Record Work on Hand & Positive Operating Cash Flow

SKS Technologies Group Limited (ASX:SKS) is pleased to announce a positive cash performance for the fourth quarter of FY 2021, as well as the successful integration of APEC Technologies from 1 April and a continuing strong order book.

Q4 Highlights

  • Positive cash flow from operations of $0.74m up from negative $1.21m in the previous quarter;

  • Total cash receipts increased to $10.92m, up 44% from the previous quarter;

  • Record Work on Hand of $26m.

Cash from operations was positive at $0.74 million in the current quarter, up from negative $1.21 million in the previous quarter. This result was driven by larger cash receipts from customers totalling $10.92 million compared with $7.55 million in 3Q21. Projects transitioned from APEC Technologies’ cash receipts totalled $1.98 million, while receipts from SKS Technologies increased by almost 20% to $8.94 million.

Despite operating as an integrated business since 1 April 2021 and bearing all operating costs, the full revenue impact of APEC is yet to occur as receipts accruing to the business only began to flow through towards the end of the quarter.

Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Jinks, said “The impact of the APEC Technologies acquisition has exceeded revenue expectations on a year-to-date basis, which combined with record levels of work on hand, establishes a solid foundation for FY22.”

As forecasted in the 3Q21 market update, work on hand sits slightly above the predicted $26 million.

Cash operating costs were $10.18 million compared with $8.76 million in the previous quarter. These increased costs were primarily driven by an almost doubling in staff costs from $2.2 million to $4 million. The expansion in payroll reflects the transitioning of approximately 40 employees from APEC as well as a similar increase in SKS Technologies to support continuing organic growth.

Net cash flow was $0.09 million compared with a negative $1.13 million in the previous quarter. This fourth quarter was negatively impacted by $0.31 million of one-off expenses relating to the fit-out of the new premises to accommodate the expanded business.

Cash at bank increased to $0.11 million from $0.02 million in the previous quarter. Working capital remains at a comfortable level with the current $3 million facility undrawn at the end of the quarter.

Mr Jinks said, “We expect continued growth across the fully integrated business and we are focused on ensuring that we derive the anticipated value from the combined entity. We are also progressing our stated intention to move into the managed AV and IT integrated solutions space and take the next logical step in our capability expansion. Such a move would utilise much of our existing expertise as well as build a solid recurring revenue model to diversify revenue streams.”
