Commentary on the results for FY21

The net statutory profit after tax attributable to members is $5.3m, up $12.6m on FY20. The profit after tax is an outstanding result in a difficult year which was significantly impacted by COVID-19 and government restrictions across our business, especially the UK - the major source of revenue - which this financial year experienced approximately 7 months of lockdowns.

The pleasing result reflects strong cost management, an outstanding 25% growth in the number of UK sites, the opening of a new parking management business in New Zealand, and settlement of outstanding litigation matters. Underlying growth in the core parking management business is accelerating as the vaccination rollout reduces the impact of COVID -19.

The results include a net $6.4m positive adjustment related to the resolution of outstanding UK VAT matters with HMRC (refer to Note 22 for additional information), and a net $1.2m from dispute settlements on other matters.

EBITDA is $11.2m, up by $14.6m on FY20. After accounting for $9.0m of unusual and nonrecurring items, the Adjusted EBITDA profit of $2.2m is up 354%, or $3.1m, against FY20 (refer Note 2 for an explanation of unusual and non-recurring items). The improvement is largely due to the growing number of parking sites under management along with the impact of cost reductions, despite being partly offset by lower levels of activity due to COVID-19.

Despite months of government restrictions, total revenue of $20.7m for FY21 was down only 4% on FY20. Revenue in the Parking Management division of $16.3m was down 6% (2020: $17.2m). The COVID-19 global pandemic continued to cause volatility in trading results with varying restrictions over the range of locations. Despite COVID-19 restrictions, the company won and installed an additional 141 new ANPR sites for a mix of existing and new customers, resulting in the net 25% increase in sites over the year. The portfolio has undergone rapid

Page 1

growth over the last two years, as shown in the next graph, rising from 389 sites under management at 30 June 2019, to 496 sites at 30 June 2020, to 619 sites under management at 30 June 2021.

The company established a Parking Management business in NZ with the business performing ahead of expectations with 6 sites installed at 30 June. An Australian Parking Management business was recently launched starting in Queensland, and the focus in NZ and Australia is on growing the pipeline to capitalise on the new market opportunity.

==> picture [111 x 117] intentionally omitted <==

The company remains focused on its strategy of growing the installed number of sites to 1,000 by 30 June 2023.

Despite the increase in sites, the number of PBNs issued decreased by 4% in FY21 due to the significant impact of COVID-19 restrictions. However, following a recent easing in UK COVID19 restrictions, pleasingly, PBNs for Q4 FY21 were up 14% compared to Q4 FY19 (pre COVID19) and up 278% on the same period last year. In the absence of government restrictions and changed driver behaviours, the division expects strong revenue and earnings growth in FY22 as a result of increased car count, longer stay times, as well as the contribution of new sites installed during FY21 and ongoing further new sites.

The 18% reduction in costs resulted in Adjusted EBITDA for FY21 in the Parking Management Division of $4.2m, up 36% on FY20. Personnel costs of $4.0m were down 20% on the prior corresponding period following a review of resourcing requirements in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19, utilisation of the UK Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and reductions to executive and staff salaries.

External revenue in the Technology division was up 4% on the prior corresponding period to $4.4m. Installations included City of Marion, Wyndham City Council, Queen Victoria Market and Ormiston Town Centre (NZ). The Adjusted EBITDA profit of $0.3m improved from a loss of $1.8m in FY20, a pleasing result in spite of ongoing disruption from government lockdowns.

SPZ at the date of reporting has $3.3m of work in progress and new orders to deliver which includes a delayed order from Gatwick Airport (United Kingdom) for $1.3m. The timing of installation and revenue recognition for the Gatwick Airport contract remains uncertain due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The company continues to implement initiatives as it proactively seeks to further enhance the technology division’s profitability.

The company invested $1.0m on Research and Development and continued to invest in technology. The division continued to enhance the functionality of its Smart City platform (SmartCloud) and Parking App, and launched its Enforcement Management System, to complete the end-to-end customer journey, opening up a wider pool of customers with a greater product offering.

The company is seeing a strong recovery in early FY22:

  • All UK restrictions on social contact were removed on 19[th] July 2021.

  • At 15[th] August, 40.4 million people (approximately 76% of UK adults) in the UK have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

  • The company has seen an increase in both the car count and contravention rate as UK restrictions are eased with the company issuing 41,885 PBNs in July (July 2019: 34,729) and up from a low of 6,250 in April 2020.

