RNS Number : 7106V  Global Invacom Group Limited  12 August 2022

 

Global Invacom Group Limited

("Global Invacom", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Results for the six months ended 30 June 2022

 

Singapore/London, 12 August 2022 - Global Invacom Group Limited (SGX: QS9)
(AIM: GINV), the global provider of satellite communications equipment and
electronics, is pleased to announce its financial results for the six months
ended 30 June 2022 ("1H FY2022").

 

Key financial highlights:

 

·    Revenue for 1H FY2022 of US$37.4m (1H FY2021: US$40.4m)

·    Gross Profit for 1H FY2022 of US$7.4m (1H FY2021: US$8.8m)

·    Net loss for 1H FY2022 of US$3.3m (1H FY2021: US$1.2m net loss)

·    Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2022 of US$10.0m (31 December
2021: US$10.8m)

 

Key operational highlights:

 

·    Shortage of semiconductors globally, alongside material availability,
price increases and labour challenges, continues to impact the Company's
ability to satisfy existing orders and has impacted revenue growth in the
period

·    The Group has embarked on a business review exercise, to better
manage our operations, and to improve the performance of the Group

·    The Group's partnership with Methera Global Communications Limited
("Methera") and its subcontractors, announced in October 2021, is progressing
well

·    In the first half of 2022, launched latest Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition ("SCADA") products for hubs and remote locations

·    In May 2022, launched innovative Mini-Global Navigation Satellite
System repeater kit, increasing the Group's footprint in the commercial,
military and aviation markets

 

Global Invacom remains well positioned to capitalise on the expected growth
opportunities in the Data Over Satellite ("DOS") market, as well as the
normalisation of remote working, with individuals and workforces around the
globe now increasingly dependent on reliable connectivity for their daily
lives.

 

The Group delivered sales of US$37.4 million in the first half of the year,
versus US$40.4 million in 1H FY2021. This decrease was due to the shortage of
semiconductors globally which continues to impact the Company's ability to
satisfy existing orders and generate associated additional revenue as well as
the delay in the launch of Jupiter 3. Furthermore, the Group continues to be
impacted by cost price increases, compounded by labour challenges as well as
business challenges faced by our customers.

 

The Group continues to assess its cost base to streamline certain core
functions and continues to reduce administrative costs, whilst not impacting
its offering to customers.

Research and development continue to be an area of importance for management
with ongoing focus on product development, underpinning Global Invacom's
market-leading position in the satellite communications equipment and
electronics sector.

 

DOS remains a key product category for Global Invacom, with the accelerated
demand for dependable and affordable DOS devices across a wide range of
industries, including the healthcare and defence sectors, showing no signs of
abating. Consequently, the Group introduced new SCADA products for hubs and
remote locations which continue Global Invacom's legacy of developing
world-leading satellite communications ground equipment. New products launched
include antennas and Very-small-aperture Terminal ("VSAT") transceivers,
alongside advanced Radio Frequency ("RF") equipment designed and manufactured
by Global Skyware.

 

These new equipment bundles create a straightforward set up to receive and
transmit signals for a full private networking solution, capable of reaching
any SCADA and Machine-to-machine ("M2M") Telemetry site. It is compatible with
both Internet Protocol ("IP") and legacy serial devices, and operates
independently from terrestrial communications systems, thus providing
dedicated and secure data communications for mission-critical traffic.

 

In addition to the development of new satellite communications ground
equipment bundles, Global Invacom's subsidiary OnePath Networks Limited,
trading as Global Foxcom, broadened its range of Satcom Repeater solutions
with the launch of its innovative Mini-Global Navigation Satellite System
("GNSS") repeater kit, increasing its footprint in the commercial, military
and aviation markets.

 

The Group's partnership with Methera and its subcontractors, announced in
October 2021, is progressing well, and Global Invacom remains on track to
deliver Ka-band user terminals to market in 2024 to help meet the fast-growing
demand for connectivity to non-geostationary satellite orbit constellations,
leveraging funding awarded by the European Space Agency.

 

 Given the market challenges that the Group has faced over the past two years
and what may become "new normals", the Group has embarked on a business review
exercise, to better manage our operations, and to improve the performance of
the Group.

 

Tony Taylor, Executive Chairman of Global Invacom, commented:

 

"Trading across the first six months of the year has not been without its
challenges, as we continue to adjust to the ongoing shortages for
semiconductors globally, alongside inflationary pressures across our business.
These factors are not unique to our business, and we continue to drive the
Company forward, which for us means an unrivalled commitment to our customers
to remain at the cutting edge of innovation and product development.

 

Whilst we are fully aware the broader macro picture will take time to improve,
Global Invacom remains well placed to capitalise on the growing demand for
satellite communications services globally."

2.      Basis of Preparation

 

The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June
2022 have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting
Standards (International) ("SFRS(I)") 1-34 Interim Financial Reporting issued
by the Accounting Standards Council Singapore. The condensed interim financial

financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to
explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of
the changes in the Group's financial position and performance of the Group
since the last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2021.

 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous
financial year which were prepared in accordance with SFRS(I)s and
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), except for the adoption
of new and amended standards as set out in Note 2.1.

 

The condensed interim financial statements are presented in United States

2.1    New and amended standards adopted by the Group

 

There has been no change in the accounting policies and methods of computation
adopted by the Group for the current reporting period compared with the
audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except for
the adoption of new or revised SFRS(I) and interpretations of SFRS(I) ("INT
SFRS(I)") that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on or after 1
January 2022. The adoption of these SFRS(I) and INT SFRS(I) has no significant
impact on the Group.

