Global Invacom Group Limited
25 February 2022
Global Invacom Group Limited
("Global Invacom", the "Company" or the "Group")
Final Results for the year ended 31 December 2021
Singapore/London, 25 February 2022 - Global Invacom (SGX: QS9)
(AIM: GINV), the global provider of satellite communications
equipment and electronics , announces its unaudited financial
results for the year ended 31 December 2021 ("FY2021").
Notwithstanding the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on
global trade, the Group is pleased to report a profit for the
year.
Key financial highlights:
-- Revenue for FY2021 decreased 19.9% to US$82.5 million (FY2020: US$103.1 million)
-- Gross profit decreased to US$16.6 million (FY2020: US$25.7 million)
-- Net profit decreased to US$0.6 million (FY2020: US$2.6 million)
Key operational highlights:
-- Ongoing demand for high-tech and reliable Data over Satellite
("DOS") and Direct to Home ("DTH") devices from stable sectors
including the defence and healthcare industries
-- Launched new products across all segments, bolstering the
Group's portfolio and generating additional cross sell
opportunities
-- Granted European Space Agency funding to develop a Ka-band
user terminal and a larger enterprise solution in partnership with
Methera Global Communications Limited
-- Successful and effective transition of R&D and office
staff to remote working, however lingering global supply chain
disruption continues to cause delays in delivering forward
sales
-- Current year likely impacted by broader macro headwinds
including ongoing inflationary pressure across international
shipping, wages (particularly in the U.S.) and raw materials
(including steel)
The combination of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and the well
documented global supply chain issues were key features in forming
the broader trading conditions for the Group throughout 2021.
Management believes that, whilst demand for the Company's products
will remain robust, economic headwinds, including supply shortages
within the semiconductor sector, and ongoing inflationary pressure
across international shipping, wages (particularly in the U.S.) and
raw materials (including steel), will likely impact the performance
of the business in the current financial year.
As with the prior year, and given the global nature of Global
Invacom's business, the health and safety of all our staff,
partners, suppliers and customers continues to be of paramount
importance. Faced with these challenges, the commitment of Global
Invacom's global workforce who have overcome considerable obstacles
to support the business throughout the year is laudable.
Despite a reduction in customer activity, Global Invacom
remained profitable for the year ended 31 December 2021,
facilitated by the implementation of pragmatic cost-saving
initiatives, including a reduction in marketing activity and
various government grants , to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic. The Group's prudent transition of R&D employees and
office staff to remote working from 2020 have enabled our
international network of teams to function efficiently throughout
2021.
During 2021, the Group focused on launching a range of
innovative devices to augment its product offering across all key
categories. New additions to Global Invacom's portfolio include the
Optical to Optical ("O2O") converter, a Fibre to the Home ("FTTH")
device designed to increase the number of subscribers that can be
connected to a single dish, and Ku-Band and C-Band VSAT Radio
Frequency ("RF") Block Up Converters, two new DOS products that
consolidate the Group's unique position as a leading manufacturer
and supplier of VSAT RF electronics, antennas and feeds.
The Group continues to ensure new products function seamlessly
with existing Global Invacom devices, providing an upgraded service
whilst simultaneously generating valuable cross selling
opportunities. As the satellite communications industry continues
to evolve and new technologies emerge, the Group is focused on
leveraging its R&D capabilities to future-proof new devices.
With teams based in hubs across the globe, Global Invacom's
employees can rapidly respond to regulatory updates in regional
markets to ensure the Group continues to develop cutting-edge
competitive products.
A key long-term partnership with Methera Global Communications
Limited ("Methera") and its subcontractors was announced in October
2021, where, under the Advanced Research in Telecommunications
Systems programme, the Group was awarded European Space Agency
funding to contribute towards the development of a low-cost Ka-band
user terminal and a larger enterprise solution for use with DOS.
The Company aims to deliver terminals to market in 2024 to meet the
surge in demand for connectivity to non-geostationary satellite
orbit ("NGSO") constellations. Significantly, Global Invacom is
responsible for designing and manufacturing the fully integrated
user terminal which aims to give remote and under-connected
communities across the globe access to affordable satellite
broadband by offering service providers and operators
constellations.
More generally, O3b mPOWER plan to launch their O3b mPOWER
communications system during 2022, which comprises of an initial
constellation of 11 high-performance satellites, intelligent
software and extensive ground infrastructure. Hughes, the global
provider of high-speed satellite internet service, also indicated
that their much-anticipated GEO satellite Jupiter system is
currently scheduled to be launched during Q4 2022.
Globally, the normalisation of remote working across an array of
sectors is a development which will benefit the Group in the
medium-to-long-term, accelerating the demand for fast and reliable
connectivity from businesses and consumers, as strong domestic
connectivity has become essential for both work and leisure. The
underlying versatility of the Group, a designer, manufacturer, and
provider of satellite communications solutions, was integral to
securing the partnership with Methera and will continue to provide
Global Invacom with opportunities to serve the growing DOS market
as well as the sizeable demand for DTH products.
