EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
I am pleased to report on another excellent year for Trakm8 with
our results being ahead of expectations. Our strategy of increasing
the numbers of units reporting to our servers is proving very
successful. Strong growth in installed units and the consequent
service revenues has been at the core of significantly improved
financial results.
As part of the strategy to develop the Group organically, Trakm8
has successfully introduced a number of new products and software
solutions that have been well received by the market. These
products and solutions are distributed by our Trakm8 and BOX brands
into all market segments. The Group now has market leading Fleet
Management solutions and has introduced the latest in Insurance
risk, First Notification of Loss ("FNOL") and crash reconstruction
software. The Group has also established market leading automotive
vehicle diagnostic expertise for over-the-air vehicle condition
monitoring and service predictions.
The strength of the Trakm8 financial model is that it delivers
very strong cash generation. Our operating cash flow before
movement in working capital for the year was GBP2.60m (2014:
GBP0.80m), and the year-end cash balance was GBP3.4m.
Organic revenue growth at Trakm8 was 73% supplemented by a full
12 months of trading in BOX Telematics Ltd ("BOX").
The year saw significant investment by the Group in improving
many elements of the operations of the businesses. Most of the
internal activities were consolidated to minimise costs and
maximise effectiveness. A major IT infrastructure investment
improved our ERP, CRM and QA processes. A second new assembly line
for electronic PCB assembly was purchased in anticipation of the
higher levels of demand for our hardware devices.
Due to higher margins than anticipated when we issued our
trading statement in April 2015 we have reported a slightly higher
than expected pre tax profit of GBP1.7m and which compares to last
year's result of GBP0.40m.
Board Changes and Post Year End Events
Following the year end we decided to strengthen the Board in
line with the rapid growth of the Group. We were delighted to
welcome Bill Duffy to the Board as the second Independent
Non-Executive Director. Bill brings a wealth of experience and
expertise. We also decided Sean Morris Group Engineering Director
and Mark Watkins Group Operations Director should join the Board.
These appointments are expected to enhance our corporate governance
and ensure we have the management team to implement our growth
plans and integrate acquisitions successfully.
We also announced that we have recently completed the
acquisition of the trade and assets of DCS. This business trades
predominantly as RoadHawk(TM) supplying camera systems into the
vehicle market. The integration of camera technology into
telematics based fleet and insurance solutions represent real
opportunities for future growth.
Operational Review
Trakm8's core activity is the provision of integrated fleet
management and insurance telematics based services. Trakm8 also
undertakes bespoke development and integration of our data into the
customer's own Management Information systems. Customers include
Direct Line Insurance, the AA, Eon and Saint-Gobain Group.
BOX was purchased in October 2013 and the business has been
successfully integrated into the Trakm8 Group. Our Development,
Customer services, Technical support and Finance teams have been
combined for both companies and hardware and software platforms are
largely consolidated.
Following the integration of BOX the Group now accounts for all
its trading in the single integrated telematics technology segment.
We continue to report the revenues in a number of streams.
Revenues at Trakm8 increased by 73% to GBP9.3m and this was
supplemented by GBP8.6m of revenues from the full year contribution
from BOX. In addition BOX supplied GBP1.8m of telematics devices to
Trakm8. The Group gross margin percentage was 45.2% for the year
(2014: GBP57.2%). This drop was due to the inclusion of a full year
of BOX trading which has lower margin contract manufacturing
revenues. In addition we have reanalysed sim costs to be part of
our cost of sales. Adjusted Earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation, amortisation and share based payments ("Adjusted
EBITDA") increased to GBP2.6m (2014: GBP1.2m).
The success in both Fleet Management and Insurance solutions
during the period has increased the numbers of units reporting to
our servers to over 102,000. The recurring revenues amounted to an
annualised GBP7.45m. This represents an increase of 65% over the
previous year end. Significantly the March recurring revenue also
exceeded the Group underlying overheads in the month for the first
time in the Group's history.
We have broadened the customer base both in the UK and
internationally. Significant contract wins with SAGA in Norway,
Downton, Saint-Gobain and Marmalade were announced along with a
wide range of smaller orders.
