“Revenue increased to $19.8 million in the third quarter of FY24, a notable 82% increase compared to the first half of this fiscal year. We attribute this growth to our expanded operational capabilities and initiatives, which have broadened our market presence and deepened our industry engagement.

During this quarter, we are pleased to have secured a material contract in the defence sector, underscoring our commitment to this critical sector. Additionally, we have successfully integrated our recent acquisition, Invrsion, which marks a significant step in our expansion into the fashion industry. This diversifies our portfolio and reinforces our commitment to sustainable growth.

QUARTERLY CASHFLOW SUMMARY:

At 31 March 2024, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of ~$7.7m (31 December 2023: $5.5m).

Cash receipts for Q3 FY24 were ~$11.8m, compared to ~$5.7m in Q3 FY23. This resulted in net cash inflows from operating activities of ~$ $4.1 m, compared to $(1.2)m in the previous quarter.

During the previous quarter, the Company began recording its R&D development cash outflows in the investment section of Appendix 4C. Previously, it conservatively expensed all R&D costs in the operating cash flows.

Cash outflows from investing activities for the quarter were ~$0.7m, compared to ~$0.3m in Q3 FY24. This is mainly related to the Company’s technology development activities.

On 21 March 2024, the Company received full payment in relation to the defence contract award announced on 12 February 2023. The Company has completed and delivered this project during the period. The outward supplier cash flows are expected to be remitted in Q1 FY25 (initially expected in Q4 FY24). Even accounting for these additional outflows, the company’s operating result and cash at bank would have remained positive.

Cash outflows from business activities expenditure totalled ~$9.0m for the quarter, consisting of administration (~$0.7m), and R&D, staff costs, and operating cost of sales (~$7.9m), with the balance to advertising and marketing and leased assets (~$0.4m).

Debt of ~$8.0m reduced by ~$1.3m from the previous period.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW:

During the quarter, Vection has strategically advanced its organisational structure, leading to optimised operational efficiency across its business units. This period was marked by successful contract executions, enhancing the Company’s market presence in various sectors. Material contract achievements include:

  • A $4.9 million contract with a cybersecurity-focused technology service provider, enhancing infrastructure security solutions for law enforcement and government agencies. (ASX: 12 February 2024)

  • Multiple contracts totalling $971,000 across the healthcare, real estate, and retail divisions demonstrate the Company’s diversified market approach and the effectiveness of its reorganised operational groups. (ASX: 20 February 2024)

  • The introduction of the first XR naval solution powered by the RNDR network, valued at $500,000, signifies the Company’s innovative push into naval maintenance management using spatial computing technologies. (ASX: 19 April 2024)

The Company has continued to build on the work performed in the first half of the year regarding customer and partner relationships. Notable projects like Lunar City are progressing, and we expect further updates as these initiatives develop. Additionally, integrating the latest acquisition, Invrsion, within the wider group opens exciting opportunities in the fashion industry, enhancing our footprint in this vertical.

These achievements reflect Vection’s strategic realignment of its organisational framework, designed to foster a more responsive and dynamic approach to market challenges and opportunities. The organisational results have particularly shone in the R&D area, where Vection now boasts a wide range of products, reflecting our commitment to growth and innovation.

TECHNOLOGY:

Throughout the quarter, the Company made significant progress towards developing a comprehensive offering in spatial computing that aims to assist customers in improving their operations, reducing costs, and achieving their ESG objectives. Some of the key technological advancements made this quarter include:

  • ShelfZone 2.0 and X-RHEA: Both platforms have undergone significant enhancements, which have focused on customer-driven updates to improve the realism and interactivity of virtual environments. Integrating spatial computing technologies has enabled more natural and intuitive interactions within these environments, improving user engagement and operational efficiencies for real-world applications.

  • 3DFrame Updates: The latest developments in the 3DFrame platform have improved system interactions and broadened file compatibility, which are critical for supporting complex spatial computations. These enhancements have made integrating 3D content into different workflows easier and paved the way for broader adoption in architecture, engineering, and construction industries.

  • ENWORKS Evolution: The new version of ENWORKS introduces advanced UI/UX designs vital for spatial computing applications. These improvements make the platform more user-friendly and intuitive, allowing users to manipulate and interact with 3D spatial data more effectively.

  • Remote Assistance Tools: The Company's remote assistance tools have been upgraded with new deliveries of advanced hardware such as Hololens and Metaquests. These tools now incorporate enhanced spatial computing capabilities, enabling technicians and engineers to perform complex tasks in virtual settings that mirror real-world conditions. This feature helps reduce errors and improve training and support processes.

  • Apple Vision Pro Compatibility: The Company has been actively working towards making its INTEGRATEDXR[] ecosystem compatible with Apple Vision Pro, in line with current market trends. This strategic move aims to cater to the increasing demand for advanced XR solutions among professional users, thereby positioning Vection as a leading provider of cutting-edge technologies that meet its customers’ needs.

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.
