Two significant items in the 2020 result that were not part of the comparative 2019 result – the impact of AASB 16 Leases accounting changes and the JobKeeper subsidy. To make the years comparable, the effects of AASB 16 and JobKeeper have been reversed to arrive at a 2020 “normalised” profit which is then comparable.

The negative effect of AASB 16 in 2020 of $0.5 million will diminish over the next four years and then become a positive adjustment for the last five years of the lease term increasing to a positive impact on statutory profit during the last year of the lease of approximately $0.5 million.

  • Certain amounts shown here do not correspond to the 2019 financial statements and reflect adjustments made – refer to Note 24 of the 2020 financial statements.

4. Overview and outlook – Gyrostabilization

==> picture [186 x 331] intentionally omitted <==

“Within ten years every new vessel built will have gyrostabilization” Mark Miocevich 2020

  • Sales team in place

  • All models designed and built (VG1000SD in 2020)

  • New scalable production facility completed (up to $100m capacity PA)

  • Global Supply chain operating

==> picture [428 x 286] intentionally omitted <==

VEEM’s new gyro assembly facility was opened in March 2020 by the Minister for Defence, The Hon. Linda Reynolds. The first VG1000SD VEEM Gyro is in the background.

15

  • Gyro sales tripled from 2019 to $4.8m with improved enquiries and leads into FY2021

  • $4.1m of new orders received in the first 6 weeks of FY2021 incl. two VG1000SD gyros, one for Damen ships and one for a private owner

  • New gyro facility completed and in operation by end FY2020. Estimate can handle up to $100m of orders per annum

  • First VG1000SD completed for Damen ships – largest operating marine gyrostabilizer in the world with angular momentum of 520 kNms

  • Second order for Damen in July 2020 demonstrates market acceptance that VEEM Gyros deliver significant physical and financial benefits for commercial vessels

  • Vessel end-user for second Damen order is Naviera Integral, an offshore oil field supply contractor, marking VEEM’s first gyro sale into this market

==> picture [638 x 413] intentionally omitted <==

  • Assumes AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.71.

  • VEEM signed a three-year frame agreement with Damen Shipyards for the supply of VEEM Gyros

  • One of the Europe’s largest boatbuilders, Damen sells 175 vessels per year, including 20 FCS vessels, providing a major platform for increasing sales of VEEM Gyros

  • On top of new builds, retrofitting a VEEM Gyro to an FCS vessel is generally straightforward and there is a significant fleet of FCS vessels already in service. The retrofit market is huge

  • Damen will continue to work with VEEM to incorporate the VEEM Gyros into additional Damen platforms and vessels in the near term

  • Damen’s adoption of the VEEM Gyro technology is a major step in terms of acceptance in the large commercial market and follows Damen’s initial two orders of VEEM’s VG1000SD gyros in 2019 and 2020 which were for FCS vessels

  • This is a celebration of eight years of hard work by the VEEM Gyro team

==> picture [234 x 359] intentionally omitted <==

18

  • Adoption of the technology on larger vessels is expected to continue with shipbuilders offering a VEEM Gyro as an option and end-users increasing their demand for the enhanced experience that a more stable vessel provides

  • Superyacht market take-up of the product is expected to increase rapidly as more vessels with VEEM Gyros join the global fleet and word spreads as to the effectiveness of the stabilization

  • Additional stabilization enhances the commercial argument for installing a VEEM Gyro through more operating days and safer, more efficient operation. We expect the take up of VEEM Gyros on commercial vessels to increase through FY2021 and beyond

  • Defence take-up is expected to mature over a longer period of time due to the conservative nature of this industry. VEEM will continue to educate the defence industry on the product with a longer-term view to wide-spread take-up

==> picture [249 x 373] intentionally omitted <==

19

The outlook remains subject to the future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • VEEM has now cemented itself as the market leader in the production of large gyros. Sales and enquiries are continuing to grow at an accelerating rate

  • Market acceptance of the VEEM Gyro range has accelerated through a period of sea trials, demonstrations and subsequent sales with two VG1000SD sales to Damen Shipyards. Frame agreement with Damen Shipyards is extremely significant

  • Expansion of gyro facility in Canning Vale has been validated with the recent increase in orders and enquiries. The facility can manage up to $100m of gyros per annum

  • Precision engineering, defence and propulsion work will continue to underpin VEEM’s operations, with defence work continuing for several key customers
