RNS Number : 7899A Seeing Machines Limited 25 September 2025
Seeing Machines Limited ("Seeing Machines" or the "Company")
25 September 2025
FY2025 Year End Results
EU General Safety Regulation: Mandatory camera-based DMS in all new vehicles
begins in nine months, driving significant growth for Seeing Machines
Seeing Machines Limited (AIM: SEE), the advanced computer vision technology
company that designs AI-powered operator monitoring systems to improve
transport safety, has published its audited financial results for the year
ended 30 June 2025 ("FY2025" or "the period").
Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines, commented: "We are now seeing the
expected quarterly increase in automotive royalty volumes as the
implementation of the European General Safety Regulation, which mandates
camera-based Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) for all new vehicles across
Europe, comes into force in nine months' time. As the July 2026 deadline
approaches, increasing fitment rates will drive a substantial uplift in
royalty volumes. Our OEM customers are forecast to sell around 12.5 million
new cars in Europe in 2026, all of which will require DMS technology post
deadline. Therefore, as Seeing Machines expects to supply a large portion of
this technology, this quarterly growth is expected to continue in the current
quarter and beyond.
"In the Aftermarket sector, we have begun converting trial customers into
confirmed sales, and our business pipeline-particularly in those markets
offering the greatest opportunities, the Americas and EMEA-is developing
strongly. As we continue to progress through customer trials, engage in
negotiations, and pursue new brand partnerships in collaboration with
Mitsubishi across the Americas and Europe, we are confident that our Guardian
Generation 3 technology is poised for significant growth and market adoption.
Working with Mitsubishi also presents exciting new opportunities in Automotive
and near-term prospects in adjacent sectors like rail, building management,
and factory automation, demonstrating the versatility of our world-leading
technology.
"We are on track to reach cashflow break-even run rate at the end of this
calendar year and are firmly focused on being cashflow positive in the second
half of FY2026 and beyond. Our strategic priorities continue to centre on
sustainable growth and advancing safety technology innovation to get more
people home safely."

OEM Division
Seeing Machines' driver and occupant monitoring technology (DMS/OMS) is now
installed in over 3.7 million vehicles across nine automotive production
programs. The implementation of Europe's General Safety Regulation, which
requires advanced distraction warnings in all new vehicles by July 2026, has
contributed to increased adoption by automakers. The number of vehicles on the
road using Seeing Machines' technology has increased by 69% compared to the
previous year, with further growth expected as the regulatory deadline
approaches. This growth is significant for the Company, as it is associated
with high-margin royalty revenue.
The integration of Asaphus Vision GmbH into the Company has progressed as
planned, with engineering teams collaborating to enhance Seeing Machines' AI
and machine learning capabilities. The acquisition has also resulted in the
establishment of a European headquarters in Berlin.
Collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric Mobility Corporation (MELMB) is
ongoing, with a primary focus on automotive opportunities in Japan and a
secondary focus on global markets.
The Company expects that the General Safety Regulation will continue to
influence current and future projects. Programme awards are anticipated in the
coming months, enabling automakers to meet the increasing demand for advanced
safety technologies, particularly in Europe. Other regions may also adopt
similar standards in the future.
30 June 2025 30 June 2024 Change Change
$'000 $'000 $'000 %
Royalties 14,406 10,632 3,774 35%
Non-recurring engineering 9,383 9,242 141 2%
Licensing 3,188 6,038 (2,850) (47%)
Hardware and installations 978 612 366 60%
OEM Adjusted Revenue 27,955 26,524 1,431 5%
OEM Adjusted EBITDA (15,339) (19,051) 3,712 (19%)
● Royalty revenues, derived from the installation of Seeing Machines' Driver
Monitoring System (DMS) technology, remains a high-margin revenue stream.
