Year End Results - FY2024

 

Global regulatory momentum drives revenue growth in line with market
expectations

 

 

Seeing Machines Limited (AIM: SEE, "Seeing Machines" or the "Company"), 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 2024 ("FY2024" or "the period").

 

Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines, commented: "Despite broader market
dynamics in the Automotive sector, our business continues to gain momentum and
meet expectations on both revenue and cash. The Group's performance has been
supported by favourable regulatory tailwinds as the global market for driver
and occupant monitoring systems matures, further boosting demand across all
our targeted transport sectors and driving our growth prospects.

 

We have delivered double-digit revenue growth, supported by increased
high-margin royalty revenue as cars on road with our technology increased 100%
compared to the previous 12 months, and an ongoing ramp up of cars in
production is anticipated. Coupled with the broader launch of Guardian
Generation 3, expected to deliver significantly higher margins compared to its
predecessor, this trend of higher margin growth is set to continue.

 

Seeing Machines' ability to successfully deliver projects is also evident in
our production volumes, with over 2.2 million cars equipped with our
technology on the road as of June 2024-what we believe to be the highest
market share in Automotive DMS today. This achievement directly supports our
core mission of ensuring people get home safely, and I'm proud to see these
statistics reflect that commitment.

 

Our focus remains on reducing operating costs, as achieving cash flow
break-even is our top priority and we are reaffirming our expectation to
achieve a cash flow break-even run rate in FY2025. By delivering efficiencies
and a disciplined approach to management, I'm confident that we will be able
to successfully navigate increasing geopolitical complexity, to deliver strong
medium- and long-term performance.

 

The business has had a good start to FY2025, and revenue is on track within
the consensus range."

OEM division

 

At the end of FY2024, Seeing Machines had 7 automotive programs in production,
and over 2.2 million cars on the road featuring its DMS technology, an
increase of 104% from 12 months ago. Seeing Machines is now engaged with 11
OEMs on 18 expanding programs with a cumulative total initial lifetime revenue
of $392 million, most of which is expected to be recognised over the period to
2028.

 

During the financial year the OEM business was strengthened through both a
deepening of its collaborations with Magna and Valeo and also as a result of
securing two new Automotive programs with both a new and an existing OEM.

 

At the end of the prior financial year, the Group diversified its exposure to
other industries beyond Automotive by entering into an exclusive license and
development agreement with Collins Aerospace in the Aviation sector. This has
generated both licensing and non-recurring engineering revenue being
recognised during this financial year.

 OEM Adjusted EBITDA         (19,051)  (14,682)  (30%)

 

·   Royalty revenues, derived from installation of Seeing Machines' Driver
Monitoring System (DMS) technology, and represent very high margin revenue.
Despite the backdrop of slower OEM production across the globe, the Group
achieved a 100%+ increase in cars on road fitted with our technology compared
with the prior year, resulting in royalty volumes increasing by 76% and
revenues increasing by 40%. This ramp up is expected to continue as Automotive
programs become the dominant source of revenue for the business unit.

 

·     Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) revenue is software development
activities undertaken to embed DMS technologies into the specific OEM
configuration, and the increase represents additional programs and development
work undertaken in the current financial year. NRE revenue, although at a
lower margin itself, is a leading indicator of future high-margin royalty
revenue.

 

·     Revenue from license fees was earned from exclusive collaboration
agreements with Magna Electronics and Collins Aerospace and reflects the
volume of work undertaken during the year to fulfil those agreements. The
nature of this type of revenue generally means that each agreement is unique
and one-off. This revenue attracts a high margin.

 

·     Adjusted EBITDA represents the EBITDA earned by the division after
adjusting for capitalised research and development expenditure and allocating
corporate costs and overheads. The measure is a proxy for the cash earned or
used by the division during the year.  A lower mix of high margin revenue,
contributed to a 30% decline in adjusted EBITDA for the year, which was also
impacted by an increase of investment in research and development costs,
particularly during the first half of the year.

 

Aftermarket division

 

Seeing Machines' Guardian technology is now connected to over 62,000
individual vehicles, representing 19% year on year growth, with those vehicles
having travelled over 17 billion kilometres.

