Operating highlights
· H1 2018 results down year-on-year due to:
o Exit from Contract Electronics Manufacturing
o Working down of launch stocks by one of the Group's significant customers
o Modest attrition in one of the Group's significant insurance customers
o Lower than expected Fleet and Optimisation revenues due to lower pipeline conversion rates than normal
· Continuation of new contract wins:
o New contract awards with major clients LexisNexis, EE and Intelematics Australia
o Installed base continues to grow in Fleet from existing and new customers, offset by Insurance reductions:
§ approximately 251,000 connections (Sept 2017: 217,000 connections), the same as last year end
· A stronger outlook with mid-term opportunity intact:
o Restructuring of Fleet & Optimisation sales teams with experienced new staff recruited
o Investment in increased manufacturing capacity
o Continued focus on driving internal operational improvements and efficiencies
o Latest generation of telematics devices launched
o Strong level of orders, post period end, from existing and new customers
Outlook and trading statement
Since the Group's trading update announced in September 2018 it has become clear that the improved H2 financial performance, driven by continued growth in the telematics business, will not materialise as the Group anticipated. Continuing delays in decisions by customers is preventing the return to the usual levels of success in Fleet and Optimisation, a move to a rental model in the automotive space, and the loss, due to sanctions, of a multi-million-pound contract for the supply of Insurance solutions into Iran, has meant that revenue for the current financial year is now expected to be 20-25% below the FY2018 outcome, and 10-15% below on a like-for-like basis.
The directors expect that while the current year will be loss making, the market for Trakm8's solutions will be robust in the longer term and that the Group's strategy will drive Trakm8's future operational and financial performance; evidenced by contract wins from LexisNexis and an initial two year agreement to supply EE, part of the BT Group, with telematics based services, using its Connectedcare product.

Executive Chairman's Statement
Results
This is a disappointing set of results for the six months ended 30 September 2018. All of the Group's key financial metrics are down in comparison to the prior period and the full financial year ended 31 March 2018. However, we have continued to focus on driving operational improvements in the business to position ourselves for sustainable and profitable growth.
This is the last year that the migration into a pure telematics data solutions provider has the effect of reducing the total revenues of the Group as a result of the exit from all Contract Electronics Manufacturing (CEM) and third-party hardware supply in the prior financial year that impacts our year-on-year comparisons.
Revenues reduced by 38% in the period to £8.84m (H1 2017: £14.15m). The elimination of the CEM activity accounted for £2.27m of this decline. There was a reduction of £2.01m in Insurance and Automotive revenues, as previously communicated, due to the working down of launch stocks by one of our significant customers and modest attrition in one of our significant insurance customers. Unexpected lower than usual Fleet and Optimisation revenues of £1.03m due to lower pipeline conversion than normal, can be attributed to the current financial uncertainty associated with Brexit.
Total recurring revenues decreased by 7% during the period to £5.12m (H1 2017: £5.48m), as a result of the decline in the revenue per unit in the insurance market. There is an ongoing trend of lower service fees per unit for the same functionality. This should be the lowest point for recurring revenues as volumes build up over the coming months.
Gross profit margin has reduced to 43% (H1 2017: 46%). This is due to the relatively fixed labour costs during a period of low levels of device build. The full year is expected to recover this deterioration both due to the higher levels of hardware build and also due to the reduction in operatives and product cost during the period.
During the period Trakm8 continued to focus on operational efficiencies, using these savings to deploy in sales and marketing resources. As a result, first half sales and marketing expenditure has increased year-on-year by £0.31m, funded by a year-on-year decrease in other operating expenses of £0.34m. Engineering investment in market leading technology was maintained at last year's level of £2.5m, of which £1.71m was capitalised R&D.
As a result, total overhead costs excluding exceptional costs increased by £0.24m year-on-year to £6.61m (H1 2017: £6.37m), with depreciation and amortisation increasing by £0.15m year-on-year and expensed R&D increasing by £0.12m year-on-year.
At the end of the last financial year Trakm8 had agreed a multi-million-pound contract for the supply of Insurance solutions into Iran. After many months of negotiation over the impact of US sanctions, it is now considered inappropriate to proceed with this contract and so as an exceptional cost we have provided for the cost of the work and solutions supplied last year (amounting to £0.28m).
Financial position
Net cash outflow from operating activities was £0.42m (H1 2017: inflow of £3.57m), which included R&D tax credit receipts of £0.97m (H1 2017: £1.64m). The principal cause for the cash outflow was the losses incurred.
Our net debt as at 30 September 2018 was £5.73m (H1 2017: £2.32m) (31.3.2018: £3.30m) including £2.00m of cash (H1 2017: £2.72m). In addition, the Group at 30 September 2018 held an undrawn credit facility of £0.30m at HSBC.
Sales of Telematics Services
The Group now generates revenues entirely from the provision of Telematics Services, which comprises Fleet Management, Optimisation, Insurance and Automotive solution revenues including associated engineering services.
Recurring revenues from this base have reduced by 7% to £5.11m (H1 2017: £5.48m) and represent 58% of Group revenues (H1 2017: 39%). At the period end we had approximately 251,000 units (30 Sept 2017: 217,000 units) reporting to our servers, being an increase of 15% over the last twelve months. This is the same as at 31 March 2018.
Despite a record pipeline for Fleet and Optimisation contracts, the market has been adversely affected by the current uncertainty over Brexit and the economy in general. Decision making is taking even longer than previously has been the case. Since March 2018 Fleet units installed have increased by 4,000 units to 77,000 (5%).
The Group's largest insurance customer has experienced a decline in young driver policies and as a result the level of new policies written has been less than those not renewed or cancelled. The effect of US sanctions on Iran impacted expected revenues in the period. In addition, the Group's major automotive customer has had a slower roll out than originally expected whilst running down the inventory purchased at the end of the last financial year. The new contract wins and the resumption of volume supply to Automotive will commence in H2. As a result, Insurance & Automotive connections reduced by 5,000 to 173,000 (-3%).
Overall, revenue was 26% lower than the same period of 2017 at £8.84m (H1 2017: £11.87m).
Strategy
The Group has been following the strategy outlined in the 2018 Annual Report. Our focus is to provide ever more meaningful insights to our customers using the data generated by our installed devices and other connections so that they can run their operations more efficiently and safely.
We continue to seek to increase the number of connections in order to generate long term, recurring revenues. We have outlined our strategy to achieve 1m connections by 31 December 2020 and will continue to monitor this trend as an important KPI. Despite the poor six months, we believe that our ambition remains realistic due to the new contract wins and strong commitment from various existing customers.
We continue to strive to benefit from the opportunity created by the trend of either amortising the cost of hardware over the lifetime of a contract or a move to a full rental model. Both reduce free cash flows in the short term. The rental model also has the effect of increasing the capital expenditure and reducing revenues and profitability in the short term but increases the security of the relationship and improves the cash flow and profitability in the medium term. As a supplier with sufficient financing in place to meet the challenge in the market, Trakm8 can secure contracts others might not be able to finance.
We will continue to own the majority of IP in our value chain and are investing heavily in our technology to ensure we remain at the leading edge of the telematics industry.
We continue to focus on streamlining the operations of the Group to further increase the efficiency of our operations, maintaining the current levels of engineering spend, whilst deploying increasing sales and marketing resources to drive growth. During the period the Group expanded the footprint of the operations in Coleshill near Birmingham and will make investments to meet the demand for devices anticipated over the coming few years. The Group will also implement a new ERP system with anticipated improvements in management information and operational efficiency.

