Market Announcement
For Immediate Release
2018interimfinancialstatementsand fundingupdate
Wellington Drive Technologies (WDT), a leading provider of Internet of Things (“IoT”) solutions and energy
efficient motors to the retail food and beverage industry,todayreleased itsunauditedfinancial statements for the
six months ended 30 June 2018.The financial statements are consistent with the market announcement dated15
August 2018.
Funding Update
The company hasreceived an offerfora $2.5 million loan, repayable in September 2019, which it is in the process
of documenting.Meta Capital hasalsooffered to extend the repayment date of its loaninto 2019. With these
new facilities in place the company is well positionedtorepay existing debtdueMarch2019,managechangesin
customer payment termsandlocally-heldcustomerinventory,andtocommenceinvestmentinnewIoT projects.
Highlights for the first half 2018 include:
Significant revenue growth
New Zealand dollar revenue for the first half was $28.0million, an 18% increase compared to the same period
last year.This compared to previous guidance of around 10%.Revenue in the second quarter was $16.3 million,
compared to $11.1 million for the same quarter in 2017, a 47% increase.Second quarter revenue was the largest
single quarter revenue in the company’s history.
Wellington’s US$ revenue for the Americas region grew by 28% due to strong sales of ECR2 motors andthe SCS
Connect IoT platform.Asia-Pacific revenue was flat year-on-year asregionalcustomers moved more slowly than
expected towards IoT adoption and brands reduced their cooler placements.EMEA region US$ revenue was
down 12%, driven by lower volumes from bottle cooler customers in markets impacted by macro-economic
difficulties, such as Turkey and Southern Europe.The Company also decided nottocompete where bottle-cooler
motor price pressure became excessive.EMEA did, however, see significant growth in its supermarket display
customer base as ECR2 motor US$ revenues increased by 83% over the comparable period in 2017.
Revenue growth continues to be driven by IoT and ECR2 motor product sales.In first quarter 2018,motors
represented 66% of the company’s US$ revenue while IoT solutions were 29%.In second quarter,motors were
64% of the company’s total US$ revenue while IoT solutions were 32%.
Wellington is continuing to diversify beyond its historic reliance on the bottle cooler EC motor market. SCS
Connect hardware sales were 45% higher than for the comparable period in 2017. SCS Data revenues continued
to grow with US$0.7 million invoiced in the half, an 88% increase versus 2017.The ECR2 motor unit sales were
46% higher and they now surpass ECR01 motor volumes, which while lower than ECR2, did increase by 12%.
Sales to the company’s two largest supermarket and food service refrigeration customers continued to grow-they
togethercontributed 31% of total ECR2 motor sales.
Gross margin
Gross Margin at 25% was consistent with the 25% recorded in first half 2017.The company came under price
pressure in its EC motor business towards the end of 2017 and generally responded to remaincompetitive.
Additional one-time costs of $0.2million, a 0.9% impact on gross margin, were incurred to successfully manage

