PRESS RELEASE
FY 2023 PRELIMINARY RESULTS
EXCL. "L5 BUSINESS": REVENUES €215-220M, ADJ. EBITDA €13-15M; NFP €103M '24-'26 STRATEGIC PLAN TO BE PRESENTED BY BEGINNING OF MAY 2024
Travagliato (Brescia), 23 February 2024 – The Board of Directors of Antares Vision S.p.A. (EXM, AV:IM), met today to discuss the unaudited preliminary consolidated results as at 31 December 2023, drawn up in compliance with international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS). As already announced on 30 January 2023, the approval date of the draft annual and consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023 has been set for 7 May 2024, to take into account the time needed to renegotiate medium-long term loan agreements with the relative financial institutions and to finalise the internal and external audits (the latter with the assistance of external consultants) currently in progress on the business of the subsidiary rfxcel Corp. relating to the supply of Government Hubs ("L5 Business"). Note, therefore, that the results illustrated below have not been audited yet, this means that some amendments may be made at the time of approval of the draft annual and consolidated financial statements.
The Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Management Team and also considering that the above-mentioned audits are still in progress, decided to adopt a prudential approach for the L5 Business, applying the same criteria used for the 2024 budget. Consequently, from an operational perspective, in FY 2023, the revenues relating to L5 Business only include those that have actually been collected by the group, or that have a high probability of collection.
Therefore, in FY 2023, consolidated revenues amount between €215-220 million. Adjusted EBITDA1 should be between €13 and €15 million. The Net Financial Position (NFP) as at 31 December 2023, net of the effect resulting from the measurement at market value of the warrants (which will never correspond to an actual cash outlay) was approximately €103 million (including liquidity of around €62 million) compared to €65.4 million (including liquidity of €83.8) as at 31 December 2022.
With regard to the process of renegotiating the medium-long term loan agreements, discussions with the lending institutions have started, and will continue in more depth over the coming weeks. Note that, in accordance with the terms of the agreements, any failure to respect the covenants will be ascertained after the approval of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023.
Note that, by the date of publication of the final consolidated results for FY 2023, the Group will present the new 2024-2026 strategic plan.
1 Adjusted EBITDA, calculated excluding non-recurring costs equal.