Notes To The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of preparation
The Group's interim results for the 6 months to 30 September 2018 (prior year 30 September 2017) were approved by the Board of Directors on 15 November 2018. As permitted this Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the 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 2018, except for the adoption of IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) and IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) for the first time for the interim reporting period commencing 1 April 2018. The Group had to change its accounting policies and make certain retrospective adjustments following adoption of IFRS15. This is disclosed in note 13. The impact of adoption of IFRS 9 is not material and no separate disclosure is made. 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 2018 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.
Going concern
The director's report that, having reviewed current performance and forecasts, 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 risk presented in the 31 March 2018 Annual Report, described as follows, also remain relevant to the rest of the financial year: Significant operational system failure; Cyber-attack and data security; Brexit and a deteriorating economic climate; Operating in a fast-moving technology industry where we will always be at risk from new products; Adverse mobile network changes; Attracting and maintaining high-quality employees; Space limitation; Electronic supply chain under constraint. These are detailed on pages 27 to 28 of the 2018 Annual Report, a copy of which is available on the Group's website at www.trakm8.com.
3. Segmental Analysis
The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is identified as the Board. It continued 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, results, assets and liabilities are in respect of one Integrated Telematics Technology segment.
The Board as the CODM review the revenue streams of Integrated Fleet, Insurance and Automotive Solutions (Solutions) and Hardware as Discrete Devices (Products) 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. Products is the sale of Contract Electronic Manufacturing services which ceased with effect from 1 April 2018.
A breakdown of revenue within these streams are as follows:

The acquisition cost incurred in 2019 relate to non-underlying charges under two separate agreements linked to the acquisition in 2017. The costs incurred are directly linked to the acquisition and not as part of the ongoing underlying business. One agreement terminates on 31 July 2019 and the second agreement on 31 March 2019.
The integration cost relates costs incurred in a project to streamline and rationalise the operations of the business.
The bad debt cost relates to a provision made for the supply of Insurance solutions into Iran. Due to the Iran sanctions, we now consider it inappropriate to proceed with the contract to supply services into the Middle East and have provided for the cost of the work and solutions provided.

13. Changes in accounting policies
This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on the group's financial statements and also discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they are different to those in prior period.
9(a). Impact on the financial statements:
As a result of the changes in the entity's accounting policies, prior year financial statements had to be restated. As explained in note 9(b) below, IFRS 15 was adopted with restated comparative information.
The following table shows the adjustments recognised for each of the individual line item. Line items that were not affected by the changes have not been included. As a result, the sub-totals and the totals disclosed cannot be recalculated from the numbers provided. The adjustments are explained in more detail below.
The group has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 April 2018 which resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. In accordance with the transition provision in IFRS 15, the group has adopted the new rules retrospectively and has restated comparatives for the 2018 financial year. In summary, the following adjustments were made to the amounts recognised in the balance sheet at the date of initial application (1 April 2018):
The benefit to the results for the six months to 30 September 2018 from prior year restatements following the adoption of IFRS 15 is not material.
