ASX Announcement
Business Review for the Quarter ended 30 June 2021
TZ Limited (ASX: TZL) (“TZ” or “the Company”), a leader in access control, smart lock and self-serve locker bank systems is pleased to release its Appendix 4C - Quarterly Cash Flow Report for the quarter ended 30 June 2021.
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
The net cash from operating activities for this quarter was -$1.2M (Q4 FY20: -$0.4M), bringing the total net result for FY21 to -$2.1M (FY20: -$3.9M). The full year result is a significant improvement on the previous financial year.
-
The significant cash flows for operating activities during the quarter were:
oReceipts of $2.8 million. -
Payments of product manufacturing and operating costs of $1.8 million.
-
oPayments for staff costs of $1.8 million. -
Payments for interest expenses of $0.4 million.
-
Several financing activities occurred during and following the quarter as outlined below.
Recapitalisation
During the quarter TZ undertook a number of activities to recapitalise the business in order to strengthen its balance sheet. This included completing a share placement to wholesale and institutional investors of $2.58 million (29 April) followed by a completed Rights Issue raising $7.06 million (11 June). These activities raised $9.6 million (before costs) in new equity capital allowing the Company to pay down $7.6 million in principal debt and $0.4 million in interest. A new $2.5 million loan facility with First Samuel (with an interest rate of BBSW+4.5% and maturing on 31 July 2022) was established on 30 June which allowed the business to pay down a further $2.1 million of maturing debt after the end of the quarter. Lastly, First Samuel has agreed to convert a further $2 million of maturing debt to equity; the conversion is subject to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 16[th] August. Conditional on this shareholder approval, the end result will be debt with First Samuel of $2.5 million, a reduction of $9.2 million from the company’s debt with First Samuel at the end of the last quarter of $11.7 million. This is a significant improvement for the business. This recapitalisation will save the business approximately $0.8 million in interest cost per annum.

BUSINESS UPDATE
As previously stated, the board and executive team of TZ have focused on building a sustainable business model for TZ. Now with the recapitalisation almost complete and the business in a much healthier position, the board wishes to reiterate its focus on running a profitable business with three key goals in mind. These goals include
-
To create a sustainable business model.
-
To grow everyday revenue.
-
To build operational efficiencies.
As such the business is pleased to advise that it expects to report a break-even EBITDA result for FY21 (unaudited). TZ is also increasing its recurring annuity revenue outlook as a result of new contracts that will increase the recurring revenue base for FY22 to approximately $3 million, representing a 25% increase over the FY21 result (unaudited). During the period the business also completed a major milestone rolling out its new finance, inventory, supply chain and project management system Odoo. This is a major milestone for the business, building key infrastructure required to achieve the 3 goals above.
Encouragingly, the business is starting the new financial year with a much stronger order book than in recent years, particularly in our US business, setting the Company up for a successful FY22. The business is focused on ensuring the business is cash flow positive in FY22 with continued growth in building sustainable revenue streams for the future.
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
During the reporting period, TZ Limited’s business activities continued to be the sale of smart locking solutions and supporting software. Per item 6.1 of the Appendix 4C, $93,000 was paid to directors for non-executive directors’ fees and salary for the executive director.
OUTLOOK
We remain confident that the changes that have been made will enable the business to achieve its stated goal of trading cash flow positive in the near term. Attention is now being given to exploring various strategic opportunities with the focus of shifting the business in new areas of participation which will support rapid expansion and growth.
