is required to consider the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group. In management's opinion the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are unchanged since the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. Those risks and uncertainties, together with management's response to them are described in the risk review section of the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in this condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Reclassification of prior year figures

Comparative figures for June 2020 have been restated, where necessary, to conform with the presentation of this period and 31 December 2020 results.

Warranty provision

The warranty provision represents management's best estimate of the costs anticipated to be incurred related to known warranty claims from customers in respect of products sold that remain in their warranty period. It also includes a best estimate of the costs expected to be incurred in respect of claims that may arise in the future related to products already sold to customers.

The estimate of future warranty costs is updated periodically based on the company's actual experience of warranty claims from customers. The element of the provision that is related to potential future claims is based on management's experience and is judgemental in nature. As for any product warranty, there is an inherent uncertainty around the likelihood and timing of a fault occurring that would cause further work to be undertaken or the replacement of equipment parts.

A standard warranty of up to two years from the date of commissioning is provided to all customers on products sold and is included in the original cost of the product. Customers are also able to purchase extended warranties that extend the warranty period for up to a total of ten years.

Provision for contract losses

A provision is established for contract losses when it becomes known that a commercial contract has become onerous. A contract is onerous when the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the company's obligations under a contract are greater than the revenue that will be earned from the contract.

The unavoidable costs of fulfilling contract obligations will include both direct and indirect costs. Any provision made for contract losses will similarly include provision for both direct and indirect costs to fulfil the company's remaining obligations under a contract.

The creation of an additional provision is recognised immediately in profit and loss. The provision is used to offset costs that are incurred as the contract moves to completion.

-------------------------------------------  -----------  -----------  ------------- 
 

Additional potential shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share primarily relate to potential shares that may be issued in satisfaction of in-the-money employee share options. In addition, potentially dilutive shares also relate to warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares in the company that were issued for services or related to financing transactions that have an exercise price lower than the quoted share price and remain outstanding at the relevant period end.

Where additional potential shares have an anti-dilutive impact on the calculation of loss per share calculation, such potential shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation.

Additional potential shares are anti-dilutive where their inclusion in the calculation of loss per share results in a lower loss per share.

Goodwill

The opening goodwill balance on 1 January 2021 represents goodwill recognised in the year ended 31 December 2015 on the completion of the step acquisition by the company of Renewable Energy Dynamics Holdings Limited (REDH), the holding company for the redT energy storage business and goodwill related to the business combination transaction with Avalon that completed on 1 April 2020.

All goodwill is tested annually for potential impairment. At 30 June 2021, goodwill was tested for impairment using a fair value less costs of disposal methodology by reference to the company's quoted market capitalisation using the price of 117 pence per share at that date. No impairment loss was identified in relation to goodwill.

Patents and certifications

Patents and certification acquired in the 1 April 2020 merger transaction with Avalon were stated at their assessed fair value in the purchase price allocation used for consolidation accounting. There have been no events or circumstances since the merger that would indicate that the carrying value of patents and certifications may be impaired at 30 June 2021.

Development Costs

The development costs represent costs associated with the redT Gen 3 vanadium flow battery that has been superseded by the Invinity VS3 battery system were impaired in full in the period ended 31 December 2020.
