REMSENSE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED | APPENDIX 4E | 30 JUNE 2024 | Results for Announcement to the Market

Commentary on Results

RemSense experienced a year marked by significant advancements in our virtualplant technology, successful project deliveries, and strategic restructuring aimed at driving future growth.

As detailed hereafter, whilst revenue decreased compared to the prior year, the Group’s ability to improve gross margin, reduce net loss, and enhance operational efficiencies, including lower staff hours and turnover, reflects our commitment to building a resilient and sustainable business and look forward to continuing this progress in the coming year.

RemSense has a robust sales pipeline with opportunities across various sectors, including oil and gas, mining, utilities, and now extending into construction and facility management. The Group’s strategy to leverage existing client relationships while expanding into new markets and sectors is expected to drive continued growth.

Throughout the financial year ending 30 June 2024, RemSense continued to strengthen its position in the oil and gas and mining sectors. The company delivered major projects, including the virtualplant technology for Newmont’s Boddington Gold Mine, Chevron’s LNG projects in Australia’s northwest, as well as Woodside Energy’s Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels. These projects involved both terrestrial and dronebased reality capture, providing high-resolution 3D models and detailed inspections that enhance operational safety and efficiency. RemSense also expanded its service offerings, delivering drone-based water sampling for mining companies including BHP.

Technological innovation was a key focus for RemSense, with continuous development and enhancement of its virtualplant platform. The platform saw significant upgrades, including an enhanced user interface, improved data security, and advanced AI capabilities for asset management. These features were integrated with Enterprise Asset Management systems like SAP and IBM Maximo, making virtualplant a leading solution in asset visualisation and auditing. The integration of IoT capabilities and drone imagery further positioned the platform as a comprehensive tool for real-time operational insights and detailed asset management.

The company also pursued strategic partnerships to expand its market reach, particularly in North America and Southeast Asia. Negotiations with international partners (Malaysia, US) were aimed at reselling and deploying virtualplant across these regions, reflecting RemSense’s global growth strategy.

RemSense focused on securing capital to support its operations and growth initiatives. The company raised funds through placements and entitlement offers, while also securing an R&D rebate. These efforts were complemented by a restructuring of the leadership team, including the appointment of a new CEO with extensive industry experience and changes to the board of directors. These leadership changes were instrumental in driving new sales initiatives and expanding the company’s business development capabilities.

Financially, during the financial year ending 30 June 2024, the Group experienced a decrease in revenue compared to the prior year. Despite this decline, the Group successfully improved its gross margin and reduced its overall loss, reflecting the effectives of cost management strategies and operational improvements.

Revenue for the year was $1,663,375, down 20.22% from $2,084,835 in the prior year. The reduction in revenue is primarily attributed to the Group’s decision to focus its efforts on the further development and marketing of its virtualplant technology, scanning services and provision for virtualplant subscription contracts, rather than nonvirtualplant related engineering projects.

Despite the reduction in revenue, the Group achieved a gross margin of 63.96%, an improvement from 54.12% in the prior year. This improvement in gross margin can be attributed to cost control measures and improved operational efficiencies.

REMSENSE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED | APPENDIX 4E | 30 JUNE 2024 | Results for Announcement to the Market

The Group’s net loss of $2,306,165, is a 23.99% reduction from the loss of $3,033,883 in the prior year. This reduction is the result of improved gross margins and strategic reductions in operating expenses, including more efficient use of staff hours.

Over the course of the latter part of the financial year, management addressed staffing levels, leading to a reduction in personnel outlays, whilst maintaining productivity and quality solutions for customers. Additionally, the new leadership team ensured the retention of key staff member resources that has contributed to improved efficient and a consistently productive operational technology enhancing environment.

The Leadership Group has targeted on revitalising its business development capability which has resulted in a growing sales pipeline with opportunities across oil and gas, mining, and the utilities sectors. The improvements in gross margin, reduced loss, enhanced operational efficiency, and new customer responsive solutions, position us well for future growth and ultimately profitability.

In summary, RemSense’s achievements in project delivery, technology development, and strategic growth initiatives are driven by customer risk mitigation solutions, that set the stage for a strong and successful future. The company is well-positioned to capitalise on the emerging opportunities and expand its global footprint in the coming year.

Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of RemSense Technologies Limited.

For management purposes, the Group is organised into one operating segment, collecting customer data, processing this information, and delivering outcome reports. This includes technology research and development, RPAS services and its virtualplant Visual Twin software products, and services to a range of markets and applications. All the Group’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the CODM as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from the segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole. The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally are the same as those adopted in the financial statements.

During the year ending 30 June 2024, revenue totalling $749,770 and $607,290 were derived from two of the Group’s customers (2023: $1,109,920 and $641,491). These revenues are attributed to the provision of VP scanning services and subscriptions.

There have been no changes to the basis of segmentation or the measurement basis for segment profit or loss since 30 June 2023.