the global electronic component shortage situation. These incremental spot buying costs ensured alternate
components were secured and that all customer demand in the period was met.Component shortages are easing
somewhat but are expected to continue well into 2019.
Operating Costs
Operating costs for the period amounted to $5.9 million, or 21% ofrevenue, compared to $5.1m and 21% of
revenue last year.Operating spending increased as the company continued to invest in the skills and infrastructure
required to support a broadening product range and diversifying customer base.This has required additional
personnel in areas such as customer management, marketing and software development.Profitability wasalso
affected by capitalisation ofdevelopment time reducing by $0.4 million as some development engineers were
redeployed to modifying existingproducts to resolve component shortage issues rather than development of future
products.
Profit Improvement
EBITDA
1
for the first half improved to $1.1 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2017. This
result was in line with previousEBITDA
1
guidance of around $1 million.EBIT improved to $0.3 million
compared to $0.2 million in 2017. The company made a net loss of $0.2 million for the half, an improvement on
the $0.5 million loss for the same period last year.The improvement in netloss is higher than the relative
EBITDA
1
improvement due to the cessation of preference share interest costs in May 2017.
Working Capital
The company generated cash in the first half.Cash at 30 June 2018 was $2.6 million compared to $1.6 million at
31December 2017.Net debt at 30 June was $0.6 million versus net debt of $1.0 million at December 2017.
Operating cash flows for the six months amounted to $1.8 million,up from$0.3 million for the corresponding
period in 2017. Netoperating and investing cash flowsamountedto $0.5millionfor the six months, a $1.4 million
improvement.
Inventory management continued to be a highlight with 7.6 inventory turns achieved in the six months, compared
to 4.6 turns for the same period last year.However, several customers have recently mandated higher levels of
locally held inventory to support shorter lead-times and increased product mix, which will increase Wellington’s
stock levels during the second half of the year.In the second quarter, one of the company’slargercustomers
decided to extend payment terms for all its suppliers, as a result of beverage brands extending their terms.This
extended payment cycle is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
The US$0.6m loan from Meta Capital Limitedwas repaid on 31 May 2018. A new loan for US$0.6m from Meta
Capital was advanced on 29 June 2018 to partially fund the iProximity acquisition settlement and support extended
terms with selected customers.
Acquisition of iProximity
The acquisition of iProximity, an Australian-based digital marketing company, was completed on 2 July 2018.
Several field trials are underway usingiProximity’s solutions, including working with large global food brands to
deliver proximity based information to retailers and shoppers.Wellington’s SCS Connect is being integrated with
the iProximity digital marketing toolset to manage fleets of beacons installed in customer coolers, deliver asset
management tools to food and beverage brands and supermarkets and deliver product promotionsto consumers.
Customer wins
The company added its first dairy products customer to the portfolio, withdeliveries of theSCS Connect IoT
platform startingin the first quarter.This customer is expected to have reached US$1 million of revenue by early
2019 and is an indicator of how Wellington’s IoT solutions are being used beyond carbonated soft drink brands.
The dairy sector is an important target market for the company’s IoT platform.This platformwill help improve
management of in-store dairy coolers and also facilitate improved management of food quality and loss for the
industry.
2018 guidance
As noted in WDT’s announcement of 15 August,revenuefor the second half of 2018 is expected to be consistent
with the first half, with EBITDA

around $1 millionand full yearguidance of EBITDA

statementsof the groupfor the year ended 31 December 2017.
Application ofNZIFRS 15Revenue from Contracts from Customers–Application of NZIFRS 15 which became
effective on 1 January 2018 resulted in a contract with an overseas distributor being treated as an agency
service contract instead of a principal goods purchase and sale contract. This resulted in a reduction in revenue
and cost of sales for the six months ended 30 June 2018 with an adjustment to accumulated lossesbrought
forward for the impact on prior periods.
Application of NZIFRS 9 Financial Instruments–Application of NZIFRS 9 which became effective on 1 January
2018 had no impact on these financial statements.
(a)Going concern convention
The group reported a loss after tax of $181,000 (2017: $522,000) and cash flows inflows from operating activities of
$1,794,000 (2017: $311,000) for the six months ended 30 June 2018. As at 30 June 2018,thegroup had cash of

7.
The company hassince balance datereceived an offer offundingwhichwill enable the repayment of the Smartshares
Limited loan on due date.The offer is for a$2.5 millionloan repayable in September 2019.Meta Capital hasalso
offered to extendthe repayment date of its loaninto 2019.It is the considered view of the Directors that the Group
will have access to adequate resources to meet its ongoing obligations for at least a period of 12 months from the
date of signing these consolidated financial statements.
On this basis, the Directors have assessed it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial

(b)Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).The company’s functional
currency is US Dollarsbecause its purchase and sale of product is mainly denominated in US Dollars.
The consolidatedinterimfinancial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, rounded to the nearest

2.5Earnings per share
Earnings per share (‘EPS’) is the amount of post-tax profit attributable to each share.
Basic EPS of aloss of0.07cents (June 2017–loss of 0.20cents) is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to
equity holders ofthe companyof $181,000 (June 2017-$522,000) by the weighted average number of ordinary
shareson issue during the yearof257,041,576(June 2017–256,939,967).
DilutedEPS of a loss of0.07cents*(June 2017-loss of 0.20cents) reflects anycommitments the group has to issue
shares in future that would decrease EPS.The weighted average number of ordinary shares is compared with the
number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of share options.
As at 30 June, the following instruments existed that are, or were, potentially dilutive of future earnings per share, but
were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS for that year because the effect in that year would have been
antidilutive:
