Highlights
· H1 2024 results:
o Revenues modestly lower, with reduction in Insurance and Automotive offset
partially by Fleet and Optimisation
o Lack of Insurance capacity coupled with customers running down their
existing stocks has heavily impacted new device sales
o Reduction in Insurance connections has negatively impacted recurring
revenues
o Gross margins improved, with strong software sales after expanded
agreement with Iceland and J Sainsbury's Information Systems Ltd
("Sainsbury's") extending its existing contract, due to expire on 31 December
2024, for two years to 31 December 2026
o New convertible loan note issued to fund investment in Driver Risk
solution and boost working capital position
· H2 2024/25 and FY2026 outlook:
o Insurance device sales forecast to continue to be adversely impacted
through Q3 of FY2025, with expectations of volumes increasing in Q4 of FY2025
from both existing and new customers
o Strong pipeline of Fleet & Optimisation opportunities in H2 2024/25
for devices, service and support and software including significant
Optimisation contract which has been previously highlighted
o Expectation for Insurance and Automotive volumes in FY2026 remains
uncertain, but nonetheless should improve on FY2025 performance
Outlook
The Insurance and Automotive markets continue to provide challenging
forecasting conditions. The prospect of volumes of new device sales from both
existing and new customers not increasing until Q4 of FY2025 means that our
expectations are lower than that we had previously forecast for the Insurance
and Automotive business. However, our Fleet and Optimisation business is
forecast to trade well with a strong pipeline of opportunities across all our
solutions, including the previously highlighted Optimisation contract which
remains in our sales process. We hope that this pipeline will offset the
challenges within the Insurance market.
The outcome for the full year therefore remains uncertain with the strength of
recovery in Insurance unknown. However, the Board remains confident of
improving revenues compared to the prior financial year.

Executive Chairman's Statement
Introduction
I present the report of Trakm8's unaudited results for the six months ended 30
September 2024 ("H1 2024").
As noted in the results for the financial year ended 31 March 2024, announced
by the Company on 29 July 2024, the Insurance market continues to provide a
challenging backdrop. This has contributed to another difficult period for the
Group. Despite this, through strong relationships with our customers and our
market-leading products, our Fleet and Optimisation vertical continues to show
progress. This has helped to ensure that the Group's overall H1 2024 results
were broadly in line with the corresponding period for the previous financial
year.
I would like to thank the Trakm8 team which continues to ensure that our
customers' needs are met resulting in positive outcomes across their
businesses.
Markets
We continue to focus on two key markets: Insurance & Automotive as well as
Fleet & Optimisation.
Our Insurance customers continue to see a slower recovery in policy sales than
they had anticipated. The availability of capacity, whilst improving, is slow
to be released for policy sales which, coupled with higher levels of
customers' existing stock holdings being used, has meant that our new device
sales have been heavily impacted for a further reporting period. In addition,
several Insurers have also seen price pressure from competitors again
resulting in lower policy sales and renewals. Insurance telematics continues
to be a necessity for some younger drivers where insurance premiums continue
to rise whilst other markets are now being explored by our customer base
including older drivers and those higher risk drivers who struggle to get
policies from traditional routes.
Automotive saw the launch of the AA Vixa product during the period and volumes
have increased as they roll out advertising and incentives to existing policy
holders. Our Automotive expertise has meant that through our solution we have
helped deliver real time vehicle health information to both the end user and
the AA, ensuring that vehicles are maintained effectively.
Fleet and Optimisation has produced a strong result for the period. Our
solutions for fleets of vehicles continue to deliver cost and risk
improvements with our Optimisation algorithms in particular delivering vast
benefits. With cost increases set to continue for businesses, we believe that
our solutions are well placed to deliver strong returns on investment on fleet
sizes ranging from less than ten to large fleets of thousands. We believe that
most fleets will need to adopt camera technology over the coming years and our
range of cameras caters for most needs which, when coupled with one of our
Insight packages, is expected to deliver the outcomes that our customers
require. We are seeing more prospects and existing customers interested in the
integrated Telematics and Optimisation offering available within the Insight
platform.
Strategy
The Group continues to follow the previously outlined strategy of:
· Increasing our market share
· Delivering a cutting-edge solutions portfolio
· Streamlining our internal operations
Our primary focus is to increase our market share through more device sales,
more connections and higher service fees. The challenging conditions of the
Insurance market were entirely responsible for connections dropping to 243,000
as at 30(th) September 2024 (FY2024: 275,000). With Insurance and Automotive
volumes expected to increase during H2 2024/25, we expect to see this
stabilise and begin to improve as FY2025 comes to an end.