Sales of hardware as discrete devices were 12% lower at Trakm8
but were supplemented with GBP6.1m from a full 12 months trading at
BOX. The largest revenue generator in this segment is the JCB Live
Link telematics device. Sales of T10 hardware extended the number
of clients buying telematics devices.
Improved manufacturing capacity and quality was introduced early
in the financial year enabling a higher output to be achieved. As a
result over 100,000 telematics devices were built during the
period.
Whilst the sales of hardware to third party integrators helps us
to ensure our manufactured cost of products are as low as can be
achieved, these revenues are at lower margins and have no on-going
recurring revenues.
During the year the Company significantly expanded its
engineering resources including a new leadership team. It has
delivered excellent product derivatives of the T10, Swift and
Insurance solutions.
A significant part of our engineering effort is directed towards
the use of the data we generate to create powerful algorithms for
the prediction of risk, vehicle service requirements including
battery status, and crash event identification (FNOL). We have
employed mathematicians to help us analyse our Big Data and we
anticipate substantial benefits as we seek to monetise the value
and analysis of this asset over the coming years. We believe that
Trakm8 is establishing a market leading position in this field.
This, along with the emphasis we place on automotive expertise,
gives us a unique capability when compared to our conventional
competitors.
We have found that skills and features developed for the
insurance sector once integrated into the fleet management
solutions have expanded the customer base as a result. We have also
expanded our sales team to support the company's growing customer
base. Particular focus has been given to build a senior corporate
sales team focussing on major clients.
It is pleasing to report that our start-up sales activity in
Prague is now self-funding and further expansion of the sales and
support team is planned to grow revenues in the region.
At the time of our Interim Statement we announced we had a
record number of opportunities in our sales pipeline and it was
pleasing to bring a number of these to a positive conclusion. Most
of these did not impact the results during the period
significantly, but are expected to benefit the new financial year.
We have continued to build the sales pipeline and remain confident
that many of these opportunities will also be secured over the next
12 months. We continue to have a large number of trials in
progress.
Trakm8 also undertakes bespoke software development for
customers. The customer specific application engineering has been a
major feature of the product development team as larger customers
have demanded their particular requirements. These in turn help to
improve our core products.
A number of projects this year were associated with several
customers in the UK, Europe and USA. The largest project was for
the Direct Line Group.
Outlook
The Board is confident that our investments in acquisitions,
operational efficiency improvements, engineering resources, new
products and additional sales resources together with the benefit
of new contract wins will positively impact the new financial year
and beyond. Overall the first three months of trading are ahead of
last year and we now expect to modestly exceed previous market
expectations for the year ending 31 March 2016.
The acquisition of the trade and assets of DCS brings an
associated product line, customer base and the established
RoadHawk(TM) camera brand to Trakm8. We expect to develop the
products, integrating them into our portfolio and to expand the
customer base through the existing sales channels. DCS is expected
to be an immediately earnings enhancing acquisition.
Although our primary strategy this year is to focus on
maintaining strong organic growth and to maximise the potential of
DCS, we continue to assess opportunities which augment growth
through further selective acquisitions. Any acquisition being
considered will need to meet our clearly defined market segment
objectives and financial criteria. To that end we have agreed a
GBP2m increase in our debt facility with HSBC bringing it to
GBP5.7m, of which GBP3.7m has been drawn.
Lastly, I would like to thank all the Trakm8 staff for their
exceptional commitment and hard work in order to accomplish the
significant progress made over the past twelve months.
John Watkins
EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Trakm8 Holdings PLC
STRATEGIC REPORT
The Directors present their Strategic Report on the Group for
the year ended 31 March 2015.
Business Review and Principal Activities
Trakm8 Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries ("the Group") design,
manufacture and sell fleet management and insurance solutions and
associated hardware components. These solutions are used in a wide
variety of applications from heavy duty commercial vehicles to
light CVs, cars, earth moving equipment and a number of niche
applications such a golf carts and industrial cleaning
machines.
The solutions provide data for customers to more effectively use
their vehicles by reducing journey times, reducing fuel consumption
and accidents, improving utilisation and serviceability, expense
tracking, and integration into customers ERP systems.
The data is also used to identify driver profiles for risk
prediction, trigger cash alerts, assist in crash reconstruction and
to predict vehicle service requirements.