  • The average stay time is increasing and still has room to grow towards pre-COVID levels. Grace periods have reverted to historical levels.

  • In addition to the 68 sites recently acquired sites, the Managed Services division expects to install 55 new sites in Q1 FY22. The division is focused on growing the number of installations by 200 new sites in FY22.

  • The Group incurred $2.0m of capital investment in FY21, the benefit of which will be realised largely in future periods.

  • The Technology division continues to win new business, and was recently awarded Queensgate multi-storey car park (NZ).

==> picture [336 x 157] intentionally omitted <==

Net operating cash inflows for the year were $6.7m, up from an outflow of $0.2m in FY20. This includes net cash inflows from dispute settlements (after deducting legal costs) of $1.2m and a net UK VAT settlement receipt of $2.4m (after deducting professional fees).

At year end, the group had available cash of $10.7m. The company conducted a share buyback in FY21 at a total cost of $1.1m. In July 2020, the group entered into a UK Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan for $2.7m which was drawn down during September to be used for working capital and capital expenditure. The loan is repayable in 36 monthly instalments commencing from the first anniversary after draw down. Refer to Note 15 for additional information.

The tax losses in Smart Parking Limited (UK) were consumed in FY21 following the recovery from COVID-19, the ongoing growth in sites under management, and the resolution of outstanding VAT matters.

On 6[th] August 2021, the Group entered into an agreement to acquire Enterprise Parking Solutions Limited (Enterprise Parking) for total cash consideration of $1.5m. Enterprise Parking provides parking management solutions in the UK and has 68 sites under management using license plate recognition technology to provide enforcement management services.

Further commentary on the results is included in the Market Announcement and Investor Presentation.

  • Adjusted EBITDA takes into account items incurred in the current period which are not expected to occur in the future and are considered non-operational or non-recurring in nature. Refer to Note 2 for further details.

9. Segment information (Appendix 4E item 14.4)

a) Description of segments

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board that are used to make strategic decisions.

The Board considers the business from a product perspective and has identified three reportable segments. Technology consists of the sale of Smart City and IoT technology products and solutions predominantly to the parking market globally, Parking Management consists of the provision of car parking management services on behalf of third party car park owners and on sites leased by the Company and managed on its own behalf in the UK, New Zealand and Australia, and Research and Development includes costs to research, develop and enhance software/hardware for both the Technology and Parking Management divisions.

The segment disclosures are before corporate costs. The corporate function’s main purpose is to conduct financing and Head Office activities and represents parent company costs which are not otherwise allocated to operating segments and foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation of foreign operations.

Cash at bank includes cash that Smart Parking Limited (UK) has collected and counted on behalf of customers, the associated liability for this is included in other payables.

The Parking Management division collects cash from sites that it operates on behalf of customers on an ongoing basis. These amounts are material. As cash is collected and banked, a corresponding liability is recognised for the same amount. As payment terms vary between customers the cash profile of collecting and remitting cash is variable and can have a material impact on the company’s cash balances at any one point in time.

22. Other Significant Information (Appendix 4E item 12)

VAT

The company has settled with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) on UK VAT matters related to the administration of Parking Breach Notices.

The settlement resulted in:

  • HMRC withdrawing assessments raised in August 2019 for $3.0m which were provided for in the FY20 accounts.

  • HMRC refunding an overpayment of input VAT of $2.9m.

  • SPZ writing back to profit $6.9m of prior year input VAT which is a one-off benefit in FY21. This comprises the reversal of a $4.0m provision in the FY20 accounts for unpaid input VAT, in addition to the cash refund of $2.9m to be received for overpaid input VAT.

  • SPZ withdrawing Notices of Appeal that had been lodged in relation to the matter.

  • SPZ restricting input VAT on a small number of leased sites where the company acts as principal.

The $6.9m writeback to profit for prior years is partly offset by VAT expert advisor fees of $0.5m, giving a net $6.4m positive impact on profit in FY21.

Refer to the attached Market Announcement and Investor Presentation for other significant information.

23. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 6[th] August 2021, the Group entered into an agreement to acquire Enterprise Parking Solutions Limited (Enterprise Parking) for total cash consideration of $1.5m. Enterprise Parking provides parking management solutions in the UK and its 68 sites increase the Company’s sites under management by 11%.
