FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

29 November 2019


1H FY20 performance ahead of guidance.

1H FY20 financial statements.


ikeGPS (IKE) today released its unaudited financial statements relating to performance for the

six-month period to 30 September 2019 (all figures NZD). Key metrics delivered are ahead of

prior market guidance:

+ Record revenue of approximately $5.25m. Above guidance of $5m.

+ EBITDA breakeven Q2 FY19.

+ Total cash and receivables at 30 September 2019 of $4.9m. Above guidance and

approximately equal to 31 March 2019.

○ Noting that total cash & receivables were approximately $7.9m at 31 October 2019.

+ Success and growth of IKE Analyze has resulted in improvement in the quality, predictability,

and sustainability of earnings with approximately 62% of revenue from IKE Analyze

transactions or recurring software subscriptions.

+ Record gross margin of approximately $3.8m and with gross margin percentage of 72%

(increased against PCP of 65% and above guidance for 70%).

+ Continued progress with the targeted customer base, now with ten of the largest 15

Communication and Cable companies in North America in deployments or pilots (increased

from eight in the September 2019 update).

+ The emergence of a substantial new market opportunity for IKE Analyze around 5G mobile

network developments, with important lead customers contracted.

+ Market timing, forward contracts, and ongoing transactional revenue provides confidence in

outlook in 2H FY20 and beyond.


The charts below further set out momentum;



Takeaways;

+ IKE’s revenue mix has shifted materially the past 12

months.

+ Greater than 70% of revenue is expected from

transaction & recurring sources in FY20 (blue bar).

Analyze, which delivers a lower upfront revenue

component but a higher long term revenue profile per

customer.

IKE CEO Glenn Milnes commented;

+ “1H FY20 has been our strongest period yet with the continued growth of revenue and

gross margin from our core Communications and Utility segment.

+ We delivered EBITDA breakeven performance in Q2 FY20, noting that both the months

of May and June were also EBITDA positive.

+ We are pleased that greater than 70% of FY20 revenue is now expected to be

generated from IKE Analyze transactions - a “transaction” represents the analysis &

processing of an asset within the IKE cloud pole platform - or recurring software

subscriptions. This is a positive development in terms of revenue quality and has

resulted from the extension of our market offering with IKE Analyze.

+ Ten (updated from eight in September) of the 15 largest communications and cable

companies in the U.S. market are IKE customers or are in pilots. We are focusing on

revenue expansion opportunities within these accounts and developing new pipeline

sales opportunities.

+ An additional market opportunity for IKE Analyze was validated in the period, specific

to 5G mobile network development and we are contracted into one of the largest

businesses building 5G infrastructure across the U.S. The 5G market opportunity in

the U.S. is large and is expected to grow over the coming five or so years. This is an

additive market to the large fiber market opportunity where IKE Analyze has

established a clear value proposition and customer proof points.

+ More generally, we are winning customers and driving transactions across the IKE

platform because our solution enables networks to be deployed faster, more cost-

effectively, and with a higher quality data standard.

+ Subsequent events in October and November 2019 included closing the acquisition of

certain assets of PowerLine Technology Inc (one of the leading structural analysis

software companies in North America), the successful close of an oversubscribed

capital raise of $6.5m, and the appointment of Mark Ratcliffe (former CEO of Chorus

and Chief Operating Officer Wholesale & Technology of Telecom New Zealand) as a

new independent non-executive director.“

Notes to the consolidated interim financial

statements

1. Reporting Entity

ikeGPS Group Limited (the “Company”) is a limited liability company domiciled and incorporated

in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock

Exchange (“NZX”) and Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). The Company is an FMC reporting

entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The interim financial

statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019 comprise the Company and its

subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) which include ikeGPS Limited and ikeGPS Inc.

The principal activity of the Group is that of design, marketing and sale of integrated GPS data

capture devices, related software and consulting solutions.

The interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 29 November 2019.

2. Basis of preparation

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial

statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years

presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of measurement

These unaudited interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019 have

been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ

GAAP”) and NZ IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These unaudited interim financial statements

also comply with IAS 34 interim financial reporting.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis with the exception of

certain financial instruments which are measured in accordance with the specific relevant

accounting policy.

These unaudited interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally

included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with

the audited financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2019, which

have been prepared in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). All significant accounting policies have been applied on a basis

consistent with those used in the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31

March 2019 other than as disclosed in Note 3 below.

Critical estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and

assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of

assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.


11

Notes to the consolidated interim financial

statements

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting

estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods

affected.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, 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 for the

year ended 31 March 2019, other than critical estimates and judgement related to the new

standards adopted by the group as disclosed in note 3 below.

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared based on the Group being a going concern, which

assumes the Group has the ability and intention to continue operations for a period of at least 12

months from the date of the financial statements. During the Group’s current growth phase,

investment continues into increasing revenue by developing and expanding the Group’s product

and service offerings. The Group has continued to reduce, but still incur, net cash outflows from

operating and investing activities during this phase. During fiscal year 2020 (FY20), the Group had

cash outflows of $818,000 (2018: $2,384,000) relating to operations, and $512,000 (2018:

$933,000) relating to capitalised internal development for the six months ended 30 September

2019. The cash balance at 30 September 2019 was $2,229,000 (2018: $5,354,000). While making

material improvement on prior years cash outflows, if the current level of cash outflows continued

the Group would not be able to fund its operations without the need to raise additional capital or

alternative funding.