During the year, the Group recorded a 36% increase in royalty volumes and a
35% increase in royalty revenue. The introduction of the EU General Safety
Regulation (GSR), which will require Advanced Driver Distraction Warning
(ADDW) in all new vehicles sold in Europe from July 2026, is expected to
further increase adoption of driver monitoring technologies by automotive
OEMs.
● Non-recurring engineering (NRE) revenue relates to software development
activities undertaken to embed DMS technologies into specific OEM
configurations. The increase in NRE revenue for the year reflects
contributions from the newly acquired Asaphus Vision GmbH ($3,454,000), offset
by a reduction in activities for some larger programs that were at or near
completion by the end of June 2025. NRE revenue is typically lower margin and
is considered a leading indicator of future royalty revenue.
● Revenue from license fees was earned from exclusive collaboration agreements
with Magna Electronics (exclusivity period ended 30 June 2025) and Collins
Aerospace, reflecting the volume of work undertaken during the year to fulfil
those agreements. These agreements are generally unique and one-off in nature,
and license fee revenue typically attracts a high margin.
● Adjusted EBITDA loss improved by 19% compared to the prior year, primarily due
to a higher proportion of high-margin revenue and a decrease in research and
development expenditure.
Aftermarket division
Guardian Generation 3 entered full production during the year, with units
being trialled by customers in multiple regions, particularly in the Americas.
In FY2025, global sales of Guardian hardware totalled 5,466 units.
Referral agreements were established with Mitsubishi Electric Automotive
America, Inc. and Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V., supporting Guardian
Generation 3 sales in the Americas and Europe through Mitsubishi's customer
networks.
Guardian Generation 3 received homologation approval from two UK bus
manufacturers in preparation for the new European General Safety Regulation
(GSR) requirements for advanced distraction monitoring by July 2026. The
product is positioned for adoption by commercial vehicle OEMs for
after-manufacture fitment in Europe.
In North America, Guardian Backup-driver Monitoring System (BdMS) continues to
be used in the development of automated vehicle technology. During the year, a
contract valued at $1,135,000 was secured to supply Guardian BdMS to a major
autonomous vehicle company in North America for its test fleet.
30 June 2025 30 June 2024 Change Change
$'000 $'000 $'000 %
Driver monitoring 13,563 12,433 1,130 9%
Hardware and installations 6,435 18,902 (12,467) (66%)
Royalties - 3,463 (3,463) (100%)
Licensing 3,478 5,000 (1,522) (30%)
Non-recurring engineering / Consulting 1,338 1,303 35 3%
Aftermarket Adjusted Revenue 24,814 41,101 (16,287) (40%)
Aftermarket Adjusted EBITDA (14,712) (19,832) 5,120 (26%)
● Driver monitoring revenue represents recurring, high-margin revenue generated
from Guardian connections. Revenue increased by 9% during the year, reflecting
an increase in the number of connected units.
● Hardware and installation revenue from the sale and installation of Guardian
units declined by 66%, primarily due to delays in the production of Generation
3 units. As at 30 June 2025, Generation 3 units were available to meet current
demand and requirements in the global pipeline.
● Royalty revenue agreements with Caterpillar were replaced with a new five-year
license agreement at the end of June 2024.
● NRE revenue relates to technology development and consulting projects with
Caterpillar.
● Adjusted EBITDA losses improved by 26% for the year, primarily due to a higher
mix of high-margin revenue, efficiency in service costs, lower operating
costs, and a reduction in research and development expenditure.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased from $31,525,000 in FY2024 to $39,204,000 in FY2025.
The gross profit margin rose from 47% in FY2024 to 63% in FY2025. This
increase was primarily due to a change in sales mix, with a higher proportion
of revenue from license fees (including royalty revenue) and a lower
proportion of lower margin hardware revenue compared to the prior year.
Service costs for monitoring revenue also decreased compared to the previous
year.
