Ami Daniel, CEO and Co-Founder of Windward said:
"The first half of 2023 has been a transformative period for
Windward. We emerged from 2022 with a global leading suite of
solutions for the maritime industry, achieving record levels of new
customer wins. We have delivered strong first-half results while
successfully streamlining our cost base and reducing our cash
burn.
"The backdrop of the war in Ukraine, increasing regulations and
the market-wide drive for efficiencies and cost reductions
continues to underline the need for Windward's solution. These
drivers give us confidence in a strong second half, and our ability
to deliver the roadmap to positive EBITDA run rate exiting FY2024.
We remain focussed on building a highly successful maritime AI
business and excited by the considerable opportunity ahead."
Ami Daniel, Chief Executive Officer, and Ofer Segev, Chief
Financial Officer, will host a live presentation and Q&A

CEO statement
OVERVIEW
In the first half of 2023 we have delivered on a number of
product, people and financial initiatives which have been
implemented throughout the business which we believe will
substantially benefit Windward going forward. We have invested in
our cost base in a measured way, while significantly reducing our
cash burn to bring forward our path to positive EBITDA. However,
this has not been at the expense of commercial success, evidenced
by double-digit ACV and revenue growth, a record number of new
customer wins (particularly in the commercial sector) and continued
enhancement of our platform offering.
We are very pleased with our strong financial metrics which
demonstrate the commercial potential of our offering which we set
out at the time of the IPO. In the first half of 2023 we delivered
revenue growth of 18% to $12.8m and an exit ACV up 23% YoY at 30
June 2023 to $27.6m, providing a strong base as we move into the
second half of the year. We are also pleased with our success in
delivering this growth, while at the same time improving gross
margins and carefully managing costs, reflected in a lower adjusted
EBITDA loss of $3.8m (compared with $5.4m for HY 22) which provides
a clear pathway to achieving positive EBITDA.
The complex web of sanctions and regulatory requirements
continue to drive demand for our Maritime AI solutions. Prompted by
events such as the war in Ukraine, we have observed continually
heightened requirements for our customers throughout 2023,
including the EU Commission's 11th Package of sanctions , which
allows ports to deny entry to vessels utilising deceptive shipping
tactics to circumvent sanctions. This represents a core development
which has made counterparty due diligence a necessity for any
stakeholder in maritime trade to ensure they are not conducting
business with bad actors. We expect such regulatory drivers to
drive further demand for Windward's solutions going forward.
The period has seen us deliver further innovation, launching
market leading products, building on the launches in 2022 of Ocean
Freight Visibility and API Insights Lab. We are delighted with the
success of these initiatives, as demonstrated by the record rate of
customer wins in the period. Our market leading suite of products
and our significantly increased infrastructure has seen our
business scale and sets a firm base for our ambitious growth plans
in the short and medium term.
Our continued investment in R&D and innovation is a
significant expense and is key to our recent success, the current
discussions we are having with a range of potential clients and our
longer-term ambition. It is this investment and the quality of our
people that gives us our competitive advantage and underpins our
confidence for not only the second half of 2023 but well
beyond.
Continued customer expansion
In line with the increasing demand for our technology solutions,
momentum in new customer acquisition seen in 2022 has continued
into FY23, with 49 new customers signed in the first half. We now
have 174 customers, up from 132 at 31 December 2022.
Windward has made major progress in the commercial sector, a
strategic focus to diversify the revenue base, with 48 new
customers signed including BHP, Peninsula Petroleum, and DanPilot -
the national Danish pilotage company. This represents a significant
acceleration when compared to the 53 total customers signed in the
whole of 2022. Commercial ACV now represents 32% of our total ACV,
up from 23% at 30 June 2022, reflecting our continued
diversification and successful execution of our stated strategy.
The Company splits its government customers into two segments;
those governments based outside of the USA (ROW Gov) and the USA
Government. Of these, growth of USA Government is our focus and we
were pleased to see an uplift in revenue and ACV of 28.7% and 26.1%
respectively from this segment in the last 12 months, driving by
expanding use of the platform within existing customers.
As previously reported, we typically expect to see a second-half
weighted performance in this segment on account of the federal
budget cycle.
In line with Windward's land and expand strategy, we have been
successful in increasing the number of users, APIs and services
used by existing customers during the half as our full product
portfolio increasingly becomes more relevant to organisations
across the industry.
More generally, we are observing a range of customers buying
more users or API data points for new use cases and different
departments.
Building our supply chain business
A key aim has been to build the Company's supply chain business
in FY23 as part of our wider Commercial portfolio of offerings,
driven by our Ocean Freight Visibility solution, which enables
customers to manage their supply chain efficiently through best in
class visibility and AI powered insights.
Progress has been encouraging and we secured a number of key
customers and partnerships during the first half, as well as
continuing to enhance the depth of insights available to customers
through additional data and analytics. New customers signed to
Windward's supply chain solution include Nowports and Scan
Global.
Additional capabilities added in the period include our Reasons
For Delay API, providing additional ETA ("estimated time of
arrival") insights to help customers increase efficiencies and
manage costs within their shipping operations. This was later
followed by the launch of our Shipments Analytics Dashboard, which
provides businesses with individualised analytics on past and
current shipments. We expect these key enhancements to continue to
drive adoption of the platform in the second half and beyond.
Key partnerships to drive our expansion
Alongside direct sales, Windward has established a number of key
partnerships and distribution channels with organisations across
the maritime industry. These partnerships represent an opportunity
to expand further Windward's usage across its target sectors.
Recent partnerships signed to increase Windward's presence in
the supply chain market include partnerships with Amital Data,
which integrated our solution into its platform for improved cargo
visibility and Wisor, which partnered with us to incorporate Ocean
Freight Visibility into its offering, providing customers with
precise ETAs and full visibility of container tracking. These
partnerships come as part of the "Windward Inside" partner
programme, which embeds Windward's solutions to partners'
platforms, extending our offering to new customers and markets.
Post-period, we were delighted to announce a partnership with
the London Stock Exchange Group, to integrated Windward's
technology into the LSEG's Workspace platform, providing trading
and chartering users with a first-class solution assess and
mitigate sanctions compliance risks, and a partnership with Amazon
Web Services, allowing AWS customers across all segments to be able
to access the solution via the AWS marketplace.
CURRENT TRADING AND OUTLOOK
We are pleased to report trading momentum has continued into H2
2023, with ACV and revenues tracking in line with our expectations.
With a clear path to achieving positive EBITDA, we continue to
focus on the careful management of costs while continuing to
deliver on our multiple strategic revenue opportunities.
Across supply chain management, sanctions and compliance risk,
and decarbonisation, there remains an unparalleled opportunity for
further expansion in the maritime market. Underlining this
opportunity is the complex regulatory environment, and we are
seeing a growing number of companies across the industry turning to
Windward to help them make better informed decisions and mitigate
risk effectively.
We will continue to invest in our best-in-class, innovative SaaS
offering, backed by decades of maritime expertise, and we look
forward to updating on our progress through the second half.
Financial Review
Windward management and Board regularly review metrics,
including the following KPIs, to assess its performance, identify
trends, develop financial projections and make strategic decisions.
For a review of the key financial metrics, see below.
A KEY DRIVER OF FUTURE REVENUE IS ANNUAL CONTRACT VALUE
(ACV)
ACV is a non-IFRS measure defined as the sum of all ACV for
customers as of the measurement date. The ACV for each customer is
the annual committed subscription value of each order booked for
which Windward will be entitled to recognise revenue. For example,
a contract for $1m with a committed contractual term of two years
would have an ACV of $0.5m, making the assumption for any period
that the customer renews under the same terms and conditions.
As at 30 June 2023, Windward increased its ACV by 23% over 30
June 2022, driven primarily by the increase in customers from 104
to 172 over the same period, and to a lesser extent by an increase
in upsells to existing customers made possible by expansion of the
number of users or the product set. Growth in ACV has been in the
USA Gov and Commercial markets while in ROW Gov ACV remained
unchanged.