The approved business plan for FY20 includes the prudent management of costs while focusing

effort on investing in the significant sales opportunities for the entity’s products and services.

The plan takes into consideration:

• forecast sales increases of its IKE Solution, focused on sales into the utilities and

telecommunications companies within the United States that are deploying fiber

• continued subscription revenue associated with the IKE Solution

• transaction revenue from the new IKE Analyze solution

• continued prudent operational cost management

• continued focus on optimizing working capital

• the ability of the Group to manage its growth activities and associated costs.


12

Notes to the consolidated interim financial

statements

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

On September 27, 2019 the Group announced it was raising equity of up to $6.5m through a $5.0m

placement and $1.5m retail offer. As documented in the subsequent events in note 9, the equity

raising was successful and settlement of the placement and retail offer was on October 2 and

October 23, 2019 respectively. The equity raised is to support both the acquisition of certain assets

in Powerline Technologies Inc and the continued growth objectives.

Although the Company is not currently engaged in pursuing raising capital in addition to the equity

raising announced on 27 September 2019, the dual listing on the NZX and ASX provides the

Company with the potential option to pursue capital raise opportunities from a wider market in

order to among other things; expand existing business, additional working capital, and acquire or

establish new businesses. The Directors believe that additional capital could be raised should

circumstances necessitate.

On this basis, the directors believe that with the improved operating loss for the 6 months to 30

September 2019 and subsequent equity raising post balance date, the Group has sufficient funding

to continue operations for the next 12 months from the date of authorising the financial statements,

and hence consider the use of the going concern basis appropriate. The Group’s ability to improve

its financial capacity and cash flow generated from its operations cannot be assured.

These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments in the carrying values of the

assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications

used, that would be necessary if the Group were unable to realise its assets and settle its liabilities

in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

Apart from the changes noted below, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial

statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation

as, and should be read in conjunction with, the financial statements and related notes included in

the Group’s annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2019.

3. New and amended standards adopted by the Group

NZ IFRS 16 Leases

Under NZ IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the

use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Under NZ IAS 17, a

lessee was required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on the balance sheet) and an

operating lease (off balance sheet).


NZ IFRS 16 now requires a lessee to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments

and a ‘right-to-use asset’ for most lease contracts.


13

Notes to the consolidated interim financial

statements

3. New and amended standards adopted by the Group

(continued)

Impact of adoption

The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 from 1 April 2019 using the simplified transition approach.

Under this approach the cumulative effect of initially applying NZ IFRS 16 is recognised as an

adjustment to retained earnings as at 1 April 2019. Comparative figures are not restated but

instead continue to reflect the accounting policies under NZ IAS 17 leases.

On adoption of NZ IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had

previously been classified as operating leases. The liabilities are measured at the present value of

the remaining lease payments, discounted using the ‘incremental borrowing rate’ as of 1 April

2019. The Groups incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 April 2019 was

5.50%.

Judgements and practical expedients used


On transition the company used the practical expedient provided by the new standard to treat any

lease with a term less than 12 months from initial application as a short-term lease and therefore

recognise the lease payments on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.


The Group has also applied the practical expedient allowing low value lease to be recognised on a

straight-line basis over the term of the lease.


Additionally, management has determined not to include the extension option as part of the lease

liability and right to use asset as they cannot be reasonably certain that the Group will exercise the

option to extend the lease.


Lease Liabilities


The maturity of the lease liabilities is as follows:

4. Operating segments

The CEO and senior management team are the Group’s operating decision makers. During the six

months ended 30 September 2019, the Group’s selling activities were focused and organised into

two customer segments namely Utility & Communications and New Business. The Utility &

Communications segment includes sales to companies involved in the broadband fiber roll out in

the United States. New Business includes Signage, Architecture Engineering and Construction

(AEC) and Geospatial.

Within the Utilities & Communications segment the Group sold and leased the IKE4 device and

corresponding annual subscription revenue. The Group also offered an end to end technical

solution to customers performing make ready engineering (MRE) projects. Revenue related to this

solution is reported on separately to management.

The segment reporting format reflects the Group’s management and internal reporting structure.

Contribution is after allocating cost of goods sold. Reporting of overheads and balance sheet

position is not undertaken at a level lower than the Group as a whole. Geographically, revenue is

substantially generated in the United States.

On 21 October 2019, the Group acquired certain assets of PowerLine Technology Inc. (“PLT”) for

US$3.4m (NZ$5.4m) (“Acquisition”).

The Acquisition price of US$3.4m includes an US$0.9m earn out component and will be paid as

70% cash and 30% scrip across all components. The initial cash consideration was paid on 21

October 2019 of US$1.75m (NZD $2.7m cash). The remaining initial consideration of US$0.75m

of IKE shares issued at NZD$0.60 per share will be issued in equal tranches over a three year

period. The earn out will be paid annually over a three year period subject to the founder remaining

employed at IKE, and IKE shares issued under the earn out will also be issued at NZD$0.60 per

On the 27
