I am very proud to be the Chair of Rakon Limited. Rakon is a globally recognised leader in the

frequency control product industry providing timing and synchronisation solutions for

equipment in the Telecommunications, Positioning, Space and Defence sectors.

In today’s world where technological changes are occurring at an ever increasing rate this is

an exciting but challenging industry to be part of.

Financial Snapshot FY2021

In the financial year ended March 2021, we built on the improvements recorded in the

three previous financial years. We delivered revenue growth and increased Net Profit and

Underlying EBITDA

1

predominantly from growth in the Telecommunications sector. The

steady improvement in Underlying EBITDA

1

has continued over the last five years, as shown

in the presentation slide. In April 2021 your Board indicated further improvement with

forecast Underlying EBITDA

1

in the range of $27 million to $32 million for FY2022. I can

advise today that we are currently tracking to the top end of this guidance range, but that

could be impacted by significant global shortages and increased lead times for inventory as

well as the continuing uncertainty arising from the Covid-19 pandemic affecting our

operations and those of our suppliers and customers.

Shareholder Value

Looking back at FY2021, we are pleased with the way the Rakon team tackled the challenges

and opportunities during the year and grew the business. We were also pleased to see the

improved performance and growth reflected in a significant increase in Rakon’s share price.

We kept our people safe and demonstrated the resilience of our people in maintaining

operations through the disruption presented by Covid-19. While in New Zealand, our

manufacturing plant has been able to operate as normal, except during the local Level 4

lockdown, our factories in France and India had to manage much greater disruption and

restrictions as the pandemic continued and resurged in those countries.

There is no question that the business suffered significantly in the first few months of the

year due to Covid. We qualified for the wage subsidy and it proved critical in assisting the

business to get through those first few months intact.

Ultimately, however, new opportunities also flowed from the pandemic. These were

captured by the company, demonstrating Rakon’s understanding of its industry and

markets, its agility and its ability to scale-up its operations.

In the latter part of the first half of 2021, we saw increased demand from our

Telecommunication customers. Initially this was thought to be the purchase of security

Refer to Note 5 of the FY2021 audited consolidated financial statements for an explanation of how ‘Non-

GAAP Financial Information’ is used, including a definition of ‘Underlying EBITDA’ and reconciliation to NPAT




Page 4 of 7 w w w . r a k o n . c o m


stock to hedge against Covid disruption, however this demand continued through the year

resulting in the 18% increase in the Telecommunications revenue reported.

In the second half, Rakon was able to respond to the world-wide TCXO shortage. Through a

combination of Rakon’s own proprietary chip, engineering expertise to adopt an alternative

chip, good inventory levels, industry connections and partnerships and ability to expand its

operations by building its own equipment, Rakon was able to meet both the early demand

generated by the TCXO shortage and then to scale up and commit to longer term orders. For

example, Rakon New Zealand’s production capability is now 40% higher than it was in

FY2021. Significant long term orders secured late in FY2021 are reflected in our forecast for

FY2022.

Strategy

Over the course of FY2021 your board and management undertook a strategy review. There

was a strong focus on determining the long and short term objectives, tasks and

deliverables to ensure Rakon could respond appropriately to future challenges. These are

monitored and progress is reported to the Board on a monthly basis.

Rakon continues to service four principal market segments: Telecommunications,

Positioning, Space and Defence and is a preferred supplier of most Tier One and Two

customers and other strategic customers in these markets.

Rakon’s particular strength is its industry leading Research & Development resulting in

products which meet the most challenging specifications and which are difficult to replicate.

Rakon works alongside its customers to develop solutions and enable them to advance their

applications and technology.

Rakon maintains its strong focus on Research & Development including further advancing its

nano-quartz XMEMS technology to support the development of next generation products

and to compete with silicon-based MEMS technology. Design-in wins using this advanced

technology, which significantly enhances performance, have already been achieved.

Our global operations are efficient and highly scalable. With access to low cost

manufacturing through our operations in India and our partners such as Siward and through

the Research & Development global centres of excellence, we are able extend the life of our

existing product lines and explore and develop new applications and technology.

We have highlighted these areas as strategic priorities and we are pleased to be making

good progress.

Some of the key strategic achievements the Board has endorsed over the last year and

which have been supported through securing new funding lines include:

 The approval of business case for further investment in XMEMS




Page 5 of 7 w w w . r a k o n . c o m


 The approval of investment in new, modern and fit for purpose premises in India

which also provide a platform for expansion of Rakon’s current operations.

 Support of initiatives to enhance global capabilities.

Governance

The Board was busy in FY2021 supporting management in its response to the risks and

disruption arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. There were 16 Board meetings to provide

support to management and regular oversight of the business. Throughout the year, the

Board sought to take all practicable measures for the health and safety of its employees and

to maintain manufacturing, research and development and engagement with customers

across Rakon’s global operations. The resilience of the global team has been exceptional,

not only in responding to the challenges of operating in pandemic but also in responding to

the new opportunities that emerged during the course of the year.

We are committed to continuous improvement in our governance practices and seek to

ensure there is a sound framework for governance and risk management to support this

commitment. In our Corporate Governance Statement in the 2021 Annual Report, we

provide a detailed account of our compliance with the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX)

Corporate Governance Code. Key governance charters, policies and guidance are available

on our website.

At our last Annual Meeting in 2020, your Board undertook to review our Investor

Communications strategy. This is an ongoing exercise but we trust you have appreciated our

new website and greater options for receipt of investor news. Management has seized

opportunities to celebrate achievements, such as Mars Rover having Rakon parts on board.

We have also sought to understand Rakon investor perception and we have engaged

external expertise to assist with the refresh of our reports and presentations.

To secure longer term credit facilities to support investment in inventory and equipment for

increased demand, future proofing of existing operations and expansion opportunities,

Rakon entered into a flexible five-year agreement with a new debt provider, Tanarra Credit

Partners, while retaining ASB as its trading banker.

The improved NPAT and cash flow have inevitably prompted discussion of a dividend for

shareholders. Your Board believes Rakon should continue to maintain a conservative

balance sheet and consolidate its improving financial position as we manage ongoing supply

chain and Covid-19 related uncertainties and risks.

The Board appreciates the loyalty of its shareholders who have continued their investment

and recently joined the Rakon register and assures shareholders that if the forecast results

for FY2022 are achieved, and there is no significant capital requirement on the horizon, we

will pay a dividend in respect of the 2022 year.

I note that in the current year, to maintain the growth trajectory we are on, we have several

projects that will require approximately $20 million of expenditure over and above our




Page 6 of 7 w w w . r a k o n . c o m


normal levels. These include our new India factory, XMEMS and NewSpace development.

Brent will go into more detail on these in his presentation.

The Board is aware some shareholders have promoted the concept of a share buyback and

Directors appreciate this is another tool that can be used to reward shareholders. Again, we

reiterate that for the time being Directors believe it is prudent to maintain a conservative

balance sheet and our current preference for rewarding shareholders would be by way of

dividend.

The Board was pleased to see the Rakon share price improve in the last quarter of FY2021 as

the market began to recognise Rakon’s steady improvement in performance, its ability to

quickly capture opportunity and its inherent potential.

Your Board and management have worked very hard to regain investor trust after our failed

foray in to China to compete in the smart phone GPS market. After five years of hard work,

we have now reached the position where we believe we have a long term sustainable base,

underpinning our future profitability. We look forward to investor confidence in Rakon

continuing to grow.

Later in the meeting, you will be invited to vote on two resolutions in relation to the Board.

The first relates to my re-election as a director of Rakon while the second relates to an

increase in the level of directors’ fees.

As you are aware, I have been on the Board of Rakon for 16 years and some people believe

that may be too long. My particular focus since I assumed the position of Chair three years

ago has been to see the company return to a positive performance trajectory. As

demonstrated in our FY2021 results, which again showed an improvement on the previous

year, and our forecast for FY2022, it does appear we are achieving that goal. I believe the

company is in a good position to sustain this positive performance. My focus now is on

ensuring a steady and careful transition of my tenure as a director and Chair and a

consequent review and refresh of the skills and experience required at the Board table to

guide the company through its next phase. It is not my expectation that this transition

process should take a full term of three years and I will formally announce my retirement

when the Board is satisfied we have completed our succession planning.

The other resolution proposing an increase in directors’ fees also aligns with the succession

planning of the Board. The Board believes fair and competitive fees are essential in

attracting and retaining directors who have the skills and experience necessary to govern

the company. It was timely after 15 years to determine whether Rakon directors’ fees were

consistent with those being offered by listed companies with a similar scope of

responsibilities and of a similar size and performance. As a result of that review we have

presented a proposal to increase Rakon directors’ fees at today’s meeting.

On behalf of the Board I would like to thank the Rakon Executive and employees here in

Auckland, in India, France and the UK and in our sales offices around the world for the




Page 7 of 7 w w w . r a k o n . c o m


excellent results achieved in FY2021 and expected in FY2022; your loyalty, commitment and

hard work for Rakon is appreciated. A special thank you to all our global teams for whom

the daily impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on their lives continues more directly than for

those of us based in New Zealand.

Also, thank you to our technology partners Siward whose representatives unfortunately

cannot be with us here today but who continue to work closely with the Rakon team. While

Siward have recently reduced their holding in Rakon, Siward remain a substantial

shareholder and have confirmed their commitment as a long term investor and technology

partner.

And, thank you, to you our shareholders, for your continued support. I assure you the Board

is very focused on acting in the best interest of the company and improving shareholder

value and return.

I now invite Brent Robinson to provide further commentary on the company’s performance

and a business update and later after a time for questions I will address the formal

resolutions of the meeting.

This presentation contains not only a review of operations, but also some forward looking statements

about Rakon Limited and the environment in which the company operates. Because these statements are

forward looking, Rakon Limited's actual results could differ materially

Although management and directors may indicate and believe that the assumptions underlying the

forward looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate or incorrect

and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in the forward looking
