Global Invacom Group Limited

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

Results for the six months ended 30 June 2022

Singapore/London, 12 August 2022 - Global Invacom Group Limited (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 2022 ("1H FY2022").

Key financial highlights:

   --    Revenue for 1H FY2022 of US$37.4m (1H FY2021: US$40.4m) 
   --    Gross Profit for 1H FY2022 of US$7.4m (1H FY2021: US$8.8m) 
   --    Net loss for 1H FY2022 of US$3.3m (1H FY2021: US$1.2m net loss) 
   --    Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2022 of US$10.0m (31 December 2021: US$10.8m) 

Key operational highlights:

-- Shortage of semiconductors globally, alongside material availability, price increases and labour challenges, continues to impact the Company's ability to satisfy existing orders and has impacted revenue growth in the period

-- The Group has embarked on a business review exercise, to better manage our operations, and to improve the performance of the Group

-- The Group's partnership with Methera Global Communications Limited ("Methera") and its subcontractors, announced in October 2021, is progressing well

-- In the first half of 2022, launched latest Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ("SCADA") products for hubs and remote locations

-- In May 2022, launched innovative Mini-Global Navigation Satellite System repeater kit, increasing the Group's footprint in the commercial, military and aviation markets

Global Invacom remains well positioned to capitalise on the expected growth opportunities in the Data Over Satellite ("DOS") market, as well as the normalisation of remote working, with individuals and workforces around the globe now increasingly dependent on reliable connectivity for their daily lives.

The Group delivered sales of US$37.4 million in the first half of the year, versus US$40.4 million in 1H FY2021. This decrease was due to the shortage of semiconductors globally which continues to impact the Company's ability to satisfy existing orders and generate associated additional revenue as well as the delay in the launch of Jupiter 3. Furthermore, the Group continues to be impacted by cost price increases, compounded by labour challenges as well as business challenges faced by our customers.

The Group continues to assess its cost base to streamline certain core functions and continues to reduce administrative costs, whilst not impacting its offering to customers.

Research and development continue to be an area of importance for management with ongoing focus on product development, underpinning Global Invacom's market-leading position in the satellite communications equipment and electronics sector.

DOS remains a key product category for Global Invacom, with the accelerated demand for dependable and affordable DOS devices across a wide range of industries, including the healthcare and defence sectors, showing no signs of abating. Consequently, the Group introduced new SCADA products for hubs and remote locations which continue Global Invacom's legacy of developing world-leading satellite communications ground equipment. New products launched include antennas and Very-small-aperture Terminal ("VSAT") transceivers, alongside advanced Radio Frequency ("RF") equipment designed and manufactured by Global Skyware.

These new equipment bundles create a straightforward set up to receive and transmit signals for a full private networking solution, capable of reaching any SCADA and Machine-to-machine ("M2M") Telemetry site. It is compatible with both Internet Protocol ("IP") and legacy serial devices, and operates independently from terrestrial communications systems, thus providing dedicated and secure data communications for mission-critical traffic.

In addition to the development of new satellite communications ground equipment bundles, Global Invacom's subsidiary OnePath Networks Limited, trading as Global Foxcom, broadened its range of Satcom Repeater solutions with the launch of its innovative Mini-Global Navigation Satellite System ("GNSS") repeater kit, increasing its footprint in the commercial, military and aviation markets.

The Group's partnership with Methera and its subcontractors, announced in October 2021, is progressing well, and Global Invacom remains on track to deliver Ka-band user terminals to market in 2024 to help meet the fast-growing demand for connectivity to non-geostationary satellite orbit constellations, leveraging funding awarded by the European Space Agency.

Given the market challenges that the Group has faced over the past two years and what may become "new normals", the Group has embarked on a business review exercise, to better manage our operations, and to improve the performance of the Group.

Tony Taylor, Executive Chairman of Global Invacom, commented:

"Trading across the first six months of the year has not been without its challenges, as we continue to adjust to the ongoing shortages for semiconductors globally, alongside inflationary pressures across our business. These factors are not unique to our business, and we continue to drive the Company forward, which for us means an unrivalled commitment to our customers to remain at the cutting edge of innovation and product development.

Whilst we are fully aware the broader macro picture will take time to improve, Global Invacom remains well placed to capitalise on the growing demand for satellite communications services globally."

   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 2022 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 2022 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 2021.

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 2021, 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 2022. 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 2021.

