Melbourne, Australia - Atomos Limited ( ‘ASX:AMS’ , ‘Atomos’ or the ‘Company’ ) today releases its Appendix 4C and Activities Report for the quarter ended 31 March 2024 (Q3 FY24) along with an update on notable events that have occurred subsequently.

Atomos Managing Director and CEO, Jeromy Young, said: “Following a period or cost realignment and product re-focus, lodging the Prospectus on 12 April 2024 was one of the key remaining milestones in being able to return Atomos to a growth trajectory with a clear pathway to sustainable profit.”

“Driven by the launch of our two new products – Ninja Phone and Sun Dragon – the last few weeks have created significant global excitement around the Company, with the initial feedback from our sales channel, distribution partners and customers all being very positive.”

“We still have a significant task ahead to restore investor confidence in the business, however over the past month we have taken material steps in setting the foundation to make this possible.”

Business Update

On 12 April 2024, Atomos announced two new products at the NABSHOW in Las Vegas, one of the largest global trade shows for the AV, broadcast, production and video industries.

Specifically, the two products were:

  • Ninja Phone: a video co-processor for the latest iPhone models that allows users to record from professional cameras directly onto the iPhone’s storage; and

  • Sun Dragon: a unique ‘sun-spectrum’ range of LED lights, expanding product portfolio into an adjacent segment of video production ecosystem.

Atomos expects to initial sales of these two products in June 2024.

Financial Update

Atomos generated unaudited sales of $8.5m in Q3, a seasonally weaker period for sales given slower trading in the January /February months.

The Company generated Q3 cash receipts of $8.0m with FY24 YTD (9 month) cash receipts of $27.5m highlighting the Company’s ability to convert sales to cash in a timely manner.

In Q3, Atomos delivered an operating cash outflow of $3.7m, which was primarily driven by lower cash receipts and higher spending on professional services costs related to the capital raise and marketing given the global launch of two new products at the NABSHOW in early April 2024.

As noted in Item 6 of the Company’s attached Appendix 4C, payments made to related parties and their associates totalled $0.1m for the quarter, which related to Directors’ fees.

Capital Raise

On 12 April 2024, the Company lodged a Prospectus to raise up to $16.0m (before costs) via a:

  • Placement of up to $8.0m ( Placement ), subject to shareholder approval; and

  • Fully underwritten non-renounceable entitlement offer of approximately $8.0m ( Entitlement Offer ) at a ratio of 1 new share for every 1 existing share held at the record date (18 April 2024)

The Company also lodged a Notice of Meeting ( NOM ) for purposes of conducting an EGM on Thursday, 16 May 2024 .

Shareholders are encouraged to review the NOM and to attend and vote at the EGM. In relation to the resolutions, the major shareholder and Directors (as and where they are legally able to), intend to vote in favour of all resolutions.

Following completion and settlement of the Placement and Entitlement Offer, Atomos expects its shares to return to trading on ASX[.1]

Outlook

The Company continues to review and restructure its fixed operating cost base which is expected to be completed over the balance of the FY24 financial year. Upon completion of the restructure, the annualised fixed operating costs of Atomos are expected to be approximately $16.0m.

Following launch of the two new products on 12 April 2024, the Company has received strong interest from all key stakeholders – content creators, industry partners and sales channel partners / distributors. The Company is increasingly confident the new products will contribute materially to sales which is expected to be begin in June 2024, as further outlined in the Prospectus.

This announcement has been authorised for lodgement with ASX by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Answer:
No – as part of the restructure process Atomos has been and is still undertaking a
cost base reduction program. This, coupled with the launch of new products, being
the Ninja Phone and Sun Dragon, will see a significant improvement in operating
cashflows from June 2024 onwards. Our planned $16m capital raising will see the
business sufficiently capitalised into the future.
