Global Invacom Group Limited

("Global Invacom", the "Company" or the "Group")

Results for the six months ended 30 June 2021

Singapore/London, 13 August 2021 - Global Invacom (SGX: QS9) (AIM: GINV), the global provider of satellite communications equipment and electronics, is pleased to announce its financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2021 ("1H FY2021").

Key financial highlights:

   --    Revenue for 1H FY2021 of US$40.4m (1H FY2020: US$52.8m) 
   --    Gross Profit for 1H FY2021 of US$8.8m (1H FY2020: US$12.4m) 
   --    Net loss for 1H FY2021 of US$1.2m (1H FY2020: US$0.3m net profit) 
   --    Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2021 of US$9.4m (31 December 2020: US$11.3m) 

Key operational highlights:

-- Continued demand for Direct to Home ("DTH") products through the Company's key customer in the United States, providing an ongoing revenue base albeit at lower levels than previous years

-- Demand for Data Over Satellite ("DOS") products continues to grow, driven by ongoing demand for connectivity and data delivery through the COVID-19 pandemic

   --    Global supply chains continue to be impacted by COVID-19 pandemic 
   --    The Group has undertaken cost reduction measures 

The financial performance of the Group in the first half of 2021 reflects broader ongoing COVID-19 challenges. The much-publicised disruption to supply chains and problems with the availability of key products, including semi-conductors and capacitors, continues to be a challenge for the Company. Furthermore, the Company has also been impacted by supply chain and global transportation network issues as a result of government restrictions, the introduction of quarantine and additional checks and measures, coupled with a shortage of personnel at key sites such as ports. This has ultimately led to a delay in the transport of products from the manufacturing facility to customer sites.

The Group delivered sales of US$ 40.4 million in the first half of the year. Geographically, we saw ongoing sales pressure in America, Europe and Asia, with an increase in demand across the Rest of the World. The United States, which remains a significant market for the Group, continues to be impacted by the ongoing pandemic, which has translated to a fall in anticipated orders.

As reported in the FY2020 full year results statement, in 2020 the Group restructured its development, sales and marketing teams to focus on the DOS products, a growth market, leaving just a core team focused on the DTH markets. The Group has also undertaken, and is continuing, a restructuring across the Group to reduce its cost base, removing excess headcount in non-core functions, and a reduction in administrative costs.

DOS continues to underpin 4G/5G and high-speed broadband access, service providers are adopting satellite solutions to meet the significant growth in demand where traditional fibre and cable solutions are not viable. We continue to work to position ourselves to take advantage of this potential growth in demand.

The Group's DTH products continue to generate good sales, albeit at lower levels than in previous years. As such, we continue to invest in the development of bespoke new products for our key customer in the United States but have reduced the size of the team focused on this segment.

The Group continues to monitor the pandemic situation closely, carrying out rigorous risk assessments and implementing stringent hygiene procedures across our sites. This has enabled us to allow our employees to return to work safely should they wish to do so. As a global business, the Group continues to monitor the situation closely and to adhere to all relevant Government guidelines for the regions in which it is present.

The challenges faced by the Group in the first half will likely continue to impact the Group's business throughout FY2021. Notwithstanding that, the Group believes Global Invacom's products have a key role to play in the provision of this connectivity as restrictions ease across territories, supply chains recover, and demand starts to normalise.

Tony Taylor, Executive Chairman of Global Invacom, commented:

"The first half of 2021 has been challenging as we faced down a number of operational and macroeconomic headwinds. Despite this, our business has delivered a solid performance, supported by a highly skilled and talented workforce.

"As global restrictions ease, and supply chains move more freely, I firmly believe our business is ideally placed to deliver a sustainable recovery in the medium term."

   E.      Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements 
   1.      General Information 

Global Invacom Group Limited (the "Company") is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Singapore and is listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST"). The Company is also listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") in the United Kingdom (UK). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2021 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). The principal activity of the Company is that of an investment holding company.

The principal activities of the Group are design, manufacture and supply of a full range of satellite ground equipment, including antennas, LNB receivers, transceivers, fibre distribution equipment, transmitters, switches and video distribution components.

   2.      Basis of Preparation 

The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) ("SFRS(I)") 1-34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Accounting Standards Council Singapore. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year which were prepared in accordance with SFRS(I)s and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out in Note 2.1.

The condensed interim financial statements are presented in United States dollar which is the Company's functional currency.

   2.1    New and amended standards adopted by the Group 

There has been no change in the accounting policies and methods of computation adopted by the Group for the current reporting period compared with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the adoption of new or revised SFRS(I) and interpretations of SFRS(I) ("INT SFRS(I)") that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2021. The adoption of these SFRS(I) and INT SFRS(I) has no significant impact on the Group.

   2.2    Use of judgements and estimates 

In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

   --      Note 9 - capitalised development costs 
   --      Note 11 - impairment test on property, plant and equipment 
   --      Note 12 - impairment test on investments in subsidiaries 

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next interim period are included in the following notes:

   --      Note 10 - impairment test of goodwill: key assumptions underlying recoverable amounts 
   --      Note 11 - useful lives of property, plant and equipment 
   3.      Seasonal Operations 

The Group's businesses are not affected significantly by seasonal or cyclical factors during the six months ended 30 June 2021.

   4.      Segment and Revenue Information 

The Group is organised into the following main business segments:

   --             Satellite C ommunications ("Sat Comms"); and 
   --             Contract Manufacturing ("CM")

   9.      Fair Value Measurement 

The Group and the Company categories fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that is dependent on the valuation inputs used as follows:

(i) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date (Level 1);

(ii) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) (Level 2); and

(iii) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The following table presents the financial assets and financial liabilities measurement at fair value as at the statement of financial position date by level of the fair value hierarchy:

 
                                       Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total

9.1 Fair value of the Group's and the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Group and Company's financial asset, at fair value through profit or loss as at the statement of financial position date is considered not significant.

