OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW:
During the quarter, the INTEGRATEDXR[] suite enabled the company to implement digital transformation strategies for multiple customers across various market segments.
It's worth noting that the stated FY24 TCV has a number of historical clients, including Ferretti, Solidworld, Kiosk Embedded Systems and Mirvac, as well as new customers gained in FY23 such as Bedshed and Shimizu. This highlights the Company's ability to maintain long-term relationships with its clients.
The strategy of operational groups focused on selected market segments is progressing as below:
-
Real Estate & Furniture: The Company has expanded its offerings into related industries, including architectural and design products, furniture, and lifestyle items like superyachts and swimming pools. These efforts have resulted in multiple commercial activities expected to increase the TCV in the upcoming quarters. In addition, the Company's global expansion has opened up many opportunities in key global markets, including Saudi Arabia, Dubai, France, the United States, Italy, Australia, and India.
-
Fashion, Retail, Service Agencies and Food: The Company has been focused on improving its position in this market segment with the support of its recent acquisition of Invrsion. Notably, the Company has secured a contract with Ferrero for over $200k to develop new Shelfzone features and content, enhancing its offerings in the market. Additionally, the Company has signed a contract with Nestlé Italia to serve as an official supplier for executing projects within the Shelfzone framework. This partnership is expected to create new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
-
Healthcare: The Company has strategically targeted large hospitals and affiliated universities, aiming to integrate the INTEGRATEDXR[] suite into various aspects, from educational services to doctor-patient communication, aligning with their risk management initiatives. For example, the Company has formed partnerships with institutions such as Humanitas University and the University of Reggio Calabria, among others, to realise the comprehensive vision of extended reality (“XR") and its associated technologies and hardware in this vital domain.
-
Defence, Space, Military & Law Enforcement: The Company recently completed independent third-party testing of a pilot project worth $2 million on a TCV basis (ASX: 2 March 2023 and 30 April 2023). The Company is pursuing additional orders and expanding within this strategic market segment. The Company anticipates finalising the subsequent order awards during FY24, subject to final agreements and negotiations with the customer. In particular, the company has focused on defence and security scopes, supporting end customers in local entities, including the army, navy, air force, police, and homeland security.
-
During the quarter, the Company signed a binding partnership agreement with Thales Alenia Space, Next One Film Group, and ALTEC to develop Lunar City, a space-focused Virtual Reality (“VR”) metaverse platform (ASX: 9 August 2023). The primary aim of this platform is to promote space travel and inspire future generations as NASA's Artemis Program prepares to return astronauts to the lunar surface. The Company is currently working with its partners to identify key stakeholders who can join the partnership and help bring the solution to market. The space industry is considered a significant opportunity for the company to capitalise on, as it is projected to reach a value of $1 trillion by 2030[2] . This growth is expected to open up substantial prospects for the Company. Additionally, the Company is exploring opportunities in geospatial services and satellite-based communication solutions for land and sea.

