ASX RELEASE

CONSOLIDATIONAL QUARTER TOWARDS SECOND HALF GROWTH

DECEMBER 2022 (Q2 FY23) ACTIVITIES AND CASHFLOW REPORT

Vection Technologies Ltd (ASX:VR1, OTC:VCTNY), the INTEGRATED XR[Ò] company, is pleased to update the market on its activities and associated cash flows and cash position for the quarter ended 31 December 2022 and up to the date of this announcement.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Vection Technologies consolidated its cash inflow position aligned with its revenue guidance objective of $24 to $26 million.

  • The Company’s cash management initiatives have delivered a final cash position of ~$13.5 million.

  • Total Contract Value (TCV) for fiscal 2023 grows to ~$10 million.

  • Critical opportunities in defence and aerospace expected to deliver strong commercial growth in the second half of fiscal 2023.

  • Progressing with multiple discussions in relation to potential global acquisitions.

OVERVIEW:

Vection Technologies has consolidated its cash inflow position compared to Q1 fiscal 2023, with cash receipts of ~$4.5 million. The second quarter further builds up on the growth and scale expected for fiscal 2023, expected to generate a revenue guidance of $24 to $26 million.

The Company’s cash management and cost reduction initiatives have delivered a final cash position of ~$13.5 million. During the quarter, the Company continued to invest in infrastructure, people, and IP development.

This robust cash position will enable the Company to continue to pursue the fast-growing metaverse opportunity through its INTEGRATEDXR[®] offering, supported by a strong infrastructure, sales channels, and R&D department.

Vection Technologies further notes a strong acceleration in defence and aerospace opportunities, which are expected to deliver strong commercial growth in the second half of fiscal 2023. In particular, during January 2023, the Company announced the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop the first Virtual Reality (VR) metaverse platform to promote space travel ahead of the Artemis Program (NASA's program to return astronauts to the lunar surface), called Lunar City. Under the terms of the MoU, executed with Thales Alenia Space, Next One Film Group and ALTEC, Vection Technologies was appointed as exclusive provider of VR and metaverse technologies.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company grew its cash receipts to ~$9 million and its Total Contract Value for the year to ~$10 million. The Company notes that most of its current revenue generating activities are still dependant 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 year basis.

During the quarter, the Company significantly advanced its commercial activities within the Service Agencies, Sports & Betting, Media & Communication and Automotive & Naval sectors. During the second half of fiscal 2023, the Company expects to finalise discussions on opportunities within the defence and aerospace sector, further underpinning the growth forecast on a full year basis.

The Total Contract Value is a metric that combines all contracts executed with clients that the Company expects to deliver during the current fiscal year.

Mr Jacopo Merli was added to the Company’s board of directors. Mr Merli is the founder and CEO of JMC Group (JMC), acquired by Vection Technologies during 2021 to accelerate the expansion within the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region towards its INTEGRATED XR[Ò] objectives. Since his entrance within the organisational ranks, Mr Merli has been pivotal in the definition of a cohesive strategy in the defence, military, and law enforcement sector.

Mr Merli replaced Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni as Chief Operating Officer (COO) to ensure a strategic continuation of the Company’s overarching vision with a European focus. Mr Orgnoni transitioned to the Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) roles, filling critical organisational gaps to keep building long-term value.

The Company has structured its global sales structure focussing on specific regions: Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific (APAC) and the Americas (AMER). Aligned with this rationale, Vection Technologies has appointed regional CEOs to bring to market a cohesive INTEGRATED XR[Ò] offering, enabling strong synergies, and cross- and up-selling opportunities:

  • Vection Technologies EMEA - CEO: Mr Jacopo Merli.

  • Vection Technologies APAC - CEO: Mr Paul Clayton.

  • Vection Technologies AMER - CEO: Mr Gabriele Sorrento.

The Company’s global Research and Development (R&D), Marketing and Financial Administration divisions remain centralised to extract optimal synergy benefits. This will allow the Company to effectively service its global regional sales operations towards continued scale while maintaining a strong control function.

To evolve its management and sales’ breadth and experience, the Company has progressed with several critical additions to its ranks. These include, among others:

  • Dennis Pacella – Vice President Sales, Europe.

  • Antonio Arocha – Senior Enterprise Account Executive, AMER.

The Company further notes that it is currently evaluating new management additions and organisational changes for its healthcare & pharma division to enable an effective and sustainable growth within this strategic sector.

Furthermore, during the period:

  • the Company consolidated its existing partnership with KIOSK Embedded Systems Europe, to expand and consolidate its presence within Northern Europe across its INTEGRATEDXR[®] suite. This partnership is expected to underpin further the growth expected during the second half of fiscal 2023.

  • Significantly expanded its indirect European sales team via partnerships and distribution agreements.

These initiatives will prove critical to support the strong growth expected for the second half of fiscal 2023, as the Company scales globally.

Partners:

During the quarter, the Company significantly progressed its existing relationships with consulting & service providers and Fortune Global 500 professional services partners. These include Accenture, DXC Technology, NTT Data and Toshiba Tec, among others.

Furthermore, the Company continued to promote 3DFrame for Webex by Cisco to clients, partners, and distributors, with initial clients being onboarded during the first half. 3Dframe is the no-code metaverse - presentations App that brings Webex meetings’ content to life (more information here: https://vection - technologies.com/solutions/products/3d frame/webex).

The Company expects to see strong growth in TCV from these partners during the second half of fiscal 2023.

Research and Development (R&D) Activities:

During the quarter, the Company made a significant leap in the structuring of its R&D department, making key additions and managerial changes. These initiatives are expected to generate a strong acceleration in innovation across Vection Technologies’ INTEGRATEDXR[®] suite.

During the period:

  • the Company was also granted three patents by the relevant authorities to ensure strong protection of its INTEGRATEDXR[®] IP internally developed.

  • Released multiple new releases for its flagship solutions 3DFrame, EnWorks, Mindesk and significantly progressed the development of the XRkiosk.

The Company notes that R&D activities are not included in the cashflow report as they are independently evaluated by subject matter experts at the end of each reporting period for local fiscal reason within its European entities.

COMPANY QUARTERLY FINANCIAL OVERVIEW:

Total quarterly cash receipts from clients for the quarter ended 31 December 2022 were ~$4.5M (Q3 FY22 Cash Receipts from customers: ~$4M).

A robust cash balance of ~$13.5M (30 September 2022: ~$14M) provides strong foundations for management to deliver on the overarching strategic growth objectives, including its aggressive acquisition strategy.

Business activities expenditure totalled ~$5.8M for the quarter, consisting of administration (~$0.6M) and R&D, staff costs and operating cost of sales (combined ~$4.8M), with the balance to advertising and marketing and leased assets (combined ~$0.4M).

During the second half, the Company expects to significantly improve its underlying result as it implements significant efficiencies and grows its cash inflows from operating activities.

The aggregate amount of payments to related parties and their associates included in the current quarter cash flows from operating activities totalled ~$201k. These payments consisted of Directors’ fees and salaries paid to directors. All payments were on normal commercial terms.

OUTLOOK:

The Company expects to continue its growth trajectory during fiscal 2023, as a result of the ongoing strong investments performed during fiscal 2022.

The Company also notes that it is progressing with multiple discussions in relation to potential global acquisitions across multiple jurisdictions aligned with its INTEGRATED XR[Ò] objectives.

As businesses increase the adoption of Extended Reality ( XR ) -based solutions, Vection Technologies remains strongly positioned to capitalise on this inevitable growth trend.
