Villeurbanne, France, September, 23 2020 – 5:45 pm CEST – Navya (FR0013018041- NAVYA), a leading company in autonomous driving systems, announces its results for the first half of 2020.

Etienne Hermite, Chief Executive Officer of Navya comments: « The first half of 2020 was characterized by the COVID-19 crisis. Many experiments around the world were interrupted for a few weeks. They were generally able to resume without difficulty once the lockdown was over. The health situation provided an opportunity to highlight new use cases, such as the fully autonomous transport of COVID tests to the Mayo Clinic in Florida. We were also able to work on the development of an experiment in Châteauroux (in collaboration with Keolis) in a fully autonomous environment, with the safety driver outside of the vehicle. At the same time, we decided to significantly reduce overhead costs and increase our investments in R&D, which create significant technological value. This has enabled us to reduce our cash consumption by 68%. With a strengthened cash position, Navya will continue to achieve technological and time-to-market milestones for its autonomous driving systems in the coming months ».

Sales activity and financial results for the first half of 2020

In the first half of 2020, Navya generated revenues of €4.7 million, down 23% compared to the first half of 2019. Health crisis has led to some postponements of experiments, mainly for operational reasons (impossibility to implement projects). H1 2020 revenues from Vehicle Sales stood at €3.1m, down 37% vs. H1 2019, while Services continued to grow (+34% vs. H1 2019) and now account for €1.6m, or 33% of revenues for the half year.

This increase in Services is the result of the growth in the installed base and Navya's desire to focus its business model on the delivery of a range of services around the autonomous vehicle. With 10 vehicles sold during the first half of 2020, the installed base of AUTONOM® SHUTTLE now stands at 169 shuttles, an increase of +26% compared to the end of June 2019.

Sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses decreased respectively by 32% and 35%. This control results from Navya's decision to focus investments in R&D, which increased by 13% during the period. Quarter after quarter, Navya continues to invest in the development of its technology, which is the Company's strategic priority, in order to become the benchmark player in the supply of autonomous driving systems for specialized vehicles on the first and last mile. Over the past six months, cash consumption has decreased significantly to €4.7 million, a decrease of 68% compared to the same period in 2019.

All in all, operating profit and net profit improved by €2.4 million and €2.5 million respectively to €(10.8) million and €(11.3) million.

Strengthening of the financial structure: cash position of €27.4 million at the end of August 2020

In January 2020, Navya received the prize money of €1.9 million for the awards received in October 2019 as part of the "Dubai World Challenge for Self-Driving Transport". As a reminder, the Company had won two of the three Awards, for "Best Endurance & Reliability" and "Best Consumer Experience", against 16 competitors.

In February 2020, Navya announced the subscription by ESMO Corporation of the remaining 10 ORNANE (bonds repayable in cash and/or into new and/or existing shares) for an amount of €10 million, the proceeds of which will be used to strengthen Navya's R&D activities.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of €23.3 million, compared to €19.0 million at the end of 2019.

Finally, at the beginning of September, Navya announced that it had obtained a €4.5 million credit agreement, guaranteed by the French State. With this loan, the Company's available cash amounts to €27.4 million as of August 31, 2020.
