Dividends

Overview of operating results

Revenue of $42.8 million was down $30.5 million, or 42%, from $73.3 million. During the year the Company experienced very weak sales as a result of a deterioration in economic conditions in the industry and slower than anticipated momentum from the Company’s most recently released products. The Company also experienced lower gross margins attributed by higher cost of sales from promotional pricing and higher inventory obsolescence provisioning.

Net loss after tax for the year was at $61.1 million as compared to a loss of $10.4 million in 2022.This was primarily driven by:

  • Drop in gross profit of $24.1 million due to the impacts of the global economic downturn, channel de-stocking, and slow than planned momentum of our new products. Gross margin was also impacted by aggressive pricing to drive end user demand and significant provisions against finished goods inventory.

  • One-off expenses incurred including:

  • Impairment of non-financial assets aggregating to $30.7 million;

2

  • CEO separation and legal claim fees of $1.8 million

  • Redundancy and restructuring costs of $0.3 million.

Annual General Meeting

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.13.1, the Company advises that its annual general meeting (AGM) was held at 11:00 am (AEDT) on Thursday, 30 November 2023 at the offices of Moore Australia Audit (VIC), Level 44, 600 Bourke Street, Melbourne, 3000.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Review of Operations

FY23 was impacted by several one-offs, including impairment of non-financial assets, CEO separation and legal claim, and redundancy and restructuring costs.

Revenue of $42.8 million was down $30.5 million due to being severely impacted by the global economic downturn, the consequent de-stocking in our channel and the slower than planned momentum of our new products. Sell through analysis obtained from our channel partners demonstrates that the underlying fall in demand was much less than our own decline in sales. Once the channel de-stocking was complete, we began to see an improvement in sales, however demand remains well below 2021 and 2022.

Review of Operations (continued)

Revenue

Revenue was severely impacted by the global economic downturn, the consequent de-stocking in our channel and the slower than planned momentum of our new products. Sell through analysis obtained from our channel partners demonstrates that the underlying fall in demand was much less than our own decline in sales. Once the channel de-stocking was complete, we began to see an improvement in sales, however demand remains well below 2021 and 2022.

Gross Profit

Gross margin of 11% is significantly lower than in previous years. Atomos began 2023 carrying much higher inventory levels than desirable, this was as a result of component stockpiling during the COVID induced period of semi-conductor component scarcity and the resultant expansion in lead times, combined with a sharp decline in demand. With our channel partners expressing the need to de-stock, we used aggressive pricing to drive end user demand. We also made significant provisions against finished goods inventory which is slow-moving and excessive levels of component inventory.

Operating Costs

We took prompt action to address the weaker sales performance by reducing our cost base, predominantly through a reduction in headcount, marketing expenditure as well as other operating expenses. These actions result in a fixed cost base for FY23 of $25.2m, 19% lower than in FY22 and is expected to result in an annualised cost base of $17m in FY24 (a 44% reduction overall).

EBITDA

The EBITDA loss of $25.5 million is impacted by the factors above. The underlying EBITDA loss after adjusting for one-off/non-recurring items is $23.4 million which is $24.0 million or 4,100% lower than 2022.

Finance Costs

Finance costs increased by $1.6 million primarily due to the debt facility undertaken in June 2022.

Depreciation and Amortisation

Depreciation and amortisation decreased by $0.9 million primarily driven by the impairment of nonfinancial assets. This also includes one-off/non-recurring items of $30.7 million for impairment of nonfinancial assets incurred on 31 December 2022.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax received $0.2 million during the period relates to non-Australian 100% owned subsidiaries where a taxable profit was reported, offset by de-recognition of deferred tax liability.

Net Profit / (Loss) After Tax

The consolidated loss of the Group for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $61.1 million (2022: loss $10.4 million).
