(1)For details on adjusted measures refer to note 2 of the consolidated
financial statements.
(2) Statutory results reflect the costs associated with the ongoing Comet
legal case
* Group performance improved significantly in the second half of 2022 as
supply chain conditions stabilised allowing increased product shipments.
* As previously announced, the reported results for the year have been
impacted by the exceptional costs associated with the Comet legal case which
totalled £59.7 million in the period. Adjusted figures are shown above to
show the underlying trading performance.
* Strong demand across the year, with record order intake increasing by 6% to
£362.9 million on a reported basis resulting in a book to bill of 1.25x. Each
business segment has good order book visibility into 2023, although order
intake in the Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment sector has slowed towards
year end.
* Revenue grew 21% on a reported basis, 13% at constant currency and 6% on an
organic constant currency basis, with both strong growth sequentially and
year-on year in the second half.
* Gross margin decreased by 360bps to 41.5% but improved in H2 to 42.6% as
operational leverage, higher pricing and lower freight and logistics costs
began to feed through. We continue to expect gross margins to recover to
historic levels over the medium term.
* Adjusted operating profit of £42.9 million was 12% lower on a constant
currency basis and down 5% as reported. Encouragingly, second half adjusted
operating profit of £27.9 million was 27.7% higher than the prior year on a
reported basis and a record level. The full year statutory operating loss of
£(24.1) million compares to a profit of £29.7 million in the prior year. The
majority of the difference between adjusted and statutory results being the
costs associated with the ongoing Comet legal case specifically £52.2 million
of costs and a £7.5 million write down of intangibles.
* We continued to invest in our medium term growth opportunities with
construction commenced on a third, Asian manufacturing facility in north-west
Malaysia, with commissioning expected in H2 2024. In 2023 we expect capital
investment to total around £30 million before reducing to historic levels of
c.£10-15 million in 2024.
* Net debt of £151.0 million was a significant increase compared to 2021, and
reflects the acquisitions of FuG and Guth, an increase in inventory to support
delivery of the order backlog, higher capital investment, costs associated
with the legal case and a $44.0 million (£36.9 million) collateral payment
for a bond held against the damages awarded against the Group in the legal
action in the US. We expect to see net debt reduce during 2023.
* Proposed final dividend for 2022 of 36 pence per share (2021: 36 pence per
share). Total dividend for 2022 of 94 pence per share (2021: 94 pence per
share). The maintained total dividend reflects the Board’s long term
confidence in the Group’s trading prospects.
* The Group enters 2023 with a record confirmed order book of £308.4 million
(2021: £217.0 million), representing more than 90% of analyst consensus¹
2023 revenue. This remains significantly above long term levels and provides
us with good visibility.
* Following the year end Oskar Zahn, Chief Financial Officer, resigned from
the Board to take up the position of Chief Financial Officer at W.A.G payment
solutions plc and will leave the group at the end of March. David Stibbs,
Group Finance Director, will assume the responsibilities of CFO on an interim
basis while the Board conducts a search for a permanent successor.
Note (1) The current range of analyst expectations for revenue for the year
ended 31 December 2023 is £288 million to £322 million.
James Peters, Chair, commented:
“2022, while challenging, was a year of further strategic progress that
positions us well for the long term. Trading improved as the year progressed
and we are pleased with our second half performance, which better reflects
what we are capable of and is testament to the hard work of our teams.
Despite slowing order intake in Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment sector,
the Group starts 2023 with a significant order book which provides good
visibility for the year. While we remain mindful of the ongoing uncertainties
relating to component supply, inflation, recessionary concerns and the
slowdown in semiconductor market, and are continuing to monitor the situation
closely, we remain cautiously optimistic on the Group’s prospects for the
current year.”

Chair’s Statement
Our Progress in 2022
While demand remained strong throughout the year, the Group enjoyed mixed
fortunes in 2022. A combination of supply chain factors and inflationary
pressures impacted our performance in the first half, but conditions improved
progressively through the second half and we ended the year strongly.
In what continued to be a challenging global environment, we made good
strategic progress in the year. Key developments included the acquisitions of
FuG Elektronik GmbH (FuG) and Guth High Voltage GmbH (Guth) in January, the
ongoing investment in supply chain capacity and resilience, including further
enhancements of our existing facilities, and the start of work on a new major
manufacturing site in Malaysia, our third in Asia. Beyond this, we continued
to further develop our product range with design-in activity levels - a good
medium term leading indicator of customer demand – remaining high.
2022 saw the continuation of ongoing challenges resulting from COVID-19, with
a five-week shutdown of our Kunshan facility in China when production was
suspended. In addition, labour and component inflationary pressures, global
supply chain and logistics challenges led to extended lead-times being faced
by the electronics industry worldwide, particularly in the first half of the
year. However, it was a year of two halves: the first half was severely
impacted by these challenges leading to a delay in conversion of orders to
revenue and inventory build up. In the second half of the year trading
improved significantly, both sequentially and year-on-year, supply chain
conditions stabilised allowing manufacturing facilities’ throughput to
increase materially, the impact of higher selling prices began to work through
and logistics and freight costs reduced. I would like to thank all colleagues
for their ongoing commitment, perseverance and adaptability during this
difficult period.
The clear highlight of the year was our record revenue, driven by an
acceleration in the second half where we delivered significant growth over the
prior year. The Group enters 2023 with a strong order book which underlines
the strength of demand for XP Power’s products.
We saw continued momentum in the Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment sector,
part of a multiyear upcycle that slowed towards year-end, strong growth in
Industrial Technology and encouraging growth in Healthcare for the full year.
The second half of 2022 saw very strong growth, versus the prior year,
particularly in the Industrial Technology and Healthcare sectors.
Although we have seen a material increase in our net debt year on year
reflecting the acquisitions of FuG and Guth, at the beginning of the year,
investment in inventory to support delivery of the backlog, higher capital
investment, and the collateral payment and legal fees relating to the ongoing
Comet litigation, we continue to expect the Group’s financial leverage to
reduce in 2023.
Our confidence in the Group’s long-term prospects allows the Board to
propose a final dividend of 36p for 2022 (2021: 36p) which would, if approved
by shareholders, brings the total 2022 dividend per share to 94p (2021: 94p).
Our Board
In March 2022 I announced that I would be retiring from the Board following
the AGM in April 2023, after almost 35 years with the Group. Our succession
plans were implemented and we were delighted to welcome Jamie Pike to the
Board as Non-Executive Director and Chair designate in March 2022. Jamie and I
continue to work together closely in this handover period ahead of the formal
transfer of responsibilities.
