Melbourne, Australia - Atomos Limited ( ‘ASX:AMS’ , ‘Atomos’ or the ‘Company’ ) today releases its Appendix 4C and Activities Report for the quarter ended 30 June 2024 (Q4 FY24) along with an update on notable events that have occurred subsequently.
Atomos Managing Director and CEO, Jeromy Young said : “Further to the ASX trading update provided on 4 July 2024, we are pleased to confirm the first units of our SunDragon LED lights will be shipped in August. We are incredibly proud of the Atomos team for the work they have done to get to this position. The launch of any new hardware product, particularly when targeted at professional lighting and video creatives, requires a hugely talented pool of individuals, which Atomos is fortunate to have.
“Building on the momentum of our two new products, we have today, launched our third new product in 4 months, a brand-new version of our second best-selling product, the Shinobi II, and it’s shipping today.
“While our cash receipts were strong in Q4, the highest this financial year, cash outflow of $4.8m included over $3.0m of one-off items. As a result, the Q4 cash outflow is not reflective of our current run-rate cost base as, in addition to the one-offs outlined, we also experienced the completion of previous discounting agreements coupled with seasonally higher spending on event-driven activities, such as the NABSHOW in April. Our investment and presence at NABSHOW was critical in repositioning Atomos as an industry leading innovation company.
“With our new products in market and shipping, we are now focused on furthering educating our customer base on the benefits of these products in being able to enhance their creative offering whilst speeding up the workflow process.”
Financial Update
Atomos delivered sales (unaudited) of ~$9.7m, the highest quarterly revenue in FY24.
FY24 sales (unaudited) of $35.6m[1] , with H2 FY24 sales (unaudited) of ~$18.2m exceeding H1 FY24 sales of $17.4m. 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 2H sales in the core existing product line.
Atomos generated Q4 cash receipts of $10.1m, the highest quarterly cash receipts in FY24.
Operating cash outflow in Q4 of $4.8m, was driven by several one-offs and event-driven seasonally elevated expenses, including:
-
Investment in inventory and R&D ahead of new product launches, along with catch-up on supplier payment plans delayed until completion of the capital raise
-
Advertising and marketing increase in-line with April NABSHOW launch of new products
-
Increased admin and corporate costs reflecting several remaining one-off legal, registry and advisory costs associated with completion of the capital raise and ASX re-quotation
-
Interest cost of $0.2m relating to debt now repaid
-
Payment of $0.7m relating to historic income tax liability of German subsidiary.
Cash balance of $2.9m as of 30 June 2024 with no debt.
Payments to related parties and their associates of $0.2m, relate to remuneration of both executive and non-executive Directors.

Outlook
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 23). The restructure is expected to be complete by Q1 FY25 with targeted EBITDA breakeven around $45m of sales.
Atomos expects increasing sales momentum in Q1 FY25 with the launch of two new products and today's launch of the Shinobi II.
This announcement has been authorised for lodgement with ASX by the Board of Directors.

(4,829) 2,900 371 |
| 3,271 | ||
| Answer: No – as outlined in the Quarterly Activities Report, several operating costs incurred in Q4 were one-off (such as advisory and interest costs associated with completion of the capital raise and debt repayment) or seasonally higher ‘event-driven’ expenses which will be reduced in future periods. Additionally, Atomos is expected to complete its cost restructure in Q1 FY25 which will see a further reduction in the run-rate cost base. This, coupled with the launch of new products, being the Ninja Phone and Sun Dragon, will see a significant improvement in operating cashflows from July 2024 onwards. |

8.6.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful? Answer:
Yes. Management have engaged with several lenders to provide a Working Capital facility and we believe this will be in place prior to the end of Q1, 2025. Separately, as part of the capital raise completed in May 2024, 551m options with an exercise price of $0.03 were issued. This represents a potential $16.5m of further capital that may be injected into the business, subject to Atomos share price performance and investors exercising their options.
8.6.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis? Answer: Yes, refer above. Note: where item 8.5 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.6.1, 8.6.2 and 8.6.3 above must be answered.