 

2.2    Use of judgements and estimates

 

In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, management has made
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income
and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's
accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the
same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and
for the year ended 31 December 2021.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that
have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial
statements is included in the following notes:

 

·      Note 9 - capitalised development costs

·      Note 11 - impairment test on property, plant and equipment

Group Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2022 and the related

2.      Review of Performance of the Group

 

2.1    Review of Financial Performance

 

Revenue

 

The Group's revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2022 ("1H FY2022")
decreased by 7.5% to US$37.4 million from US$40.4 million in the prior year
("1H FY2021"). The ongoing shortage of semiconductors globally and the delay
in the launch of Jupiter 3 continues to impact the Group's ability to satisfy
existing orders and generate associated additional revenue.

 

Geographically, the Group's revenue for 1H FY2022 decreased in America by
US$5.8 million (-24.9%), partially offset by an increase in Europe, Asia and
Rest of the World by US$0.5 million (+4.5%), US$0.01 million (+0.8%) and
US$2.3 million (+44.4%), respectively.

 

Gross Profit

 

The decrease in revenue has resulted in a 16.1% decrease in gross profit from
US$8.8 million in 1H FY2021 to US$7.4 million in 1H FY2022. Gross profit
margin has decreased marginally by 2.0 percentage points from 21.7% to 19.7%,
impacted by cost price increases, compounded by labour shortages.

 

Other Income

 

Other income in 1H FY2022 were mainly from gains on the disposal of equipment
and foreign exchange gains. Other income in 1H FY2021 were mainly from gains
on the disposal of equipment of US$1.1 million, gain on lease modifications of
US$0.2 million, with the remainder comprised subsidy support received from
various government bodies across the Group due to the pandemic.

 

Administrative and Research and Development Expenses

 

Administrative expenses, together with research and development expenses, for
1H FY2022 decreased 7.4% to US$10.1 million compared to US$10.9 million in 1H
FY2021, representing 26.9% of revenue in both periods. The ongoing cost
control measures across the Group to streamline certain core functions, in
line with the challenging market dynamics, have resulted in lower
administrative expenses being incurred, whilst not impacting its offering to
the customers.

 

Other Operating Expenses

 

Other operating expenses in 1H FY2022 were attributed mainly to impairment
loss on trade receivables and final liquidation fees of a subsidiary in China.

 

Loss Before Tax & Net Loss

 

The Group posted a loss before tax of US$3.3 million in 1H FY2022, compared to
a loss before tax of US$1.1 million in 1H FY2021.

 

Overall, the Group posted a net loss of US$3.3 million in 1H FY2022, compared
to a net loss of US$1.2 million in 1H FY2021.

 

 

 

F.      Other Information Required by Listing Rule Appendix 7.2 (cont'd)

 

 

2.      Review of Performance of the Group (cont'd)

 

2.2    Review of Financial Position

 

Non-current assets decreased by US$1.6 million to US$20.6 million as at 30
June 2022, due to the depreciation of plant and equipment, the right-of-use
assets and the amortisation of intangible assets.

 

Net current assets decreased by US$1.9 million to US$27.2 million as at 30
June 2022 compared to US$29.1 million as at 31 December 2021. Inventories,
trade and other receivables and trade and other payables decreased by US$0.6
million, US$3.9 million and US$2.3 million respectively, with the decrease in
sales. Tax receivables increased by US$0.1 million to US$0.2 million.

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by US$0.8 million to US$10.0 million as at
30 June 2022 from US$10.8 million at 31 December 2021 and borrowings decreased
by US$0.4 million to US$5.7 million as at 30 June 2022 from US$6.1 million as
at 31 December 2021.

 

Repayment of leases has resulted in a decrease of US$0.6 million in the
current portion of lease liabilities and US$0.2 million in the non-current
portion of lease liabilities.

 

The Group's net asset value stood at US$44.1 million as at 30 June 2022,
compared to US$47.4 million as at 31 December 2021.

 

2.3    Review of Cash Flows

 

In 1H FY2022, net cash generated from operating activities amounted to US$0.8
million, comprising US$0.8 million cash outflow from operating activities
(before working capital changes), US$1.9 million net working capital inflow
and US$0.3 million payment of interest and income tax.

 

Net cash used in investing activities in 1H FY2022 amounted to US$0.3 million,
mainly due to the purchase of machinery and equipment, set off against the
proceeds from the disposal of machinery and equipment.

 

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to US$1.3 million in 1H FY2022,
attributable to the repayment of borrowings and lease liabilities.

 

Overall, the Group recorded a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents
amounting to US$0.8 million in 1H FY2022, bringing cash and cash equivalents
per the consolidated statement of cash flows to US$10.0 million as at 30 June
2022.

 

 

3.      Where a forecast, or a prospect statement, has been previously
disclosed to shareholders, any variance between it and the actual results.

 

No prospect statement was made.

 

 

4.      A commentary at the date of the announcement of the significant
trends and competitive conditions of the industry in which the group operates
and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next
reporting period and the next 12 months.

 

The Group's financial and operational performance in the next reporting period
and the next 12 months will continue to be influenced by the much-publicised
shortage of semiconductors globally, which continues to impact the Company's
ability to satisfy existing orders and generate associated additional revenue.
Furthermore, the Group continues to be impacted by cost price increases,
compounded by labour challenges as well as business challenges faced by our
customers.

 

As a direct consequence of the above external factors, the Group continues to
assess its cost base to streamline certain core functions and continues to
reduce administrative costs, whilst not impacting its offering to customers.

 

Given the market challenges that the Group has faced over the past two years
and what may become "new normals", the Group has embarked on a business review
exercise, to better manage our operations, and to improve the performance of
the Group.

Due to the operating conditions faced by the Group, no dividend has been
declared or recommended for the six months ended 30 June 2022.