 

During FY2024, the company launched Guardian Generation 3 to commercial
vehicle manufacturers in Europe in support of the General Safety Regulation
(GSR) requirements to detect driver drowsiness, required in all new vehicles
on the road in Europe from July 2024.  These requirements will escalate to
include distraction for all new vehicles from July 2026.

 

The advent of these regulations opens up a new market segment for Seeing
Machines known as After Manufacture (factory-fit). Since the end of FY2024,
two OEMs have successfully achieved vehicle homologation, including the
installation of Guardian Generation 3, allowing them to incorporate the
technology into their vehicles after manufacture but prior to the vehicles
being sold as compliant with the GSR.

 

Guardian Generation 3 will also underpin expansion in the US market for
traditional aftermarket (retrofit) opportunities.

 

The Company also signed a new 5-Year Master License and Marketing Agreement
with mining company Caterpillar Inc, which created new opportunities for the
Company to sell its Guardian product to mining related on-highway vehicles,
previously exclusive to Caterpillar, while supplying smarter and more
competitive products to the heavy equipment sector.

 Aftermarket Adjusted EBITDA             (19,832)  (18,082)  (10%)

 

·   Driver monitoring revenue represents the high margin recurring revenue
generated from Guardian connections with revenue increasing by 12% and
connected units increasing by 19% to 62,010 units in June 2024 (FY2023:
51,975).

 

·     Hardware and installation revenue from the sale and installation
of Guardian units saw growth of 30% as the majority of the remaining inventory
of Generation 2 units were sold, making way for the new higher margin
Generation 3 units which began production during the period.

 

·     Royalties continued to be generated from the agreement with
Caterpillar, Inc, and saw growth as Caterpillar refocused on this segment of
their business.  As the previous arrangement with Caterpillar came to an end
in June 2024, the Group entered into a new five-year license Agreement which
included an upfront license payment of $16,500,000 related to Guardian
technology.  As a result, $5,000,000 licensing revenue (FY2023: nil) was
recognised during the year from Caterpillar.

 

·    Non-recurring engineering revenue relates to technology development
and consulting projects with Caterpillar. The decrease in revenue represents a
reduction in project activity as existing projects were completed and entered
extended final phases of completion.

 

·      Adjusted EBITDA declined by 10% for the period reflecting
investment for the final stages of the Generation 3 product which was launched
during the year. Additional costs were also incurred to expand the global
sales team and make investments in infrastructure and people to scale the
division in readiness for further growth now that the Generation 3 product is
launched.  Margins on the outgoing Generation 2 product also saw a decline as
a result of continued unfavourable foreign exchange conditions.

 

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased across the entire business from $28,898,000 in FY2023
to $31,525,000 in FY2024 although the gross profit margin declined by 3% year
on year from 50% in FY2023 to 47% in FY2024. The reduction in gross profit
margin was largely due to sales mix changes compared to the prior year with a
lower proportion of revenue from license fees and a higher proportion of lower
margin hardware revenue.

 

Expenditure

 

The Group continued to invest in its core technology development to further
strengthen its competitive moat, rapidly expand features and leverage its
systems approach across global OEM and Aftermarket industries. Including the
generation 3 investment, the Company incurred total research and development
expenses of $41,403,000 (FY2023: $34,949,000) during the year ended 30 June
2024 of which $22,868,000 (FY2023: $23,685,000) was capitalised.

 General and administration expenses                           15,284   12,938   18%
 Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortisation)  49,471   39,571   25%

 Operating expenses                                            58,452   43,544   34%

 

Operating expenses increased compared to last year which was due to additional
(non-cash) amortisation for development costs, development resources for OEM
customer projects, investment in the Aftermarket operations as discussed
above, and an expanded global Aftermarket sales team.

 

During the year, several customer projects were completed resulting in a
reduction in outsourced development resource capacity. This contributed to
operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization reducing by 6% in
the second half of the financial year compared to the first half. Operating
expenses included $1,114,000 (FY2023: nil) related to one-off restructuring
expenses ($738,000) and acquisition costs related to Asaphus Vision GmbH
($376,000). Excluding these one-off restructuring and acquisition costs, the
second half operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization reduced
by 9% compared to the first half of the financial year.

