2021 Highlights
-
First export order of Forever Pipe delivered, 43% increase in sales of Forever Pipe/Hollow Bar
-
Overall 19% increase in revenue, generating profit and cash flow.
-
R&D has led to breakthrough developments of bends and T-pieces which will significantly improve the life-cycle and plant safety even further.
-
First deliveries for Hydro Tasmania cast and machined items completed. More to follow.
Outlook
-
Continuing to bid on work across the country where utilisation of the Company’s foundry and precision machining capability enables VEEM to provide specialist solutions for customers
-
Continue to pursue opportunities for Forever Pipe/Hollow Bar domestically and overseas, including new applications
-
Maintaining the engineering capability also supports the marine and defence businesses
-
The revenue and margins will be impacted for 1H FY22 due to a number of non-conformances that had to be reworked. Processes and procedures have been improved and the quality is back on track.
-
The very tight labour market in WA has also meant recruiting has been a challenge to employ skilled trades required, which has constrained capacity. Seeking novel ways to obtain people/skills.

4. Overview and outlook – Gyrostabilization
==> picture [186 x 331] intentionally omitted <==
“Within ten years every new vessel built will have gyrostabilization” Mark Miocevich 2020
-
New orders received for four gyros worth $1.7m. Current order book is $2.7m. Orders “lumpy” with many very close.
-
One new order was for a commercial retrofit which required immediate delivery to fit a servicing window. VEEM was able to deliver from inventory, validating the build-to-plan strategy.
-
New European Sales Manager appointed to drive gyro sales growth through direct representation of VEEM in the large European markets.
-
New Production Manager - Gyrostabilizers appointed to continue driving improvements in costs and capacity of the VEEM Marine gyrostabilizer products, facility and supply chain.
-
New After-Sales Manager with global marine product support experience appointed.
-
New technical services technician appointed USA to ease COVID implications.
-
VEEM is receiving a higher proportion of enquiries from vessel designers, operators and owners looking for larger gyrostabilizers to suit larger vessels. This is an encouraging sign that VEEMs unique offering of gyrostabilizers that are engineered and sized for commercial, defence and large motor yachts are recognized as the best and possibly only roll reduction solution for vessels in these categories.
==> picture [109 x 224] intentionally omitted <==
13
-
Gyro sales are expected to grow rapidly given the current strong level of orders, leads and enquiries and the huge potential market. Direct sales capacity increased in Europe with more to follow.
-
VEEM’s strategy of building to a production plan based on sales forecasts should appeal to the retrofit market, in particular, as it will provide inventory available for short delivery and installation periods.
-
VEEM continues to expand and formalise its capability in the area of aftersales and support. Ensuring the business is correctly resourced close to key markets in order to support the future installed base
-
Commercial retrofit and luxury superyacht new build markets are expected to be the major growth areas with defence expected to take longer to implement new technologies.
-
VEEM continues to develop its gyro product offering through a dedicated engineering team located within the gyro facility in Western Australia. In FY22 the team will work on improved performance of the current range, completing the VG750 and a new smaller frame size.

-
Capital raise ($6.7m) completed in September 2021 to fund next stage of growth through expansion of its gyrostabilizer sales team, investment in R&D and increased working capital.
-
Part sell down by the Miocevich family (now 50.2%) has increased liquidity and free float.
-
Launch of VEEM Marine as marketing brand to encompass both VEEM Gyro and VEEM Propellers. The cross-selling feature of this is an important marketing concept for VEEM going forward.
-
Accreditation for DISP and ISO45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) achieved.
-
Policies on global procurement being developed to include evaluation of slavery, corruption, government accountability.
-
ISO 27001 (Information security management) accepted as the next standard to work toward to follow on from our DISP accreditation.

-
FY22 has had some early challenges in some areas which have impacted productivity, costs and the financial results. Confident that these specific issues have been rectified and the productivity and financial performance is back on track.
-
Strong order book and global market for VEEM’s propellers. Confident propeller sales and margins will be stronger than FY21 going forward. The first of two new machines has been installed with the second due Jan 2022. Commodity price increases led to some margin erosion on propellers. Price rises have been implemented and are now starting to flow through to revenue.
-
The very tight labour market has also meant that we have been unable to recruit as many skilled trades as we desire, constraining capacity. We are working to solve this.
-
Delays in installations and commissioning of gyros has led to delays in repeat business. This has meant that sales for the first half are only expected to be $1.5m. The volume and quality of leads and recent orders provides confidence to expect 2H FY22 orders and sales to be significantly up on FY21 sales. As VEEM continues to build gyros to a plan, it will be able to sell from inventory in the 2H and beyond.
-
Sea and air freight costs and duration have risen over the period since Jan 2019 as has been well reported.
-
Much of the business continues to do well and overall we expect the above impacts to mean that 1H FY22 revenue is in the order of $26m with EBITDA of around $3m. We expect a strong 2H FY22 noting this may be impacted by labour shortages.
==> picture [749 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
16
-
VEEM is now without doubt the market leader in the production of large gyros. Leads and enquiries are continuing to grow giving increased confidence that the 1H FY22 lag is temporary and large sales increases are imminent. The sales and marketing team has been expanded to ensure VEEM is directly engaging with the key markets.
-
Propeller market is very strong globally and VEEM has already increased capacity to take advantage of this, with further capacity coming in early 2H FY22. VEEM is also considering further strategic options in this market.
-
Precision engineering and defence work will continue to underpin VEEM’s operations, with the next ASC contract commencing delivery in 2H FY22.
-
Continue to invest in R&D and ongoing improvements in all areas of the business to drive growth and margins.
