Operational Overview
· H1 2021 results:
o 23% growth in revenues
o Return to profitability
o Gross margins improved due to higher proportion of software revenues
o Underlying overheads benefitting from previous years' actions
o Reduced cash generation from operations despite significant reduction in losses, as PAYE & VAT time to pay arrangements were met
· Continuation of new contract wins:
o New telematics contract awards with a wide range of smaller Fleet and Insurance customers
o Approximately 255,000 connections (March 2021: 254,000 connections), an increase of 1,000 connections, (0.4%) in the six month period since last year end.
· Continuation of contract renewals:
o Strong period of contract renewals in the Fleet business.
· H2 and FY2023 outlook:
o Insurance telematics policy sales plateau due to high backlog of driving tests and cost of second hand cars only modestly improving due to new insurance clients' launches
o Several new Insurance customers launching during H2 but mainly impact FY2023 and beyond
o Backlog of driving tests expected to diminish in FY2023, improving demand
o Strong level of orders, post period, from existing and new Fleet customers
Outlook
Despite additional costs associated with mitigating supply chain challenges and expected significant component price increases, the Board remains confident that for the full year ending 31st March 2022, the Group will be slightly ahead of current market expectations on all profit measures. It is expected that this will be achieved on lower than previously expected revenues of circa £18m due to softening of the telematics insurance market.

Executive Chairman's Statement
Results
I am pleased to report Trakm8's results for the six months ended 30 September 2021.
The first half of the financial year was a significant improvement on the previous year and ahead of recent Company guidance. Revenues for the six months ending 30 September 2021 increased by 23% over the corresponding period of the previous year to £9.02m.
There was an increase of £1.29m (29%) in Fleet and Optimisation revenues to £5.7m and an increase in Insurance and Automotive revenues of £0.41m (14%) to £3.31m.
The Group is reporting a significant improvement in trading with a return to profitability with Group adjusted profit of £0.44m (2020: loss £0.31m), Profit before Tax of £0.05m (2020: Loss £0.85) and Profit after Tax of £0.27m (2020: loss £0.73m).
During the period, connections increased by 0.5% to 255,000 (31.3.2021: 254,000). Fleet connections were static at 70,000 (31.3.21: 70,000), Insurance & Automotive connections increased 0.7% to 185,000 (31.3.21: 184,000).
In the last few months of the period we saw a recovery in the fleet numbers but there has been little recovery in the insurance market as difficulties with new drivers taking tests and the increased cost of second hand cars.
The Recurring Revenues in the period increased over the previous year by 4% to £4.81m and represent 53% of Group revenues. In addition, the Group generated £0.98m of software revenues (H1 2020: £0.30m), which represent 11% of Group revenues.
The Group has incurred £0.13m in additional costs to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on the electronic component supply chain but has maintained supplies to customers without significant interruptions. In the last few months we have seen significant price increases in certain components and we expect this to continue for the balance of the year. We have worked hard to avoid disruption of our supply chain but there remains an ever present risk.
Gross profit margin has improved to 65% (2020: 62%). This is despite the higher hardware revenues as a percentage of sales and the impact of Covid-19. The improvement in margin is due to higher software sales during the period.
Total overhead costs, excluding exceptional costs, increased by £0.47m to £5.27m (H1 2020: £4.80m). This is the result of £0.16m increase in depreciation & amortisation, a £0.15m increase in marketing spend and reduced furlough support of £0.38m. Underlying payroll costs further reduced overall by £0.16m. Exceptional costs reduced significantly during the period to £0.30m, and included furloughed employees costs of £0.20m net of £0.18m Government payments and £0.11m of other costs. Share based payments remained consistent compared to the previous year at £0.91m (H1 2020: £0.89m)
Financial position
Cash generation from operations has been £0.87m (H1 FY-2020: £2.06m) and at 30 September 2021 the Group net debt excluding the impact of the IFRS16 lease liability was £6.16m (£7.88m including IFRS 16 liability) which is £1.27m higher than as at 31 March 2021. The HMRC time to pay liability reduced by £0.94m. H1 FY21 benefitted from agreeing with the Revenue authorities to delay payments of £0.7m into FY22 and FY23. At the 30 September 2021 the Group had £0.89m of cash on hand and a further £0.50m of available funds under an overdraft facility.
The overall cash outflow for the period was £1.48m (H1 2020: outflow of £0.12m).
Strategy
The Group has been following the strategy outlined in the 2021 Annual Report. Our focus is to provide ever more meaningful insights to our customers using the data generated by our installed devices and other connections so that they can run their operations more efficiently and safely.
Our primary strategy going forward is the growth of our business through more connections, increased device sales and higher service fees. Due to the high level of new contract wins across the business and reduced rates of attrition in Fleet, the number of connections have increased overall by 0.8% in the past 12 months and by 0.4% in past 6 months. The number of devices sold has increased by 30% to 64,000 (H1 2020: 49,000).
Trakm8 has focused on delivering market leading technology and ensuring that the solutions are generating the best possible ROI's for our customers. We have maintained the levels of expenditure in R&D. We will continue to own the majority of IP in our value chain. We have focused on building out greater functionality of existing solutions rather than a wider range. We have focused on using AI to maximise value in our algorithms in risk, crash and video analysis. We have obtained very exciting results from this and are receiving positive interest from customers as a result.
Our third strategy has been to improve the efficiencies of our business in every possible way. We have been successful in maintaining similar operating overheads level like for like before the impact of the furlough support, despite salary inflation and higher marketing costs. We will continue to seek efficiencies as we go forward.
Director Resignation
Peter Mansfield, Trakm8 Group Sales and Marketing Director, has resigned from the Board of Directors with immediate effect. Paul Wilson who had previously been Group Sales and Marketing Director will be assuming responsibilities for Fleet Sales and Marketing.