Board Composition
In July 2021, the Group appointed Gordon Blaikie as an Executive
Director to replace Malcolm Burrell who stepped down from his roles
of Executive Director and Chief Technical Officer as part of his
retirement plan. Mr Blaikie has worked with Global Invacom for 10
years progressing to become the Group's Chief Operating Officer, a
role he remains in alongside his new position as Executive Director
of the Company. Mr Blaikie has supervised the manufacturing
entities and sales functions of the Group and regularly worked
closely with the Board and senior management team to streamline and
enhance the Group's operating performance. Mr Burrell remains the
Group's Chief Risk Officer, overseeing the risk and sustainability
management of the Group.
Concurrently, Derek Grice was appointed as the Group's new Chief
Technical Officer. Mr Grice is leveraging his 35+ years of
satellite product development experience and DOS market knowhow to
oversee the development of new technologies and products for
current and future market opportunities being addressed by the
Company, as well as manage stakeholder relationships, effectively
communicating technology advances and innovations.
Outlook
Whilst the Company continues to see strong demand for its
products, the current financial year remains challenging. Although
the impact of the Covid pandemic is easing, management remains
vigilant as to the financial impact of any potential future
lockdowns. Elsewhere, supply shortages within the semiconductor
sector, and ongoing inflationary pressure across international
shipping, wages (particularly in the U.S.) and raw materials
(including steel), will likely impact the performance of the
business in the current financial year.
Financial Review
The Group's revenue for the year ended 31 December 2021
("FY2021") decreased by 19.9% to US$82.5 million from US$103.1
million in the prior year ("FY2020"). Revenue for the second half
year ended 31 December 2021 ("2H FY2021") was US$42.1 million
against US$50.3 million in the prior year ("2H FY2020"). The
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Group globally, as there
have been a reduction in orders from our customers. It has also
impacted the Group's production facilities around the world as
working practices were adapted to comply with regional variations
on social distancing guidelines during the pandemic.
Geographically, Group revenue for FY2021 decreased in America by
US$22.8 million (-32.9%) and increased in Europe, Asia and Rest of
the World ("RoW") by US$0.5 million (+2.0%), US$0.5 million
(+11.9%) and US$1.3 million (+22.5%), respectively. Revenue for 2H
FY2021 decreased in America and RoW by US$10.1 million (-30.2%) and
US$0.9 million (-32.3%), respectively, compensated by an increase
in Europe and Asia by US$1.5 million (+13.0%) and US$1.3 million
(+59.8%), respectively, compared to the prior year.
The decrease in revenue resulted in a 35.6% decrease in gross
profit from US$25.7 million in FY2020 to US$16.6 million in FY2021.
Gross profit margin has decreased by 4.8 percentage points from
24.9% to 20.1%, mainly attributable to higher materials costs and
the supply chain constraints that continue to cause disruptions to
the Group.
Similarly, gross profit decreased from US$13.4 million in 2H
FY2020 to US$7.8 million in 2H FY2021. Gross profit margin has
decreased by 8.2 percentage points from 26.6% to 18.4%.
Administrative expenses, together with research and development
expenses, for FY2021 decreased 9.0% to US$20.9 million compared to
US$23.0 million in FY2020, representing 22.3% and 25.3% of revenue,
respectively. The ongoing cost control measures across the Group,
including a reduction in travelling and marketing activity, have
resulted in lower administrative expenses being incurred. For 2H
FY2021, administrative and research and development expenses
decreased 16.1% to US$10.0 million compared to US$12.0 million in
the previous year, representing 23.8% of revenue for both
periods.
In 2H FY2021, the UK Group received research and development tax
credits from the UK government and, coupled with deferred taxes,
resulted in the Group recording a net profit of US$1.7 million
compared to US$2.3 million in the prior year, representing a margin
of 4.1% and 4.5%, respectively. For FY2021, the Group recorded a
net profit of US$0.6 million, compared to US$2.6 million the prior
year, representing a margin of 0.7% and 2.5%, respectively.
The Group recorded a net increase in cash and cash equivalents
amounting to US$1.3 million and net decrease amounting to US$0.5
million in 2H FY2021 and FY2021, respectively, bringing cash and
cash equivalents per the consolidated statement of cash flows to
US$10.8 million as at 31 December 2021.
Tony Taylor, Executive Chairman of Global Invacom,
commented:
"2021 was another challenging year for Global Invacom, but,
despite broader macro-economic headwinds impacting our markets, the
Group delivered another profitable performance, underpinning the
resilience of our business.
The Group's new products and R&D efforts, alongside our
partnership with Methera, demonstrate our ambitions, and we
anticipate that significant further commercial opportunities will
be generated over the medium term.
The Board and management would like to thank our dedicated team
who continue to work tirelessly to help the Group across all key
operations."