With the introduction of our Fleet Customer Success team, we are ensuring that
our customer base benefits from our latest solutions and can explore
opportunities for expansion of services being delivered, further improving
results in both cost saving and safety. Our strong relationship management
with enterprise customers resulted in further renewals and expansions from
Iceland and Sainsburys which extended for one and two years respectively
during the calendar year.
Our second strategic aim is to continue to build and provide exceptional
solutions. Our focus is to concentrate on fewer significant projects. Whilst
the main development of Insight was completed during previous financial years,
we continue to add functionality to the platform, focusing on our core
competencies of Optimisation, Risk Management and Vehicle Health. Following
the acquisition of a Driver Risk solution early in this financial year, we are
integrating this alongside our existing solution to deliver a market-leading
scoring solution to our entire customer base. Our customers also trust our
solutions in mission critical processes, so we continue to invest in and
improve our security to mitigate external risks wherever possible.
Our third strategic aim has been to improve the efficiencies of our business
in every possible way. Following the implementation of a new data centre, we
continue to look for further savings in this area along with reductions in
other third-party costs to the business. Where possible, we are looking at
automating processes with a particular focus on customer experience to support
our increased market share aspirations.
Financial Results
Revenues for H1 2024 were modestly lower in comparison to the corresponding
period of the previous financial year at £8.31m (H1 2023: £8.54m).
In H1 2024, there was a 25% increase in Fleet & Optimisation revenues to
£6.16m (H1 2023: £4.91m). Fleet telematics was largely consistent with last
year, but Optimisation revenues were much better, with strong software
revenues of £1.84m (H1 2023: £0.19m) following the renewals with both
Iceland and Sainsburys as previously discussed. Connections as at 30(th)
September 2024 remained static at 63,000 (FY2024: 63,000). Insurance &
Automotive saw a reduction in revenues to £2.15m (H1 2023: £3.63m). The lack
of new device sales, coupled with the reduction in Insurance and Automotive
connections as at 30(th) September 2024 to 179,000 (FY2024: 212,000), has
resulted in an estimated loss of £2m of revenue compared to our expectations
in early 2024.
Recurring revenues continue to be the bedrock of the Group and were £4.51m in
H1 2024 (H1 2023: £5.23m) representing 54% of the Group's overall revenue.
Insurance and Automotive's drop in connections during the period accounts for
£0.5m of this reduction, with Fleet continuing to see some attrition in
smaller fleets with new connections only starting to benefit towards the end
of the period.
Overheads in the period increased by 18%. This increase is inclusive of a 18%
increase in amortisation following extensive investment in technology in
earlier years. Increased costs were experienced in staff salaries, an area
where we seek to ensure that we maintain market rates wherever possible, and
we also increased our marketing spend by 75% as we look to deliver our
increased market share strategy.
Due to the improved gross margin from increased software revenues, the
continued benefit of recurring revenues and controlled costs, the Group
produced a small Adjusted profit of £0.02m (H1 2023: £0.12m). Profit after
tax for the period was £0.14m compared to £0.11m for H1 2023.
Financial position
Cash generation from operations was £0.35m (H1 2023: £2.35m) and as at 30
September 2024, the Group's net bank debt, excluding the impact of the IFRS16
lease liability, was £6.66m (H1 2023 £5.57m), representing an increase of
£1.81m compared to the end of the previous financial year as cash balances
decreased and a new convertible loan note was issued for £0.99m to fund the
acquisition of a complementary driver risk solution as reported in the Group's
FY2024 results.
The reduced cash generation from operations was again down to Insurance device
sales being lower than expected, which compared to Fleet contract wins, turn
to positive cashflow in shorter timeframes. We continue to hold more
inventory than desired due to Insurance sales volumes and committed material
purchases during 2023 when lead times were in excess of twelve months - this
represents an opportunity to improve the working capital position as device
sales return.
During the period, we agreed revised agreements with both HSBC and Maven and
the Group continues to closely monitor its working capital position.
The overall cash outflow for the financial period was £1.04m (H1 2023:
£0.25m). Cash on hand was £0.35m (H1 2023: £0.87m) with £0.5m in unused
overdraft facility at the period end.
Outlook
The Insurance and Automotive markets continue to provide challenging
forecasting conditions. The prospect of volumes of new device sales from both
existing and new customers not increasing until Q4 of FY2025 means that our
expectations are lower than that we had previously forecast for the Insurance
and Automotive business. However, our Fleet and Optimisation business is
forecast to trade well with a strong pipeline of opportunities across all our
solutions, including the previously highlighted Optimisation contract which
remains in our sales process. We hope that this pipeline will offset the
challenges within the Insurance market.
