Comments

The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to \$4,291,194 (30 June 2017: \$1,436,029).

During the half-year, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering ('IPO') on the Australian Securities Exchange ('ASX'). The offer was oversubscribed raising the maximum \$7.5million, principally from ten institutional investors. Proceeds were used to strengthen the Company's balance sheet and accelerate commercialisation of the Simble Energy Platform. Simble delivered these key prospectus targets, reducing total balance sheet liabilities by \$6.5million whilst announcing channel partnerships with Optus, Synnex Australia, and Powercor UK to take the Simble Energy Platform to market.

With onboarded customer sites growing at a compound annual growth rate exceeding 100%, Simble is the fastest growing energy SaaS company listed on the ASX. Subsequent to end of the half year period, the Company has received additional orders for the Simble Energy Platform totalling \$0.66million.

However, as the Simble Energy Platform represents a new revenue stream, the Company's financial performance during the half was principally driven by its mobility unit and Federal Government R&D rebates.

Total revenue was \$1.15million, a decline of 0.9% due to lower mobility sales as the Company focused resources on commercialisation of the Simble Energy Platform. Gross margin declined from 69% to 55% as revenue recognition was aligned with the Company's recently implemented distributor model of supply chain.

The distributor model is a capital efficient mechanism to meet growing demand for the Simble Energy Platform. It provides Simble the logistical capacity to service a step change in sales volumes without having to invest and develop the required infrastructure itself. Its implementation requires all hardware componentry associated with the Simble Energy Platform to be recognised upfront, rather than just the Company's margin, as was previously advised in Simble's prospectus.

As a result, the Company has commenced booking all hardware componentry associated with the Simble Energy Platform upfront. The remaining contract value will continue to be recognised on a pro rata basis over the contract life as a support and service component, thereby generating recurring revenue. As hardware carries a lower margin than our software, this shift in revenue recognition practices has impacted gross margin.

The loss after tax widened from \$1.44million to \$4.29million. Approximately a quarter of this increased loss was attributable to non recurring IPO costs (\$0.74million). The balance of the widened loss was due to increased sales and marketing expenses and increased overhead associated with the transition to a public company structure.

The results for the year ended 30 June 2018 were impacted by a non-recurring item attributable to the IPO. Underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ('EBITDA') is a key measurement used by management and the board to assess and review business performance, and accordingly the table below provides a reconciliation between statutory net loss and underlying EBITDA.

Review of operations

The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to \$4,291,194 (30 June 2017: \$1,436,029).

During the half-year, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering ('IPO') on the Australian Securities Exchange ('ASX').

With onboarded customer sites growing at a compound annual growth rate exceeding 100%, Simble is the fastest growing energy SaaS company listed on the ASX. Subsequent to end of the half year period, the Company has received additional orders for the Simble Energy Platform totalling \$0.66million.

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover Simble Solutions Limited as a Group consisting of Simble Solutions Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Simble Solutions Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Simble Solutions Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:

Level 12 6-10 O'Connell Street Sydney NSW 2000

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 31 August 2018.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report and were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 January 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

AASB 9 'Financial Instruments' is not considered to have a material impact on the financial statements. The impact on disclosure of comparative financial information is presented in note 3.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group has adopted AASB 15 from 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting policies below. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.

Historically the Group provided services which were recognised over a period of time, and consequently the application of AASB 15 has had no impact on the opening balance of equity as it was in line with the requirements of AASB 15. The impact on disclosures of comparative financial information is presented in note 3.

In the current half-year period, the Group commenced selling its Simble Energy Platform services which include a hardware component. Revenue recognised in relation to the hosting of the Simble Energy Platform is recognised over a period of time, whilst the sale of hardware is recognised at a point in time.

Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability.

Rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period that services are provided.

Consulting revenue is recognised by reference to completion of deliverables.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Group's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier), before the Group has transferred the goods or services to the customer. The liability is the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer from which it has received consideration.

Going concern

The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the half-year financial period ended 30 June 2018 reflects a loss after income tax of \$4.29 million and the consolidated statement of cash flows reflects net cash outflows from operations of \$4.46 million. The directors have reviewed the cash flow forecast prepared by management for the period through to 31 August 2019. The cash flow forecast indicates that the Group will have sufficient funding to operate as a going concern during the forecast period, and on this basis the directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.

The cash flow forecast is predicated on the Group achieving its anticipated rate of cash inflows from conversion and delivery of sales pipeline opportunities over the forecast period. The directors believe that the actions currently being undertaken will support achieving these outcomes.