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

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
and full year ended 31 December 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

2. Review of Performance of the Group
2.1 Review of Financial Performance
Revenue
T he Group's revenue for the year ended 31 December 2021
("FY2021") decreased by 19.9% to US$82.5 million from US$103.1
million in the prior year ("FY2020"). Revenue for the second half
year ended 31 December 2021 ("2H FY2021") was US$42.1 million
against US$50.3 million in the prior year ("2H FY2020"). T he
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Group globally, as there
have been a reduction in orders from our customers. It has also
impacted the Group's production facilities around the world as our
working practices were adapted to comply with regional variations
on COVID-19 Work Restrictions and social distancing guidelines
during the pandemic.
Geographically, Group revenue for FY2021 decreased in America by
US$22.8 million (-32.9%) and increased in Europe, Asia and Rest of
the World ("RoW") by US$0.5 million (+2.0%), US$0.5 million
(+11.9%) and US$1.3 million (+22.5%), respectively. Revenue for 2H
FY2021 decreased in America and RoW by US$10.1 million (-30.2%) and
US$0.9 million (-32.3%), respectively, compensated by an increase
in Europe and Asia by US$1.5 million (+13.0%) and US$1.3 million
(+59.8%), respectively, compared to the prior year.
Gross Profit
The decrease in revenue resulted in a 35.6% decrease in gross
profit from US$25.7 million in FY2020 to US$ 16.6 million in
FY2021. Gross profit margin has decreased by 4.8 percentage points
from 24.9% to 20.1 %, mainly attributable to higher materials costs
and the supply chain constraints that continue to cause disruptions
to the Group.
Similarly, gross profit decreased from US$13.4 million in 2H
FY2020 to US$ 7.8 million in 2H FY2021. Gross profit margin has
decreased by 8.2 percentage points from 26.6% to 18 .4 %.
Other Income
Other income in 2H FY2021 and FY2021 relates primarily to a
grant from the US government of US$2.7 million, gain on disposal of
equipment of US$1.1 million, write-back of payables of US$0.9
million and subsidy support received from various government bodies
across the Group due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Administrative and Research and Development Expenses
Administrative expenses, together with research and development
expenses, for FY2021 decreased 9.0% to US$20.9 million compared to
US$23.0 million in FY2020, representing 25.3% and 22.3% of revenue,
respectively. The ongoing cost control measures across the Group,
including a reduction in travelling and marketing activity, have
resulted in lower administrative expenses being incurred. For 2H
FY2021, administrative and research and development expenses,
decreased 16.1% to US$ 10.0 million compared to US$12.0 million in
the previous year, representing 23.8% of revenue for both
periods.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses in 2H FY2021 and FY2021 were attributed
mainly to foreign exchange losses.

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 combination of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and the well
documented global supply chain issues were key feature in forming
the broader trading conditions for the Group throughout 2021.
Management believes that, whilst demand for the Company's products
will remain robust, economic headwinds, including supply shortages
within the semiconductor sector, and ongoing inflationary pressure
across international shipping, wages (particularly in the U.S.) and
raw materials (including steel), will likely impact the performance
of the business in the current financial year.
As with the prior year, and given the global nature of Global
Invacom's business, the health and safety of all our staff,
partners, suppliers and customers continues to be of paramount
importance.
Despite the impact of these global headwinds on the Company's
financial performance, Global Invacom remained profitable in the
year, facilitated by the implementation of pragmatic cost-saving
initiatives, including a reduction in marketing activity and
various government grants, to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic. The Group's prudent transition of R&D employees and
office staff to remote working from 2020 have enabled our
international network of teams to function efficiently throughout
2021.
During 2021, the Group focused on launching a range of
innovative devices to augment its product offering across all key
categories. New additions to Global Invacom's portfolio include the
Optical to Optical ("O2O") converter, a Fibre to the Home ("FTTH")
device designed to increase the number of subscribers that can be
connected to a single dish, and Ku-Band and C-Band VSAT Radio
Frequency ("RF") Block Up Converters, two new DOS products that
consolidate the Group's unique position as a leading manufacturer
and supplier of VSAT RF electronics, antennas and feeds.
The Group continues to ensure new products are expertly designed
to work in tandem with existing Global Invacom devices, providing
an upgraded service whilst simultaneously generating valuable cross
selling opportunities. As the satellite communications industry
continues to evolve and new technologies emerge, the Group is
focused on leveraging its R&D capabilities to future-proof new
devices. With teams based in hubs across the globe, Global
Invacom's employees can rapidly respond to regulatory updates in
regional markets to ensure the Group continues to develop
cutting-edge competitive products.
More generally, O3b mPOWER plan to launch their O3b mPOWER
communications system during 2022, which comprises of an initial
constellation of 11 high-performance satellites, intelligent
software and extensive ground infrastructure. Hughes, the global
provider of high-speed satellite internet service, also indicated
that their much-anticipated GEO satellite Jupiter system is
currently scheduled to be launched during Q4 2022.
The Group remains well-positioned to benefit from the recovery
of the global economy and the continued growth of its target DOS
market. As the broader restrictions associated with the COVID-19
pandemic ease along with the well documented supply chain
pressures, Global Invacom's products will continue to play a
significant role in meeting the continued growth in demand for data
and connectivity.