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 11 - useful lives of 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 six months ended 30 June 2022 ("1H FY2022") decreased by 7.5% to US$37.4 million from US$40.4 million in the prior year ("1H FY2021"). The ongoing shortage of semiconductors globally and the delay in the launch of Jupiter 3 continues to impact the Group's ability to satisfy existing orders and generate associated additional revenue.

Geographically, the Group's revenue for 1H FY2022 decreased in America by US$5.8 million (-24.9%), partially offset by an increase in Europe, Asia and Rest of the World by US$0.5 million (+4.5%), US$0.01 million (+0.8%) and US$2.3 million (+44.4%), respectively.

Gross Profit

The decrease in revenue has resulted in a 16.1% decrease in gross profit from US$8.8 million in 1H FY2021 to US$7.4 million in 1H FY2022. Gross profit margin has decreased marginally by 2 .0 percentage points from 21.7% to 19 .7 %, impacted by cost price increases, compounded by labour shortages.

Other Income

Other income in 1H FY2022 were mainly from gains on the disposal of equipment and foreign exchange gains. Other income in 1H FY2021 were 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 comprised subsidy support received from various government bodies across the Group due to the pandemic.

Administrative and Research and Development Expenses

Administrative expenses, together with research and development expenses, for 1H FY2022 decreased 7.4% to US$10.1 million compared to US$10.9 million in 1H FY2021, representing 26.9% of revenue in both periods. The ongoing cost control measures across the Group to streamline certain core functions, in line with the challenging market dynamics, have resulted in lower administrative expenses being incurred, whilst not impacting its offering to the customers.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses in 1H FY2022 were attributed mainly to impairment loss on trade receivables and final liquidation fees of a subsidiary in China.

Loss Before Tax & Net Loss

The Group posted a loss before tax of US$3.3 million in 1H FY2022, compared to a loss before tax of US$1.1 million in 1H FY2021.

Overall, the Group posted a net loss of US$3.3 million in 1H FY2022, compared to a net loss of US$1.2 million in 1H FY2021.

   2.      Review of Performance of the Group (cont'd) 
   2.2    Review of Financial Position 

Non-current assets decreased by US$1.6 million to US$20.6 million as at 30 June 2022, due to the depreciation of plant and equipment, the right-of-use assets and the amortisation of intangible assets.

Net current assets decreased by US$1.9 million to US$27.2 million as at 30 June 2022 compared to US$29.1 million as at 31 December 2021. Inventories, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables decreased by US$0.6 million, US$3.9 million and US$2.3 million respectively, with the decrease in sales. Tax receivables increased by US$0.1 million to US$0.2 million.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by US$0.8 million to US$10.0 million as at 30 June 2022 from US$10.8 million at 31 December 2021 and borrowings decreased by US$0.4 million to US$5.7 million as at 30 June 2022 from US$6.1 million as at 31 December 2021.

Repayment of leases has resulted in a decrease of US$0.6 million in the current portion of lease liabilities and US$0.2 million in the non-current portion of lease liabilities.

The Group's net asset value stood at US$44.1 million as at 30 June 2022, compared to US$47.4 million as at 31 December 2021.

   2.3    Review of Cash Flows 

In 1H FY2022, net cash generated from operating activities amounted to US$0.8 million, comprising US$0.8 million cash outflow from operating activities (before working capital changes), US$1.9 million net working capital inflow and US$0.3 million payment of interest and income tax.

Net cash used in investing activities in 1H FY2022 amounted to US$0.3 million, mainly due to the purchase of machinery and equipment, set off against the proceeds from the disposal of machinery and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to US$1.3 million in 1H FY2022, attributable to the repayment of borrowings and lease liabilities.

Overall, the Group recorded a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents amounting to US$0.8 million in 1H FY2022, bringing cash and cash equivalents per the consolidated statement of cash flows to US$10.0 million as at 30 June 2022.

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 Group's financial and operational performance in the next reporting period and the next 12 months will continue to be influenced by the much-publicised shortage of semiconductors globally, which continues to impact the Company's ability to satisfy existing orders and generate associated additional revenue. Furthermore, the Group continues to be impacted by cost price increases, compounded by labour challenges a s well as business challenges faced by our customers .

As a direct consequence of the above external factors, the Group continues to assess its cost base to streamline certain core functions and continues to reduce administrative costs, whilst not impacting its offering to customers.

Given the market challenges that the Group has faced over the past two years and what may become "new normals", the Group has embarked on a business review exercise, to better manage our operations, and to improve the performance of the Group.