The outcome for the full year therefore remains uncertain with the strength of
recovery in Insurance unknown. However, the Board remains confident of
improving revenues compared to the prior financial year.

Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements
1. Basis of preparation
The Group's unaudited interim results for the 6 months to 30 September 2024
(prior year 30 September 2023) were approved by the Board of Directors on 4
December 2024.
As permitted this Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with UK AIM
Rules for Companies and not in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial
Reporting" and therefore is not fully in compliance with IFRS.
Trakm8 Holdings PLC ("Trakm8") is a public limited company incorporated in the
United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. Trakm8 is domiciled in the United
Kingdom and its ordinary shares are traded on AIM, the market operated by the
London Stock Exchange plc.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial
statement are the same as those set out in the Group's annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The financial statements have
been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain liabilities and
share based payment liabilities which are measured at fair value.
The interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by Group's
auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practice Board guidance on 'Review of
Interim Financial Information' and do not include all of the information
required for full annual financial statements.
The financial information contained in this report is condensed and does not
constitute statutory accounts of the Group within the meaning of Section
434(3) of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31
March 2024 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The audit report
of those accounts was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by
way of emphasis and did not contain a statement under Section 498(2) or (3) of
the Companies Act 2006. This audit was completed without the restatements as
disclosed in Note 12 of this announcement.
Going concern
The consolidated interim financial statements are prepared on a going concern
basis. The directors report that, having reviewed current performance and
projections of its working capital and long term funding requirements,
including assessments against the covenants agreed with our bank and downward
sensitivity analysis, they are satisfied that the Group has sufficient
resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not
less than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, they continue
to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed financial
statements.
2. Risks and uncertainties
The Board has considered the principal risks and uncertainties for the
remaining half of the financial year and determined that the risks presented
in the 31 March 2024 Annual Report, described as follows, also remain relevant
to the rest of the financial year: Operating in a fast moving technology
industry where we will always be at risk from new products being launched;
Deteriorating economic climate; Access to long term and working capital;
Cyber-attack , data security & data breaches; Significant operational
failure; Adverse mobile network changes; Attracting and maintaining high
quality employees; Electronics supply chain under constraint; Business
disruption from communicable diseases; Climate Change. These are detailed on
pages 15 to 18 of the 2024 Annual Report, a copy of which is available on the
Group's website at www.trakm8.com. (http://www.trakm8.com/)
3. Segmental Analysis
-
The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is identified as the Board. It
continues to define all the Group's trading under the single Integrated
Telematics Technology segment and therefore review the results of the group as
a whole. Consequently, all of the Group's revenue, expenses, assets and
liabilities are in respect of one Integrated Telematics Technology segment.
The Board as the CODM review the revenue streams of Integrated Fleet,
Optimisation, Insurance and Automotive Solutions (Solutions) as part of their
internal reporting. Solutions represents the sale of the Group's full vehicle
telematics and optimisation services, engineering services, professional
services and mapping solutions to customers.
A breakdown of revenue within these streams are as follows: Six months to Six months to Year to

include final amounts in relation to the professional services and termination
fees incurred through the exit of a lease property that was no longer required
due to this decision.
Detailed explanation of prior year exceptional costs are detailed on page 63

12. Restatements to Prior Periods
Previous periods have been adjusted to reflect two changes in presentation:
i) Ageing of future contract assets between Current and Non-Current Assets
The results for the six months to 30 September 2023 have been restated to
reflect the ageing of future contract assets. The effect of this change is as
follows:
- Results for the six months to 30 September 2023
- Other receivables within Non-Current Assets have been increased
by £1,203,000
- Other receivables within Current Assets reduced by £1,203,000
ii) Classification of customer platform hosting from Administrative expenses
to Cost of sales due to it being directly attributable to revenue generating
activities
The results for the six months to 30 September 2023 and the 12 months to 31
March 2024 have been restated to reclassify the variable costs for customer
platform hosting from Administrative expenses to Cost of Sales which more
accurately represents the financials of the Group. The effect of this change
is as follows:
- Results for the six months to 30 September 2023
- Increase Cost of Sales and decrease Gross Profit by £627,000
- Decrease Administrative Expenses by £627,000
- Results for the six months to 31 March 2024
- Increase Cost of Sales and decrease Gross Profit by £1,457,000
- Decrease Administrative Expenses by £1,457,000
Whilst the results for the year ended 31 March 2024 prior to these
restatements were audited, no audit has been completed on the relevant
restatements to this period.
