Review of operations by the Chief Executive Officer
31 December 2022
Cordel Group Plc ("the Group") the Artificial Intelligence platform for
transport corridor analytics offers a patented cloud-based platform for master
data management and business analytics. Together with specialist hardware and
software for capturing, analysing and reporting on large datasets within the
transport and infrastructure sectors, employing sophisticated artificial
intelligence algorithms.
Overview of results
During the half year ended 31 December 2022, the Company secured a significant
new contract with Angel Trains, further strengthening our position in the UK
rail market. The Company's engagement with USA railroads continues to
improve, particularly following the release of our Automated Intelligent
Clearance solution on 22 November 2022. Railways worldwide are seeking to
replace dangerous human track inspections and reduce the carbon footprint of
traditional clearance measurement methods, which include heavy and slow
inspection trains.
The Company has simplified its operating structure by consolidating its
Airsight Australia and Nextcore activities into Cordel operations. The
primary investment focus is continuing the development of the Cordel
Artificial Intelligence analytics platform.
Revenue for the half year is summarised as follows:
Six Months to Six Months to Change
31 December 2022 31 December 2021
£ '000 £ '000
Airsight 0 229
NextCore 116 194 -40%
Cordel 829 206 +302%
Total Revenue 945 629 +50%
Underlying EBITDA for the period was a loss of £0.789 million.
Ongoing operations
The Company operates from offices in London, UK and Newcastle, Australia with
staff in these locations and in the USA. The Company has customers in
Australia, UK, Japan and the USA. As of 31 December 2022, the Company had
cash and receivables totalling £0.673 million.
Outlook
The Company continues to be awarded new contracts following competitive bid
processes. This results in steady growth of the total mileage of railway track
under long-term data management and, combined with new analytic services
released in 2022 and planned for 2023, is expected to produce further growth
in recurring revenue.

million to £0.075 million.

performance. A reconciliation between the reported loss before tax and