The market for these solutions is growing as the cost of
providing them reduces and the benefit of the data is becoming more
valuable. Indeed the scale of the opportunity and the rate of
growth could be materially increased if the solutions' costs could
be further significantly reduced.
However, the competition is also growing and there remains
pricing pressure being mitigated by the increased functionality of
the solutions. The market remains largely fragmented although
consolidation is occurring, particularly driven by interest in the
space from venture capital companies.
Trakm8 and BOX have consolidated most of the operational and
finance functions. They share common engineering hardware and
software solutions, only maintaining separate sales and marketing
channels. As a result Trakm8 too has been playing a part in the
consolidation process underway in this market.
The results for the year show a 95% increase in our revenues to
GBP17.9m (2014: GBP9.2m) and an adjusted EBITDA of GBP2.60m (2014:
GBP1.24m). Strong organic growth and the supplemented BOX installed
base has grown the installed base of units reporting to our servers
with recurring revenues now accounting for 31% of our total
turnover.
Statement of Financial Position
The Group has a strong balance sheet as at 31 March 2015 with
net assets of GBP7.0m (2014: GBP5.1m). We continued our investment
in the business with GBP0.36m spent on new plant and IT assets
together with GBP0.86m on development costs enhancing our solutions
for calculating insurance risk, First Notification of Loss, crash
detection and vehicle diagnostic data.
Our cash balances at the year end were GBP3.4m (2014: GBP2.9m)
and total bank borrowings were GBP2.8m (2014: GBP2.3m). During the
year the Group repaid the outstanding Clydesdale loan of GBP2.0m
with a new facility from HSBC comprising a GBP3m term loan
repayable over 5 years plus a new 3 year GBP1m revolving credit
facility which had not been drawn as at 31 March 2015.
Strategy
The Group strategy remains to provide machine to machine ("M2M")
products and services that grow the installed base of connections
with service revenues, thus ensuring predictable revenues and cash
flows. We will continue to increase our focus on utilisation of the
accumulating server data to create the algorithms that will improve
the fuel economy scoring and the driver insurance risk
calculations, crash event identification and reconstruction. Trakm8
installed vehicles cover over two billion miles each year.
This data along with the statistical analysis now available with
latest computing techniques will continue to drive the next stages
of improved returns on investment in the technology. It will also
create opportunities in itself to drive both sales of data and
devices as part of the use of Big Data for marketing and promotion
planning by retailers.
Trakm8 will also utilise its extensive vehicle electrical
knowledge to drive vehicle service algorithms to reduce breakdowns,
improve serviceability and reduce cost of ownership. This too will
drive increased opportunities for telematics and data within the
automotive aftermarket and road side assistance sectors.
Trakm8 will provide hardware and software solutions on a
stand-alone basis to third parties so long as they are part of
Trakm8's core offerings.
The long term strategy is to expand from our UK centric base for
solutions and introduce the business model into new markets. The
market for our solutions is growing across the globe. Trakm8 can be
one of the providers to benefit from this and grow into a very
significant business. This strategy provides the shareholders with
the prospect of continued increase in shareholder value over the
medium and long terms.
Organic Growth
The Group will continue to drive organic growth through widening
the customer base, increasing the range of solutions offered and
broadening the geographic coverage. Trakm8 has built a strong and
profitable base in the UK and will consider expanding into new
territories.
With every size of vehicle type now addressed from the smallest
fleets to the largest, from passenger cars to heavy duty trucks and
industrial equipment, Trakm8 has a sales channel and product
suitable for all.
Trakm8 will continue to invest heavily in engineering new
products and solutions to ensure that these are market leading.
Acquisitions
After the year end the Group announced it had acquired on 16
June 2015 the business and assets of DCS Systems Ltd ("DCS") for a
cash consideration of GBP3.3 million. DCS specialises in the design
and distribution of camera systems for the motor vehicle, bicycle
and security markets. DCS's last unaudited accounts for its
financial year ending 30 April 2015 reported revenues of GBP2.8
million and profit before tax of GBP0.6 million. The acquisition
was funded from the Group's existing cash and bank facilities.
The Group will continue to seek acquisitions that complement our
organic growth strategies. These will be businesses in the M2M and
Big Data space, where we can drive value for the shareholders and
enhance the range of markets and services we address.