We were delighted to announce in October 2022 Sandra Breene and Amina Hamidi
joining as Non-Executive Directors, together bringing deep knowledge of
operations, engineering and international business experience to the Board.
Following the year end Oskar Zahn, Chief Financial Officer, resigned from the
Board to take up the position of Chief Financial Officer at W.A.G payment
solutions plc. Oskar will leave the group at the end of March and a further
announcement on his departure is being made separately today. On behalf of the
Board, I would like to thank Oskar for his contribution to XP over the last
two years and wish him well in his new role.
Our People and Our Values
The success of any organisation is dependent on its culture and the people
and talent within it. The Board engages regularly with the Executive
Leadership Team and colleagues throughout the Group to ensure we are
continuing to identify and develop our key people and bringing new talent and
capabilities into the business to help underpin our growth ambitions. We made
a number of key hires in engineering, manufacturing and product management
during the year as we looked to further enhance our capabilities in these
critical areas and to support the growth ambitions we have for the Group.
Strategy Review
We recently completed our annual review of our strategy which confirmed it
remains appropriate and robust. We continue to evolve individual elements to
improve their effectiveness and to ensure they take account of changes in the
operating environment. Today, we are one of a few power companies in the world
with a broad product portfolio spanning the power and voltage spectrum. We
remain focused on growth, both organically and inorganically, and despite many
years of strong performance, our expanded addressable market and the
opportunity to further grow our market share in the markets in which we
operate and the sectors we focus on remains encouraging. Looking ahead, we
will continue to use our product portfolio and engineering services
capabilities to provide customers with a broader range of power solutions and
to continue to increase our market share.
Our strategy is devised to deliver sustainable long-term earnings growth
through both revenue growth and market share gains in our target sectors and
customers. This success is demonstrated by our consistent performance and
resilience over the cycle in the sectors in which we operate. We are confident
we can continue to develop market leading products and, encouraged by the
potential of our product and sales backlog and pipeline, to continue to
deliver organic growth.
The acquisitions of FuG and Guth at the beginning of 2022 are highly
complementary to our existing high voltage portfolio and significantly enhance
our capabilities in this attractive area. In the short term our focus is on
bedding in these recent acquisitions and positioning them to deliver upon
their full organic growth potential within the Group. Integration is
progressing well and performance was in line with expectations in 2022.
Outlook
We delivered a robust performance in the second half of 2022, particularly Q4,
demonstrating the Group’s potential. Demand remains solid and a record order
book gives excellent visibility into 2023. There continues to be external
factors that could impact on 2023 including the semiconductor market slowdown,
ongoing supply chain challenges, inflationary cost pressures and recessions in
a number of our operating regions. Longer term, the Board believes XP remains
very well positioned to grow ahead of its end markets, recover profitability
and deliver strong cash generation.
As I close my last statement as Chair, I am extremely proud of what XP Power
has achieved in the past 35 years and excited by the opportunities for the
Company that lie ahead. I would like to thank all our stakeholders for their
commitment and support over many years and wish them and the business every
future success.

Performance: Operational Review
Review of our year
The Group continued to make strategic progress in the year despite facing
significant supply chain and inflationary headwinds, particularly in the first
half. The second half saw a much improved performance, that better reflects
the Group’s capabilities, and we have carried that momentum into the new
financial year. Demand across all sectors was strong and has resulted in our
order book being at high levels as we entered 2023.
The Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment sector performed strongly throughout
2022. The performance was underpinned by a combination of increased end market
demand and our market share gains from design wins on new tools. These ongoing
design wins are being supported by the development of closer relationships
with our customers. The Industrial Technology sector maintained the momentum
we saw at the end of 2021. Demand from our Healthcare customers steadily
improved during the year, ending with a strong second half.
Our diversified manufacturing footprint and supply chain is recognised as an
important strategic differentiator by our key customers, many of whom are
otherwise concerned about USA/China trade relations and general supply chain
resilience. In the last couple of years we have been able to demonstrate this
resilience by maintaining product shipments throughout very challenging
operating conditions. Continuing shipments to customers remained our priority
in 2022 and the Group faced a variety of specific challenges as it worked to
meet this objective. In H1 2022 our Chinese factory was impacted by a
five-week long COVID-19 imposed lock-down by the Chinese government. This in
turn resulted in logistics challenges which impacted the overall supply chain.
Global supply chains continued to be under significant pressure in 2022 and
this impacted both our financial performance, particularly in the first half
of the year, but also the service we, and our competitors, could provide to
customers. Many components were in short supply with lead-times exceeding 52
weeks. As in 2021, supply issues and material shortages impacted not only
semiconductors, but also other components critical to the manufacture of XP
Power’s products. We continue to manage the situation proactively; working
closely with our suppliers and customers, redesigning some products where
shortages have been significant, and we continued to pay premium prices to
secure and expedite supply. The overall supply chain has now stabilised and we
expect this situation to be maintained during 2023.
A second supply chain challenge we faced in H1 2022 related to global
logistics, partly related to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in China. This
resulted in disruption around ports, and tight air and sea freight supply,
which led to increased transit times and significant cost increases. In the
second half of 2022 these conditions improved significantly, and we have seen
logistic costs reduce. While our air to sea freight ratio was higher during
2022 as we strove to meet customer delivery schedules, we expect to move to
more normalised levels in 2023.
Expansion of our product portfolio by acquisition remains an important element
of our growth strategy. In January 2022 we completed the acquisitions of FuG
and Guth. The acquisitions have added speciality high voltage capabilities to
our portfolio, strengthened our position in the important German market and
are an excellent fit with our existing operations, adding wholly new and
highly complementary product portfolios and technical capabilities to the
Group.
Marketplace
The Group delivered revenue growth of 21% in 2022 on a reported basis, with
revenue of £290.4 million (2021: £240.3 million) or 6% growth on an organic
constant currency basis.
Order intake was up 6% on a reported basis to £362.9 million (2021: £343.4
million). Orders and revenue for 2022 represent a full year, book-to-bill
ratio of 1.25 (2021: 1.43). The Group had a record opening order book of
£308.4 million on 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: £217.0 million),
providing excellent visibility for 2023.