 

As a result of these factors, the loss for the year ended 30 June 2024
increased by $15,728,000 to $31,276,000 (FY2023 loss: $15,548,000).

 

Working capital management

 

After adjusting for the receipts from one-off licensing arrangements,
cashflows from operating and investing activities have improved significantly
year on year, mainly as a result of a strong focus on working capital
management.

 

                                                               30 June       30 June

                                                               2024          2023
                                                               $'000         $'000

 Net cash flows from/ (used in) operating activities           12,052        (25,039)
 Net cash flows used in investing activities                   (23,996)      (25,628)
 Net cash flows used in operating and investing activities     (11,944)      (50,667)

 Less: cash from one-off licensing arrangements                (25,250)      (10,000)
                                                               (37,194)      (60,667)

 

Inventories reduced during the year by $7,566,000 with all deliveries of
Generation 2 Guardian units received and the majority of units sold by year
end. The supply chain model for Generation 3 units will result in lower
inventories being held in future periods.  Trade and other receivables
reduced compared to June 2023, with a significant overdue balance being paid
after 30 June 2024.

 

At year end, trade and other payables balance increased primarily as a result
of extended credit terms being negotiated for final deliveries of Guardian
Generation 2 units, which were largely sold prior to year-end with the
proceeds included within the trade and other receivables balance.

 

Going concern

 

The attached annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2024 contains
an independent auditor's report which highlights the existence of a material
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to
continue as a going concern. For further information, refer to Note 34(b) to
the financial statements, together with the auditor's report.

 

Industry update

 

As transport regulators around the world continue to try keep up with
technological advancements and strive to enhance safety on roads, Seeing
Machines is well positioned to benefit from supportive regulatory tailwinds as
its core technology, underpinned by its purpose of getting home safely, has
become a key regulatory focus.

 

Touted as the next 'seat belt', driver and occupant monitoring system
(DMS/OMS) technology is set to become commonplace in cars and all road-going
vehicles globally, to help reduce accidents by mitigating risks associated
with drowsy and distracted driving.

 

In China, requirements for safety technologies, including DMS, are already in
place. In Europe, the General Safety Regulation (GSR) requiring driver
monitoring came into effect in July 2024. Further, the protocols set by
Europe's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) also play a crucial role in driving
global safety technology advancements as they continue to develop their
roadmap, increasing standards over time to improve safety.

 

In the United States, the regulatory landscape is evolving to increase
emphasis on integrating advanced driver safety technologies into vehicles.
These developments are part of a broader effort by lawmakers and safety
agencies to address the growing concerns around road safety and the impact of
modern vehicle features on driver behaviour.

 

These regulatory tailwinds are now influencing and supporting robust growth in
vehicles in production with the Company's technology installed. The influence
of Level 2+ automation, where two or more aspects of driving are controlled by
technology, is also notable particularly in the North American market where
regulators are responding to accidents caused by advanced features that may
endanger driver safety.

 

This momentum is set to continue, and the Company expects to see significant
growth in high-margin royalty revenue into FY2025 and beyond as ongoing
automotive programs start production, and OEMs meet these requirements across
more of their car lines in Europe and around the world.

 

In the aviation sector, the company works exclusively with Collins Aerospace,
a Raytheon company and the world's largest Tier 1 Avionics company. This
partnership continues to mature as the development of the launch product moves
forward. Pilot and crew support in simulators and cockpits is the key focus
for enhanced safety and efficiency and Seeing Machines, a pioneer in this
space, is set to secure a leadership path across this rapidly expanding
industry, in partnership with Collins.

 

Other highlights

 

Post period end, Seeing Machines acquired Berlin-based Asaphus Vision GmbH,
providing a European team located close to its European customer base, and
enhancing its interior sensing capabilities with AI expertise and specialised
data, critical to the continued development of the Company's feature
technology roadmap.

 

The Seeing Machines board was further strengthened with the appointment of
Stephane Vedie, a North American based Automotive industry veteran.

 

Finally, Seeing Machines was honoured to receive the prestigious Prince
Michael of Kent Safety Award 2023, one of the highest accolades in the field,
testament to the commitment of the Company to its purpose of getting people
home safely.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
