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
£0.6m 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 £8.54m (H1 2022: £9.01m).
In H1 2023, there was a 2% increase in Fleet & Optimisation revenues to
£4.90m and a reduction of 13% in Insurance revenues to £3.63m. 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 £1.6m with overall connections 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 £0.10m (H1 2022: loss £1.08m),
Profit before Tax of £13k (H1 2022: loss £2.41m) and Profit after Tax of
£0.10m (H1 2022: loss £1.78m).
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, our 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 £5.23m and represent 61% of the Group's overall revenues. In
addition, the Group generated £0.20m of software revenues (H1 2022: £0.12m),
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 £913k compared to the previous financial
period.
Financial position
Cash generation from operations was £2.35m (H1 2022: £1.44m) and as at 30
September 2023, the Group's net bank debt, excluding the impact of the IFRS16
lease liability, was £5.57m (H1 2022 £6.24m), representing a reduction of
£0.05m compared to the end the previous financial year. The capital
investment project for our second data centre of £0.5m increased debt by
£0.2m 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 £0.87m of
cash on hand and a further £0.50m of available funds under an existing
overdraft facility.
The overall cash outflow for the financial period was £0.25m (H1 2022: inflow
of £0.29m).
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 £2.1m per annum and have implemented the investment
in a second data centre, which will reduce our hosting costs by £0.6m 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. (http://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.
The Board as the CODM review the revenue streams of Integrated Fleet,
Optimisation, Insurance and Automotive Solutions (Solutions) as part of their
internal reporting. Solutions represents the sale of the Group's full vehicle
telematics and optimisation services, engineering services, professional
services and mapping solutions to customers.
A breakdown of revenue within these streams are as follows: Six months to Six months to Year to