Marketplace: Sector Dynamics
The Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment sector remains an exciting and
important area for XP Power with excellent long-term growth prospects. Revenue
from these customers increased by 22% to £113.4 million (2021: £93.3
million) or 9% growth at constant currency. We believe we not only benefited
from ongoing demand but also from market share gains as a number of new
programme wins, driven by technology advances, entered production. Revenue
from Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment sector customers represented 39% of
overall revenue (2021: 39%). The new higher power and higher voltage products
we now offer allow us to service considerably more of the opportunities in
this sector, significantly expanding our addressable market. The acquisitions
of FuG and Guth further strengthen our position in this market adding access
to new sub-sectors including lithography.
Investment in semiconductor manufacturing capacity has been growing rapidly
worldwide in recent years as the industry responds to a structural supply
shortage and to meet demand for ever more technologically sophisticated
semiconductors. Demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment remains
strong with c.81 new semiconductor manufacturing facilities expected to be
commissioned by 2025 which will continue to drive demand as they are equipped
for production, although there is likely to be a global slowdown in parts of
this sector, particularly the leading edge products in the memory segments in
2023. Given XP’s exposure is more focused on the deposition and etch
segments, its deep penetration in trailing edge and our backlog, we expect
performance to be more resilient than the market.
Revenue from the Industrial Technology sector increased by 18% on a constant
currency basis (increase of 30% as reported) to £119.6 million (2021: £92.0
million) and represented 41% (2021: 38%) of overall revenue. Demand in
Industrial Technology remains robust. The sector is extremely well diversified
with only a few customers in our top 30 customer list by revenue. Customer
applications in this sector vary significantly and are principally driven by
new and emerging electronic technologies and high growth niches rather than
traditional areas such as industrial machinery, automotive or mining. Typical
drivers of our revenue in this sector include analytical instruments, test &
measurement equipment, robotics, displays, industrial printing, renewable
energy, and smart grid. Industrial Technology is a resilient, highly
diversified, long term growth market for XP Power with innovation a key driver
of growth. Our Distribution business, which represents 12% (2021: 10%) of our
overall revenue and has a very diverse range of end markets, is also included
within our Industrial Technology sector. Distribution remains an attractive
growth market where we have been increasing market share with existing
customers and adding new distributors to expand our geographic reach and
increase our market penetration of small and mid-tier customers.
Revenue from Healthcare customers declined by 7% at constant currency
(increased by 4% as reported) to £57.4 million (2021: £55.0 million)
representing 20% of overall revenue (2021: 23%). The revenue decline in 2022
was driven by critical component availability. Demand was steady in the first
half but increased materially in the second half, both sequentially and year
on year, with growth coming from markets such as robotic surgical tools,
dentistry, endoscopy and medical imaging. Healthcare remains an attractive
market for XP Power given the long term demand growth dynamics, the safety
critical nature of products, the breadth of our medical product range and the
high level of customer service required by blue chip medical device
manufacturers. Healthcare customers are demanding in terms of quality and
reliability, making our value proposition very attractive to them. We provide
mission critical power solutions for numerous applications in the healthcare
arena and understand the many special requirements and regulatory approvals
that a medical power solution must meet. In normal circumstances Healthcare
tends to be much less cyclical than the other sectors we address which adds
resilience to our diversified business model.
Marketplace: North America
Our North America revenue was US$207.0 million in 2022 (2021: US$194.5
million), an increase of 6%. North America represented 57% of overall revenue
(2021: 59%).
Order intake in North America was US$276.1 million (2021: US$270.2 million),
an increase of 2% resulting in a healthy book-to-bill ratio of 1.33x.
Marketplace: Europe
Our European revenue grew by 29% to £86.5 million (2021: £67.3 million). FuG
and Guth contributed £16.5m of revenue in 2022, therefore Europe grew 4% on
an organic basis. With the new acquisitions, Europe’s revenues now account
for over 50% of the Industrial Technology sector total and represented 30% of
overall revenues (2021: 28%).
Order intake in Europe was £103.1 million (2021: £93.1 million), an increase
of 11%, resulting in a strong book-to-bill ratio of 1.20x.
Marketplace: Asia
Asian revenues were US$45.3 million (2021: US$43.8 million), an increase of
3%, with growth seen in Industrial Technology. Asia represented 13% of overall
revenue (2021: 13%).
Order intake in Asia was US$50.0 million (2021: US$74.8 million), a decline of
33% with a reduction in Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment and Healthcare
partially offset by higher Industrial Technology orders, resulting in a
book-to-bill ratio of 1.10x.
Litigation Update
On 24 March 2022 a jury in the US legal action brought by Comet Technologies
USA Inc., Comet AG, and YXLON International (“Comet”) concerning alleged
trade secret misappropriation by three individuals found in favour of Comet.
The jury awarded damages of $20 million based on unjust enrichment, and a
further $20 million for punitive damages against XP Power. On 30 September
2022 the judge ruled that there should be an injunction upon XP Power in
relation to trade secrets. Since this date the Group and our appointed lawyers
have been working to resolve the situation including filing motions with the
Court of the Northern District of California against the validity and level of
the damages imposed and against the quantum of legal fees claimed by Comet.
As previously announced, XP has not launched any products based on the Radio
Frequency technology that is the subject of the legal action, and there is
therefore no impact on the Group’s orders or revenue. The full damages and
estimated fees are accounted for in the 2022 financial statements along with
the impairment of associated product development assets. The case is ongoing
and upon receipt of the ruling of motions filed the Board will consider next
steps including potentially applying for an appeal with the Appellate Court.
While XP believes it has provided for the worst case situation, with the
pending motions and potential future appeals there remains a broad range of
potential outcomes. A further update will be provided in due course.
Our Strategy and Value Proposition
Our vision is to be the first-choice power solutions provider and deliver the
ultimate experience for our customers and our people. Over time we have
expanded our product portfolio up the power and voltage scale to enhance our
margins and provide our customers with a broader offering to solve their power
problems. We have added high voltage and RF technology and increased our
engineering resource to provide enhanced engineering services capabilities and
deliver a complete power solution to our key customers. We are now one of very
few providers who can offer customers a complete spectrum of power and voltage
capabilities and package several power converters into an overall solution
customised to the customer’s specific application. This makes us an
extremely attractive partner to our key customers and is a key driver of our
market share gains.
We have followed a consistent strategy which has enabled us to produce strong
results over a sustained period. The fundamental element of this strategy is
targeting key accounts where we can add value and gain more of the
customer’s available business, combined with moving our product line up the
power, voltage, and complexity spectrum. Although this strategy continues to
remain appropriate and effective, we constantly challenge and refine it, as we
have done so again in 2022.