9.2 Fair value of the Group's and the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (but fair value disclosure is required)

(i) The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than 1 year, which include cash and cash equivalents, borrowings, receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

(ii) The carrying amount of non-current portion of loans to subsidiaries, non-current portion of other payables and non-current lease liabilities to the financial statements are reasonable approximation of their fair value.

   9.3    Valuation Policies and Procedures 

The Group and the Company has established a control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This framework includes the finance team that reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer and has overall responsibility for all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values.

The finance team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information is used to measure fair value, then the finance team assesses and documents the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of SFRS(I), including the level in the fair value hierarchy the resulting fair value estimate should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Company's Audit and Risk Committee.

   2.      Review of Performance of the Group 
   2.1    Review of Financial Performance 

Revenue

T he Group's revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2021 ("1H FY2021") decreased by 23.4% to US$40.4 million from US$52.8 million in the prior year ("1H FY2020"). The current COVID-19 pandemic situation has impacted the business of the Group globally. The Group has seen a reduction in orders from our customers and selected impact on our production facilities around the world as we adapted our working practices to comply with regional variations on social distancing and best practices during this pandemic.

Geographically, the Group's revenue for 1H FY2021 decreased in America, Europe and Asia by US$12.7 million (-35.4%), US$1.1 million (-8.8%) and US$0.8 million (-40.0%), respectively, offset by an increase in Rest of the World by US$2.2 million (+78.6 %).

Gross Profit

The decrease in revenue has resulted in a 28.9 % decrease in gross profit from US$12.4 million in 1H FY2020 to US$ 8.8 million in 1H FY2021. Gross profit margin has decreased marginally by 1.7 percentage points from 23.4% to 21.7 %, mainly attributable to higher materials, shipping and logistics costs due to the ongoing pandemic and supply chain constraints.

Other Income

Other income in 1H FY2021 was derived mainly from gains on the disposal of equipment of US$1.1 million, gain on lease modifications of US$0.2 million, with the remainder comprising subsidy support received from various government bodies across the Group due to the pandemic.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses for 1H FY2021 decreased 1.4 % to US$ 10.9 million compared to US$11.0 million in 1H FY2020, representing 26.9 % and 20.9% of revenue, respectively. The ongoing cost control measures across the Group globally, coupled with reduction in travelling, marketing, trade shows etc. during this pandemic period has resulted in lower administrative expenses incurred.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses in 1H FY2021 were attributed mainly to foreign exchange losses and bad debts written off.

Profit Before Tax & Net Profit

The Group posted a loss before tax of US$ 1.1 million in 1H FY2021, compared to a profit of US$0.5 million in 1H FY2020.

Overall, the Group posted a net loss of US$ 1.2 million in 1H FY2021, compared to a net profit of US$0.3 million in 1H FY2020.

   2.2    Review of Financial Position 

Non-current assets decreased by US$1.8 million to US$23.8 million as at 30 June 2021, due to the depreciation of plant and equipment, the right-of-use assets and the amortisation of intangible assets.

Trade and other receivables increased by US$3.1 million due to slower collections, offset by a decrease in inventories and trade and other payables of US$1.1 million and US$ 2.3 million respectively, resulting from inventory control, longer shipment lead times and continuing payment to suppliers.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by US$1.8 million to US$9.4 million as at 30 June 2021 from US$11.3 million at 31 December 2020 and borrowings increased by US$2.3 million to US$6.2 million as at 30 June 2021 from US$3.9 million as at 31 December 2020.

With the repayment of leases, the non-current portion of the lease liabilities decreased by US$0.5 million to US$4.3 million as at 30 June 2021.

The Group's net asset value stood at US$46.1 million as at 30 June 2021, compared to US$46.9 million as at 31 December 2020.

   2.3    Review of Cash Flows

3. Where a forecast, or a prospect statement, has been previously disclosed to shareholders, any variance between it and the actual results.

No prospect statement was made.

4. A commentary at the date of the announcement of the significant trends and competitive conditions of the industry in which the group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has continued to impact sales and profit growth in the period. We have now implemented processes enabling our employees to return to work safely should they wish to do so. As a global business, the Group continues to monitor the situation closely and to adhere to all relevant Government guidelines for the regions in which it is present and has adopted stringent hygiene procedures and safe-distancing measures throughout the business.

The Group's manufacturing sites have continued to experience delays due to global supply chains and availability of core components within its key markets, which has adversely impacted the Group's growth as well as our customers' sales. Equally, shutdowns in certain territories and geographies have also adversely impacted our sales.

Global Invacom's products are expected to play a crucial role in meeting global demand for data and connectivity in the future. The COVID-19 pandemic has served to accelerate global demand for constant connectivity and service providers are increasingly seeking satellite solutions where traditional fibre and cable networks aren't suitable or capable of satisfying demand.

According to Fortune Business Insights, the global satellite market was valued at US$23.4 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow to US$46.5 billion by 2028, driven by universal demand for greater connectivity, coupled with the launch of smaller satellites for use across multiple industries including civil engineering, energy, oil and gas and others. [1]

The Group delivered 1H FY2021 sales of US$40.4 million, with lower demand in America, Europe and Asia, offset by increased demand across the Rest of the World. The United States remains a significant market for the Group.

The challenges faced by the Group in the first half will continue to impact the Group's business throughout FY2021. Notwithstanding that, the Group believes Global Invacom's products have a key role to play in the provision of this connectivity as restrictions ease across territories, supply chains recover, and demand starts to normalise.
