ASX Release

3Q21 Cash Funds Higher Trading Activity

SKS Technologies Group Limited (ASX: SKS) announces a cash position of $0.02 million following higher than normal working capital requirements in 3Q21 as a result of increased trading activity in 2Q21 and usual seasonal factors. The result was consistent with management expectations of typical working capital fluctuations. The cash position was restored on the first day of 4Q21 with receipts of $1 million.

The 3Q21 results reflect an increase in cash outlays to suppliers in January and February to fund the heightened trading activity late last year as the Victorian operations emerged from the second lockdown, while receipts from customers were impacted by the seasonal slowdown. Cashflow from operations was negative $1.21 million, and total cash generated for the period was negative $1.13 million.

Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Jinks, said “The 3Q21 level of activity was significantly higher than the business has experienced in the past, and based on the high invoice months of February and March, we expect higher than usual receipts in 4Q21”.

“We also expect volumes to continue at the current rate and anticipate healthy invoicing from the incoming APEC projects, our recent acquisition that was merged into SKS Technologies on 1 April this year, to translate into higher than normal collections in June.”

The order book, which sits at a record level of $22 million post the APEC acquisition, is up 10%, with further growth expected with the finalisation of new contracts relating to an additional $4 million of work in the coming weeks. These new contracts, which will be undertaken for large blue-chip and government clients, will take work on hand to a record $26 million. Working capital to fund this increased level of operations is adequate, particularly given the $3 million financing facility that was drawn down by only $0.18 million at the end of 3Q21.

Mr Jinks also said, “We have completed the integration of all operating systems related to APEC Technologies Group and all staff will be relocated to SKS Technologies’ facilities by the end of June. The focus is now firmly on realising the value that combining these two businesses can deliver via cost efficiencies as well as expanded opportunities.

“Having experienced the impact of COVID19 lockdowns on business’ continued ability to operate viably, the requirement for integrated systems that reliably connect workforces has become of paramount importance under business continuity planning processes across industries.”