Our strategy can be summarised as follows:
* Continually develop our market leading range of competitive products, both
organically and through selective acquisitions;
* Target customer accounts where we can add value;
* Increase penetration of those target customers;
* Continually improve our global, end-to-end, supply chain balancing high
efficiency with market leading customer responsiveness; and
* Lead our industry on environmental responsibility
We have a clear and compelling financial framework:
* c.10% organic revenue growth through the cycle
* c.20% operating margin supported by a gross margin >45%
* >20% return on capital employed
* >90% operating cash conversion, a low capital expenditure model
* 1-2x net debt to EBITDA financial leverage
The industry wide challenges we have faced in recent years have not diverted
us from our strategic path and we continue to invest for the medium and long
term in new product development, new capabilities and capacity. We continued
to execute well against our strategy in the period, gaining further design
wins with our newer product introductions, particularly in higher power
applications, and through our increased focus on engineering solutions. Whilst
gross and operating margins have been temporarily impacted, principally by
industry wide challenges experienced in the period following the pandemic, by
increasing operational leverage the Group is confident of its ability to
return to historic levels over the medium term.
Acquisitions have been a key part of our growth strategy, expanding our
product portfolio and addressable market. The FuG and Guth acquisitions
completed in January 2022 are the latest examples of this strategy in action.
Our value proposition to customers is to solve their power problems, reduce
their overall cost of design and manufacture, and help them get their product
to market as quickly as possible. We achieve this by providing excellent sales
engineering support and producing new highly reliable products that are easy
to design into the customer’s system, consume less power, take up less space
and reduce installation times.
Looking forward, whilst our strategy is clearly effective and adding
shareholder value, it will continue to evolve, building further organisational
and supply chain agility to better serve our customers and further enhance
execution. We will also increase our focus on people and development to ensure
we are able to continue to grow our business.
Manufacturing
Control of our own, low cost, high quality and geographically well-diversified
manufacturing assets remains an important component of XP’s competitive
advantage and the Group actively reviews and invests in its network to ensure
it remains well-placed to meet growing customer demand reliably and
cost-competitively.
XP Power’s principal production facilities are located in China and Vietnam.
We proactively manage the sites to optimise our supply chain and provide
resilience of supply for our customers. Our total Asian manufacturing
capacity is more than US$350 million per year at this time. During 2022, we
invested in additional capacity in Vietnam to meet our current and future
levels of demand and to support the transfer of more products into Vietnam
from China and our North American manufacturing facilities, as we seek to
benefit from lower production costs and increase supply chain resilience and
flexibility.
The Group commenced construction of a new manufacturing facility in north-west
Malaysia in 2022 to increase capacity to meet the growing demand across the
Group. We expect to commission this new facility in H2 2024. Our overall
objective is to provide a resilient and flexible supply chain with the
capability to manufacture the majority of products in China, Vietnam and
Malaysia and provide enhanced business continuity planning. The increased
level of capital expenditure that the Group will incur during construction of
the new third Asian site will be phased in line with the building of the
facility and will be spread across 2023 and 2024.
We expect this important strategic capability of having production facilities
in Vietnam, China and, in time, Malaysia, to enable us to win more design
mandates from key customers. The benefit of dual supply was highlighted when
China was in lockdown in 2020 and then again in 2022, as when conditions in
Vietnam were restricted in 2021, and we were able to effectively redirect
production to maintain a continuity of supply for our customers.
We also have three smaller, more technically specialist manufacturing
facilities in North America. These include a customer focused engineering
services facility in California, a site in New Jersey focused on high voltage
(‘HV’) products and a radio frequency (‘RF’) focused facility in
Massachusetts. High demand for RF and HV products has led to some supply
challenges and we are increasing capacity to meet increased demand levels,
including investment in increased capacity in China. Following the
acquisitions of FuG and Guth, we now also have two manufacturing facilities in
Germany predominantly focused on high voltage products.
We monitor market dynamics intently, working closely with our supply partners
and maintaining a level of safety stocks of key components. Throughout the
year, we continued to see significant supply constraints for certain
components and increased our safety stocks to manage through any future supply
issues and also designed out some particularly problematic components using
our engineering team. Uncertainty in the marketplace, in combination with long
lead times, led us to order higher quantities than normal to secure supply.
Overall supply chain conditions stabilised late in 2022 but we do expect some
issues to persist in 2023.
Research & Development
New products are fundamental to our longer term revenue growth. The broader
our product offering, the higher the probability that we will have a product
which will work in the customer’s application with or without a modification
by our engineering team. By expanding into RF power in 2017 and high voltage
in 2018 and 2022, we estimate that our addressable market is over US$6.0
billion and growing.
The design-in times required by our customers to qualify the power converter
into their equipment and to gain the necessary safety agency approvals are
lengthy. Typically, we see a period of around 18 months, or even longer in
Healthcare, from first identifying a customer opportunity to receiving the
first production order. Revenue will then start to build, often peaking a
number of years later through the product lifecycle, which can typically be
circa seven years. The positive aspect of this characteristic is that our
business has a strong annuity base where programmes typically last five to
seven years but can last much longer. Another aspect of this model is that the
many new products we have introduced over the last three years have yet to
make a meaningful impact on our revenue, creating a significant benefit for
future years as they enter production.
We continue to move our product portfolio up the power and voltage scale and
away from our historic low-power/low voltage offering, to protect our margins
and expand our addressable market. RF power is a long-term opportunity and is
a market which contains many interesting and significant niches beyond the
Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment sector including medical equipment,
induction and dielectric heating, and industrial lasers, and we are expanding
our RF development resources. In tandem, we have directed more of our internal
product development resources away from low-power/low voltage applications and
are servicing demand in the low-power segment with more third-party products
designed to our specifications and quality standards.
Engineering Solutions
As well as growing our product offering, we have continued to expand our
engineering solutions groups, particularly in Asia and North America. As we
continue to move our capabilities up to higher power and higher voltages, we
are becoming an increasingly attractive partner for customers whose
applications are becoming more and more demanding. These demands include not
only power delivery and management, but also sophisticated connectivity
involving software and firmware which enables the customer’s application to
control the power solution and the power solution to communicate back to the
application. As the world becomes more connected and the fourth industrial
revolution gains traction, we expect this trend to gather pace. Customers
place a high value on our engineering solutions capabilities which
differentiate us from many of our competitors.