Expenditure
30 June 2025 30 June 2024 Change Change
$'000 $'000 $'000 %
Operations expenses 13,273 14,473 (1,200) (8%)

Capitalised development costs during the period (17,058) (22,868) 5,810 (25%)
Operating expenses 57,936 58,383 (447) (1%)
* Adjusted operating expenses is a non-IFRS measure but included as an
important metric for shareholders understanding of the underlying performance
of the business. Adjusted operating expenses exclude depreciation and
amortisation expense and include capitalised development costs.
Adjusted operating expenses decreased primarily due to a reduction in people
resources, both directly employed and through outsourced contractor roles. The
combined number of full-time equivalent employees and contractors declined
from 509 at 30 June 2024 to 393 at 30 June 2025, including the addition of 34
full-time equivalent employees from the acquisition of Asaphus in July 2024.
Adjusted operating expenses for the year included $2,386,000 (FY2024:
$1,489,000) in one-off costs, comprising restructuring expenses of $2,291,000
(FY2024: $1,113,000) and acquisition costs related to Asaphus Vision GmbH of
$95,000 (FY2024: $376,000). Excluding these one-off costs, adjusted operating
expenses decreased by $10,986,000 (or 16%) compared to the previous financial
year.
Results for the year
As a result of above factors, the loss for the year ended 30 June 2025
decreased by $6,010,000 to $25,266,000 (FY2024 loss: $31,276,000).
Working capital management
After adjusting for the receipts from one-off licensing arrangements,
cashflows from operating and investing activities have improved for the year.
30 June 2025 30 June 2024
$'000 $'000
Net cash flows from/ (used in) operating activities (12,310) 12,052
Net cash flows used in investing activities (17,486) (23,996)

Less: cash from one-off licensing arrangements (3,750) (25,250)
Adjusted cashflows * (33,546) (37,194)
* Adjusted cashflows is a non-IFRS measure but included as an important metric
for shareholders understanding of the underlying performance of the business.
Adjusted cashflows excludes cash from one-off licensing arrangements
Excluding cash received from one-off licensing arrangements, operating
cashflows declined by $2,862,000 during the year. This decline was primarily
attributable to significant payments for inventories, including payments made
to close out remaining Generation 2 units sold in the prior year and payments
for new Generation 3 units to support current demand and the global pipeline.
The reduction in development costs capitalised as intangible assets
contributed to a favourable movement in cashflows from investing activities.
Industry Update
Driver Monitoring System (DMS) Technology Adoption Driven by Regulatory
Developments
The European Union continues to implement regulations that support the
adoption of Driver Monitoring System (DMS) technologies. Under the General
Safety Regulation (GSR), all new vehicle types have been required to include
Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning (DDAW) systems since July 2022. As of
July 2024, this requirement applies to all new vehicles. A further regulation,
Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW), will take effect in July 2026.
This regulation mandates systems capable of monitoring driver eye movements to
detect distraction, necessitating the use of camera-based DMS.
These regulatory measures are intended to reduce road fatalities and improve
driver safety across the EU. The requirement for camera-based systems is
expected to increase the deployment of advanced DMS technologies across both
the aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) segments in Europe.
In addition, the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) has
introduced incentives for DMS adoption by awarding safety points to vehicles
equipped with such systems. This has contributed to increased interest from
OEMs seeking to meet top safety rating criteria.
Outside of Europe, regulatory activity is also progressing. In the United
States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has
proposed rulemaking that includes DMS as a countermeasure for impaired and
distracted driving. The proposed roadmap includes phased implementation,
beginning with detection of distraction and drowsiness, followed by alcohol
impairment monitoring and, ultimately, vehicle-initiated safe stops.
In Australia, regulatory focus is increasing, particularly in relation to
heavy vehicle safety. Meanwhile, China and Japan are advancing toward DMS
mandates, with Japanese OEMs actively working to align with international
standards.
The Company has contributed to policy development through submissions to
NHTSA, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the National Transport
Commission (NTC), and continues to participate in Euro NCAP's Tier 2 working
group on Occupant State Monitoring.