------------ -------------- -------------- ---------
We separate our Government customers into two market segments:
Government outside USA (ROW) and USA Government. We do this as the
buying cycle and pricing for each segment is different. For
Government ROW, in most cases Windward is responding to a Request
for Proposal ("RFP") process which can take between 9 to 18 months
to conclude. For the USA Government Windward typically sells a
subscription-based solution on a price per user basis. Historically
most of the annual awards from the U.S. Government agencies are
linked to the U.S. Federal budget cycle which typically concludes
annually at the end of September.
At the end of June 2023 our largest customer was at 10.1% (June
2022: 12%) of ACV and the next 5 biggest customers together were
25.5% (June 2022: 29.3%) of ACV.
The annual ACV churn rate is defined as the value of contracts
lost from the existing customer base one year prior to the
measurement date, as a proportion of the total ACV value of that
existing customer base. The churn rate reflects customer losses and
contractions but not any customer expansions of existing
contracts.
Churn in H1 2023 was 4.7% compared to 5.9% in H1 2022.

REVENUE
Revenue increased by 18.4% to $12.8m (HY 22: $10.8m). This
increase was driven by 28.7% growth and 43.5% growth in our USA
Government and Commercial segments respectively mostly from new
customers adopting our solution for the first time.
Gross margin
Gross margin increased to 78% in 2023 (HY 22: 72%), mostly as a
result of increase in revenue and cost saving actions taken earlier
in the year. Cost of revenues fell from $3.0m to $2.8m as a result
of the cost saving actions undertaken including tight control over
hosting costs. We expect margins to improve over time.
R&D
Research and development decreased slightly from $5.9m in HY 22
to $5.7m in HY 23 mainly due to lower employees and cost control.
All R&D costs are expensed as they occur; we do not capitalise
R&D costs.
S&M
Sales and marketing increased from $5.9m in HY 22 to $6.7m in HY
23. The main reason for the increase was hiring additional sales
managers in Europe and USA.
G&A
General and administrative expenses increased from $2.5m in HY
22 to $3.1m in HY 23 reflecting the increased level of business
activity, mainly through the taking on of additional office
space.
Total expenses increased by 5.8% to $18.3m (HY 22: $17.3m),
including non-cash share based compensation of $1.3m (HY 22:
$0.8m), significantly lower than the 18.4% increase in
revenues.
EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as
(profit before depreciation, amortisation, interest, tax and
share-based payment charges and associated employer tax
charges)
Reconciling EBITDA to adjusted EBITDA for HY 23, the Company
added back $1.3m (HY 22: $0.8m) of stock based compensation
expenses.
Statement of financial position
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Windward had cash, cash equivalents and short term deposits on
30 June 2023 of $17.9m, a decrease of $4.2m from 31 December
2022.
CASH FLOW
Windward used $4.0m to finance operating activities in HY 23, a
52% decrease from the $8.8m used in HY 22, reducing our cash burn
as we kept a tight control over costs.

experiences and other factors considered reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the
assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities

ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in
the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects
only that period or in the period of the revision and future
periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.

preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial information

financial statements.