Our engineering solutions groups work closely with the customer’s
engineering teams to provide these customised solutions. Speed and proximity
to the customer are critical as the power solution is often one of the last
parts of the system to be designed, so it is invariably one of the gating
items to get the end product to market. This is an area where XP Power adds
significant value to its customers, and we are seeing increasing demand for
these services.
We are one of the few power companies that can offer its customers a full
range of solutions across the voltage and power spectrum and provide the
engineering services to package these together to provide a complete power
solution, including communication with the customers’ application through
firmware. This is a powerful proposition which makes us an ideal partner for
many customers and greatly expands our addressable market.
Sustainability
We are acutely aware of the increasing concerns our people, customers,
suppliers, governments, and shareholders have around climate change and
sustainability issues in general. We have taken a lead in our industry in
developing and promoting high efficiency products which consume less energy
and therefore help reduce carbon emissions over their lifetime in use. We
established a Sustainability Committee as early as 2009 and set ourselves the
bold goal of becoming the leader in our industry regarding sustainability
matters. We have consistently incorporated sustainability factors into our
decision making and have adopted environmentally responsible practices in our
facilities. In particular, we believe that our Vietnamese production facility
is the most environmentally friendly in our industry with its efficient
building envelope, building management system, water recycling and solar panel
array. These industry-leading practices will also be incorporated into our new
Malaysian facility.
We determined many years ago that one of the biggest impacts we could have on
the environment was designing and promoting ‘XP Green Power’ products
which consume, and therefore waste, less energy over their operational
lifetimes. This results in significant and ongoing reductions in CO(2)
emissions generated by our customers’ equipment. ‘XP Green Power’
products generated revenues of £59.3 million in 2022, 21% higher than last
year and represented 20% of total revenue.
Sustainability also resonates with our employees. We have adopted energy and
water-saving practices throughout the Group and have a network of passionate
environmental representatives who promote best practices and raise awareness
of sustainability issues, including social ones, across our global
workforce.
We have set Company targets to reduce CO(2) emissions intensity by a minimum
of 3% per annum over the short and medium term and an aspiration to achieve
net zero by 2040. During 2022 we calculated XP Power’s full carbon footprint
including Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Initial findings show the majority of
emissions are outside of our operations – mostly from components we purchase
and our products in use. Future product design and efficiency as well as
supplier engagement is key in driving these emissions down. Also critical is
that governments continue to rapidly decarbonise national electricity grids.
XP Power will be submitting targets in line with Science Based Targets
Initiative (SBTi) in 2023, following our commitment which was submitted in
July 2022.
We continue to support our employees through training and development,
promoting a fair working environment with equal opportunities, and see mental
health as a priority. Through workforce engagement, views are heard at board
level.
In 2022 we were delighted to receive the first ESG award from Lam Research,
the leading global supplier of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and one
of our largest customers, being recognised for our commitment to strong ESG
goals and proactively aligning with Lam on these priorities. This follows the
PRISM award we received from ASM in 2021 for sustainability.

Performance: Financial Review
The Group’s performance improved significantly in the second half of the
year, after the extreme challenges of the first half, as supply chain
conditions began to stabilise and we were able to increase production from our
facilities. Our improved trading performance reflects the hard work of our
team and better reflects the Group’s potential. While we remain aware of
ongoing challenges and economic uncertainty, we have good momentum into 2023.
Adjusted Results
Throughout this results announcement, as is our normal practice, adjusted and
other alternative performance measures are used to describe the Group’s
performance. These are not recognised under International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) or other generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
When reviewing XP Power’s performance, the Board and Management team focus
on adjusted results rather than statutory results. There are a number of items
that are included in statutory results that are one-off in nature, or not
representative of the Group’s performance, such as the costs relating to the
Comet case and implementation of the new ERP system. These are therefore
excluded from the adjusted results. The tables in Note 2 show the full list of
adjustments between statutory operating profit and adjusted operating profit,
between statutory profit before tax and adjusted profit before tax, and
between statutory profit after tax and adjusted profit after tax at Group
level for both 2022 and 2021.
Statutory Results
Revenue was £290.4 million (2021: £240.3 million), representing organic
constant currency growth of 6% or 21% on a reported basis. The statutory
operating loss was £(24.1) million, compared to a profit of £29.7 million in
the prior year, with the loss primarily driven by the damages and legal costs
from the Comet case.
Net finance costs were £6.1 million (2021: £1.3 million), resulting in a
loss before tax of £(30.2) million (2021: profit £28.4 million). The higher
net finance cost reflects the higher average gross debt and increased interest
rates. This resulted in an income tax credit of £10.6 million compared to a
£5.4 million expense in 2021. The basic loss per share was 102.0 pence
whereas in 2021 the Group had earnings per share of 115.8 pence.
Trading Performance
The Group’s revenue growth was primarily driven by the Semiconductor
Manufacturing Equipment and Industrial Technology sectors, which increased 9%
at constant currency (22% as reported) to £113.4 million, and 18% at constant
currency (30% as reported) to £119.6 million respectively (Semiconductor
Manufacturing Equipment 2021: £93.3 million; Industrial Technology 2021:
£92.0 million).
The Healthcare sector increased revenue 4% as reported to £57.4 million
(2021: £55.0 million) but was down 7% at constant currency but with demand
and revenue increasing materially in the second half.
2022 revenue includes £14.4 million in Industrial Technology and £2.1
million in Healthcare sectors from the FuG and Guth businesses acquired at the
end of January.
By region, North America continued to benefit from the growth in demand for
Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment along with Industrial Technology,
increasing revenue by 6% to US$207.0 million from US$194.5 million in 2021.
Europe delivered growth of 4% (like-for-like, excluding the acquisitions of
FuG and Guth) to £70.0 million (2021: £67.3 million) and Asia revenue grew
by 3% to US$45.3 million (2021: US$43.8 million), both driven by the
Industrial Technology sector.
Gross margin decreased to 41.5% (2021: 45.1%), reflecting the continued supply
chain pressures impacting overhead absorption in factories throughout H1,
including COVID-19 related lockdowns in China which reduced manufacturing
output. As management of component shortages stabilised, Q3 and Q4
manufacturing output grew significantly, and resulting revenue increased,
delivering improved gross profit in the final months of 2022.
Higher freight costs during 2022 also impacted margin, with increased
proportion of higher cost air freight used to support on time customer
delivery and increased underlying cost per Kg, which began to ease during Q4.
We continue to expect gross margins to recover to historic levels over the
medium term.
