Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Review of Operations

FY24 revenue of $35.7 million was $7.0m or 16% lower compared to revenue of $42.8m in the PCP. Revenue was lower in FY24 due to the ongoing deterioration in economic conditions, working capital constraints prior to the capital raising in May 2024 impacting finished goods availability, supply chain challenges and disruptions from the Writers Guild of America strike.

Pleasingly, revenue of 18.3m in H2 FY24 was 5.1% higher than revenue of $17.4m in H1 FY24. The improved H2 sales included only ~$0.5m of sales from the Ninja Phone and no new sales from SunDragon (compared to our forecast of $2.5m based on launch of both products in June), highlighting strong H2 FY24 sales in the core existing product line. Management is focused on delivering the new products to market and further educating the Group’s customer base on the benefits of these new products in being able to enhance their creative offering whilst speeding up the workflow process.

The Company experienced higher gross margins in FY24 attributed to improvements in the mix of margin across its product range, including higher margins from new products. Gross margin percentage improved by 20% points in FY24 from 11% in FY23 to 31% in FY24.

On an underlying basis, gross margin percentage improved by 14% points in FY24 from 20% in FY23 to 34% in FY24. Further underlying margin improvements were achieved in the second half of FY24 with gross margin percentage of 36% in H2 FY24 compared to 31% in H1 FY24.

Revenue

FY24 revenue of $35.7 million was $7.0m or 16% lower compared to revenue of $42.8m in the PCP. Revenue was lower in FY24 due to the ongoing deterioration in economic conditions, working capital constraints prior to the capital raising in May 2024 impacting finished goods availability, supply chain challenges and disruptions from the Writers Guild of America strike.

The decline in revenue was stymied, with H2 FY24 revenue of $18.3m being 5.1% higher than revenue of $17.4m in the H1 FY24; due to higher demand of the Group’s core existing product line, management’s focus on delivering new products to market and management further educating the Group’s customer base on the benefits of ATOMOS products in being able to enhance their creative offering whilst speeding up the workflow process.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

FY24 gross profit of $11.2m was $6.5m or 138% favourable to gross profit of $4.7m in FY23. FY23 gross profit was impacted by de-stocking and significant provisioning against finished goods inventory which was slow-moving and provisioning against excessive levels of component inventory which was a result of component stockpiling during the COVID induced period of semi-conductor component scarcity and the resultant expansion in lead times.

The Company experienced higher gross margins in FY24 attributed to improvements in the mix of margin across its product range, including higher margins from new products. Gross margin percentage

10

improved by 20% points in FY24 from 11% in FY23 to 31% in FY24. On an underlying basis, gross margin percentage improved by 14% points in FY24 from 20% in FY23 to 34% in FY24.

Further underlying margin improvements were achieved in the second half of FY24 with gross margin percentage of 36% in H2 FY24 compared to 31% in H1 FY24.

Operating Costs

Operating costs were $1.7m or 6% lower in FY24 compared to FY23 on a reported basis. Excluding nonrecurring costs, operating costs were $4.3m or 15% lower in FY24 compared to FY23. The Company is well progressed on its detailed cost restructure having already significantly reduced staff costs to under 70 permanent staff from 90 permanent staff in December 2023. The restructure is expected to be complete by the end of the first quarter in FY25, with the full financial benefit being realised from 2H25.

EBITDA

FY24 EBITDA loss of $17.3m was $8.2m or 32% favourable to EBITDA loss of $25.5m in FY23. The FY24 underlying EBITDA loss after adjusting for one-off/non-recurring items was $11.8m which was $7.6m or 39% favourable compared to FY23.

Finance Costs

Finance costs decreased by $0.9m to $1.2m in FY24 primarily due to the debt facility repayments and no debt remaining as at 30 June 2024, except for $0.1m related to credit card facilities.

Total debt as at 30 June 2024 was $136k (credit cards) compared to $3,359k as at 30 June 2023. $3,223k of principal was repaid in FY24 as noted in the cash flow statement:

Extract from Cash flow statement– FY24 $’000
$5,100
($8,323)
($3,223)

Proceeds of borrowings
Repayment of borrowings
Principal repayments

Depreciation, Amortisation and Impairment

Depreciation and amortisation decreased by $1.4m in FY24 due to all intangibles being fully amortised as at 30 June 2023, reducing amortisation by $0.8m; and lower fixed asset acquisitions in FY24 further reduced depreciation by $0.6m.

Impairment

In 2022 the Company acquired a 10% interest in UK based Mavis Broadcast Limited. Mavis technology underpins the Atomos Cloud Studio suite of products.

Whilst there has been an upward trajectory in Atomos Cloud Studio Subscription Revenue since launching in May 2023, the overall result has been below expectation. Costs to deliver revenues have exceeded $1.0m, and almost all this amount was paid to Mavis for development and delivery services. These payments represent a major component of Mavis revenue.

The Company has been advised that Mavis will undertake a capital raising in early 2025, which may result in substantial dilution of the Company’s interest in Mavis.

11

On this basis, management have assessed that the Group’s investment of $1.8m in Mavis Broadcast Limited was potentially fully impaired as at 30 June 2024. A resulting impairment of investment in associate was recognised in FY24.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense of $0.4m in FY24 relates to non-Australian 100% owned subsidiaries where a taxable profit was reported.

Net Loss After Tax

The consolidated loss of the Group for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $22.4 million (2023: loss $61.1 million).