-
Grants & Tenders: The company has been awarded ~$1.2m in grants from various European and Italian institutions to support the development of new technological solutions. The company is currently evaluating the impact of these grants on its overall growth strategy and financial performance. It is important to note that this value is not currently reflected in the FY24 TCV value.
-
Partners & Distributors: Throughout the quarter, the Company made significant efforts to strengthen its relationships with key partners and distributors, especially in the European region. Prominent companies, such as Accenture, Cisco, Area, and Kiosk Embedded Systems, were among the partners that the Company collaborated with. This strategic approach aimed to enhance the Company's visibility across various operating groups and market segments. Notably, most sales these partners and distributors generated were one-time transactions with low profit margins. However, the Company expects to improve the profitability of these sales by increasing its focus on the high-margin XR and AI components within the INTEGRATEDXR[] workflow during FY24.
-
Industrial, Machinery & Industrial Food: The Company focuses on operations on the shop floor. These operations include systems, maintenance, technical training, remote assistance and logistics. The Company has partnered with key industry players such as Cisco, XPro Nimax, and Enginsoft to create differentiation in the market by offering critical technologies that help customers solve their pain points and grow within this sector. The Company is developing solutions to address these critical pain points with its partners, including integrations with Computer Aided Engineering (“CAE”) software. The Company expects a significant increase in sales in this segment during the second half of the fiscal year.
-
Transportation, Automotive & Naval: During the quarter, the Company has made progress in implementing its INTEGRATEDXR[] solution for Trenitalia - a leading train fleet operator. The solution, first announced on 26 November 2020, is expected to transform maintenance procedures with 3D and AR technologies. This initiative is critical and is likely to generate significant interest in the market segment. In addition, the company has continued to work with Marotta (ASX: 28 July 2023) and has made significant inroads to expand within this segment thanks to its partner and distribution network.
-
Sports, Betting, Media & Telco: The Company uses technology to enhance fan engagement by creating and distributing live event content globally in the Sports and Entertainment sector. In Broadcasting, the Company is collaborating with major service providers to transform traditional broadcasters into new media global companies by focusing on OTT platforms. Additionally, the Company is embracing Virtual Production (“VP”) in the Cinema industry.
-
“Public Sector, Education & Banking” and “Pharma & Energy”: The Company aims to expand its XR and AI capabilities that fit within the INTEGRATEDXR[] suite by selectively adding companies with established solutions to gain organic growth opportunities within these segments.
TECHNOLOGY:
The Company focused on research and development efforts throughout the quarter to enhance the INTEGRATEDXR[] suite. These initiatives included integrating real estate with cloud-based VR, developing XR kiosks for the retail sector, and incorporating Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and add-ons for maintenance purposes.
The Company is committed to progress in various fields, specifically integrating XR CAE technology into engineering simulation. This sector offers promising opportunities to expand into specific markets. In addition, the Company is focusing on developing XR logistics solutions and industrial configurators. Moreover, the Company is exploring smart building technologies to enhance efficiency and sustainability in construction and real estate.

The Company is currently evaluating the implementation of specialised cyber security measures, both internally and externally, to comply with new regulations that aim to ensure the creation of critical infrastructure for national security. This is particularly relevant for the Defence, Space, Military and Law Enforcement sectors.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW:
BOARD CHANGES:
Throughout the quarter, the Company has been assessing prospective additions and modifications to its board of directors to enlist individuals who share the Company's vision. Furthermore, the Company seeks to appoint a new Chief Financial Officer as it embarks on the next growth phase.
COST REDUCTION:
Throughout the quarter, the Company made progress in its cost-reduction initiatives, which focused on streamlining its operations. This included evaluating personnel and consultants to establish a more flexible and efficient organisational structure and assessing the utilisation of third-party software and contractors while reviewing their engagement terms.
As the Company continues to implement these initiatives, the effects of the cost reductions will become more evident. It's worth noting that, besides these initiatives, the Company is incurring non-recurring expenses as part of its M&A efforts.
M&A OVERVIEW:
During the quarter, the Company focused on implementing its operational groups' strategy. In particular, it successfully acquired Invrsion (ASX: 26 September 2023), a technology company specialising in 3D and mixed reality solutions, to strengthen its Fashion, Retail, Service Agencies, and Food operating group. Additionally, the Company is in the final stages of completing the acquisition of MYR (ASX: 8 August 2023), a 3D technology company revolutionising the fashion and apparel industry. The Company aims to acquire selective companies in the XR and AI space to drive its organic growth activity further and better serve its clients worldwide.

GLOSSARY:
FY24 TCV is a metric that combines all contracts, including subscription and maintenance packages, that the Company expects to convert into revenue (or a percentage thereof) during the fiscal year, subject to audit review. The Company notes that quarterly cash receipts may vary depending on the solution and/or service provided to the end customer, and any individual material contract award will be separately announced to the market as applicable. Furthermore, the Company notes that most of its current revenue-generating activities still depend on upfront and implementation fees (in addition to a recurring revenue component). Therefore, cash receipts and TCV metrics can significantly vary each period, while organically growing on a full fiscal year basis. The final revenue figure for FY24 is subject to audit review.
INTEGRATEDXR[] is the Company’s solutions and service suite, from Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies to Metaverse, ICT Infrastructure and devices, Kiosks, 3D Modeling and Rendering services and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Vection Technologies seeks to help businesses bridge the physical and digital worlds, through a unique INTEGRATEDXR[] experience.