Operating Costs
Adjusted operating expenses benefitted from c.£2 million foreign exchange
gains in 2022, which partly offset the additional operating expense from the
acquired FuG and Guth businesses, people and other cost inflation and, the
impact of a return to travel following the pandemic. Total adjusted operating
expense of £77.7 million was an increase of 16% on a like-for-like basis.
Gross R&D expenditure charged to the income statement (excluding the
impairment of previously capitalised development costs associated with the
legal case) was £20.4 million (2021: £16.8 million), representing 7% of
revenue; an absolute increase of 21% over the prior year and in line as a
proportion of revenue. Innovation is a key part of the Group’s strategy and,
as a result, R&D investment is expected to continue to grow as the Group
extends its engineering capabilities with a particular focus on RF and
high-power, high-voltage product development activities.
The Group capitalised £8.1 million of R&D costs (2021: £8.3 million), which
reflects the development of new products as the Group expands its product
portfolio. In 2023 we are expecting this investment to increase to c.£9
million.
Adjusted Profits
The resulting adjusted operating profit of £42.9 million was a decrease of
12% at constant currency (2021: £45.1 million) and translated to adjusted
operating margin of 14.8% (2021: 18.8%). In H2 2022 the adjusted operating
margin was 16.7%.
Adjusted net finance costs increased to £4.9 million on an adjusted basis
(2021: £1.3 million) as a result of increasing external interest rates
incurred on the Group’s US dollar denominated debt, along with higher levels
of total gross debt which climbed to £174.4m.
The Group generated adjusted profit before tax before specific items of £38.0
million (2021: £43.8 million), which represented a decline of 20% at constant
currency (13% as reported) compared to last year.
The effective tax rate on adjusted profit before tax was 16.1%, a reduction of
310bps (2021:19.2%) reflecting the benefit of R&D credits and assessment of
deferred tax assets and liabilities in North America, more than offsetting the
impact of profits from FuG and Guth, our German businesses, added to the Group
in 2022.
Adjusted basic and adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased by 10% to
160.6 pence and 9% to 160.1 pence respectively (2021: 179.4 pence and 176.3
pence).
Specific Items
In 2022, the Group incurred £68.2 million (2021: £15.4 million) of specific
items, £67.0 million of which was excluded from adjusted operating profit
with a further £1.2m relating to interest costs and therefore also excluded
from adjusted profit before tax.
The adjusted items were primarily driven by a provision made for damages of
$40 million (£32.1 million) awarded against the Group following the Comet
legal case, along with other related costs and an estimate of opposing counsel
legal costs which impact the income statement. Whilst the case remains
ongoing, the Group has placed collateral of $44 million (£36.9 million) for a
court bond against the damages, which is reflected in cash flow and net debt.
Whilst we do not believe we have used any third party IP in our designs, a
conservative approach was taken to write down previously capitalised
development costs associated with these products of £7.5 million. This
non-cash charge was booked in H1 2022.
Specific items in 2022 also include the costs to complete the ERP
implementation in Asia manufacturing sites (£3.8 million), acquisition
related costs (£2.4 million) and a credit from FX benefit on an acquisition
loan (£3.2 million). Other specific items also include acquisition related
amortisation of £4.1 million (non-cash).
Cash Flow and Net Debt
Net debt at 31 December 2022 was £151.0 million, compared with £24.6 million
at 31 December 2021, including the acquisitions of FuG and Guth in January
2022 (£33.0 million), higher capital expenditure (£22.9 million, including
Malaysia), working capital investment (£33.5 million), to support revenue
growth, and the impact of a US$44.0 million (£36.9 million) collateral
payment in Q4 for a bond held against the damages awarded against the Group in
the Comet Legal Action in the US plus legal fees. The working capital
investment represents a £24.8m increase in inventory and an £9.5 million
increase in receivables.
Accordingly, cash from operations was significantly impacted by the investment
in inventory and a Q4 increase in receivables because of the increase in Q4
revenue compared to 2021 (Q4 revenue 2022: £87.4 million, Q4 2021: £58.9
million). This resulted in a cash inflow from operations of £2.1 million
(2021: £40.6 million).
The inventory increase was driven by adapting to the new market dynamics
combined with an increase in raw materials to support the delivery of the
order backlog as logistics disruptions and increased component lead times led
to a delay in conversion of orders to revenue and subsequent inventory
build-up. Total inventory of £114.4 million was an increase of £40.4
million, including £8.8 million impact of foreign exchange on US dollar
balances.
Working capital benefited from inventory beginning to unwind in Q4 2022 and
although the pace of that unwind was slower than expected, it is expected to
accelerate in H1 2023 as supply chain conditions further stabilise. Inventory
is well above historic levels in absolute and percentage of sales terms and we
are working hard to reduce it even as supply chains remain challenging.
As planned, capital investment enhanced capacity and flexibility at our
manufacturing sites, and work commenced at our new manufacturing facility in
Malaysia with plans to go live in H1 2024. The Group spent £14.9 million in
2022 (2021: £13.6 million), which included the completion of our ERP system
implementation in £3.9 million of software additions, and £3.5 million for
the land in Malaysia.
As we continue to build capacity and resilience in our Asian supply chain and
address capital requirements to support our growth in North America, we expect
2023 to be a year of significantly higher expenditure. We will invest c.£30
million in 2023, including on the new manufacturing facility in Malaysia,
before returning to historic levels of c.£10-15 million per annum in 2024.
The expenditure is necessary to meet our longer-term growth plans and will
generate attractive returns.
Free cash before acquisitions, dividends and borrowings was an outflow of
£69.6 million (2021: £12.5 million inflow) and the Group finished 2022 with
net debt of £151.0 million (2021: £24.6 million), comprising cash and cash
equivalents of £23.4 million and gross debt of £174.4 million. Net debt to
EBITDA leverage was 2.68x. The Group expects financial leverage to reduce
during 2023.
XP secured greater banking covenant flexibility from its lenders in Q4 2022
with the net debt to EBITDA covenant now required to be less than 3.50x in
December 2022, 3.25x in June 2023 and 3.0x in December 2023. The Group expects
to remain well inside these covenants during 2023 and beyond. The greater
flexibility also highlights the ongoing support from our lending banks.
Capital Allocation
In 2023 the Group will prioritise strengthening the balance sheet whilst also
continuing to focus on investing in the business to drive medium term organic
growth. We expect operating cash flow to improve in 2023 allowing for organic
investment to be made, which will support our medium term plans, while
de-leveraging the balance sheet. The Group plans to operate in a range of
between 1 - 2x net debt to adjusted EBITDA in the medium term.
