transport corridor analytics, announces unaudited results for the six months
ending 31 December 2023.

                 31 Dec 2023    31 Dec 2022                         (constant currency*)

*Constant currency reflects the results had the underlying transactional
currencies, (i.e. USD, AUD and GBP) remained constant across the full
financial year.

 

Highlights:

●     Total revenue increased by 108% in reported currency and 111% at
constant currency.

●     Cost of sales increased by 245% (233% constant currency) due to an
increased proportion of hardware vs software and services in new contracts in
the half year.

●    Total expenses increased by 16% (27% at constant currency) as the
Group executed on its strategy to invest in growth.

●     As at 31 December 2023, cash balance was £1,191,528 compared with
£1,283,463 at 30 June 2023.

●   Total assets as at 31 December 2023 were £4,358,514 whilst net assets
were      £3,081,296 compared with £4,823,403 and £3,799,076,
respectively, as at 30 June 2023.

●     UK achievements during the period included further development of
new business initiatives with our key partner Angel Trains in the field of
Unmanned Geometry, detection of vegetation infringements and prevention of
overhead line obstruction, a new Data-as-a-Service contract with High Speed
One ("HS1") and the move to live production for the Network Rail Railway
Gauging Data Solution ("RGDS") system.

●     USA achievements included a new contract in Mexico in partnership
with Holland LP and continued, on-schedule progress with the Amtrak contract
announced last year.

●     Australia achievements included the extension of the Australian
Rail Track Corporation ("ARTC") contract and a Level Crossing Safety Research
project with National Transport Research Organisation ("NTRO").

 

Ian Buddery, Chairman, Cordel, said: "The interim results show very pleasing
growth compared to the corresponding period last year, with sales momentum
building in all markets. The delivery of a LiDAR unit in Mexico and hardware
units supporting our Angel partnership reduced our normal operating margin,
but this is expected to balance out positively in the second half as software
and Data-as-a-Service components are delivered for these projects.

During the period, we added new sales, business development and technical
support staff in the USA and UK and are delighted with the resulting uplift in
market engagement, which gives us confidence for continuing success in 2024
and beyond. As always, we take care to balance the requirements of growth
opportunities while maintaining adequate cash reserves."

Cordel Group PLC

Review of operations by the Chief Executive Officer

31 December 2023

 

Cordel Group PLC ("the Group"), the developer of 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 2023, the Company secured an extension
of its partnership with Angel Trains tackling new use cases in Unmanned
Geometry, quantified vegetation trending and overhead line obstruction
prevention, further strengthening our position in the UK rail market. We have
also secured a new Data-as-a-service contract with High Speed One and moved
our Network Rail RGDS system into live production. In the USA, we have secured
a new contract in Mexico in partnership with Holland LP and our delivery to
Amtrak as part of the contract announced earlier in 2023 is progressing on
track. We have recruited a new team in the USA and we are already seeing the
benefits of their genuine industry knowledge and experience and deeper
connections with Tier 1 and Tier 2 railroads. We remain optimistic about the
global opportunity for Cordel's services. Railroads worldwide want to use
digital analysis to optimise inspection and maintenance to create safer, more
efficient and sustainable railways.

The Company has simplified its operating structure by focusing all resources
into Cordel operations and discontinuing Airsight Australia and Nextcore
activities. The primary growth opportunity and investment focus is continuing
the development and commercialisation of the Cordel Artificial Intelligence
analytics platform.

Revenue for the half year is summarised as follows:

 Total Revenue  1,961              945                    108%

 

Ongoing operations

The Group 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, the USA and Mexico.  As of 31 December 2023, the Company had
cash and receivables totalling £2.7m.

Outlook

The Company continues to be awarded new contracts following competitive bid
processes. This results in a steady growth of the total mileage of railway
track under long-term data management and, combined with new analytic services
released in 2023 and planned for 2024, is expected to produce further growth
in recurring revenue.

The above consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue for the period increased by 108% to £1.96m.

 

Direct cost of sales

 

Direct cost of sales increased by £656k to £924k due to an increased
proportion of hardware vs software and services in new contracts in the half
year. Gross margin fell from 72% to 53% as a result but this is expected to
balance out in the full year.

 

Operating expenses

Overall operating expenses increased by £237k compared to the prior
corresponding period. An increase of staff expenses of £291k reflects the
investment in strategic new hires the Group has made. As at 31 December 2023,
Cordel had 35 employees in Australia, the UK and USA; an increase of 10
employees compared to the same period in the previous year.

 

Other operating costs were largely flat with small decreases in depreciation
and amortisation costs offset by slightly higher occupancy costs.

 

Other income of £141k relates to refundable R&D tax offset as well as
income received for grant-funded projects.

 

Underlying EBITDA (excluding one-off items) was a loss of £574k, an
improvement of 27% on the prior period. This excludes £92k of obsolete
inventory written off following the discontinuation of Nextcore operations.

 

The loss after tax for the period was £715k, an improvement of 16% compared
to a loss of £855k in the corresponding period to 31 December 2022.

 

Balance sheet, cash and working capital

The Group balance sheet shows cash resources of £1.19 million million and
receivables of £1.55 million as at 31 December 2023. Net cash inflow from
operating activities was £0.09 million.

 

Underlying basis of EBITDA

The Group manages its operations by looking at the underlying EBITDA which
excludes the impact of one-off and non-cash items as this, in the Board's
opinion, provides a more representative measure of the Group's performance. A
reconciliation between the reported loss before tax and underlying EBITDA is
included at Note 6 to the financial statements.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the period ended 31 December 2023

 

Note 1. General information

 

Cordel Group plc is a public company, registered in England and Wales and
listed on the Alternative Investment Market ('AIM').

 

Its registered office and principal place of business are:

 

Registered office
 
Principal place of business

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal
activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the
financial statements. The financial statements were authorised for issue, in
accordance with a resolution of directors, on 22 January 2024. The directors
have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

 

These financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31
December 2023 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standards IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

 

These interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type
normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial
statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year
ended 30 June 2023 and any public announcements made by the Company during the
interim reporting period.

 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and
Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that
are mandatory for the current reporting period.   Any new or amended
Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not
been early adopted.

 

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Group will continue
as a going concern. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is
ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future. In
assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the directors
have considered the Group's existing working capital and are of the opinion
that the Group has adequate resources to undertake its planned program of
activities for the 12 months from the date of approval of these financial
statements.

 

Note 3. Operating segments

 

Identification of reportable operating segments

The Group operates in one segment being provision of data integration and
analytic services. This operating segment is based on the internal reports
that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as
the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in
determining the allocation of resources.

 

The operating segment information is the same information as provided
throughout the consolidated financial statements and are therefore not
duplicated.