Our strong confidence in the Group’s long-term prospects allows the Board to
propose a final dividend of 36.0 pence per share for the fourth quarter of
2022. This dividend will be payable to members on the register on 24 March
2023 and will be paid on 27 April 2023. When combined with the interim
dividends for the previous three quarters, the total dividend for the year
will be 94.0 pence per share (2021: 94.0 pence).
Foreign Exchange
The Group reports its results in Pounds Sterling, but the US dollar continues
to be our principal trading currency, with approximately 84% (2021: 87%) of
our revenue denominated in US dollars. The average Pounds Sterling to US
dollar exchange rate decreased by 10% from 1.38 to 1.25 resulting in £1.9
million impact to adjusted operating profit. At current exchange rates there
would only be a minimal impact in 2023.
Outlook
The Group starts the new financial year with a significant order book, which
provides good visibility for 2023, particularly the first half. We remain
mindful of the ongoing uncertainties relating to component supply, inflation
and recessionary concerns and are continuing to monitor the situation closely.
That said, we are generally optimistic on the Group’s prospects for the
current year based on our strong H2 2022 trading momentum and the benefits of
price increases coming through our order book to a greater extent during 2023.
Longer term, the Board believes XP Power to be very well positioned to grow
ahead of its end markets, supported by its improving cash generation and a
reduced level of debt.

Reconciliation of adjusted measures
Adjusted measures
The Group presents adjusted operating profit and adjusted profit before tax by
adjusting for costs and profits which management believes to be significant by
virtue of their size, nature, or incidence or which have a distortive effect
on current year earnings. Such items may include, but are not limited to,
costs associated with business combinations and legal dispute, gains and
losses on the disposal of businesses, fair value movements, restructuring
charges, acquisition related costs and amortisation of intangible assets
arising from business combinations.
In addition, the Group presents an adjusted profit after tax measure by
adjusting for certain tax charges and credits which management believe to be
significant by virtue of their size, nature, or incidence or which have a
distortive effect.
The Group uses these adjusted measures to evaluate performance and as a method
to provide shareholders with clear and consistent reporting. See below for a
reconciliation of operating profit to adjusted operating profit, profit before
tax to adjusted profit before tax and profit after tax to adjusted profit
after tax.

6. Borrowings
The Group’s debt is sourced from a Revolving Credit Facility (‘RCF’)
provided by HSBC UK Bank PLC, J.P. Morgan Securities PLC, DBS Bank Ltd, Banco
de Sabadell S.A., Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft and Bank of China Limited. In
2022, the Group amended in respect of replacing LIBOR with Compound Reference
Rate and renewed its facility from US$150 million to US$255 million with a
US$75 million accordion with a four-year term up to June 2026 and an option to
extend the bank facility for a further one year to June 2027. The facility has
no fixed repayment terms until maturity. The revolving loan is priced based on
the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) administered by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York plus a margin of 1.2-2.8% for the utilisation
facility and a margin of 1.7% for the unutilised facility.
The borrowings are repayable as follows:

7. Business combination
On 31 January 2022, the Group acquired 100% equity interest in FuG Elektronik
GmbH (FuG) and Guth High Voltage GmbH (Guth). The principal activity of FuG
and Guth is that of development, production and sale of high voltage products,
covering applications from particle accelerators systems to laboratory power
supplies. As a result of the acquisition, the Group is expected to add wholly
new and highly complementary technical capabilities to the Group’s high
voltage product portfolio.
Details of the consideration paid, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
and the effects on the cash flows of the Group, at the acquisition date, are
as follows:

(e) Acquired receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables is £1.3 million which is the same as the gross contractual amount, all of which is expected to be collectible.
(f) Fair values
The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets of £11.3 million was finalised during the year.
(g) Goodwill
The goodwill of £21.0 million arising from the acquisition is attributable to the workforce in place, strategic value through new customers, new technologies, an expanded presence in Germany and the synergies expected to arise from the economies of scale in combining the operations of the Group with those of FuG and Guth. It is not deductible for tax purposes.
(h) Revenue and profit contribution
The acquired businesses contributed revenue of £16.5 million and net profit of £2.9 million to the Group from the period 1 February 2022 to 31 December 2022. Had FuG and Guth been acquired from 1 January 2022, consolidated revenue and consolidated loss before tax for the period ended 31 December 2022 for the group would have been £291.9 million and £29.8 million respectively.
8. Principal risks and uncertainties
Board Responsibility
The Group has well established risk management processes to identify and
assess risks. The Group’s principal risks are regularly reviewed by the
Board and are mapped onto a risk universe from which
risk mitigation or reduction can be tracked and managed. This helps facilitate
further discussions regarding risk appetite and draws out the risks that
require a greater level of attention.
An event that causes a disruption to one of our manufacturing facilities
An event that results in the temporary or permanent loss of a manufacturing
facility would be a serious issue. As the Group manufactures approximately 74%
of revenues, this would undoubtedly cause at least a short-term loss of
revenues and profits and disruption to our customers and therefore damage to
reputation.
Risk mitigation – We now have two facilities (China and Vietnam) where we
are able to manufacture the majority of our power converters and we have
disaster recovery plans in place for both facilities. Not all power converter
series can be produced in both facilities, but we continue to identify
opportunities to transfer capability and increase flexibility and resilience
in our supply chain. We have commenced construction of a new manufacturing
facility in Malaysia in 2022 to increase flexibility and our capacity to meet
the demand from across the Group.
We have undertaken a risk review with manufacturing management to identify and
assess risks which could cause a serious disruption to manufacturing, and then
identified and implemented actions to reduce or mitigate these risks where
possible.
Fluctuations of revenues, expenses, and operating results due to an economic
downturn or external shock
The revenues, expenses and operating results of the Group could vary
significantly from period to period because of a variety of factors, some of
which are outside its control. These factors include general economic
conditions; adverse movements in interest rates; inflation, conditions
specific to the market; seasonal trends in revenues, capital expenditure and
other costs; and the introduction of new products or services by the Group, or
by their competitors. In response to a changing competitive environment, the
Group may elect from time to time to make certain pricing, service, marketing
decisions or acquisitions that could have a short-term material adverse effect
on the Group’s revenues, results of operations and financial condition.
Risk mitigation – Although not immune from an economic shock or the
cyclicality of the capital equipment markets, the Group’s diverse customer
base, geographic spread and revenue annuities reduces exposure to this risk.
The Group’s business model is not capital intensive and the strong profit
margins lead to healthy cash generation which also helps mitigate risks from
these external factors.
The Group benefits from good order exposure 12 months out allowing it to
recognise market changes and mitigate the impact.
Cyber-security/Information systems failure
The Group is reliant on information technology in multiple aspects of the
business from communications to data storage. Assets accessible online are
potentially vulnerable to theft and customer channels are vulnerable to
disruption. Any failure or downtime of these systems or any data theft could
have a significant adverse impact on the Group’s reputation or on the
results of operations.
Risk mitigation – The Group has a defined Business Impact Assessment which
identifies the key information assets; replication of data on different
systems or in the Cloud; an established backup process in place as well as a
robust anti-malware solution on our networks.
Internally produced training materials are used to educate users regarding
good IT security practice and to promote the Group’s IT policy.
A cyber assessment carried out by the outsourced internal auditor resulted in
recommendations that are being implemented to further mitigate cyber risk and
safeguard the Group’s assets.
Dependence on key customers
The Group is dependent on retaining its key customers. Should the Group lose a
number of its key customers or key suppliers, this could have a material
impact on the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.
However, for the year ended 31 December 2022, no single customer accounted for
more than 19% of revenue. With this customer the Group is exposed to many
individual programs.
Risk mitigation – The Group mitigates this risk by providing excellent
service. Customer complaints and non-conformances are reviewed monthly by
members of the Executive Leadership team.
Product recall
A product recall due to a quality or safety issue would have serious
repercussions to the business in terms of potential cost and reputational
damage as a supplier to critical systems.
Risk mitigation – We perform 100% functional testing on all own-manufactured
products and 100% hi-pot testing, which determines the adequacy of electrical
insulation, on own-manufactured products. This ensures the integrity of the
isolation barrier between the mains supply and the end user of the equipment.
We also test all the medical products we manufacture to ensure the leakage
current is within the medical specifications.
Where we have contracts with customers, we always limit our contractual
liability regarding recall costs.
Competition from new market entrants and new technologies
The power supply market is diverse and competitive. The Directors believe that
the development of new technologies could give rise to significant new
competition to the Group, which may have a material effect on its business. At
the lower end of the Group’s target market, in terms of both power range and
programme size, the barriers to entry are lower and there is, therefore, a
risk that competition could quickly increase, particularly from emerging
low-cost manufacturers in Asia.
Risk mitigation – The Group reviews activities of its competition, in
particular product releases, and stays up to date with new technological
advances in our industry, especially those relating to new components and
materials. The Group also tries to keep its cost base competitive by operating
in low-cost geographies where appropriate.
The general direction of our product roadmap is to move away from lower
complexity products and to increase our engineering solutions capabilities so
reducing the inherent market competitiveness.
The Group ensures own and external intellectual properties are protected.
Risks relating to regulation, compliance and taxation
The Group operates in multiple jurisdictions with applicable trade and tax
regulations that vary. Failing to comply with local regulations or a change in
legislation could impact the profits of the Group. In addition, the effective
tax rate of the Group is affected by where its profits fall geographically.
The Group’s effective tax rate could therefore fluctuate over time and have
an impact on earnings and potentially its share price.
Risk mitigation – An outsourced internal audit function has been introduced
to provide risk assurance in targeted areas of the business and
recommendations for improvement. The scope of these reviews includes
behaviour, culture, and ethics.
The Group hires employees with relevant skills and uses external advisers to
keep up to date with changes in regulations and to remain compliant.
The Group establishes clear healthy and safety policy and procedures.
Strategic risk associated with valuing or integrating new acquisitions
The Group may elect from time to time to make strategic acquisitions. A degree
of uncertainty exists in valuation and in particular in evaluating potential
synergies. Post-acquisition risks arise in the form of change of control and
integration challenges. Any of these could influence the Group’s revenues,
results of operations and financial condition.
Risk mitigation – Preparation of robust business plans and cash projections
with sensitivity analysis and the help of professional advisers if
appropriate.
Post-acquisition reviews are performed to extract ‘lessons learned’.
Loss of key personnel or failure to attract new personnel
The future success of the Group is substantially dependent on the continued
services and continuing contributions of its Directors, senior management, and
other key personnel. The loss of the services of key employees could have a
material adverse effect on own business.
Risk mitigation – The Group undertakes performance evaluations and reviews
to help it stay close to its key personnel as well as annual employee
engagement surveys. Where considered appropriate, the Group also makes use of
financial retention tools such as equity awards.
Exposure to exchange rate fluctuations
The Group deals in many currencies for both its purchases and sales including
US Dollars, Euro, and its reporting currency Pounds Sterling. In particular,
North America represents an important geographic market for the Group where
virtually all the revenues are denominated in US Dollars. The Group also
sources components in US Dollars and the Chinese Yuan. The Group therefore has
an exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. This could lead to material
adverse movements in reported earnings.
Risk mitigation – The Group reviews balance sheet and cash flow currency
exposures and where considered appropriate, uses forward exchange contracts to
hedge these exposures.
The Group does not hedge any translation of its subsidiaries’ results to
Sterling for reporting purposes.
Risk associated with Supply Chain
The Group is dependent on retaining its key suppliers and on their ability to
meet their obligations to the Group. Global supply chains continued to be
under pressure mainly due to component shortages and global logistics, partly
related to the COVID-19 restrictions in China .
As the proportion of our own-manufactured products has increased, the reliance
on suppliers for third party product has been mitigated proportionally. There
has been a shift from a finished goods risk to a raw materials risk.
Risk Mitigation - We conduct regular audits of our key suppliers and in
addition keep large amounts of safety inventory of key components, which we
also regularly review. We also dual source our components where possible to
minimise dependency on any single supplier.
Climate related risks
The Group is exposed to climate related risks that can have a negative impact
on the business. Extreme weather events or local power supply robustness can
cause disruptions to our manufacturing sites and supply chain. Failure to meet
the defined net zero targets may cause reputational damage, dissuade potential
investors, or result in greater costs from any introduction of carbon pricing.
Risk Mitigation - The Group operates with flexibility in capacity across sites
and can also respond to temporary outages with changes in working patterns to
compensate. We are also currently constructing a third major site in Malaysia,
which will provide further manufacturing flexibility and reduce reliance on
the Vietnam site.
We perform regular review on relevant policies and KPIs to ensure set targets
are deliverable.
